Withered Fall

⚔︎.4

A few days later, the girl was able to stand up but that was just about it

It has in fact turned out that a few years ago there was an incident with a particular green boy

She had helped this man perform a certain task that involved explosives on a very special building in order for him to drop a bounty for her

The girl of course did it, but the explosives did manage to catch her leg, leaving a terrible scar that she stitched up herself

Or her arm of which some red vines cut a few months back

The first scar she got from Quackity on their first Betrayal journey

To the Scar her relative gave her when he was running his so called nation

All those scars from these battles had led to the breaking down of her body

"Y/n I said rest" Philza said when he entered the and saw Y/n attempting to stand

"Phil I can't just sit here and do nothing" The girl complained

"It's like meditating, you've got to be patient"Philza instructed

"Even meditation, I got breaks Phil" the girl said

"That's only because I let you have breaks, but Y/n you have to heal"Phil said

"I want to go outside Phil, it's lonely" She said looking at the fire

"I know I'm just so busy and Ranboo -" Philza started

"Ranboo!?" The girl exclaimed trying to get up

"Ranboo's here!?" The girl asked standing up after falling a few times

"Y/n! What did I just say?" Philza scolded

"But-" the girl started

"You can see him tomorrow if he's here" Philza said

Later that evening Technoblade let Steve in for the night

The delighted polar bear ran over to the girl and cuddled around her

"Unbelievable, he likes you more than me" Technoblade said holding a bowl of chips or crisps

"It's cause I'm not American" the girl teased

"Wow" the man said as he sat down near the fire setting the bowl between the two

The girl stuck her hands out towards the fire

"So, Mr American how do you know Phil?" The girl asked

"How do you know Phil?" The man asked

"I asked you first" the girl responded

"Alright, uh Phil saved me when I was younger, well actually he's saved me multiple times so I owe him my life"Technoblade admitted to the girl

She nodded

"What about you"

"When I was younger I uh lost my mommy and I had found Phil. Back then I was hot headed but Phil taught me to meditate, he became my mentor and in a way... My father"the girl said softly

"Wow.... 'mommy'?" Technoblade teased

The girl threw a chip at the man

"You Americans are such a tease" The girl said

"And you Britains are so .." the man started

What was he going to say?

Odd?

Strange?

Attractive?

No, no not attractive

Well, maybe she was but she's didn't need to know that's how he thought of her

"Weird" The man responded

"Weird? That's the best you could come up with?" The girl asked

"Yeah, weird you say crisps instead of chips and chips instead of fries" Technoblade explained

"And you guys say cookie instead of biscuit" the girl argued

"Its a cookie" techno said

"But you bake it!" The girl retorted

This went on until eventually they both decide to go to bed

Technoblade upstairs to his room and Y/n comfortably cuddled up with Steve downstairs Infront of the fire

The next day when the girl woke up it was from talking, usually not a good sign

Typically it would mean that she was kidnapped in her sleep and they were plotting what to do with her

But Phil said it was safe here, so certainly she wasn't in danger

She paid more attention to the voices

Philza, Technoblade and...

The girl got up quickly tearing one of her stitches

"Ranboo!"she shouted gaining the attention of the younger boy

"Y/n!" The boy shouted excitedly running over and wrapping her in a big hug

"Ranboo you have grown at least a foot since I last saw you, what are you? 6'8? 6'7?" The girl asked

"6'7" the boy responded

"Ranboo, you've got to break me out of here please" the girl begged quietly

"No can do, I heard your hurt bad"the boy said

"Ranboo, please I'm stuck in one spot for 24 hours for 3 weeks" the girl begged

"No, Ranboo don't listen to her she has to rest for 4 weeks now because she tore one of her stitches"

"Phiilllll" the girl complained

"I don't make the rules "Phil says

"Yes you do!" The girl said

"Yeah, your right I do" Philza said with a small evil smile

Steve walked past the group to go outside

Maybe she has to stay in all day but at least today Ranboo was there to talk with, or to play games with

"Alright tell me more about Micheal" the girl said

"He's the sweetest little kid, he loves drawing " Ranboo says

"I hope I can meet him one day" the girl said with a small glimmer in her eyes

"Yeah, you can, but it'll mean seeing -" Ranboo started

"Nevermind Ranboo it's fine"the girl said

"What's with you two anyway?"Ranboo asks

"Ranboo just drop it" the girl muttered queitly

The two continued to play their games in silence until nightfall when Ranboo went home

"You alright?" Technoblade asked when he entered his house as saw the girl hugging her knees looking at the fire

"Yeah. Perfectly fine" the girl mumbled

"Steve is outside, guess he didn't wanna come in tonight " technoblade said making the girl frown a bit

"But not to worry I can bring some pillows and a blanket down from my room" he said climbing up the later

A few moments later the man came back down, two blankets, two pillows

"Thank you Technoblade " the girl said queitly

"Techno" the man corrected her, giving her a blanket and a pillow

The girl looked up at him

"You can call me Techno, or tech if you'd like" he said looking the girl in her eyes
