From:

[ immediately shrugging off his jacket, offering it to him ]

I—

[ glancing to the buffet table and wincing, down to absinthe's body and wincing again, sucking in a trembling breath ]

—I won't look . . . Thancred-san . . .

From:

crystallinelore

[c. closing his eyes, ears flat.]

I am-- sorry...

[he doesn't know what to do. he's so angry and nauseatingly upset, but he doesn't know how to even try to help without risking making things worse.]

From:

jobchange

[He looks up long enough to accept the jacket at least. He'll be less embarrassed with everything covered up. But still, he's shaking uncontrollably and his breathing is next to hysterical.

He's willing himself to calm down, but he can't.]

Are you both alright?

From:

sancrimony

[ still looking away, anxiously looking to the door and to the corpse next to him and to noah and everywhere but thancred ]

I'm alright. . .

From:

crystallinelore

I am unharmed.

[softly, hand fidgeting with the hem of his shirt for lack of a second arm to fidget with.]

How may we be of help?

From:

jobchange

[He responds to Noah's question with a manic giggle. What can they do...?]

Who knows?

[He feels disgusting and hopeless. What can possibly help with any of this?]

I wanted to protect you. If you are both well, what more could I ask?

From:

sancrimony

[ ccccclenches his jaw, looking down to the corpse for a moment ]

. . . There's a room with a bathing area upstairs, on the top floor. Let's go there.

From:

crystallinelore

[this was to protect them? this was...

that's gonna stick in his head forever.]

...Right.

[standing. offering Thancred his hand.]

From:

jobchange

[He looks at Noah's hand. Then down. Then back at it.

...He laughs again. He's so exhausted and traumatized he's getting giddy.]

I doubt I can stand, at the moment.

[Y'know. Because he got an axe to his leg. The cut below the knee is through the bone!]

From:

sancrimony

I can carry you.

[ . . . once theyyy uhhhh emergency tourniquet the axe probably?

which he's going to go ahead and start tearing up his own clothes to do that. maybe they should get rid of the leg entirely but he's not really sure how that should work ]

From:

crystallinelore

...right. My mistake.

[kneeling again to help with that. thank you sensible lucifel.]

From:

jobchange

You are working too hard on this, when there is a simpler solution.

[He's grateful for the help, really. But he's also in so much pain he's losing it a bit, so he reaches over and pokes Noah in the ear while also saying disturbing things:]

Kill me. Please.

From:

sancrimony

—Thancred-san!

[ it comes out a little harshly, maybe, but not unkind—he's tightening the tourniquet tightly, now ]

Please, don't say something like that!

From:

crystallinelore

[his ear flicks and he pouts at thancred momentarily, then the words actually like

penetrate

and he goes very, very still.]

From:

jobchange

Ah--

[That fucking hurts! And he's used to this kind of hurt, because it's just medical attention and he's a fighter and all. But on an emotional level he is just not equipped to have any more pain inflicted on him, helpful or not!

So he reacts by shuddering and whining, visibly shaken by it and ashamed of himself.]

...Please.

From:

sancrimony

Thancred-san.

[ loud again, a little more for noah to hear than thancred, really ]

You and I, and Noah-san and Izanagi-san, and Suu-san and Aniki and Onee-chan—we will all survive this, alright? Please, hang in there.

. . . I know. . . it's painful right now, but it will heal. ... Please, don't give up just yet.

From:

crystallinelore

[Noah hesitantly, carefully, sets his forehead against Thancred's shoulder.]

Please... please do not.

From:

jobchange

I would be fine. Why bear it when I could get back up in one piece?!

[He is... getting worked up about this. Even with Noah looking so sad, he can't help but be frustrated. He just wants it to stop. He doesn't want to have physical evidence of anything that just happened.]

From:

sancrimony

[ with a shake of his head, to noah: ]

—Noah-san, do you recall where the Dispensary is? There is, I'm sure, painkillers there for Thancred-san.

I'll carry him, but it would be best if we divided our tasks. I don't want Thancred-san to be in more pain than he has to be.

From:

crystallinelore

[normally he'd be able to smell shady behavior off lucifel right about now but he's

honestly so distraught, and so desperate to be able to do something, anything to help...

(honestly in normal circumstances he lets luci be shady anyway, lets him take care of that sort of business, but this would be different, wouldn't it?)

he nods sharply and pulls away.]

I shall be quick.

From:

jobchange

[Thancred just turns and smashes his own face into the side of the buffet table. Not hard, not to hurt himself, just because there's something grounding about the cool metal, and complaining doesn't seem to be working.

He wants to break down sobbing, but he won't. He won't, not in front of his friends, no matter how much his heart hurts.]

From:

sancrimony

[ giving him a relieved sort of smile, before looking back to thancred ]

—ah, that's not good for. . .

[ ok. well. ]

I'm going to be removing the axe, alright?

From:

crystallinelore

[and noah is outtie. have fun.]

From:

jobchange

Mmph.

[Don't tell him what's good for him! He's just going to stay like this and sulk.]

From:

sancrimony

[ only waiting for as long as it takes for the door to shut before he turns to thancred, expression complicated but his gaze and the tone of his voice muted ]

We will have to be quick about this, if we're to finish this before he comes back.
