Trouble in Paradise (Tag:Squall) (Possible Mature)

Esmeralda woke up a few hours later, slowly making sense of her surroundings and jerking awake as she remembered seeing Squall before she'd been slammed into the wall. She couldn't remember much of anything after that though and she worried about what could have happened to him.

She calmed down when she saw him next to her and smiled softly, wincing as the movement caused pain in the bruise on her face. Esmeralda called out to him, not wanting to wake him, but knowing he'd probably be sore if he stayed in that position much longer, "Hey, wake up a bit will you? You're making me hurt just looking at you," she teased gently.

Esmeralda prevented herself from laughing, remembering the pain it'd caused her ribs earlier, "Hmm, I suppose so," she agreed quietly before noticing the injury on his hand, anger flashed across her face as she looked up at him, "They did that?"

Esmeralda gently gripped his hand as she sighed softly, "Yeah, I suppose I got myself into a real mess this time."

Esmeralda looked over at him, "Did you... Are they... dead?"

Esmeralda nodded as her face hardened, "Good." She would have killed them herself if she could've.

Esmeralda smiled at him, "You've already done plenty. Thank you, for saving me."
