I think he just went to get something. I'm alright really. I've been here for a bit.

[As alright as one would be when they have a good slash across their chest.]

The worst one is getting there. There's two cuts, one through my chest, the second one is the big one. The first one is more serious.

[He moves the towels draped across his chest to help her.]

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie frowns at that, choosing not to pass a comment on it as she shakes her head. But when she kneels down beside him again, she offers a reassuring smile*

Okay, let's get it cleaned up at least. Or...if I try to use my magic, will that work on you? Or will it just make things worse?

*For as crazy and flappy as Selphie can be at times, or most times, she at least is capable of being patient and calm when the situation calls for it*

[reluctantjinrou]

I don't actually know, but it will heal up soon enough I think. Riku did clean them out but I can't really get a good look at them on my back. I know they hurt. A lot.

[booyaka_boom]

I think it'd be best if you sit up. Can you manage that? If not, turn onto your stomach and I'll help clean it up for you.

*She sighs with a frown, shaking her head*

Those cowards, attacking from behind. Aya's back is badly injured too...

[reluctantjinrou]

I'll sit up.

[He places his palms on the deck and pushes himself with trembling arms to a seated position, hissing. The long gash is really a nuisance for this. He leans forward.

The wound on his back is not terribly big, and it is healing slowly.]

The front looks worse, but it's that injury that gave me so much trouble. They went through my lung.

[booyaka_boom]

Sitting up is better. It means at least the air can get to all your wounds.

*She glances at the wound on his back, not making any emotional facial expression, and instead just setting about wetting her cloth, so that she can clean his front and back*

You're much better now? Bet they thought that'd kill you, the bastards... I hate it that they got Kairi. How much more cowardly can they get?

*Despite how angry her words, her voice is soft, her actions gentle*

[reluctantjinrou]

I bet they did think that. I don't know about much better, but I can breathe again at least.

[He pauses and glances at her.]

Kairi?

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie pauses in the gentle dabbing of his back to look at him, her expression solemn. She lowers her eyes, and slowly nods her head*

She got caught in a fight. Aya did what he could. He jumped in to find her but..

*She lowers her head further, sighing heavily*

[reluctantjinrou]

[He's quiet for a moment before exhaling a breath he didn't know he'd been holding.]

Hopefully she will come back to us.

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie gives a small smile as she slowly finishes cleaning him up*

She will. Real soon. And we'll all laugh about how weird this is.

*She wasn't present to see what happened to Aya and Kairi, but she feels the pain of her loss*

Besides, Kairi and I have heen through some pretty rough stuff so..she's a tough cookie.

[reluctantjinrou]

I believe it. Everyone on this crew is fairly impressive.

[Natsuno murmurs this softly. The smaller cut on his chest is closing up properly now. It's probably strange to watch.]

[booyaka_boom]

We sure are!

*For example, Natsuno healing right in front of her eyes, which are slowly widening*

Lookityou!

*It's not funny, but the weirdness of it all makes her giggle*

[reluctantjinrou]

That's not impressive. It would be more impressive if I didn't get stabbed in the first place.

[He rolls his eyes a little bit.]

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie frowns at this and folds the bloodied cloth back into the bowl of warm water*

Just because you're immortal doesn't mean you're invincible. No one came outta that fight unscathed.

[reluctantjinrou]

I know I'm not invincible but...

[He sighs a little bit.]

I couldn't do that much, that's all.

[booyaka_boom]

But you tried, and you did what you could. Why isn't that enough for some people?

*Selphie sighs right back at him, but does her best to manage to look at him kindly. After all, she was being a bit of a hypocrit right now*

[doctor_ozaki]

[Maybe Riku accomplished his mission, or maybe Toshio had decided to go to the Galley to get more supplies for the other wounded, nothing was for sure but it didn't matter.]

[At least not to him, not when he caught sight of the bloodied cloth and the obvious wounds inflicting Natsuno’s back. And from the amount of blood spread across the floor he could guess that even more could be found on his chest.]

What happened?

[But he didn't wait for an answer as he moved forward to see what he could do for the Jinrou.]

[reluctantjinrou]

[Toshio's interruption stops him from retorting at Selphie's remark. He sighs a little. The wound on his back is visibly healing and he moves to lie down again so Toshio can have a look.]

I was stabbed through the back. It went through my lung, but that's healing pretty good right now.

[The small cut on his chest from the first sword and the gash from his right shoulder towards his left hip are what awaits him. Neither cut is actively bleeding at least, although the bigger one seems to be healing slower.]

Still hurts to take deep breaths, but I can breathe again at least.

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie looks up quickly when she hears someone enter, and though she smiles when she sees Toshio, it's apart probably that their conversation wasn't all happiness and light a minute ago.

She glances at Natsuno's wounds, then back into the bowl of bloodied water*

I coulda helped heal - but he says he does it himself.

*Because, of course, she doesn't want it to look as though she's just been sat around not trying to help, and not doing anything*

[doctor_ozaki]

Well, he's not wrong. And it's good to see that you've taken the time to clean out the wounds at least.

[He doesn't know if the shiki could still get infections, but he doesn't really plan to find out. Toshio reaches into his bag and pulls out one of the few things he had brought with him to this world, his stethoscope. He gently places this against Natsuno's chest, checking one lung and then the other and easily detecting the one that was healing. He didn't hear anything that wasn't expected... but there was still the chance that something had gotten into the wound and Natsuno could be healing around it.]

[But if that was the case he would have to wait for Natsuno to speak up about it later on. Instead he checked the open wounds for what he could; making sure nothing was in them.]

They look alright, so nothing should interfere with the process. [He notices that the large gash was healing rather slowly, and glances up at Natsuno, a question coming to his mind.] I could stitch this wound up, but I'm not sure how that will react with your abilities, and the healing could speed up at any point, so I can't really figure out mathematically a good time to take them out.

[reluctantjinrou]

Don't worry about it Selphie, really.

[Natsuno waves his hand a little bit and he doesn't move while Toshio has a listen. He just shakes his head.]

I don't think you should stitch it. I don't know how long it's going to take, but it will heal on its own. It's...it'll just do it.

[It hurts, certainly it does, but it wasn't anything he couldn't bear. It hurt less with each passing moment anyhow.]
