SHE KNOWS, AND I KNOW SHE KNOWS // Breakdown

"natus vincere" ✭ asmodeus ── "hey lady, are you okay?" the strangling noises drew his attention - he had been on a night stroll, getting fresh air to clear his head when he heard it. the faintest of sounds that caused him to investigate, padding over slowly, really slowly to see what was happening. someone he didn't recognise, a female, curled in on herself and writhing on the floor. he cursed softly to himself, paws digging up the sand.
he didn't want to touch a stranger woman so lashed his tail helplessly, not bothering telling her to relax. silently struggling and finally deciding he was old enough that it wouldn't seem weird if he tried to help her sit up he put on a face that made him look like he had any idea what he was doing. he briefly remembered showing up for a first-aid course then leaving before things got interesting, but one thing he remembered was to remove sharp objects from the person having a seizure. nothing.

then she seemed to calm down and tried to get up wobbily and he rushed over, propping his shoulder underneath hers to steady her. "hey, you're okay. i'm a friend." announcing he was a friend to some stranger who just woke up after having a seizure might gain him some brownie points, or at least make her not attack him.
