Terezi rolls away and the first thing that she realizes is that nothing hurts. There is no spear impaling her side, no blood gushing from any open wounds. She gets up quickly, just as Charlie's body hits the ground.
Everything feels like it's processing in slow motion. There is a body on the ground in front of her. There is an arrow through it's neck. Terezi turns to search for the one who fired it, but all that she finds is Kurloz on his knees and shaking.
She had told him to run. But he came back.
He came back, and he probably saved her life.
There's a moment where Terezi frowns back at the still bleeding body, an uncomfortable feeling in her chest... Then she's hurrying quickly over to Kurloz. She drops to her knees in front of him, reaching for his hands to pull them away from his horns.
"Kurloz, stop. Please... It's okay. I'm here. I'm okay." She pulls his hands down, squeezing them tight before letting go. She lifts them again to touch his face, fingers brushing against his cheeks. Trying to get him to listen to her. "You saved me. It's okay."
