Camie was almost running at this point and Théa was scared that she would throw her over her shoulder and continue like that. Fortunately Camie didn't do any of that and she just continued supporting Théa until they reached the closest infirmary. It wasn't that far because they had been lucky enough to be standing five minutes away from a building and soon they found themselves in front of the door.

Camie immediately let go of Théa and knocked loudly on the door. She knocked so hard that the door opened and Camie immediately barged into the room. She was used to doors breaking in front of her at this point and she didn't pay it any attention anymore.

"Is someone here? Miss Nurse?"

The room was rather small and Camie soon understood that the Nurse was absent for the moment. She went back out to get Théa and walked her to the closest chair:

"Sit here. The Nurse should be back soon. Should I go look for her? Does it hurt a lot? Show me."

Camie didn't wait for Théa to answer and started pulling on her shirt.

"C-Camie?"

Our main character couldn't hear what Théa was saying and she was in full panic mode at this point. She was pulling on Théa's shirt more and more while the latter finally woke up and grabbed Camie's arms to stop her. Camie was so focused however that she didn't notice her hands being immobilized and she only woke up when Théa brung her wrists closer and screamed her name:

"Camie!"

The young woman finally snapped out of it and when she looked up she saw a very flushed Théa. Seeing the hero blushing made her realize what she had just done and she looked down at the shirt again before screaming:

"Sorry!"

Wanting to put as much distance between them as possible, Camie suddenly backed away and lost her balance. She already accepted that she would fall on her butt and closed her eyes not trying to prevent it at all. But when the world stopped moving, Camie realized that she didn't feel pain at all. She focused on her body to make sure but there was no doubt possible. She was fine.

Wondering how that was possible, Camie opened her eyes only to find herself inches from green eyes. She almost screamed again but held back. She tried getting away from Théa but her head was maintained in place by Théas hand. How could she be so strong? Camie knew she was Black Gold but it felt as if her hand was made out of stone.

"Are you okay?"

Théa didn't look away from Camie for a second, waiting for an answer anxiously. Camie immediately nodded and that was when she felt the ground under her body. That was when she realized that she was lying on the ground and that Théa was on top of her. It seemed Théa had protected Camie from the fall, her arms around her waist and head. Théa was indeed strong but the reason why her hand felt like stone was the floor tiles under it.

Having realized that, Camie started blushing. Why was she always the one getting saved by Théa? This was so embarrassing. She brought her here to help her and she only made things worse:

"I'm sorry!

-Are you okay?

-Yes! Yes. I'm fine."

She suddenly remembered about Théas wound and started fidgeting:

"What about you? Are you okay? Oh! I'm so sorry. Sorry!"

She grabbed Théa's shoulder but seeing the latter twitch made her immediately let go. Camie raised her hands on top of her head and let them there, not daring touch anything anymore:

"Sorry! I'm so sorry!

-No, it's okay. I'm glad you're okay.

-But..."
