I wake up extremely sore.  My torso feels like it's on fire.  I open my curtain and am surprised to see dad sitting on the couch reading a book.  I quickly run to the bathroom avoiding eye contact, because if we don't make eye contact I'm not here.

I brush my hair and my teeth and put a bra on before going back out there.  I sit on the couch next to him.

"Hey pip." Dad says ruffling my hair and placing the book down.  "Good job last night."

"Oh thanks... I mean if I wasn't attacked by my species it probably would have been better." I sigh.

"Oh. Are you ok?" He asks examining me.

"My torso hurts really bad..." I say hugging myself.

"Can I look?" He asks gently moving towards me.  I nod and lift my shirt up.  Along my body are a bunch of lines that are now scabs.

"What happened?" He asked.

"The guards got mad because I was in the territory... so they surrounded me and put their spears against my skin.  I think your suit ended up getting me scratched." I laugh airily.

"I'm sorry.  Let's get this cleaned up and head to breakfast." He says standing up.  He gets in my cupboard looking until he returns with a bottle of wine that I have for cooking.

We go to the bathtub and take my shirt off.  Dad scrubs the scabs off and pours the wine onto them to disinfect them.  I'm left bleeding in my bathtub wearing only pajama pants and my bra.

Dad looks through my cupboards and found some gause and puts that on the wounds and wraps it up with a wrap he found in the first aide kit.

I get dressed and we head to breakfast.  A small coffee shop pretty close to the school.  I get a (fav hot drink) and (favorite bagel).  Dad gets black coffee and that's it.  We chat for a bit before I leave for rehearsals, with dad promising to be at my house after to rewrap my wounds.
