Visiting a Friend (tag Kyla)

[loves_lasses]

Robert didn't know what a 'terminator' was, but it had as much honor as the Bench to be targeting a young woman who'd harmed no one here. He didn't know Leoben well, only as a friend of Laura's, but he was right glad the man had been by to help

Kyla had been expecting Robert, but she still took the time to look through the peep hole to make sure it was him. Of course, it could be someone posing as him, but Kyla was hoping that her luck wasn't so bad as to have to deal with another enemy so soon.

She opened the door with her right hand. Her left shoulder, which had been shot, was bandaged and her arm was in a sling, but the pain meds she had been given helped to make things more bearable. Kyla greeted Robert with a smile.

"You're quick."

"If I'd been truly quick, I'd have been there to help, little cousin." Robert said. He smiled, but the eyes above the smile were troubled as he took in her bandage and sling.

She knew he could fight, but the thought of anyone else around a Terminator that she cared for, scared her, but she kept the fact she was glad he hadn't been around to herself.

Kyla caught his look, glancing to her shoulder for a second before looking back to Robert with a reassuring smile and stepping back to let him come inside. "It's fine, I promise."

The clinic had a lot better equipment and drugs, that was for sure. No need to use horse tranquilizers here.

Her room was kept neat and clean like someone who was in the military, but it was also rather stark. The small items she did have around were unobtrusive. The two most noticeable things there were an old copy of Wizard of Oz that had been thumbed through a lot and her mug that had been clearly dropped and super-glued back together.

Ginger padded quietly behind Kyla to see who it was while Ripper remained lying full length near the window as he was enjoying the breeze from the open window.

Robert, while not looking at the dog, lowered a hand toward it to get sniffed. Robert's own room had looked very similar before he'd gotten married.
