You decide since it's too late to go back to sleep and it's too early for you to be on duty, you decide to go do some laps around the base. You get up and get on your jogging gear, PT belt, Pt shorts, running shoes, a t shirt and head out. You stand outside and start to stretch so you don't pull a muscle, taking extra care to stretch out your healed wound on your left calve, and start jogging around the perimeter of the base. The base in which you are stationed is about four miles if you don't run around the airfield, and you usually run 5 miles and you know that from your room to the squad bay is about half a mile, you figure one lap around the base, to the squad bay and back should be good enough.
You head out on your jog going at a reasonable pace making sure you don't get hit by whatever vehicles might be moving around, your first lap went pretty well as you come up to your living quarters, "now just to the squad bay and back then I'm done" you think to yourself. As you run up to the Squad bay and turn around some one comes jogging out from one of the many crossroads and run right in front of you, you brace yourself for the crash, "Ow" you both say as you collide and fall to the ground. You continue to roll two more times before coming to a stop on your back, " you alright?" you ask to the other runner, "yeah I'm fine" you hear the voice, clearly female. You get up and walk over and help her up, as you pull her up the light reveals her face and you recognize her as Sheila, a kitsune that seems to be locked onto you since you got here one week ago. She was also like you wearing running gear, shorts that showed her red/brown fur on her legs, that changed to black near her feet, but unlike you she wore a sweatshirt instead of a t-shirt.
You noticed she was looking at your legs, more specifically your left calve, "what happened to y-----", "Shrapnel" you reply answering her question before she could finish asking it. "oh, sorry its just that I've seen an injury like that before" she says quietly, "Its alright to ask I'm not going to get upset about you asking." you tell her. "If I may ask, is that the only one?" she inquires, " no I've got one on my right shoulder from a bullet" as you say this you pull back the collar of your shirt to reveal the bullet wound on your shoulder and showed it to her.
She looks at the wound and doesn't say anything, after what feels like hours she finally says "sorry to ask about your injuries" she say with her head bent over, " hey I said its ok and that I'm not mad about you asking, you were curious and so you asked, there's nothing wrong with that." you tell her, and on hearing that she raises her head to look at you. "ok" she says, "ok well I better go take a shower and get dressed before it gets too bright out" you tell her.
You both say you goodbyes and head your separate ways. What now?
