But you said it often, before you were lost, that it's only a day.
Who| Terezi, The Initiate, Charlie
What| Charlie is looking for a victim and finds the Initiate. Terezi doesn't like that very much. Fighting ensues.
Where| Inside The Authority (sporting goods)
When| Week 5
Warnings/Notes| Death
The Authority. It's a weird name for a store, but Terezi is pretty sure that humans have a lot of weird names for a lot of things at this point. The only thing she really cares about is what the Gamemakers put into it. At this late point in the arena, most of the shops have probably been picked over quite a bit, but she's not looking for anything too particular.
She leads the Initiate along to the store, sometimes by hand and sometimes simply by asking him to follow. She's needed more medical supplies since his injury. Fabric for bandages isn't hard to find, but tape is in somewhat shorter supply. She's confidant that there should be some here, though. That's the sort of thing humans keep around athletic equipment, right?
Entering the store, Terezi lets go of the Initiate's hand and begins checking aisle by aisle for anything that she might be able to use. She's only really here for one thing, but it doesn't hurt to stock up more. She does have that mission from Shepard to carry out, after all.

But distantly, he can hear her. She says it's okay. It's not. It's not okay, he disobeyed, he killed a tribute. They're going to take him away, they're going to punish him, they're going to make correctional on his undoings, he shouldn't have done that, he should have let the woman ki--
His wide eyes dart up to her face. He feels her hands there, touching, holding so gentle. Terezi, Terezi. Don't touch tributes, you ain't supposed to touch...
His hands quake all violent as they rise up. He tries for her face and fails. They fall and grip tight on the sleeves she wears. His eyes stay on her as she struggles to pull him out of the consuming current.
Terezi, Terezi. Alive. Saved her. All for her, Terezi. Mutely, he mouths her name.

"I'm here, I'm here," she repeats, as his lips move and she realizes that he's trying to say her name. "It's okay. I promise. You're okay." She keeps up that steady mantra, pressing her forehead against his. She wishes that there was anything else that she could do for him, something to soothe the broken edges that the Capitol left behind when they ruined his mind.
"Thank you, Kurloz. Thank you for doing what you did. You're always..." Her words catch in her throat, feeling like the emotion that she's trying to convey is too large to pass. "You give so much for me. Thank you. I won't let anyone hurt you for this. I promise."
She doesn't know if she can keep that promise... She only knows that she can't let him be taken away from her again, no matter what.

But gratitude, thankfulness. Being all to say like he's any kind of good. Like she can stop any of what is to come, neverminding the punishment what is most certain and sure for this.
It's the kindness what guts him most.
When at last he can, he throws his arms around her proper and stay there until the quiet of his shuddering breath.
