You were right, I was wrong, I'm sorry, do you have band aids and coffee or tea or hot milk or hot water I can pay except I can't pay right now because I'm about to faint.
[Just... taking that all in for a second. And then closing his door, letting half a beat pause, and announcing to nobody but the unconscious guy on the floor.]
...One of these days, you motherfuckers are gonna stop takin' advantage of my gentlemanly-ass disposition.
[Right. Let's drag the wounded guy to the couch and bust out the first aid kit. Even if all his healing powers are just internal, he's still a pro at patching people up.]
[He would apologise if he could, but coherency and consciousness are both out the window.
There's quite a few burns and bruises over older, layered torture and fight scars, but not perhaps as many as you would expect from throwing down with Gekkou. After all, the last two are still in hospital, and Rin walked away.]
[Treating burns is the nasty part, from getting his shirt off so he can get a better look at them to cleaning them properly, but he's not terrible at it. Dullahan is only strong against fire, not immune to it, so he's had practice. He gets those covered before he gets to handling any gashes and bruises. Those are comparatively easy, just clean the cuts and wrap them all, and he's on autopilot through most of it.]
[Of course, he's on autopilot because he's trying to use Rin's capabilities and general state of disarray as a gauge of how much of a threat they're facing.]
Sitting up stiffly, trying not to disturb the bandages and immediately starts ranting to himself.]
Why a rhinoceros? Who the hell wakes up in the morning and thinks 'The summation of my psyche, the representation of my true self, is a rhinoceros'? A unicorn, I can grasp. Various mythological creatures are normal. But a rhinoceros? Isn't that just compensating? Do you know how many kinks and fantasies involve rhinoceros-- Well you wouldn't, and don't use the internet for it, seriously--, and yet I've never met someone with that for a persona. It's silly.
Rin, I have a flaming skeleton on a motorcycle. My girlfriend's got a faceless chick made of raven feathers, an' my best friend in highschool had a goddamn fairy princess - and he was more of a delinquent than I was. Personas are fuckin' weird. I wouldn't recommend analyzin' them.
[Watching that coffee brew.] Coffee's gonna take a minute. You wanna borrow some clothes? Yours are pretty much wrecked.
Why a fairy- You know what, I don't actually want to know, except now I do. I liked that coat. I'm going to have to get a new coat, which is three times as annoying as getting my ass kicked, I promise you.
[Going a mile a minute, rapping his fingers against the floor.]
Although not for you because I'm really annoying right now, but I'm sorry, and if it makes you feel better, you can gloat about being right, I'm sure you'd appreciate the opportunity. Although if you expect me to kowtow I won't. I think I'd fall over. Which is less kow-towing and more just not being able to stand.
Also it's this or me going 'Aaaah aaaah aaaah' really loudly because Christ and every other saint you can think of, preferably not in a form of people's mind about to rain destruction down on everything remotely disagreeable, he really did a number on my head.
This city? It sucks. This is almost as bad as that time in Spain, and I don't even talk about that time in Spain. They tried to burn me as a witch.
I'm male, that's not even technically correct.
But I do like the people, especially when they make me coffee.
Touta was weird, man. We were cool, but the dude was all off into this chick, and always moody about shit. I think he had like, somethin' from Shakespeare. Makes enough sense, guy wrote enough about starcrossed lovers to be somethin' Touta would like.
An' shit. I don't know anyone with a saint, an' I don't wanna know anyone with a saint, 'cause everyone I've met with an angel so far's either had a God complex or been so nice ya wanted to puke--
[Goddamnit, now you sort of have him doing it, too.]
...Hold on a sec. "He." This was Gekk's handiwork?
Yesssss, that's why I'm here, I need to fill you in. Not just for the delicious coffee thoughts. I'd fill in one of the others, but the ones who don't hate me would beat me up or yell at me, which isn't even fair.
But can I have the coffee first? I really need caffeine. Unless you can kill everyone in a ten block radius, but please don't. Really.
Th' fuck, Rin. Get in here.

Waking up even if your body really, really wants to stay asleep is a life skill.]
Your thoughts taste like coffee.
[The mind... Might take a little longer.]

[Urgh. No use in being a bad host; let's go put on coffee.]

That's why it's falling over.
