Chapter Text
Keith was sitting in the back of the pod thinking on what he could have done better on the mission. They had lost two blades in the fight while getting back at the pod. As he was thinking he could still feel the wounds on his body, but it was just a dull feeling right now. While he was zoning out in his mind the pod had finally arrived the base of the blades.
He sat there for a minute while the door opened then slowly got out, while being careful of his wounds trying not to show that he was hurt. He nodded at the other blade that exited behind him and continued to walk to his room. When he finally got there after stopping multiple times on his way just to breathe and making his head stop blurring his vision.
As he walked into his bathroom he was meet with a mess of old bloody bandages and dried blood on the floor and all over the sink. He just sighed and began searching for a clean bandage. As he was searching, he couldn’t find a clean one, so he picked the one with the least blood washed it with water and used it to patch up the wounds.
The next day Keith woke up to smelling blood, as he was standing up, he could feel his leg and rib was mostly broken and his vision had black dots all over it. In the bathroom he could see that some of the larger wounds had bleed trough his bandages. He took them of while cleaning all the blood of his body and applying half clean bandages.
After that he made his way to the closet pulled on his marmoran uniform, checked that every bandage was covered and that he seemed okay. As he just had some bruising on his face that sowed, he made his way out of the room while being careful of his leg and ribs.
When walking through, the hallway he used more time than usual to get to the dinner hall in the base, but he also tried to avoid the other blades so least people would see him half limping through the hallway. When he made it to the dinner hall, he quickly picked some food that were standing there sat down in a table at the corner of the hall.
When he was eating, he scanned the area around him for people that he might know or not know. He did see some blades that he had been on missions with but most of the blades he did not know who was. He continued to focus on finishing his meal when he felt a presence in front of him, when looking up he saw the blade named Thace.
As he looked at Thace he remembered that he didn’t give a report yesterday on how the mission did go and he had just gone to bed that night without writing anything. So, he guessed that Thace was here to remind him of sending it in. But he still waited for Thace to say what he was going to say.
While remembering this Thace had sat down in front of him at the table and began to eat his food. Keith was a bit shocked that he was sitting there with him eating but he was more shocked when Antok and Kolivan also sat down at his table. To avoid any trouble, he quickly ate the rest of his food and made a move to stand up but as he was doing that he stepped on his wrong foot and hit the ground with a thump.
As he tried standing up from the ground, he felt something swirling around his waist and pulling him up to the table again. When looking down he saw a tail and realised that Antok had used his tail to pull him up from the ground. As he sat down again, he slowly looked at the others around the table and he could see concern in their face while all looking at him. He blushed at the look and saw down into the table while feeling embarrassed to had fallen like that.
