*sound of stumbling footsteps, heavy panting*

Someone help! That guy... he's still out there...

Dammit, I knew we shouldn'ta gone outside! Smart thing to do would be stay inside...

*door opens and closes, then there's a loud thump as two bodies hit the floor*

... got Allen's wing... I couldn't do anythin'! He just... took a hit from my hammer

*RUNS out of her bedroom* Lavi! Allen! ...Oh...

Come on, we'll get Allen into his room.

[emerald_archive]

*looks up at her blearily* Lenalee...

...m'kay.

*struggles off the floor and picks unconscious Allen up again, careful not to touch the wound on his back, then carries him into the room and sits him on the bed, holding him up*

Gotta... get his coat off... n'shirt... *starts tugging on his coat, holding him up with one arm*

[lapis_waltz]

You just hold him, Lavi.

*gently pulls off Allen's coat and shirt, being extra careful around the gash on his back*

I'll be right back. *leaves to get the bandages, which I imagine they left on the floor*

[emerald_archive]

*holds him carefully as Lenalee works, letting Allen's head tip forward to rest on his shoulder* S'probably a good thing you're unconscious... can't imagine how much that's gotta hurt. *his own wings flutter a bit in sympathy* At least... he didn't get both of 'em.

*just holds him, waiting for Lenalee to get back, not noticing the blood dripping down his own arm and soaking into his jacket sleeve* You'll be okay... jus' hang on...

[lapis_waltz]

*comes back in, carrying everything they brought, as well as some water to wash the blood off with*

Lavi, what happened? *carefully sits on the bed with them and starts to work on Allen*

[emerald_archive]

We were jus'... comin' back with all that stuff. Gettin' close to the house... by th' woods. *grabs a cloth and starts trying to clean the blood off Allen's back, his own blood on his hand staining it* Hunter guy... came outta nowhere... ripped off his wing 'fore I could do anythin'... barely got 'way...

*is feeling dizzy and sick and is not quite sure why, tries to shake it off*

[lapis_waltz]

*she looks up at him at the end of that, stopping his hand and looking closer* You're hurt, too! ...Take off your coat.

[emerald_archive]

I am...? *looks down at his arm and notices the cut for the first time, laughs weakly* Huh... guess so. *shakes head* Le's get All'n fixed up first... s'worse...

[lapis_waltz]

I won't be able to do this if you pass out too, Lavi. ...I can't. Set Allen down and take off your coat. ...Please.

[emerald_archive]

M'not gonna pass out. *not terribly sure on that* Might throw up though, s'that okay?

*finally obliges, seeing that Allen's back isn't bleeding too much anymore, and lies him down carefully on his side*

S'not... that bad. *totally lying, and winces as he tugs his jacket off, his torn shirt sleeve shiny and wet with blood*

[lapis_waltz]

Oh, Lavi... Can you get that arm out of your shirt, too? *she hasn't stopped trying to clean up Allen, but all this worry is starting to show on her face*

[emerald_archive]

*tries to move his arm to slide it out, then gives up and simply tears that sleeve off, as it's ruined anyway* There. Heh.

*feels sick again as he looks at the cut, quickly looks away* M'gonna... go get washed off... *stands and stumbles toward the door*

[lapis_waltz]

*wants to follow him, but she can't leave Allen in here like this*

Call if you need help. *has to trust Lavi to take care of himself while she finishes with Allen*

[emerald_archive]

*makes it to the bathroom and has to hold onto the counter for a moment before the room stops spinning* Nnngh...

*gets a towel and wets it in the sink, then presses it hard against the deep cut on his upper arm* Shit... I didn't even notice when I got this... musta been when I was tryin' to get him away from Allen...

*suddenly doubles over and retches into the still-running sink* Good thing I left... she didn't need to see...

[lapis_waltz]

*finishing a slightly messy but workable job of bandaging Allen's back (it's harder by herself) when she hears Lavi in the bathroom. She carefully rests Allen back on his side again, tugging away the bloodstained sheets - they go in a pile on the floor with his shirt and coat - and covering him lightly with a spare. He shows no signs of waking up, but he isn't bleeding anymore and his breathing's steady. He doesn't seem to be injured anywhere else, either*

I'll be right back. *has no idea why she's saying that, but it makes her feel better to do it. She goes quickly to the bathroom, but stays outside it, giving Lavi some space*

[emerald_archive]

*finally finishes being sick, then stumbles back and leans against the wall* No... no... I can't pass out...

*slides down the wall and hits the floor hard, clutching at his arm and trying to stay conscious*
