Chapter 7 - Kosita- A new ally?

I trotted down the stairs from the upper floor where I had slept the night before, ready for an early run. My feet barely made a sound on the wooden floor as I stepped down into the entrance hall. My hand was almost on the doorknob when a small and indistinct noise made me freeze. I turned slowly, looking into the den where it had come from. A gut about my same age was lying on the couch. My guess was that he had come in while I was asleep last night. His right pant leg was torn open just above the knee, revealing a nasty looking gash that was leaking blood all over the upholstery. I poked him on the chest and his eyelids fluttered open. He looked surprised and a little scared when he saw me.
“Who are you, and why are you bleeding all over the couch?” I asked bluntly. He seemed like he wanted to give me a death glare, but was too weak at the moment.
“Could you just stop the bleeding?” He asked, sounding strained. I nodded, he obviously wasn’t planning to attack or anything, so why not? I searched around for a minute and found a needle and a roll of thread.
“This isn’t going to be exactly comfortable,” I said. He gave me a look that said “I’m not exactly comfortable now.” I tied the thread on, and slipped the needle through the skin. He gritted his teeth in pain as I started to stitch the skin together. I was getting a good look at him now; he was about an inch shorter than me, maybe a year younger. He had dark hair that fell over his face. His eyes were yellow, almost an amber color I guess, with dark circles underneath.
Finally I closed up the wound, then, tying the ends of the thread together cut it.
“Thanks,” he said, running a hand over the stitches.
“I would say no problem, but I really don’t want to do that again,” I replied. “So back to my question before, who are you?”
“Kaidok, He answered, you?”
