A/N Boy it's been a god damn while. Hi? Is anyone even gonna check this? Fuck knows-

???'s POV

"Uh.....babes?"

I awoke, involuntarily groaning in pain.

".....That was not an attractive sound, hun"

I frowned, opening my eyes. Well. Eye. The other stubbornly refused to open, stuck together with what I assumed to be dried blood. I reached my hand towards it but the person stood before me grabbed my wrist before I could.

"Maybe don't injure yourself more?"

They wore a forest green tunic, a brown cloak layered atop it. Their deep brown hair was tied back, a few stray strands falling in their face. Eyes hidden behind tinted eyeglasses, their expression was a mix of amusement and confusion. Faded green trousers sit tucked into worn boots, a pack tied around his shoulder using a rope.

I bit my lip, not entirely sure if I trusted them "...Does it look bad?"

They raised an eyebrow "Babes, that wound is bigger than my-" they paused, looking me up and down "Nevermind-"

I blinked in confusion "Um-"

"Yes it looks bad. But don't worry Hun. Sleep will fix you up." They spoke, offering a reassuring smile, flashing brilliant white teeth.

"Sleep..? But...wasnt I already unconscious just now? Doesn't that count as sleep?"

Stifling a chuckle, they shake their head, a few more strands of hair coming loose "No, it doesn't. Also, /I'm/ sleep, babes. It's what they call me,"

I felt my eyes widen "Sleep?! The-"

They cut me off "Yes, the thief. God, you steal a couple mementos and you're treated like a criminal,"

".....Aren't you a criminal?"

".............next question hun"

"Uh, why do you keep calling me hun?"

"......I didn't mean literally ask me something else-"

I smile sheepishly "Oh- sorry,"

They nod, letting go of my wrist and digging around in their pack, pulling out a sheepskin bottle and a clean (ish). They poured some of the liquid from the bottle onto the rag, and gently started dabbing at the dried blood on and around my eye.

I winced at the touch upon the wound, but bit back any complaints. They were trying to help me after all....I think.

Okay I know this is very short but I have kind of left the fandom, so I don't know if I'm actually going to continue this. I'll think about it.
