[Action]

[Near the edge of town is a small blue-clad heap lying motionless near some bushes. He appears to be rather the worse for wear: in addition to the typical cuts and bruises from a kidnapping, one wing is somewhat mangled, missing a bunch of feathers and bleeding heavily. That's the most obvious injury, though there may be more. He's curled up into a sort of protective ball...]

Yeah. We will. Hang on, okay, Emil?

[and there's even a Corrine to help if he can]

[He makes a small sound of assent.]

[Raine nods, and carefully directs Sheena on how to help her move Emil. It might be a little painful for him, but he'll be fine once he's settled. They'll need to hold him so he doesn't try to roll off, either. Corrine can probably be of more help with that.]

[follows Raine's direction, telling Corrine to help keep him steady as they walk]

Is that okay?

[Even as gentle as they are, the movement still causes him pain and he can't keep himself from yelping a bit whenever they have to step over something.]

Yes, that's fine Sheena.

It'll be fine, Emil... shh.

It doesn't matter how careful we are - even thinking about moving makes busted wings hurt.

[Oh yeah, it's hurting a hell of a lot and keeping him from being able to pass out completely again.]

Nnn...

I'm aware of that, Sheena, but he needs to be taken to the clinic.

[doesn't turn to look at her, but there's something about her tone...]

Don't you think I know that? Let's go.

Stop...

[Right, Raine starts leading the way after they've been set up]

It won't be too far, Emil.

Yeah...we'll go as fast as we can, okay?

Hurts...

I know, and it probably will for a while. Just lay still. [And carrying, carrying him towards the clinic.]

Yeah, it's gonna. When we get there, Stella taught me a trick to help with that. It'll be okay, Emil.

[going as fast as they can, of course]

[There's silence for a moment, and then...]

... put me down.

[Oh no, not that voice...]

We're almost there.

Sorry.

[giving Raine a look at her sudden change in tone]

I said put me down.

Don't be ridiculous.

Uh...am I missing something here?

I don't need the two of you carrying me around like some helpless invalid.

[Sorry, Sheena.]

You don't have the strength to move on your own. And that wing of yours will need to be monitored.

Actually, right now, yeah you do.
