The minutes felt like hours as you continued to nurse Loona's wound, constantly holding her tighter as she continued to quietly whimper in pain. The blood showed signs of slowing as her healing factor began to take over from the crude bandage on her shoulder, "Who the fuck were those guys!?" an aggravated voice yelled in a fatherly tone, "Well get me someone who does!"

You quietly peered over the table, being careful as to not disturb Loona's resting, to find Joel and Ellie looking over the demolished party, "Dad, it's okay, that was fucking badass" Ellie assured with enthralment, "I can't remember the last time you killed someone"

Joel sighed, "I guess I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a little fun just now" he admitted with a grumble, "But what about that damage deposit!? I ain't getting that back"

"Daaad" Ellie groaned while looking out across the tables, "Oh shit Eli!?"

She hastily darted around the now scattered furniture toward your position, "Shit are you okay, I didn't even think..." she trailed off as her gaze moved to the heavy-breathing hound in your arms, "Fuck is she alright?"

You looked down at her with a questioning gaze before returning to Ellie, "She's-"

"I'm fine" Loona cut off, trying to uphold her glacial persona.

"I'll go get you some water" she noted before sprinting out of view.

You chuckle under your breath as Loona hastily retreated back into your chest, "What's so funny?" She asked in confusion.

"You acting all tough despite being cuddled up with me" you explain, prompting a frustrated exhale from her, "It's adorable"

"Shut up" she laughed before continuing to immobilise you with her arms.

As she held you tightly, your eyes began to feel weighted, the feeling of safety becoming overwhelming as you began to grow weary. Suddenly a loud crash came arising from the stage as an aggravated imp kicked his way back into the room, "FUCK MOXXIE, I can't believe you'd let him get away!" Blitzo yelled in frustration, his palms gently rubbing at his head.

"How are YOU going to pin this on ME!" He retorted with a defensive demeanour, "You almost got a concussion with that little fiasco of yours"

Blitzo's face turned sour, pivoting to waltz in your direction, "It was the fastest way" he noted with vigour.

"It was a solid pain of glass" Moxxie stated with the rolling of his eyes.

You sighed as the reality of their argument hit you, he'd slipped through your fingers again, "Fuck"

"Oh, my perfect little baby girl" Blitzo cried out before diving down to look over his daughter, "Shit we need to get you to a hospital, your bleeding"

"Ugh, get away from me" she replied in disgust at his concern while secretly appreciating it.

Despite this Blitzo continued to worry over her, inspecting the bandage and attempting to make her more comfortable, "She'll be okay, right?" you ask with confidence.

She nodded in response, prompting you to carefully remove yourself from her and lift yourself onto your feet, leaving her to fend for herself as Blitzo hastily took your place, "You two alright?" You begin, actively stretching out your now stiff arms.
