[Haine has taken matters into his own hands.  When he found nowhere around that did in fact do piercings or tattoos, he figured any small, sharp object would do.  To be fair, the wings do look pretty badass with the hoops and cuffs and a thin silver chain he found to fill the piercings with.  Most of all, he just wanted to stick the bastards that

[ The last few days, Lightning has been trying to get back to normal... or at least as normal as it's possible to be at all, after she went and got killed in the form of a monster obsessed with negativity. She's tired as hell and obviously hasn't been sleeping well... but has decided finally that today's the day to wander the village. Fresh air, and all that, while the rain's holding off.

... Then she notices the blood, and as awful as she's been lately, that's something she can't just ignore- checking her gunblade first, she follows the splatter, and shortly afterward comes across Haine on the ground, his blood pooling on the ground around him. ]

-- Hey. [ There's no hesitation here, like many people would have to go through first before approaching. Lightning's witnessed plenty of wounded people and beasts, and though she can tell this guy is still alive, she's also guessing from what she can see that might not be true for much longer. ]

[He flinches instinctively when the girl approaches, curling in on his side as his narrowed red eyes focus on her. Who the hell is she supposed to be anyway? Doesn't anyone here know well enough to leave people dying on the streets to their deaths in peace?]

Keep staring, I might do a trick.

[ ... It's his wings. His wings are injured and apparently bleeding out. ]

What happened?

[ She's not fooling around here- if he can talk (in a sarcastic tone even, geez), then that means she can expect him to be well enough to help her help him at least a little. Barring massive objection, she goes to his side, trying to get a better look and bending slightly. ]

[What's with people here? They think no is yes and fuck off is please come closer and by the way, let's be friends. Even with so much blood lost, it doesn't keep it from pounding in his skull as she gets closer. Too close.

His body reacts on its own, pushing away as she nears, even if it means making a fumbling mess of himself as he does so, one of his wings folding awkwardly under him, the other hand reaching with blood-slick fingers for his gun.]

Stay away from me.
