Whumptober day 22- glass shard, vehicular accident
Ok so these next few days will be very short and simple. Regardless I hope you enjoy this one. I don’t like it but I did want to write Kass and Benji as a focus for once and I love them very much. Also I couldn’t find a place to say in the fic but the glass shard is from a broken bottle BDKSBSKS
Warnings: concussion? Stab wound, blood, mention of selling people.

Kass had been skimming the beach for hours now, trying to find any remnants of Linebeck and Benji. They both went on a boat and disappeared, and seeing how Kass could fly, he immediately scouted ahead, searching for them and praying that they weren’t in any danger. Finally, Kass spotted a broken boat with debris scattered across the beach, and when he got closer, he recognized Linebeck. He landed next to him, noticing that he was unconscious, but he was breathing, thank Hylia. His head was bleeding however, and that worried Kass, so he took Linebeck’s ripped up coat and tied it gently around his bleeding head. He laid him in a more comfortable position and let out a sigh.
“K-Kass…”
The Rito bard spun around and saw Benji underneath the boat, a pained expression on his face.
“Benji! Thank Hylia I found you both!” Kass ran to the musician and tried to lift the boat off of him. Luckily it was small, and Kass was strong, so it wasn’t too difficult to shift it enough for Benji to escape. Benji crawled away, holding his side, and Kass noticed the blood.
“Are you ok Benji?” He landed beside him and looked at his bleeding side. Benji laid on his back and let out a pained breath.
“I-I’m fine… just a little impaled is all.”
Kass gasped. “Why— that is not fine! Let me see.”
Benji lifted his hand off his side and Kass saw a glass shard embedded into it. He cringed and lightly touched it with his talon, causing Benji to hiss in pain.
“Sorry!” Kass quickly apologized, pulling his talon away. He hummed nervously as he watched the wound, trying to figure out what to do. Talon was the one who took care of injuries, Kass never even touched anything to do with that. In Rito village, it was always Saki who dealt with injuries and illnesses, so Kass felt way out of his element.
“Sh-should I pull it out?” He asked stupidly, and Benji only groaned in response. Kass let out a quick breath and brought his wings together. Talon and Saki weren’t here now, so he needed to do something for Benji. “Ok, what do I do…? If I pull this out, you will bleed a lot…”
“I’m already bleeding a lot,” Benji wheezed.
“Ok, but if I leave it in… would an infection happen? Um…. oh no…” Kass groaned, worry for his friend increasing as he scrambled trying to figure out what he should do. He huffed and grabbed the boat, gently resting Benji’s legs against it. He then knelt down next to him and applied pressure to the sides of his wound, trying to stop the bleeding. Benji hissed in pain, but Kass ignored it. He just needed Talon to come soon.
“Breathe for me Benji,” Kass muttered, and he only groaned. “I suppose you haven’t experienced something like this before, hm?”
“N-no… usually when I do, my wife heals me up.”
“Your wife’s a healer?”
“Yeah. She’d make the injury go away in a heartbeat.”
Kass looked at Benji strangely. “She has healing powers? Why, that’s extraordinary! And rare!”
“She’s a… great fairy… n’t very rare…” Benji’s speech became more slurred as he spoke, but Kass was focused on who he was wed to. A great fairy? Kass had never even heard of great fairies getting married to regular Hylians, despite the fact that they were flirtatious with everyone they met. Did that mean that Benji’s son was a half fairy? Is that why he never told anyone about him? Kass made a small gasp as he realized that Benji was delirious enough to spill this secret, and he shook his head, trying to erase it from his mind. Half fairies were exceptionally rare, being sold for a lot on the black market. In Kass’s time, it only got worse with the calamity destroying the organized soldiers Hyrule once had. Half fairies were not protected, and the great fairies didn’t do much for them. It was no wonder why Benji was so worried about his son, not only was he in danger from the puppeteer, but also from greedy and selfish people. He stared at his bloody side, trying to forget about what Benji just told him and tried to focus on his wound.
Kass assumed that if he didn’t have giant wings, that dealing with this would be much easier, but he didn’t stop putting pressure on the wound, wanting to keep Benji from bleeding out.
“Kass?”
The Rito bard looked at his friend, who was staring at him. “Are you alright?” He asked.
“I’m fine… how’s Linebeck? He was with me.”
“He probably has a concussion and is unconscious right now, but I pray that he’ll be alright.”
Benji gave a small smile. “It’ll be ok….”
Kass nodded and focused on his wound while Benji let out a breathy laugh.
“It’ll be ok….”
