She giggled quietly at his comment and watched him take off the bandage, tilting her head to the side. As he made a loop for the stitch, she knew what to expect. However, the initial pierce caught her mildly off gaurd, and she shot her hand out, gripping his upper arm. She mumbled an apology and bit her lip to keep from moving her body, and making it even more painful. She knew that he didn’t want to hurt her, but it didn’t make it sting any less, so she allowed her mind to wander for a good while.<br/><br/>His question brought her back to reality and she pondered her response for a moment. She hadn’t spoken about her pre-end of the world life in years, and had planned on keeping it that way. But, in light of the current situation, she decided to dig up those memories to answer him. “Well, I had a picture perfect family. My mom and Dad had been happily married for years, and I had My sister. We lived in a cozy neighborhood and even had a dog, his name was puddles,” she smiles slightly at the memory “and I lived a life that was perfect for me. My dad was an engineer and my mom was a doctor. I studied a lot of medical fields in school, I wanted to be just like her. I had friends that I loved, you know, typical teenager.” She trails off, deciding she may as well give him the details that led to her being alone “my mom died about a year before The Fall, she had cancer. It’s weird, you know? You don’t expect doctors to get sick. After that I pushed myself even further to get a residency, I planned to be a surgeon...guess that didn’t work out. I didn’ t have this event filled, extraordinary life, but it was amazing. I lost my dad a couple years into The Fall and my sister...well, you know. But yeah, that was me. Madison Blake, your average girl, nothing special.” She wipes a tear from her eye quickly, not wanted to show weakness at this given moment. One of the biggest reasons she didn’t bring up her past life is due to the memory of her mom. She was her best friend, and she didn’t like the think about it much, if ever. She looks over to him and studies him for a moment before asking him the same. “What about you? Anything extraordinary about Arc?” She asks with a smile, wincing slightly at the continuous tugs on her skin.
