STORY (rp snippet) (we made this RP in December lol.. #catchingup )

Team Zdar Trek's POV
Kaisa revelled in the beauty in this day. It had been bright, clear and crisp; the snow crunching pleasantly under Hilas' hooves as the mare climbed the white slopes. The sun had bathed everyone in a light that radiated no heat but served to set a chillingly beautiful, striking stage like something right off a postcard. Such a contrast from the muck and mud in Hungary...
Connor was no different than he had been the entire time... granted, maybe he voiced his complaints slightly less now, but he still wore that sullen, world-weary frown he had sported ever since they sat out from RPS... or maybe it was just his neutral face.. Kaisa always had a hard time deciding that...
She wasn't quite wrong. Connor definitely still found this trek less-than-comfortable but he did make an effort of trying - TRYING -  to complain less. His talk with Kaisa earlier had cleared the air somewhat but he still dearly wished he was anywhere but here in this frozen wasteland. His hand was still patched up and had at least stopped bothering him... the same could not be said of the rest of his body. Every muscle was aching from constantly shielding himself from the cold and from holding his frustration in his shoulders. Well, at least it wasn't much further...
They trekked downhill for a while and into a thicket. The trees stood closer here and blocked out the light of sun which hung low on the horizon... perhaps it would soon be time to set up camp for the evening.

Kaira's POV (KimenLie )
Kaira awoke to the sound of softly crunching snow, still weak and confused by what had happened, however. She had no clue how long she had been lying there already but she wasn't feeling the cold, just the pain. Her vision was still quite dark and blurry and she just wasn't able to think straight. She spotted something what appeared to be a horse, or even more horses ? Slowly she tried to get on her feet, falling over a couple of times before she was finally up. She could have sworn she saw a chestnut horse. Maybe Jäger had returned? She just had to find him and she could at least ride to find help. So she tried to yell Jäger's name, it wasn't very loud since she didn't have the power to but atleast she tried. A horse should be able to hear that, right ? But once she tried to take a few steps towards the moving blurr in the distance she simply collapsed to the ground again since it caused the pain to get worse. Sliding down hill yet a bit further. Laying there the exact same way she did before. Her arm still on her stomach, her one good eye kept following that horse untill she started fainting. This time she tried her best to stay awake. But she could not. " Note to self.. don't..move. "  she whispered before everything went black once again

Team Zdar Trek's POV

Hilas heard her. The red mare picked up her ears and turned her head in the direction from whence the strange, shrill sound had come. Kaisa halted as a result; silent.
,,Trouble?" Connor asked and pulled up Igni  next to her.
,,Shh!"
Silence.
Connor watched Kaisa's face for any reaction. He lifted an eyebrow questioningly. "???"
,,Hilas heard something. Did Igni?"
Connor shot a glance to the muscled, red neck in front of him.
,,Don't think so. Put I wouldn't put too much trust in Igni's hearing. Cavalry horse, I mean..."
It was something he had observed over the last few hours. A horse like Igni was used to grenades going off close by... no doubt the stallion's hearing had been dulled over the years.
Meanwhile Hilas still stood vigilant; head turned intently in a distinct direction towards a cluster of trees. Wait.. was that... movement?
,,What's that dark spot between the trees?" Connor asked with a squint.
,,Can't really make it out." Kaisa stated. ,,Let's go have a closer look."
,,Keep your rifle at hand--"
,,You're so paranoid.
Kaisa steered Hilas closer. The dark spot eventually began to take shape.
,,I think it's a person."
,,Someone we know?"
...Oh yes. Kaisa had a growing suspicion.
,,I think that's Kaira --"
,,What?!" a distinct streak of worry in Connor's voice. He urged Igni into a trot to get there faster and practically bolted from the saddle when he was close. He was kneeling in the snow next to Kaira's limp form when Kaisa got there too. ,,Oh god. Kaira, wake up --" he urged her and tapped her cheek a few times to wake her up. Kaisa furrowed her brows with worry:
,,Is she breathing?"


Kaira's POV (KimenLie )
"Oh god. Kaira, wake up." The sentence slowly repeated in her head. It felt like it was so far away until she felt something on her face which was kinda annoying to her. But it did do the trick for and woke her up. Slowly opening her eyes with a rather difficult sounding moan leaving her mouth. Still not seeing very much but she managed to grin oh so slightly as she tried to get up again. Still trying to figure out who were infront of her. A blonde..a girl, she sounded like a girl..and a man. " Ik adem nog..ja .." She looked at Kaisa a bit dull and confused. Did she fall on her head aswell ? She tried to feel if there was any bleeding but couldn't check anyway for everything was one big blurr. Slowly getting more focused everytime she blinked. Realising who were there her eyes widened. Almost as if she got a bucket with cold water thrown all over her. Oh no. How emberrasing. She still couldn't stand on her own and just looked at them both. " Alles gaat go-..I mean.. I am fine. Don't worry. " Did she really believe that ? Nope. But she didn't want to worry them too much. What to do now ?


Team Zdar Trek's POV
Seeing Kaira open her eyes and come to life again washed a wave of relief over Connor.. she was alive and.. mostly coherent. He didn't understand her Dutch and he exchanged a look with Kaisa who was still frowning skeptically down at them. Kaisa did not look convinced that Kaira was 'fine'. Not at all. She knelt down beside Connor and regarded the 'patient' intently.
,,Kaira," she said. ,,Look at my finger."
She held up her index finger; moved it in concentric patterns in front of Kaira's face and assessed how her eyes followed the movement. She let out a satisfied 'hmm'.
,,...what happened?" Connor bid in when Kaisa was done with her neurological examination. ,,Where's your horse?"
He realized he must have picked her partially out of the snow at some point because he was practically cradling her as she lay there. She seemed so oddly fragile and frail in that moment; not at all like she usually was. Something was clearly wrong.


Kaira's POV (KimenLie )
Her head started to hurt when Kaisa asked her to follow the movement of her finger. Her left eye of course not following it at all because it never did. Her right eye also had a bit of trouble but she managed. But she closed her eyes right after to give it some rest. Thinking about what happened. Good question. She slowly opened her eyes again as she looked at him. Having a really hard time remembering something she didn't see in the first place. "I ...fell ? He threw me off.. I fell on him, or I think I did ? I..don't know how actually but he kept going when I fell. So..god only knows where that idiot horse went. " She sighed. Of course she was worried about Jäger but she felt so incredibly stupid for falling of. She noticed Connor had lifted her up from the ground a little bit and raised her brow with a weak smile. Just hoping he wasn't planning on moving her much more, scared the pain would return.  "We should look for him... He is not safe roaming around all by himself. " She said that, but didn't even know how. She couldn't even walk. Well at least she was laying in Connors arms..It made it all feel a bit better. Even though she did not want him to see her like this.


Team Zdar Trek's POV
Kaisa was not done with the medical examination yet.
,,Are you in any pain? Feel any nausea? Did you throw up?"
The questions kept coming - Connor was grateful she knew how to keep her head cold in situations like this, because he was entirely unsure what to do.. He wanted to keep Kaira safe.. not sure what to keep her safe FROM, but the way she was huddled in his arms he would be sure to keep her safe from anything. ...or try his damned best.
,,We'll find him, don't worry," he assured her in a hushed voice and stroked her cheek. She felt so cold... it almost shocked him. They had to get her warm somehow.
,,Where's Luciano?" he asked her then. ,,Did you get lost?"


Kaira's POV (KimenLie )
Again she focused on Kaisa, oh dear all the questions. Luckely her head became more calm and clearer and could focus more and more. " Nausea yep. Not anymore luckely.. I didn't throw up however. And the pain.. Well.. I fell on my stomach you see. " She sighed, some knew about that scar. The fact one couldn't even put pressure on it. And now she had the saddle poked right into it. She removed her arm from keeping it warm, lifting up her coat and all the layers underneath to show that damned scar. " Bad luck.. The scar didn't like it very much. "  Again she let out a painful moan as she lowered her clothes. Thinking to herself, well that ain't very charming mmm Connor ? God she felt so stupid. But as soon as he assured her they would find Jäger.. And how he stroke her cheek. She calmed down, Slowly starting to feel the cold again as she was laying still and the pain drifted away for now. " Luciano.. I don't know. He left me, I tried to follow but Jäger thought it was a race and just bolted off. The sun blinded me and now I am here. "  she chuckled weakly. " #1 Mentor am I right ? "

Team Zdar Trek's POV
,,Maybe you hit your head a bit." was Kaisa's conclusion. ,,We'll be keeping an eye on you."
She regarded the old scar with a serious expression and nodded thoughtfully to herself while she pondered it. Connor took in the view as well... it was an impressive scar - a scar like that had to have some history. It didn't resemble a surgery scar, at least; and it intrigued him quite a bit. Maybe he'd ask her about it sometime..
,,Still a better mentor than Kaisa," Connor said with a jovial smirk and Kaisa replied by throwing a handful of snow at him. When the chuckles subsided Connor put on his serious frown again.
,,We should set up camp. Make a fire to keep her warm." he suggested; obviously worried that she Kaira might have been cooled during the time she lay in the snow.
,,I agree." Kaisa said. ,,But not here. If Luciano returns he won't have a chance of finding us in this thicket. We should set up camp at the edge of this patch of trees - then he can see us from a distance and we will still have firewood nearby."
,,Good call." Connor agreed. He sent Kaira a worried smile. ,,Will you be okay if we move you? You don't have to walk; you can hitch a ride with me."
