"Sit still, Tao"  Aún was holding the onyx haired simians arm, wrapping a bandage and some gause around it, Aún hadn't seen Tao in years but he was still the headstrong simian he remembered, always coming home after seven and coming home with scars littering his body. "I would if it didn't hurt so much, Aún!"  That earned Tao a slap on the back if the head, and Aún a whine from Tao in response. "I got thrown against a tree today! You could be a little kinder!" Aún scoffed an apology and continued to wrap up Tao's arm, when he finished he took out a small charcoal pencil and drew a heart on the bandages. "I missed you, you goof" Tao leaned over and hugged Aún. "I missed you too brickhead. It's not so bad to be the one tending to your wounds."
