Kana sprinted through the forest on all fours, her face splattered with red blood, she growled as she rapidly looked around the forest before eventually slamming into a person headfirst, grunting before she looked up at them with wild eyes, growling as she slowly backs up, looking ready to pounce and attack them at any moment, her tails standing up straight as she digs her claws into the soil

Kana glares at him "I don't need your help, human!" she snarls and tries to run past him, only for her injured leg gives way beneath her. She yelps in pain as she falls to the ground.

Kana snarls and tries to scratch at his face when he comes near her. "Stay away from me!" She winces in pain as he touches her leg, but she can't help the aggression flowing through her body.

Kana growls angrily, but doesn't make another attempt to attack him. She stiffens as he touches her leg and she feels the pain so intensely that it makes her entire body tremble. Her eyes squeeze shut tightly, a low animalistic whine escaping from between clenched teeth.

Her eyes fly open when he touches her leg, her heart racing with fear and anger. But even though she wants to run away from him, the pain is too much, and she can't move. She whimpers pitifully, unable to control herself as he fixes her broken leg. Tears stream down her face, mixing with blood and dirt, making trails on her fur. Her body shudders beneath his touch.

Kana's ears flatten against her head as she shies away from his touch, but the pain in her leg is still too intense to ignore. She whimpers softly, her eyes darting around as if looking for an escape route that isn't there. The tears continue to stream down her face unchecked, mixing with blood and dirt as she trembles from head to toe. Her tail thumps weakly against the ground in agitation.

Kana glares at him through tear-filled eyes, her breath coming in ragged gasps as she struggles to control the pain and anger that threaten to overwhelm her. "You human bastard," she hisses, baring her teeth in a snarl. "I don't trust you." Her tails lash back and forth wildly, leaving erratic patterns in the dirt around them.

Kana pants heavily as she looks away from him, her body trembling with effort to control herself and the pain. She doesn't want to admit it, but he's right. Moving too much will only make things worse. Her ears flatten against her head, and she slowly begins to relax under his touch. "Fine... Kana," she growls through gritted teeth, reluctantly giving him her name.

Kana glares at him suspiciously but doesn't try to move away when he picks her up, still feeling too weak and hurt to put up a fight. Her tail thumps against his leg softly as she continues to tremble in his arms. She watches him warily, unsure what to make of this strange human who has suddenly shown concern for her welfare.

Kana slowly begins to relax in his arms as he gently rocks her. The movement soothes some of the pain in her leg, and she finds herself starting to rely on him for comfort despite her better judgment. Her eyes slip shut, and she breathes more easily. It's a strange sensation, being this close to someone who isn't trying to hurt her... Maybe there's still some goodness left in the world after all, even if it comes from someone like him.

But she can't forget why she ran away in the first place. When the time comes, she knows she'll have to leave him behind and find somewhere else where humans aren't a threat... Somewhere far, far away.

Kana looks around warily as he walks towards his home, her ears perked up and tail twitching with unease. Part of her wants to trust him, but another part of her reminds her that humans can't be trusted; they only hurt those who are weaker than them. She holds herself stiffly, bracing for the worst as he brings her closer to whatever lair or den this human calls home.

Her body stiffens at his touch, but she can't help the slight shiver that runs through her. It feels... nice. Warm and comforting. She's never felt this way before with a human; they've always hurt or frightened her. But somehow, with him... it's different. "H-how do I know I can trust you?" she asks softly, her voice barely audible above the sound of their footsteps.

Kana's eyes narrow as she thinks about his question. She trusts no one, not after what they did to her in that facility. But there must be something she can ask for... Something he could do to prove himself to her. "Let me go," she whispers, hardly daring to believe the words have left her mouth. "If you let me go and don't hurt me, maybe I'll think about trusting you."

Her tail twitches nervously behind her as she waits for his response, her heart racing with fear and hope mixed together in a confusing tangle.

Kana eyes him warily as he sets her down on the couch and walks away to sit in a chair. Her body tenses, ready to run if he so much as twitches in her direction. But nothing happens; he doesn't try to touch or harm her. Minutes tick by, and she finds herself beginning to relax slightly. Maybe... just maybe...

Her tail thumps against the couch softly, a small sign of trust given reluctantly but without reservation. She watches him carefully from across the room, taking in every move he makes. It's a tentative trust, easily broken, but for now... it's enough.

She pants softly as she watches him from the couch, her eyes darting back and forth between his hands and his face. She's still on guard, but there's something about the way he carries himself that makes her think... maybe he isn't so bad after all. A tiny part of her wonders what would happen if she were to actually trust him, completely. The thought both thrills and terrifies her in equal measure

Her ears perk up at the offer, and she glances around curiously before looking back at him. "I-I'm not sure..." She hesitates, debating whether or not to trust him enough to eat food he provides. But hunger soon wins out over caution, and her stomach growls loudly, betraying her lack of nourishment in recent days. "Fine," she says finally, her voice firm but shaky. "I'll eat."

Kana hesitates once more, then shrugs her shoulders "Anything... I don't care." She glances down at herself, covered in dirt and blood. "Something clean would be nice," she mutters under her breath. Her tail flicks back and forth nervously as he stands up and goes to the kitchen.

She watches him suspiciously from across the room, unsure what to make of this human's sudden kindness. Maybe... just maybe... there's hope for them after all. But she still can't forget why she ran away in the first place. The fear and the pain are never far behind her eyes, haunting her every move like specters from a nightmare she can't escape.

Kana watches him carefully as he cooks, her eyes flicking between his hands and the stove. She doesn't want to trust him too much, not after everything she's been through... but something about him makes her feel oddly safe. The scent of the steak filling the air only serves to heighten her senses even more; her stomach growls loudly at the delicious smell.

As he places a plate in front of her, she hesitates before reaching out to take it, glancing up at him nervously. "Thank you," she mumbles through a mouthful of food, already forgetting herself as she begins to wolf down the steak and potatoes like an animal. The warmth spreading through her body feels so good; it's been so long since she's felt this way. But she can't help but wonder... where does he go from here?

Her eyes widen in surprise when he doesn't eat his own food, and she almost stops chewing to ask why. But the warmth spreading through her body at the moment makes it hard to think about anything else. Maybe... just maybe, there really are some humans out there who aren't so bad after all.

She finishes off the last bite of steak and potatoes before licking her lips clean, eyeing the empty plate longingly but not daring to ask for more. "Thank you," she murmurs again, feeling oddly grateful towards him despite herself. Her tail thumps softly against the couch in contentment, a sign of gratitude and trust that she would never have given willingly before tonight.

Now all that's left is to see what comes next...
