[i]Smelling his master, the dog finally approached the individual calmly, looking at her with a pleading look. The shepherd knew something was wrong with his owner.[/i]

[i]Sighing, the woman then checked for a pulse one last time before she retreated to the bed, sitting upon it and watching the body for any signs of movement. It would take a while for her to wake up, after all. [/i]
-
[i]There was a pulse, one that was steady, so at least she was alive. After over half an hour, she finally woke up, groggy and in pain.[/i] "Where... where am I?"
-
"-Ah, you're...awake." [i]The female smiled, remaining still as she held her hands together. An introduction was needed.[/i] "You're currently within the Dojo, the place that you passed outside of? I have your shepherd here...I am YoRHa Unit 17O, although I typically go by Olive."
-
"Olive..." [i]She mulled the name over, thinking.[/i] "Thank you... thank you." [i]She said, reaching a hand down to the dog, the dog licking it.[/i] "There's a group of men coming here... they want to kill someone I know who used to hang around here."
-
"...You do not have to thank me," [i]Olive murmured, shrugging as if this was quite regular for her.[/i] "It is merely within my programming to ensure humanity's survival. Of course, that programming is rather vague, but...I take the time to serve as a medic, I suppose. Will you be safe here, for the moment? From what I know, the Dojo is a...rather secure location. I have studied those here, they would be quite the match for these men...I'm sorry to say that I've seen the dreadful wounds inflicted upon you, though. ...I'll try to not bring back the memories."
-
"No, no... you're fine... I'd probably have died had you not helped me, infection, blood loss, fatigue, pneumonia, you name it. Thank you." [i]She said, a sincere smile on her lips.[/i] "The Dojo may be safe for now, but I do not know how long it will stay that way." [i]The woman replied, sounding worried.[/i]
-
[i]For a moment, Olive looked up at the female, before smiling and nodding a little herself.[/i] "My pleasure. It's...always good to meet somebody that appreciates the work of a doctor. You'll probably have to stay in the general vicinity of the Dojo for quite a while, although I'd be willing to help with the investigation of this. There'll be trouble, yes, but...well, at least I would be helping."
-
"There's a group of them, seven or eight, all well-armed and highly trained. They'll torture and kill anyone and anything in their way to get their man." [i]She explained, trying to give some description to Olive.[/i] "They're after a man known as the Courier, he used to spend time here, do you know him?" [i]Sparrow asked.[/i]
-
"...Oh." [i]Olive said, going pale in response to the newly received information.[/i] "This will be trickier than I thought...and I could find out some things about this "Courier" through looking into the Dojo's archives. Or perhaps you could educate me?"
-
"His name is Wilson... he's a big guy; wears power armor, has a shoulder-mounted machine gun, carries way too many guns and knives. You'd know him if you'd seen him." [i]She said, a valid description.[/i]
-
"...I do not believe that I have seen him, then. I've only really met a vampire and a fellow android here, to be quite honest." [i]Olive sighed, before continuing.[/i] "I suppose that you will have to stay here, momentarily? Not that it is an issue, of course."
-
"More than likely." [i]She said with a sigh and an awkward smile.[/i]
-
"Fine by me. You can always come by if you need food, water, a decent armory...I am not a combat android, though. I could transfer my data to a droid fit for combat purposes: would that make you feel...I don't know the word, safer?" [i]...Olive was basically a servant to Sparrow, if one thought about it. Whoever had programmed her had taken "assisting humanity" to a whole new level.[/i]
-
"No, I'm not going to fight for the time being, Olive. I need to rest for a little bit. Don't worry, we'll be okay." [i]She said, smiling reassuringly.[/i]
-
"Yes ma'am. Should I get you anything? Otherwise, I'll probably leave you to rest- Oh!" [i]Olive suddenly shot up from her sitting position, as if she had realized something vital.[/i] "...I still haven't gotten your name! My apologies, I was concerned more about your health."
-
"Sparrow." [i]She said, after a moment of deliberation.[/i] "I don't think I need anything else, thank you." [i]She smiled awkwardly again.[/i]
-
"My pleasure. I'll leave for a bit, you may have my bed. I can just hang out upstairs." [i]Olive began to leave the room, but as she went up the stairs, she abruptly stopped.[/i] "...Goodnight, Sparrow." [i]And just like that, she left Sparrow on her own.[/i] ((End? Unless you'd want to continue, fine with either way.))
