45. Steel [Voice/Action]

[the sound of halting, limping steps is coming through the journal. There is a weak cough, and a soft cry as book and body hit the ground]

P-Please...

[that's all she can say as she leans against the outer wall of one of the community buildings. At least she made it back to the village this time. On both wrists and both ankles are the remnants of metal restraints, and a similar band encircles her neck. Blood runs down her face from both temples, from what appear to be identical half-inch holes of some kind, and she holds one arm strangely, not wanting to move it.]

Wh-where's...aah! [another ineffective cough]

[[ooc: Oh dear. The muse is back, and would prefer sane people to help her out a bit, please.]]

*reaches up and lightly brushes her hair away, keeping it out of the blood... he sees the holes and hisses softly, then looks over her for more injuries, somehow keeping his anger at bay*

Let's get these restraints off, yeah? Just hang on... 'm gonna help you...

Daisya.

*she understands that, at least, and lifts one arm a little in an attempt to help him*

*smiles a bit and takes her hand, squeezing it lightly* Hang on. I always wanted to show you this...

Innocence, activate!

*with the Charity Bell hovering near them, Daisya carefully uses resonance to vibrate weak points in the metal until it snaps off*

*makes a soft noise when the metal bands come off, her whole body sort of twitching once before she shuts her eyes and goes still*

There we go...

*deactivates the Bell and gently touches her uninjured arm*

Hey... look at me. Let me see those pretty eyes. We gotta get you someplace that you can rest...

*forces her eyes open just barely, trying to focus on him*

Good girl.

*smiles gently at her*

Mind if I carry you? Are you hurt worse than I can see?

*the look becomes sort of deadpan*

Short.

...

*he just stares for a minute, then starts laughing*

Hey! Don't underestimate me 'cause I'm short!

Mm.

*her eyes flutter closed again, her breathing becoming more ragged*

Sheena? Hang in there...!

*and we're carrying you now, rather strong for our size thanks to being an Exorcist*

Hang on...

*takes her to his house, which is closer, and gently puts her in one of the spare rooms*

*Sheena's underweight anyway, despite the chest*

...Mm? D-Dais...ya?

*he'll quit moving around once she's settled in bed and her wounds are cleaned, however long that takes him, and he finally sits in a chair next to her and sighs a bit*

Sheena...

*she's breathing hard again, bad drug mixes will do strange things to you*

Wh-where?

My house. You're safe.

*squeezes her uninjured hand gently*

You want some water?

Not...e-ever safe.

*coughing again, that's probably a yes*

*helps her up gently and gives her the water*

Slowly, now...

*manages to drink a little before she has to turn her head away, eyes squeezed shut*

Hurts...

*puts the cup down and goes back to holding her hand*

It's okay... just rest. I'm right here, an' so is Kanda... so if I... that event... he'll be here.

*you get the deadpan look again*

Y-You said...apron.

Thank God he's back to normal now. No more apron.

*he twitches just a bit*

*she twitches again, too, coughing weakly*

Nn...

Just rest. I'll stay right here with you unless the Malnosso yank me away.

*squeezes her hand*

C-can't. If...th-there'll be...

*nightmares of our past*

Don't worry. 'm here for you.
