[Fucking shit, she had forgotten about his bleeding, and anger flares up in her chest again. She should be mad at this woman, but all she feels at her is disbelief. The seamstress apologizes profusely to Cid, telling him that she was simply trying to defend herself, and he says that they need to leave, but Benedikta's feet are rooted.
Sensing the conflict, the seamstress steps around Cid and reaches out to her, her small hands grabbing Benedikta's arm, startling her.
"Please. I promise you that I will be safe here."
She's still not sure whether she can believe it, nor is she sure how to settle this mass of feelings that knot together in the pit of her stomach, but the footsteps are now at the other end of the hall, and it is either leave now or get caught up in another fight. She'd settle for the latter regardless of what they all think, and she thinks she should...
But...
Her eyes land on Cid's hand clutching his side.
There's a large gust of wind that crashes through the corridor, blowing the guards off their feet the moment they come into view. And then another that blasts through the wall, shattering it to create their escape route, and as it dies down, Benedikta's wings unfold. She wraps her arms around Cid and leaps them both out before the guards can catch them, taking them down to his boat that has drifted some ways away from the ship, setting him down carefully on the lounge when they land.
Immediately, she walks away and starts to rummage for his first aid kit that she knows he keeps somewhere on this boat, her wings disappearing as she steps behind the wheel where he'll hear her tossing things aside hastily to find it.]
