It took his brain a moment to properly understand what was being said, before clarity came even beyond the pain and haze. They were talking about killing him. One was, admittedly, arguing for his safety but even she didn't sound convinced. The other? She seemed more than willing to just go through with it. The arrow in his back didn't seem all that important anymore, and the effects of his head trauma were simply ignored as he began to move. First pushing himself up onto his knees, and then away from both his cage-mates. As far as he could in the small cage at least. Leaving his back against the wall as he tried to keep awake and in focus, watching the two females warily.
A thought crossed his mind, something that could almost have been one of his missing memories, and without quite understanding why he began to laugh. First softly, barely audible, and then louder as if seeing some personal joke. Then he spoke, sarcastic, drawing on what fragments he did remember and understand. It really was kind of funny, in a fatalistic kind of way.
"From one cage to another, with people trying to kill me the entire time. I'm not sure what I did to deserve this, but it must have been something."
Then the laughter died, one hand closing into a loose fist as he watched the two. Not trusting either of them to get close at this point, not after the talk of killing him just because he was injured. At this point, he gave in to the urge in the back of his mind. Digging into his pockets he pulled out the cigarettes and his lighter, opened up the fresh pack, pulled one out, and lit it up. Inhaling deeply, the relief was almost tangible. As if he was fulfilling some need he had forgotten about. Putting both objects away again and leaving the lit cigarette between his lips, Kieran didn't care much on whether his would be killers minded his smoking or that he was smoking in a grass hut. If he might die at any moment, he was going to have a god damn smoke first. Not that he intended to die.
"I'm not dead yet, and that fact is not going to change."
As much as he meant the statement as mere bravado, something to bolster his confidence in this situation, some forgotten part of him felt it was more truth than he knew. There was a certainty to his words that he didn't quite understand. That was for later thought though.
