She watches getting revived from top to bottom on a new limb at Fro that sees to run at her once more.

"Nothing matters anymore..... AFTER THIS I'LL JUST-!"

Suddenly, she's brought into a cover as someone held her from behind, protectively using their own body to save her.

"SHIT!" She hears a familiar voice filled with fear, but his head leaned to the back of her shoulder and his hold tight of desperation to live...

"......Cardin...?" Her tone breaks as she begins to shake

They both were...

"..car...din...." Fro repeats it as he turns around to see and hear nothing, but for some reason, he jumped right on time to stop whatever was attacking Mathilde

Fro was there. He just couldn't see an IBM that held no intentions towards him.

"It stopped right... HEY! What the hell was that-!?" He stops himself looking straight at Mattie that was just openly crying looking at him

He didn't know what to do but he couldn't bare to see her cry.

"Y-you...you jerk...." Mattie doesn't know why she said that first but Cardin also didn't care as he wipes her tears with his thumb

But most importantly not looking anywhere else respectfully...

Because right now Mathilde was killed too much that she got revived without her clothing....

____________

After a warm bath and some clothes he brought for her, the two went straight to bed no matter if it was too early to be so.

Mathilde hasn't said anything else, and Cardin had to tell her and check up on her if anything went wrong

Even though her actions were slow she was far from relaxed with her mind looking too occupied with thoughts,

Cardin not being a mind reader scares him more of what she is thinking and offered that they would just lay in bed,

No other intent there other than Mathilde really looked like she needed someone to hold her intact or else she could fall apart...

"You don't have to talk... we can stay like this for a while if you want..." He whispers to her as she placed her head down leaned on his arm and her hands to his

Her touch was cold yet soft, but her breathing was scared as if she is forcing herself to relax.

"I had to follow you... you leaving a letter for me left a bad taste on my mouth like you were kidnapped or something... After the things that happened on Beacon, you never really said anything of what you felt but went on..." Cardin says, reminiscing rubbing his warm rough hands on hers too

There was silence then, he thinks of what else to say on why he is here since he knows that she can be occupied with her own head

"The boys came with me though, they can't go anywhere without me and basically forced themselves to tag along... we had a separate room though so you shouldn't worry about them finding us like this..." He smiles looking at her

" Finally, just you and me right?" He tries to lighten things up but notice her habit of holding his hand started being lightly hard on it like shes messaging it.

Just gave Cardin the feeling that he screwed up now that she is lightly taking it out on him in a way that he knows.

He has the questions but he didn't want to push it.
