Of course it's okay! What kind of friend would I be if I left you to it on your own?

[adornmental]

...Thanks.

[UGH HIS HEART. Normally this is the part where he'd probably bound closer and try to reach for her hand, but he's Struggling so he just turns to face the direction he'd been heading.]

Sorry about this.

[flaredo]

[ HE'LL GET AN ARM SLUNG OVER HIS SHOULDER ANYWAY. ]

None of that. 'Sorry' is banned.

[adornmental]

[IT MAKES HIM FLINCH gosh Yang!! Not because it hurts, but because he's wary about being this close to other people when he doesn't look his best. It's a struggle...]

You should be careful. I don't wanna ruin your outfit or anything.

[Blood tends to do that...]

[flaredo]

... Believe it or not, I'm actually not that shallow.

[ Flatly. Because Kashuu, please understand you can barf or bleed on her, and it'll be gross, but she won't give you grief for it. ]

[adornmental]

[He doesn't think it's that shallow to be upset about things like that!! Especially since it can diminish someone else's beauty in return and that's just Unforgivable, he doesn't want to be responsible for that.]

—I mean, I know but, y'know...

[Bye, his eloquence. Good bye.]

[flaredo]

I don't know, so quit fussing and just lean on me.

[ SHE WILL STILL BE HOT EVEN IF SHE'S BLED ON. ]

[adornmental]

I can still walk on my own.

[Is what he says, but he still ends up leaning on her a little. Fortunately, his new jacket is pretty thick and he's not bleeding enough for it to soak through the fabric.]

[flaredo]

I know. [ DRY. ] It's why I'm not carrying you.

[adornmental]

[LOOK you sassmageddon... There's a little inelegant snort that's probably laughter.]

I mean, I can walk fine without leaning.

[flaredo]

Hate to break it to you, Kashuu, but you're kind of already leaning.

[ Rather lightly, but still. ]

[adornmental]

Er—

[SHE'S NOT WRONG. He's able to straighten himself out once it's pointed out, at least...]

Sorry. I'm okay, it's just like- ["medium damage" is what he almost says, but that would probably not make much sense and he doesn't actually want to give away that he's hurt, SO:] -some stuff I need to get buffed out.

[flaredo]

Buffed out? Did you get dented?

[ How does this being a human sword thing work again-- ]

[adornmental]

[A PAUSE and then the big dumb hood moves in a nod.]

Yeah, kinda. Some things happened a little too fast for me to keep track of.

[What an apt description of being in battle.]

[flaredo]

... So doesn't that mean you actually need medical attention?

[ KASHUU... ]

[adornmental]

[LOOK HE WAS TRYING TO STEP AROUND IT.]

Um. [?!? Why wasn't he born craftier and better at lying...] Not really... That stuff's for humans.

[flaredo]

Okay, so what works for swords? Do you change back into your pointier self and get nice and hammered?

[ Literally?? SHE'S ACTUALLY QUITE CONCERNED. ]

[adornmental]

[Sword mechanics are weird, okay!!]

I don't have to demanifest or anything! I just give my vessel to Haruji so he can do that, yeah.

[Except instead of being stuck in a fire and hammered, it's more like he's just gently tapped with an uchiko ball...]

[flaredo]

... Got it. So it's a private affair.

[ Tapped instead of hammered. So Haru's a gentle one, huh? ]

Then let's get you to him!

[adornmental]

[The gentlest of saniwas...!

But it seems like she gets it, so he looks up and over for a second on reflex, clearly grateful. Also clearly a bit scratched up, but it's nothing horrific. He's just a whiny baby when it comes to his looks...]

Yeah - okay. ...Thanks again. I really appreciate it.

[flaredo]

What are friends for? At this point, you don't have to thank me for caring!

[adornmental]

But it's still super nice of you, so...

[Trailing off!! The apartment complexes are up ahead, and he sticks a little closer as they cross over into the housing district.]

[flaredo]

Okay, so... which one?

[ They all sort of look the same, after all... ]

[adornmental]

[Pointing toward one that's about halfway down the block!]

That's the one.

[flaredo]

Close enough!

[ C'MON, CASHEW, ALMOST THERE. She'll keep guiding. ]
