Exhaustion [Encounter]

I'm tired.

Kaida didn't know what was up with her, besides the fact she had fought a Digimon and kept a kid from bleeding out too much, honestly, she didn't know why she was so tired!

She was curled in some non-descript part of the back alleys and darkness, a jacket pulled around her as a makeshift blanket. A backpack lay under her head, it was more pleasant sleeping like this than she thought (or so she told herself after a full year of crawling to the alleys for "safety") but her body still ached to just go home, her heart ached to show Jorgie to her parents, her mind rebelled and chained these thoughts down...this was survival.

Jorgie was curled on her chest, and she could tell he was also having difficulty with sleeping, jerking his head to peer at her own open eyes. Finally, a voice, "I taste blood." Kaida sighed, and promptly gave up on sleeping tonight, pressing her back to the wall and putting herself in a sitting position, "I smell it." She breathed out, stupid kid, keeping her up.

Suddenly, she stood up, catching Jorgie and putting him on her shoulder. Maybe that kid was still there and that's why she couldn't sleep, yeah, that had to be it...and she was going to do something about it...nevermind it wasn't the kid, and she was walking into something that'd likely keep her up the rest of the night...
