Imani stayed quiet. At least until Shetani said thank you. Ever so quietly, Imani said, "It's no problem at all, Shetani." Her eyes watched the ground. Even if she was tired of saying those words, they fell from her lips habitually, "I'm sorry, for my actions. For everything. I wish I could explain, but we can't."
She smiled lightly and glanced over at Shetani. "You seem excited to deliver it." With the same weak and tentative voice, she said, "on our walk, we could search for him..." Fear shot through her, but she decided that her sister could keep her safe.

"We can," the matriarch said with a nod. Then she glanced over at her sister again. "Do you want to come with me though? I just thought about looking for him later." Shetani smiled again and maybe went to walk passed her sister, rushing on ahead again. "If you're coming, let's go. We have to hurry because I don't know if he's still here or if he's going to stay in the caves for a bit." Oh Shetani, so excited to find him. But at the same time, she worried about him. Was there a possibility that he could be caught? What would happen then? But regardless, she started walking away from Imani to start looking for him.

Imani trailed after her, shaking lightly at the prospect of looking for a man. "A-As long as... he stays away from... me." She whispered, her eyes falling to the ground. She wondered why her sister looked so excited, but it made her lips quirk up slightly. "Do you like this man?" She fought her voice from shaking and tried to make her mental standing stable. "Wh-What's his name?"
(Where should they find Amadi?)

"His name's Amadi," Shetani said with a nod as she continued to walk along the path, leaving the oasis behind her. "And do I like him? I guess.. He did save me so I'm grateful towards him." But what Imani said first made curiosity pool over the younger sister, so much so that she couldn't help but glance back at Imani. Didn't her sister used to be fierce? Why would meeting Amadi bother her so much? "Don't worry about him," the matriarch said softly, perhaps offering a light smirk. "I don't think he'd try anything bad." But then again, she'd just met him, so how much did she know? Not a lot.
(Maybe.... idk. in some crevasse or something? idk.)

"Amadi." She repeated. Her eyes danced to Shetani, sensing her eyes on her. That wasn't the like she intended, but she let the subject drop. "Nothing to worry about? What is he like? Smelly? Tall, wild? What is his mask?" All her questions were so that she could know this new man and not mistake him for an hallucination. Imani walked behind Shetani, not beside her. Did she deserve to walk beside her sister? Probably not. Imani walked with her eyes to the ground, but her ears open.
In a crevice, if Dina wants, sat Amadi. His blood, if one smelt carefully, could probably be smelt. He had been too busy running from the tribe when he ran out straight into a pair of monsters. He took them out, but not without getting injured. And he saw more. His only choice was to retreat further into the under ground. Amadi closed his eyes, focusing on breathing. Perhaps finally he would be returned to his mother.

Imani’s comment about Amadi smelling made Shetani laugh quietly. “He could be, I don’t know,” she mused. Her gaze pulled away from her sister as she turned to look ahead of her once again. “Yeah, he was tall. As for his mask, I’m not sure..” She paused to think. “I think it was a bird or something, I don’t know…”
(And this next part is optional if Cloudy intended for the blood to be smelled. Ifnotimsorryimsobadthismorningimsorry)
Shetani fell silent for a moment as a strange smell drifted around her. The smell of blood was not foreign to her, but simply unexpected in an area like this. Was someone in trouble? “Do you smell that?” She asked quietly, glancing back without her sister. But like the rash young leader she was, Shetani didn’t wait for an answer. Instead, she took off, following the smell of blood if she could, wondering who the source was.

(Your post is gorgeous, I'm sorry about mine)
Making her sister laugh made Imani feel slightly at ease. She found herself nodding blankly when her sister took off. Panic through her, Impulsive! and she shot after her sister, too afraid to tell her sister to wait. The blood tickled her nose and worry sat heavily on her shoulders. What if Shetani was right? What if one of the monsters got the guard, when it could have been her? If Dina wants, perhaps they can to a slow stop. Perhaps Imani spoke for the purpose of saying something and Shetani already knew when Imani pointed and said, "There."
The words that filled Amadi's mind were certainly colorful when he heard people approaching. Dread filled him. They found him. Which would be better, staying hidden in a crevice and watch them try and pull him out, or surrender? Perhaps they would show some kindness. Ha. That was a joke. Tribes showing kindness? Amadi's muscles shook as he lifted himself up. He crawled into view and collapsed down. "I don't mean harm, please, I'm injured," Amadi whispered, barely lifting his head.
Imani let out a cry in terror and backed away, her body shaking. It took her whole will to not start screaming bloody murder.

There were so many things happening at once that Shetani didn't know who to react to. Amadi appeared, though he was injured and begging not to be hurt and Imani had screamed and backed away. "Quiet," she barked to her sister, but it was a softer tone. "It's alright. This is the one I was telling you about."
Then her gaze dropped to Amadi and she dropped down as well. "I didn't think you'd go far but I guess you decided to go after some more of those monsters, didn't you?" Oh Shetani, this was no time for jokes. But then she thought about how they needed to treat whatever wound he had quickly if it was bleeding. "Amadi, where are you hurt?"
(badddddd)

Amadi looked up with eyes full of relief, "Shetani, it's you.." He let out a painful groan and shifted slightly. "My side, and my leg. My side is worse. I went to leave, but there were more out there." He parted his lips but closed them. His eyes drifted over to Imani who cowered in a small ball, shaking violently. "Who is that?" He spoke as gently as he could. Knowing that the wounds would be treated, he worked on taking off his bloody and ripped clothes. The top part, at least.
Shakily, he freed himself of his shirt and glanced down at his torso. "If I live through this I think I'm going to find a hole and stay in that hole." He murmured, trying his best to breathe. "I've never harmed someone else," Amadi spoke, but he was losing his strength. He didn't want Imani to go running and tell others. "I promise I'm no danger." Imani turned and hid her face, small quiet sobs shaking her shoulders.

"Well, believe me; there's plenty of holes down here to hide in," Shetani mused, smirking lightly. But she remembered she had to help Amadi. "Here, give me your shirt." And, if Cloudy wants and Shetani was able to take his shirt from him, maybe she used the torn fabric to make a temporary tourniquet. If that had been done, then Shetani tried applying pressure to the wound. "And that's my sister, Imani. She helped me fix this up for you." It was then that one hand strayed back and reached for the beads that she had set down for a moment. Maybe she set them close to Amadi before returning her attention back to the wounds. Poor Shetani realized she had nothing with her to help treat the wounds properly and it was obvious she couldn't bring Amadi to the healer. Could I get Imani to run back and steal some supplies for me? But then the image of a monster sneaking up on her sister and attacking halted her thoughts, making the young leader chew on her lip. No, that wouldn't work either..
