[ a pause. they look up. ]

You are not trying to kill me, are you? State your intentions.

[noirges]

[ shakes head ]

I'm trying to follow through on my word. Get you to safety and help patch up your injury. I'm worried about you. No one should have to deal with being hurt like that.

[rippled]

[ they appear like they are having a difficult internal battle over this. ]

... you can help me walk.

[noirges]

[ okay!

yves will just shift then to help saber back up to their feet, crouching so that their arm can go over his shoulders and take most of the weight off their leg ]

This okay?

[rippled]

[ through metaphorical gritted teeth, ]

Yes...

[noirges]

Just tell me if it hurts.

[ but he'll help bring saber back to wherever you want them to go francy. maybe just their room at the mansion?? ]

Do you remember this place?

[rippled]

[ their room is fine.

they just look blankly around. ]

Am I supposed to...?

[noirges]

It might come back to you later. A lot's really confusing right now.

[ but he'll help saber to their bed and also go to get his bag of supplies ]

Can I see your injuries?

[rippled]

[ sorry it is another moment of them clearly trying to decide on this. ]

... if you try anything suspicious, I have a sword.

[noirges]

[ smiles ]

I know. And if I try anything funny, I agree you should use it on me.

[rippled]

[ well! they will do this before they change their mind. they will take their top layer off... tada. once that's off, it is much more apparent about a lot of the damage.

some stuff look like it's been healed, as in it's bleeding as badly as other stuff or look like it's been healing. but there's also scattered burns, their chest has several slashes that are very actively bleeding, and their arms are also covered in bleeding cuts. their left side also seems to be bleeding a lot.

there's also the leg injury but that is difficult to tell at the moment what that is. the side of their face is also still bleeding. yay. ]

[noirges]

[ okay. well. alright. yves is just going to bring his medical supply bag over and open it so that saber can have their pick of gauze, bandages, what have you ]

... want me to wipe your face? So I can make it easier for you to see.

[rippled]

If you want.

[ they have no idea what some of this shit is actually but at least some of it look obvious by sight... never let me down, sweet bandages... ]

[noirges]

Alright.

[ then yves will do that gingerly, wiping at saber's face with a light hand to remove some of that blood. then going to try to take care of the head injury...

as he continues to try to help with the rest of the injuries: ]

What... hurt you?

[rippled]

[ at closer inspection, the head injury is another large cut. yippee. there also seems to be a lot of bruising, scarring, and what looks like very tiny animal bites all over holds back tears ]

Um... [ they seem to have to think about it. ] A few things. Something exploded at some point.

[noirges]

[ help me,, yves will just gently help with these injuries as much as saber will allow. a careful, gentle touch of someone used to taking care of a variety of ouchies ]

What did...?

[rippled]

I don't know. Someone threw it.

[ they sound unsure. ]

[noirges]

[ you're up so late francy ]

Were you in a battle?

[rippled]

[ pikayay ]

Yes... but that happened before?

[noirges]

What were you fighting?

[rippled]

I don't know. Things?

... myself, at one point.

[noirges]

You were.... in combat against yourself?

[rippled]

Yes, I...

[ they trail off, and then freeze for a second.

and immediately start crying, sorry. they don't make any sound as it happens, and it takes a second for them to even notice. ]

Oh.

[noirges]

[ oH

yves startles for a moment and pauses in his bandaging just so he can reach into his pocket for a handerkchief. his touch is light but he dabs at the tears too ]

Sa—Sorrowglare...?

[rippled]

Saber is fine. Sorry, it's—I just remembered.

[ well. this is mortifying. ]
