Nygozy Kai WIP 4

"You got shot in the eye when you blacked out.  The rest I can tell you later." Nygozy rinsed out the cloth and was about to wipe his face some more when his hand shot out, grabbing her left arm.  She winced and glared at him as his hand wrapped around a bandaged section and he could feel fresh blood soaking through the cloth.

"What happened?  Tell me." He snarled threateningly as he knew an arrow would have done much more than just taken out an eye, unless the bowman was incompetent, or unlucky but he didn't think either was the case.  The woman avoided the answer and he wanted to know why.

"Fine.  When you blacked out an archer shot at you but I was in the way." She slapped his hand but he only looked up at her, "It's a good thing too or it would have gone right into your head."

Kai's good eye narrowed wondering how she got in the way and why she would do such a thing, "Did you get in the way on purpose?"

She shrugged and grimaced, "I caught you when you fell but when I saw the genlock archer aiming at you I tried to get you out of the way and shielded you.  Torture took out the archer.  Now, do you mind if I clean this up again?" She asked pointing at the cloth.

"Why would you risk yourself for a stranger?" Kai asked as he let go of her arm and looked at the blood on his hand.

Nygozy started working on her own wound, "It's who I am and why should I answer your other questions when you will not answer mine?"

"Because I can kill you." He stated calmly, staring at her.

The Dwarf chuckled, "Assassins do that y'know?  I'm guessing your target was in the woods out here, last your employers knew.  Let me guess ... was it someone reknowned who may or may not have been part of fighting the arch demon months back?" Her eyes shone with an unknown mirth and some sadness.

Kai watched her face without understanding at first then realized she had expected someone to come after her, "If you thought I was an assassin who was after you then why did you save me?"

"Maybe I am not the type to just let the Darkspawn kill willy nilly." Nygozy finished applying the salve then bandaging while she spoke then smirked, "Maybe I am a sucker for hard luck victims.  Maybe I had a dream that foretold of your arrival.  Or maybe I don't mind dying.  It could be all the above.  Anyway, you wish to know things so I might as well say:  I couldn't save your eye as I have no healer with me but I was able to save your life.  It has been three days since you fell.  We are in the woods beyond Denerim and I'm here because I have nowhere else I want to be."
