I stared at the little girl in front of me, her tiny body quivering in shear fear and helplessness.
"Do you know what exactly happened to your family, sweetheart?" I spoke as I wrapped the bandages around Cassandra's body.
Her wide, fear-filled eyes gazed up at me, her hands quaking as she reached out to gently hug me for comfort.
"Th-They ate them..."
As I thought.
That didn't stop me from caressing the girl's head, and holding her in return.
I felt sorrow and pity for her.
I knew what it was like to see your family go like that.
To see them eaten alive in front of you.
And to know you can do nothing to stop it.
"I'm so sorry, Cassie..." I knelt down to her height, my hands resting gently at her shoulders, "the same happened to my family, you're not alone, alright?"
In return, she wrapped her fragile arms around me, her frame slowly returning to normal from the previous quivering.
I stood up, picking her up while keeping her propped up on my hip. Turning, I watched as Drake entered the tent, his eyes showing a bit of concern for the girl.
"She alright?" His voice was gruff and deep as usual, his eyes narrowed as he waited for the information.
"Doing great. She must've hurt herself as she was climbing up the tree, it doesn't look like a bite," I turned my head to the girl, showing a gentle smile, "you're safe now." I felt my heart warm up as the fragile, tiny girl smiled back at me, before resting her head on my shoulder.
I turned back to Drake to see him with a faint smirk adorning his face. He scoffed, chuckling afterward, "well I see you two got comfortable quickly."
I just grinned in return, holding Cassandra closer to me while being careful to avoid her wound.
"Can you hold her for a second? I have to grab a few things for her."
I noticed a look that said, "oh don't you fucking dare" as I handed her over to him.
"Why can't I put her down?"
"Her leg. It may get worse if she walks on it for now."
I glanced over my shoulder at Drake as I walked over to the makeshift cabinet, digging through it for pills.
A scowl stayed planted to his face, making me smirk lightly in triumph.
Been waiting to do that.
I grabbed what I needed, but I didn't go back.
No.
Not just yet.
I was going to see how this would play out.
I watched as the two seemed to lock in a staring contest, both of them without the intention of losing. After a few moments more, Cassie suddenly blew at Drake's eyes, causing him to blink. A frown quickly took over his face as I saw him whisper, "you cheated." In reply, Cassie simply 'booped' Drake's nose, making his frown die down.
He was trying not to smile.
The sight made my heart flutter, a smile of my own appearing before I stood up and made my way over to the two. They both snapped their heads to me, a neutral expression appearing on Drake.
"Here."
He handed Cassie over to me, myself happily obliging as I grinned at the little girl.
"You two are adorable."
Drake's face quickly filled with horror, his eyes narrowing.
"I. Am not. Adorable."
I nearly laughed at the words, turning to Cassie to whisper something in her ear. Turning back to Drake, we both reached out and 'booped' Drake's nose, a knowing grin replacing my other one.
"Adorable."

Possible RP ideas for my char (Char = Character) and other char's in my group RP
FantasyNo, once again, this is not an RP for you. Simply a book that I can share with my fellow RP'ers in our own little group RP. However, these are only ideas, they will, most likely, not even be used.
