The ride back to camp was quiet. Almost too quiet for Micah's liking. Although your constant chatting was a lot at times, Micah still adored that side of you.
He adored every side of you. Though getting him to admit that would be pretty impossible.

Arriving at camp, Micah turned slightly to nudge you.
"Come on (Y/N). We're here" he said to you quietly.

You only mumbled in return, burying your head further into his coat.
With a huff, Micah climbed off of Baylock causing your upper body to fling forward slightly.

"Aghh Micah." You grumbled.
"Oh don't start." Micah sighed as he reached up to help you down.
You slid off of Baylock into his embrace, immediately burying your face in his chest.
Micah held onto your upper arms. You seemed so frail and weak all of a sudden.

"What's wrong?" He asked you gently.
"I..I feel-" you managed to whisper before your mind went black and body went numb.

Micah was able to catch you before your body hit the ground.
One arm on your back, the other hooked under your legs.

"Goddamnit, Miss Grimshaw!!" Micah yelled across camp as he walked further in, your body limp in his arms.
Hearing Micah's call, Susan came marching over. A look of concern plastered on her face upon seeing you.

"Mr Bell what on Earth happened? Is she hurt?" Susan asked worriedly.

"I don't know, I think she's getting sick." Micah responded unhelpfully.

"Okay, put her in her tent-"
"No. She's going in my tent." Micah completely ignored Susan. Though she only tutted as she hurried off to get medical supplies.

As Micah was carrying you to his tent, he received a few concerned looks from other people.
As he went past Pearson's wagon, he was suddenly beckoned over by two Irish accents. Though he only shot them a glance.

"Oi! Micah! What the fucks happened?!" Sean cursed loudly as he and Molly hurried over to follow him.

"Oh my god, what-" Molly attempted to ask Micah.

"Look, I don't know so don't ask!" He snapped back at her.

"Oi! Watch your mouth! We're her friends! Oi, Micah!-" Sean continued to call though Micah's only focus was getting you warm in his cot.

He gently placed you on his cot, yet he wasn't alone for long. Miss Grimshaw and Tilly came through with medical supplies and blankets.

"Okay Mr Bell, out!" Susan ordered as she grabbed his arm to pull him away.

"What? This is my goddamn tent!" He argued, yet Susan was a tough cookie and was able to practically throw him out of the tent. She only wanted to protect your dignity. Your clothes were soaked and you needed to be changed.

Micah stumbled out of the tent yet he lingered outside, pacing around. Almost like he was guarding the place.

Suddenly, Kieran comes running over, a small pile of clothes in his arms. Micah knew he was coming to you and stood in-front of the tent.

"Easy boy." Micah said to him in a low and almost intimidating tone, yet Kieran expressed no fear.

"Move. I need to get these to-" Kieran went to say yet was interrupted by the tent flap opening and Tilly popping her head out.

"Her clothes." Kieran said sincerely as he offered Tilly your clothes
"Thanks Kieran." She thanked him as she took them and retreated back into the tent.
