[latenight_moon]

[A new room has appeared with a bottomless floor and floating platforms. Long chains large enough to run across stretch from platform by the door and a spinning block connects the second to a third platform. Allison glances around in confusion and sets her armored gauntlet covered hands on her hips.]

...Why is it every bloody time I come back here

[falltomadness]

[Rhode seems to be absorbed in looking down at the bottomless pit, sitting cross-legged on one of the floating platforms and not noticing Allison and Tyki quite yet.

Or maybe only pretending not to notice.]

[latenight_moon]

[Not the person Allison wants to see right now. At the same time she could help the rather...in pain Noah. For the moment she's wary and nods politely.] Good day, Rhode.

[She looks back at the damaged Tyki with a quiet swallow.]

[falltomadness]

Al~li~son~. [She sing-songed at her in return, an edge to her tone, finally staring at them.

Her gaze snaps to Tyki when she sees the state he's in, but she makes no move towards either of them.]

[latenightmoon]

...Can you take him out of here? He's one of the clan and I doubt he wants an Exorcist hauling him anywhere. [She watches Rhode, her shoulders tensed despite the politeness of her tone.]

[falltomadness]

[Her eyes narrow. She doesn't trust or believe either of them - it's not like she has any reason to.

Seeing Tyki in such pain makes her angry in a way nothing else quite can though.]

One of the clan? He left. There's only one thing we do to traitors. And it wouldn't be putting him out of his misery.

[latenightmoon]

This Tyki isn't the same one from home! [Yes he is but from before, before when she was Allen. She won't say it even as she starts towards Tyki.]

If you won't help I'll do it alone.

[falltomadness]

I think I can tell if he's the same one or not! [A cutting tone now, but there's something strange in her eyes as she finally gets up, hopping from one platform to another until she gets to them.

She tilts her head to see him. He is the same, but not at the same time.

She'd heard of what had been done to him, of course she had. A lot of blood had stained her hands when she had, and in the end she couldn't remember why, pushing it away with everything else that had happened to her family.

But to see him like this...]

[latenightmoon]

I'm sure you can. [She watches Rhode even as she deactivates her weapon and takes out her field medic kit. She clearly doesn't agree with what's been done to him. It makes her angry to see the shoddy stitches and bleeding.

If she had been alive for it, been Allen still - she knew she'd have prevented it somehow. All that can be done is to move forward, and yet it still takes her a moment to cool her anger.]

[falltomadness]

[Rhode would have done anything to prevent it, and yet even she hadn't been able to.

She doesn't really know what to do for him besides hold him, reminiscent of the aftermath of that fight on the Ark all those years ago. Far too late for any kind of revenge besides finishing what they'd started. And she couldn't do that here.]

Tyki.

[latenight_moon]

[Life is cruel and its doubtful either of them like that fact.

While Rhode holds him, she redresses the wounds and properly stitches the injuries closed. Its something and could help with his pain. She eyes the vials of the heavier pain killers then tucks the kit away.]

Rhode, the medics in the medical center can do more for him than we can. ...They can reduce his pain, if we can get him there.

[falltomadness]

[No, she doesn't like it, and isn't at all equipped to deal with it. Not now, at least.

She doesn't interfere with what Allison's doing for once, not even saying anything until she's done.]

I'll take him.

[gildedthorn]

[ coming back into something like consciousness, the woman dressing his wounds is altogether unfamiliar, but Rhode...he recognizes you, with a little half-smile. ]

...shit. This really must be hell.

[latenight_moon]

[She looks up when he speaks and sits back, pushing her hair out of her eyes.]

Alright, I leave him in your hands. [Its hard to let go but, the Noah can take care of him and he'd probably feel more comfortable among them. Despite how torn she feels over the matter.]

[falltomadness]

Maybe it is hell. Hello, Tyki.

[She sees the recognition in his eyes, that half-smile she hadn't received from him in years. She still just looks quiet, not smiling back, supporting him enough so that they'd be able to make their way to the infirmary.

Though she's still considering ending it once and for all.]

[latenightmoon]

Hell is rather mundane then.

[She gets to her feet and readies to get out of the way.]

...Even if nothing we do in this place really works out, I don't want either of you to die.
