Limetsu took the cloak and put it on, though left the hood down. He made sure to adjust his short ponytail so that it stuck outside of the cloak.
"I..realize it may seem stupid, but the more I distance myself from them the better. For the moment they are distracted, but come night they'll be more ready to come after me again." He muttered, glancing towards the window. The sun was already starting to go down. That wasn't good.
"I am sure that...I will be fine...I would rather not drag others into this...I would not want you getting...attached to me if I were to die," He spoke as if that, and he, were nothing.

Her golden hues watched him some. She didn't like the last bit of what he said. It brought a bit of sadness to her. She didn't know much about him but she didn't want him to die, and the way he said it...
"If.. you really want to leave.. then I hope you will be fine," She sounded sincere. She didn't want him to go out the way he was, but she didn't think she could talk him out of it. She could try to force him but.. she didn't want to do that. She understood what he was saying even if she didn't agree.. and she did want to respect his wishes. At least it had been nice to have a little company...
"If theres anything I can do... to help more, please let me know." She wanted to do what she could.

"I'll be fine..." Limetsu said as he began walking again, though a few steps in he found himself falling.
He managed to catch himself on his hands, but the impact shook through his body and he soon wobbled and collapsed, still concious but in serious pain.

Zylia's eyes widened a bit and she instantly darted forward. Her arms went out to support him quickly as he collapsed, not wannting him to meet the ground entirely.
"No.. you won't," She said in a quiet voice.
She began to lift him, getting him back to the bed weather it was by helping him walk or taking him there herself.

Limetsu tried to resist her help but eventually just gave in.
"I don't see why you care so much about a lone drifter like me..." He mumbled, staring at the ceiling.

"I don't.. really see a reason.. not to care.." She told him quietly. "Isn't it.. a natural resonse to want to help someone?" She felt that it was. She wouldn't just leave someone if they were in need of help and let lay somewhere bleeding, or walk off when they obviously wouldn't make it far without getting into the same situation they were in.
"Your wounds havn't opened or anything, have they?"

"I'm not...sure...don't think so.." Limetsu mumbled to answer the question about his wounds. He felt sleepy again.
"It's just...no one has treated me so...kindly...in many years...so many years..." He muttered, feeling himself begin to drift off.

"Well it looks like you won't be able to really say that anymore after today." She chirped softly with a warm smile. "..Rest a bit."
She put the blanket over him like before, watching him a moment before finding something to keep herself busy.

"Yeah...guess not..." Limetsu mumbled before falling asleep.
He woke up awhile later, he could tell even before opening his eyes that it was night time, the crickets outside chirping loudly.
But that wasn't the noise that caught his attention.
It was the long howl he heard that caused him to jump to his feet.

Zylia was curled up by the window on a small pile of blankets she'd managed to find. There were about three under her, serving as her own bed on the wooden flooor, none her covering her. She'd been in a deep sleep before the howl and the sound of Limetsu getting up.
Her golden eyes opened some and she looked around slightly, wondering what he was doing. Slowly she started to sit up. "..What is it?" The howl hadn't really striked her as odd, there were animals in the woods surounding them.. but it seemed to stir a reaction in Limetsu.

"I should go....and quickly..." Limetsu said, looking around for the quickest exit. His first thought was to break open the window, but he decided against that.
More howls rang out, seeming to surround the small house.

Zylia stood quickly. The howls.. were coming from his previous attackers... She could hear the howls coming from different directions, following the perimeter of the small building.
"They'll probably ambush you if you go outside..."

Limetsu nodded and back against a wall, slumping against it and sighing. He closed his eyes, trying to calm himself down. He hated panicing, he liked staying calm...staying calm...
"They're going to kill me..." He muttered, voice shaking. He seemed like a scared little child compared to the nonchalant attitude earlier. He looked over at Zylia.
"Please...leave...fly away....I can distract them.." He gasped, desperation clear on his face. He didn't want her to die, or to have to see him die.

Zylia moved to an area of the room, grabbing something thick and cylinder-like in shape but only about a foot long before she went to Limetsu. She knelt down, golden eyes studying him a bit. She shook her head. "I can help fight them off.. or I can get you out of here with me. I flew with you before, I can do it again. ..I won't just leave you at their mercy.."

"If possible...I would like to get out of here...I'm in no condition to fight..." Limetsu muttered dejectedly, though his face soon brightened with an idea.
In an instant he had shrunk down from a tall cloaked cat demon, to a small black cat. He jumped and managed to get onto Zylia's shoulder.
If I can keep them from smelling me...they might find that I left with you later...but by then it should be morning... He said, snuggling himself between her neck and shoulder blade while trying to hide himself as best he could.
