"I'll take a look, by the way, my name is David.""Thanks for doing that, I can't even swim, so,"
David continue smiling, deeply appreciating the thanks.
"It wasn't an issue. I'm sure you would have done the same thing if you could have."
"You think he's, uh, -- He'll be ok? Will any of us, is the least popular question."
David's face turned slightly sour. Losing so much blood and being without oxygen for minutes wasn't good. He knew the boy would die without medical treatment, and there was nothing they could do. He grabbed his shirt from her, slipped it over his head, and said in a hushed tone,
"I don't know."
He went through all the trouble to save him, and knowing he wasn't going to make it made him feel awful. 'Maybe I should have left him out there...would have been easier on everyone,' David thought to himself. But, almost immediately, he snapped out of that train of thought. It wasn't good to have that type of thinking. He dried his damp face with his shirt, returning his gaze to the blonde girl.
"He has a huge thing in his shoulder and won't do anything about it."
David finally brought his eyes to the piece of metal hanging out of the Asian boy's shoulder. It didn't look too serious, or deep, so he thought he would give some relief to the overwhelmed woman.
"I'll take a look," he told her in hushed tone. "By the way, my name is David."
He introduced himself as he walked towards the boy, still waiting for her introduce herself while also tending to the boy's injuries. he approached him slow, with a smirk on his face.
"Can I help with -- that," David said, casually pointing at the jarring metal shard embedded in his shoulder.

"I'm Sonny... Thanks, I'm kind of worried about him," She told him faintly, pensive as he approached the guy whose shoulder was blatantly penetrated. Though her insides still felt wound up and her eyes were a little glossy, she seemed to be visibly calmed now, her shoulders a tad less pinched at her ears and her fingers no longer gripping whatever she could get a hold of. Someone else was in charge now, she was shifting the unspoken authority to him - maybe that wasn't fair, but what could she do? The mass, albeit temporary, confusion had briefly nullified the dull ache in her thigh, but as she began to watch him tend to the stranger she felt it coming back, and that winded feeling washed over her quite obviously.
"If you could tear this off we can bandage it up. You'll need to be ready as soon as I pull it out or I'll bleed to death, I think."
"I can he-"
"I have some bandages here."
Sonny pursued her lips, retracting her offer. Though she inched towards the other two guys just a little bit, she offered a casual nod to the new faces, feeling her gradual at ease fade back into a bit of tension. Lots of people, more lives to worry about - she was sure everyone was just bullshitting themselves right now. "Hi," She managed finally, and inched just a tinge closer to those more familiar, like David. She pulled a strand of hair from her face, sighing as the breeze kicked up - Sun looked tired, things would hit her eventually.
