....Tch. It's not working anymore. Why is it

Damn it.

[ Panting faintly from the not-so-friendly game of tag he and Kanda had been engaging in, Allen pauses to glance around briefly for the swordsman. When Kanda didn't make himself known after several moments the playful grin began to fade as he turns around fully and began to rather swiftly retrace his steps to locate the other Exorcist. Call it gut nerves or a change in the wind, perhaps. ]

Kanda...?

[to_sublimate]

*He doesn't respond he can't, because he's unable to breathe, the chains clanking to the ground before him as he kneels, unable to get to his feet. Old wounds are opening, bleeding, and his tattoo's not working. Was this it, then?*

[antiakuma]

[ Tilting his head sort of curiously before frowning and rather quickly picking up his pace. Kanda wasn't the type to play dirty like that in a fight and Allen knew it as he found himself running over to the other Exorcist. ]

Kanda? Hey, what--?

[ It doesn't take him long to notice the blood, of course, instantly realising their game was over as he kneels down in front of Kanda, hands on his shoulders ]

What happened to you! H-hey!

[ Looking around quickly then with an odd kind of panic he was trying desperately to think of what caused such wounds. Somehow, it seemed familiar in some areas. Was it someone else who Allen had agreed to spar with catching Kanda off guard? The Noah? Or something from the City? ...a curse? It didn't matter. Shifting then, he tried to pull one of Kanda's arms over his shoulders to force him to stand ]

We need to get you back to the main City and to the hospital. Come on.

[to_sublimate]

*He takes a moment to focus, because he's still human, and he's still bleeding the fuck out and he knows he's dying, because no one can sustain combined injuries for this long. Even then, he tries to resist, even when his arm is slung over Allen's shoulders. His vision's dimming, and there's too much blood in his mouth*

...I'm fine.

Barging on in /o/

[oodzuchi]

[ Though most decidedly not having been spying from afar, Rabi manages to catch up with the other two at a heavy sprint, hearing Allen in the eerily-quiet forest. The situation was difficult to grasp-- had someone attacked? Was it that woman he heard lived here? Would beasts be out at this time...? ]

Allen! Yuu! What happened?!

[ The first course of action was stuck between two things-- attempt to stopper the wounds with something, anything-- his coat, a shirt-- or sling the other's arm over his shoulders as well and try to help the hussle. He bites his lip, mind buzzing between his options undecided. ]

[antiakuma]

[ While trying to keep his mind steady the appearance of the other older Exorcist was a decidedly welcome at that point as he lifted his panicked silver-blue eyes toward the red-head ]

I don't know, Rabi. I didn't see anything, he just--

[ Taking a deep breath and closing his eyes for a second, Allen attempts to calm himself. It wouldn't help to let his emotions spiral into distress as he firms his expression ]

We have to get him to the hospital, or to a healer. Anything. Let's go. With these wounds if we don't, he'll...

Another pause, this time to swallow before nodding decisively ]

Let's go.

[to_sublimate]

*Die, Kanda completes silently, even as he dimly notes the appearance and presence of the other Exorcist. It was pathetic, letting them see him this way, and he grits his teeth, finding it increasingly difficult as his strength ebbs away. Was this what it feels like to die, then?*

[oodzuchi]

[ It wouldn't hurt to try, right? To try and stop the blood? Even if it just grants a few more moments. Long enough to get them to the hospital, and he curses uncharacteristically under his breath. If only his Innocence weren't smashed. ]

Lemme just tie this around him-- it'll at least hold the blood in a bit longer.

[ It only took a few seconds to pull off the garment and tie it around the samurai's middle, and he was already pulling Kanda's arm over his shoulders, knees bent slightly to accommodate the other two's height. ]

Which direction?

[antiakuma]

[ Nodding a little, Allen stays oddly quiet, deducing that trying to think about things to say would cause him to become unfocused and make careless mistakes. Things they couldn't really afford at that moment.

Once Rabi was done however, he nods directly ahead ]

That way. Straight forward and we should pass the temple and hotsprings. I think the fastest way to the hospital from there would be to cut between the twelfth building and the back of the Cathedral. And then... Er...

[ He pauses to swallow but his throat felt dry. Keep focused. Come on, where after that... ]

...the Hospital is opposite building one... If we follow the apparent circle around then it should be quicker than cutting between the buildings more to the centre of the Citu.

[ And there was a little twist of something unsure in his stomach, a sort of wavering of confidence. He quickly shoved that down however, this was no time for doubt ]

Yeah. That'll be the most direct route from here.
