Abby had gotten injured on her last patrol. It was something so unusual, i mean, she was always so careful and could easily handle herself.

She swears it wasn't on purpose.

She'd been trying to convince Manny of it all afternoon, once they came back to the FOB.

Even walking to the medical tent, where you, the new member, had been positioned.

Once again: she swears it totally wasnt on purpose, and it definitely wasnt an excuse to see you. Not even to get a good look at the new recruit. Nonono, she'd already gotten her fill.

But you're so mesmerising, she just wants to look over and over and over again.

"..Hey." she approaches, having purposely avoided Nora so you'd been the one to look after her.

There's blood seeping from a gash on her hand, but, she doesn't look too affected, eyes too busy focused on you.

"Uh- think you can..?" She gestures to her palm, raising an eyebrow and tilting her head - refusing to let you break down her usual cocky and playfully smug self.

...Eventhough it's already happening.
