I hear a knock downstairs and one of the guards lets me know that the medics are here. I look at Seth and I can see his stubbornness coming out.

“Seth, I’ll stay here with her. You’ re a mess. You’re still bleeding all over the place. Get downstairs, let them stitch you up and I’ll be here while they look her over.”

He looks down at himself as if he’s just realized he’s injured. “Cover her. I don’t want them looking at her naked body.”
