(Haha most people are really surprised when I say that xD )
Shay regarded her with a critical eye, his gaze icy and piercing. He didn't think she was really telling the truth until she slid down the wall and started to cry. His harsh stance and expression softened a tad, even though she should have just listened to him and left in the first place. She seemed feverish, definitly hot to the touch, and he knew left untreated, a fever could make someone become delirious and even kill.
Sure, he was a trained killer, but not someone- a person. And not to just leave them to suffer.
He sighed, raking a hand through his hair. She seemed hopeless and lost so he bent down, squaring next to her. "Stay quiet," he ordered and gripped her arms, pulling her up into a standing position. There wasn't much he could do to hide her tail, so he decided to just take a hidden way he knew. He picked her up, his movements were neither mean nor nice, and set off at a brisk pace. He could just kill her if she caused to much trouble anyway.
They emerged in his backyard, his eyes flicking nervously back and forth the whole time. He felt on edge, who wouldn't have considering what would happen if someone found him... He slipped in the back door, dropping the bag of things on the counter for his sister.
"Who's that?" Ariel asked curiously, not noticing her distinguishing features, but Shay pushed past her with a shake of his head. "I'll be a while," he said quickly, heading down the hallway. "I'll explain later- don't come back here."
As he shut the door of his bedroom, he heard her mutter. "That doesn't sound good..."
He only locked the door before setting her carefully down on the bed- his bed. Messy and unmade from this morning. He went to the joined bathroom, filling a bowl with water and coming back with it and a rag. He dipped the rag in the cool water, wiping it over her exposed skin with meticulous precision and quickness, making sure not to actually touch her. The water would evaporate and cool her...
(Do they have like, medication?)
