twenty-five. ✝

[marredgoldfinch]

[he's been in a dazed state since he had to cauterize Amaterasu's arm. her screams rang in his ears, the sight of her shaking in pain and shock replaying over and over again in his head. so it's not surprising that he's walking along a path and doesn't know when his right foot goes to take a step and lands not on the ground, but into emptiness.

[He'd said he healed differently didn't he... But she neither wanted to be a donor, nor could spare the energy to be one. She was already drained from all the injuries.]

Asher, are you okay? No stupid question... Do you need help?

[marredgoldfinch]

[gritting his teeth, he pushes himself up enough to drag his half-leg away from the hole. having fed earlier, he's bleeding profusely, and if he doesn't get help soon, he could actually die]

P-Perhaps.

[fearlessflower]

Just perhaps? I can't give you blood, but I can still heal you...

[marredgoldfinch]

Riku's coming for me...

[dawnward]

[Riku's barely gotten back to his shelter when he hears Asher scream, his head jerking up]

Asher? Asher!

[marredgoldfinch]

R-Riku...

[reaches out for the Sphere, his body actually trembling with shock]

[dawnward]

[a violent curse rips free of him and he's grabbing his coat and pack, charging back out onto the beach]

Where are you? Just describe your surroundings as best you can.

[marredgoldfinch]

[he looks around, and his eyes roll a little]

In the woods... near the beach... about 2 kilometers from the shelter.

[not_that_lockon]

Asher!

Shit! Not again...

[marredgoldfinch]

Lyle?

[looks at him with pained eyes]

[not_that_lockon]

Yeah. Yeah, it's me...

Do you need me to help?

[marredgoldfinch]

[shakes his head, then decides that was a dumb idea and stills]

N-no... Riku's coming...
