Kaena helped Vieira take the bandage around her torso off just the other day to air out the wound on her back. It was ugly, scabbed over, and would scar something hideous when it was gone. It was probably better to have the wound on her backside, where she could not reach, so she would not compulsively pick at it. Kaena still had her do minimal things, if that, and she did not question her. It left her with more free time, unfortunately, and she spent that time in her small room picking at the lego blocks Snake had given her. She did not build with them much anymore, except the last few days, because there were a limited amount of things she could build. She was not creative and left with the same "building" sort of shape that was rather boring.
When she heard her name and the voice of Snake, her head snapped up to look out of her room. Kaena was gone for a little while; she did not know where she had gone, but she knew Snake would be allowed here. He had saved her life and Kaena had rewarded him with something. Slowly, the slave picked herself up and did her best to reduce the pain in her back. She could move but sudden movements or a certain twist of the skin would open her up and she would bleed. It would not be long before the scabs were gone but it was taking time with how awful, deep, and rigid they were and the fact neither of them had anything put on the wounds to help them heal. Her body was fighting it naturally and she was lucky not to have gotten an infection.
She stepped from the cave and turned to see Snake, her eyes looking to his chest to find somewhere to put her eyes. "Hello, Snake," she called with her hand on the cave wall as she approached the entrance. She knew not to let anyone in without Kaena being here but she decided to move out on a limb and let him inside. "Kaena is not here but you can come in," she offered. They could sit comfortably in the middle of the cave where the light was good and Kaena would notice should she come home any time soon. Vieira did not even notice what the man was holding but she put a smile on her face and made sure to be out of his way for when he moved inside.
