Chapter 168: First Things First
Kim felt the early sunlight before she opened her eyes. She found herself with Elin in her arms, though she couldn't be sure what happened. She felt like much of the night was in a fog. Or at least after things started going south at the party.
She could feel Elin breathing as her she held Elin against her, letting her know that both of them were alright, regardless of what else might have happened in the night.
However, as she tried to move just a small amount, her entire body made it known that it was sore, and her right thigh complained the most. The pain brought back part of what had happened in the night. In addition to some of what thoughts she'd had about the men who'd helped her. Which she could only write off as allowances made from just being so tired after fighting so many armed soldiers for who knows how long.
At the very least, she was confident that it was behind her, which meant that as soon as Elin was awake, and the found Jonas and Elmo, they could head out from this place onto whatever was next.
Looking out the window, she could see that the sun was just starting to rise, which meant that others would likely be getting up as well. Which meant that she'd need to get up herself, as well as Elin, so they could head out before they got caught in whatever might come their way.
Still, she didn't want to let Elin out of her arms just yet. So, she thought she'd pass away the time looking at her stats. Besides, it wasn't like she had anything better to do. They weren't exactly in a private room, so it was limited what they could do here in the morning light without worrying about what others might see.
"Status," Kim said quietly, stroking Elin's hair.
