Declan Dudley nodded at Fierce Eagle, handed him the sleeping pills, and then silently retreated.
Clutching the packet of medicine, Fierce Eagle's fingers suddenly clenched into a fist. He discarded the sleeping pills and looked down at the woman in his arms, uncertain if she had fallen asleep since she made no movement.
So, he tentatively called out, "Olivia Yost? Are you alright?!"
Katie Hades wasn't asleep; she just didn't feel like moving and wanted to rest against him a bit longer. Hearing the man call her, she let out a low "Hmm" as a response, then closed her eyes again.
"Let me lean on you for a bit longer..." she said in a hoarse voice, tugging at the shirt on his back, and the next second, she was still again.
Fierce Eagle didn't move, his arms tightened, and he kept his gaze lowered on the woman's black hair for a long, long time, until finally, the person in his arms moved. She pushed against his chest, preparing to get up.
