She watched as Liam opened his eyes and his mouth formed a shape. She hoped it was actually a smile but it looked like he was snarling at her. His eyes rolled back and she was worried about him. It was possible that he was delirious and his unintelligible mumbling strengthened that. He seemed to want to tell her something but she couldn’t understand him.
As he nodded about the rabbits, she approached him more eagerly but still concerned. She heard what she thought was a name but she couldn’t tell what except it wasn’t hers or anyone else that she knew. She frowned but would ask when he was more coherent. She placed both rabbits next to him so he could eat both. She would eat later but now he needed his strength to get healed. She would deal with whatever problems had come about later.
His eyes drifted shut and she shuffled through her bag to find some cloth and went to the stream and got it wet. She started to gently clean his bigger wounds, frequently going back and forth to the stream and whispering words of encouragement and apology for any roughness from cleaning his wounds.
