Zalia rubbed behind his ears when they drooped. "I know, I don't want to leave either. But we can't let ourselves go hungry." She would turn around like she had before, humming softly while she waited for him to change. When he was all dressed and ready, she'd turn and run over to hug him. Now that she had played around with him in his wolf form, it felt much more natural to be relaxed with him in his human form.

After a moment she stepped back and smiled, her cheeks a little blushed. She took his hand and let him lead the way out. "That was so much fun. We should come back here tomorrow, Bade." She glanced at his neck, seeing if he had put on the necklace. She was still worried that he actually didn't like it.

It hung loosely about his neck, over his shirt. He snaked his arm around her waist as they walked out of the Forest. He led of course, instinctively knowing the direction to walk where the forest would spit them back out toward the park. His hair stood in all directions as it had before and there was a permanent smile on his face.

While exiting the woods, right before the tingling sensation occurred at the border of the dimensions; something moved to their right. IT was hard to notice, but it was as if someone or something had been swiftly exiting the area. Bade only noticed as he was stepping into the shift zone and before he could investigate he was once more in the human realm.

Zalia smiled happily and walked with him, more than content at being cuddled against his side while they walked. She couldn't stop smiling either, and it was great for her to see him so happy. Her body tensed and she noticed that something had moved. It rather concerned her. But suddenly they were pulled back into the normal realm, and she opened her parasol, holding it over her head to shield herself from the sun.

"What would you like to eat, Bade? Maybe we should stop by the grocery store on the way to get some ingredients." She wondered for a moment. What day was it? He had said that he was not going to be going to work for a couple days. She wanted to have more days where they could just go to that forest and have fun.

"Why don't we go out to eat? My treat."
He navigated them through the people populating the park. The day was waning, but people seemed determined to stay out as long as possible, here. They reached the city again after a leisurely stroll.

Karra smiled at his idea. "Okay! I like making food for you, but I don't mind going out to eat. It's nice." She stayed close to him as they pushed through the park, though a group of kids running through pulled her away from him.

And just like that, she was swarmed with people, lost from Bade. "H-hey! Bade!" She couldn't even see his crazy red hair. "Bade!" She was pushed about by people trying to get her out of their way. Finally she just backed against one of the trees. "Bade..." She didn't even want to attempt the crowds alone now.

(I'm back!))

It took him a moment to notice she was swept away and not just lagging. When he turned around he was unable to see her for the throng of people between them. He heard his name from one spot and then from another; she must have been moving. Then there was nothing but the din of the crowds. He pushed this way and that calling her name, staving off the chill of panic trying to sweep over him.

"ZALIA?"

Zalia heard her name and she looked around. "Bade!" Where was he? She couldn't see him. She looked up at the tree for a moment, then grabbed the closest branch and hefted herself up, barely able to do so. She pushed away the leaves. "Bade!" Her eyes scanned for him from above.

There. She saw him. "Bade!!" She waved wildly, letting go of the branch she'd been holding out of the way. That turned out to be not such a good idea. It swung in and smacked her, making her leg go of the branch she was currently sitting on. She started falling, her legs twisting too much to be able to hold on. She cried out as her body held onto nothing but air, and then she hit the ground.

Bade would now be able to find her from the crowd gathered around the tree. People exclaimed about a girl falling from a tree, someone shouted to call nine-one-one.

Zalia herself only heard these sounds as far off noises. Her body was numb with pain, and darkness tugged at the edge of her vision. Someone mentioned how her arm wasn't supposed to bend that way.
Her lips parted, pain filling her lungs instead of air. "Bade.."

The Were was practically throwing people out of his way in order to get to her. He had a frenzied look on his face which may have resulted in a few of those people gaining some claw marks as he shoved them. When he got the crowd to break someone had already called 911 and the EMTS were trying to make their way to Zalia.

He managed to get on the ambulance with them, claiming to be a relative.

Zalia didn't look so good. She'd hit her head pretty bad and her arm was broken between the wrist and the elbow. She was in a lot of pain. Her eyes just barely managed to spot Bade before they closed and she fell unconscious. The ambulance went right to the hospital, and Bade was forced to stay in the waiting room.

After what would probably feel like forever for the poor Were, he was allowed to see her. They had moved her to a room, wanting her to stay overnight just to make sure there was no head trauma. She had her arm in a cast and was sitting on her bed, trying to put her bracelet on with one hand. It wasn't that easy. She had a bandage around her head and a couple bandaids here and there, but the biggest injury seemed to be her arm.

When she saw Bade, her attempts halted. She put the bracelet down on her bed and reached for him with one arm. "Bade!!" She looked like she was about to cry. And that was just what she did. "I'm sorry...I'm sorry it was all my fault, I was trying to find you and I climbed up the tree but I shouldn't have, and I saw you and I waved and it was really stupid because then I fell..." She cried helplessly. "I'm so sorry..!"

He embraced her as soon as he was able, but he had a strange look on his face while she was speaking to him. He felt somewhat weird about the situation, like it was all blown out of proportion so quickly.

"You're alright, don't worry." He disentangled himself from her and put the bracelet around her uninjured wrist.

Zalia hugged him back. She looked at him for a moment with worry. "I know. I just didn't want to upset you. Are you okay?.." She rubbed her eyes. She was always so scared she'd do something wrong.

"I'm okay...I promise." She smiled a little. "I'll be better soon." She was still, however, worried. "Are you alright?.." She touched his cheek hesitantly. He had that strange look on his face and it scared her into thinking she'd done something wrong.

"Zalia, I'm fine," he said. His brows knit together in what might be a confused expression. He felt like she had gotten quite clingy in the last five minutes with all the apologizing and worry. He was a very laid back person generally, but she had him on edge now, like something was going to happen. He seated himself in the visitors chairs.

Zalia nodded a little. "Okay.." She was quiet for a few minutes. "I'm sorry, I guess I have to stay here tonight. But...I promise I'll come back in the morning and make you something good for lunch, okay?" She smiled at him a little. She just wanted things back to the way they were, before she was stupid enough to fall out of a tree.

"I guess it's pretty silly, huh?" she said with a slight chuckle. "Being what I am, and being so clumsy.." She looked around the room for a moment. It was obvious she didn't like it there. She was tense and uncomfortable. "Can we go back tomorrow, Bade? To that special place? It was really fun today." She wanted to talk about anything, anything except for her. She didn't want his pity.

"Yes, we can go back. When you're feeling better." He played with the end of his shirt for a few minutes. Then he cleared his throat to start speaking, but his voice never came. He tried again.

"Listin...Zalia. The situation's changed... You know? You don't have to do stuff for me... You don't have to feel like because you're hurt and have to stay over that you're failing me somehow."

Zalia blushed a little. She stared down at her lap for a moment. "I like doing things for you, though. I like making you meals and seeing how happy you are when you eat them. I know things have changed. I'm your girlfriend now. But I still want to do things for you."

She peeked up at him and smiled softly. "I want to do things for you because I really care about you, Bade." She squirmed a little bit. "I don't want to stay overnight. But I guess I have to."

She just hoped Eve didn't make an appearance.

"That's all fine, just don't make it sound like you're obligated to do those things; you're not. And it make me feel anxious when I feel that you're berating yourself for not getting it done." He sighed and it came out like he'd been holding his breath for a long time.

Zalia smiled. "I'm sorry. I won't make it sound like that anymore." She reached out to touch his hand gently, blushing. "You should go home. It's been a long day. I'm going to get some rest, okay? I promise I'll be back tomorrow." She hesitated for a moment, then leaned in and kissed his cheek. She was blushing brightly when she pulled back.

"You have my number. Call me before they release you and I will come to pick you up." He stood and then bent over her to kiss her forehead. The necklace slid out from under his shirt and brushed against her cheek as he did so.

"Rest up tonight."

Zalia felt so happy just at his kiss to her forehead, and the reminder of the necklace he wore. The one she had gotten him. She smiled at him. "Okay. You too." She let him leave, and then she lay down, going to sleep. She was unhappy being in the hospital, but she knew it'd be better for her to be there just for that one night.

If all things passed calmly, in the morning Bade would be called to come pick her up. If.
