[i]Pan shakes her head.[/i] "Just don't kill him on sight, even if he attacks."
-
"Fine. Won't kill him, but he will not hurt you. At all. If he does, all bets are off."
-
[i]Pan nods to agree.[/i] "Fine, father. Now, we should get some rest."
-
"Preferably not in my room, though. That's kinda blood soaked at the moment. Have to get the cleaners in there. The cleaners are the privates, by the way."
-
"Well, I guess you could sleep in the tree with me."
-
"Kid, I only got one arm. I ain't climbing a tree. Won't be able to."
-
"Then we can sleep at the base of the tree."
-
"Alright. Sounds good to me. God knows I need some damned rest every once in a while. Used to believe in that old song, as it says. Ain't no rat for the wicked. Well, guess I ain't wicked then, am I?"
-
[i]Pan laughs and starts to stand up, a hand on her side.[/i] "Lets go, father."
-
[b]I try to get up with my one arm, but I can't.[/b] "Little help?"
-
[i]Pan helps Grant up and grunts in pain from doing so.[/i] "Th-There we go. Can you walk?"
-
"Yeah. Yeah I can. Arm is hurt, not the legs." [b]I walk with her.[/b]
-
[i]They eventually arrive at a large tree in one of the Dojo courtyards.[/i] "Here we are!"
-
"Heh. Cozy, I guess." [b]I walk over to it, then sit down, and lean against it.[/b]
-
[i]Pan lays down next to Grant and cuddles him.[/i] "Good night, father."
-
"Good night, Pan." [b]I close my eyes. I just want to live to see the next day.[/b]
