A cur--

[Oh. Oh, Light. Oh Light what the hell is going on--With each noise, Demyx cringes and makes a soft 'ouch' when everything finally stops. And then quietly;]

...Stein? Uh... You okay, dude?

[there is nothing in reply but the sound of surf and a soft, wheezing cough.]

Fuuuuuuuck, that can't be good...

[Oh man what does he do--what if he dies? What if Lea finds him like this? What if Stein is actually dead? Okay, he really shouldn't be thinking about this right now because this is important. Dear Me, Calm yo tits, love Demyx.]

Stein--Uh, shit... Stein, if you can hear me, I-I'll be right up there, okay? It's Demyx--Lea'll wring your neck so hard your head'll pop off if you croak, okay? Or my neck.

[another low wheeze, and Stein's hoarse voice, tinged by pain and breathlessness:]

So Lea hasn't left, huh. That's good.

[a very unhealthy sounding cough-wheeze-hack hybrid.]

It's been a long time since I've seen him.

Trust me, if he left this entire city would know the second I found out.

[Okay, fuck being calm. That cough sounded bad. One portal and an elevator ride later, Demyx dashes out onto the beach.]

Oi! Stein! Stein, you better still be alive, you dumbass--!

I'm alive.

[he glances up at Demyx from the beach, sand sticking to his face where it's wet with water, sweat and blood.]

But she's still in the water. You might not want to get closer.

Can it, old man.

[Yep, just going to kind of slip into his No Fucks Given mode and crouch down at Stein's side, conjuring a small ball of water to wipe the blood away from his face with a grimace.]

Did you even try fighting back? You look like crap.

[gosh, who knew Demyx was an old mother hen? he automatically jerks his face away, frowning.]

I'm fine. I can fix it later.

[wheeeze.]

It surprised me. Twice.

[He blames Myde. And hearts. And Lea. And living with Xigbar. But mostly Myde.]

Yeah, later. Y'might croak later, too. Just quit movin', alright?

[He pauses to concentrate on gathering a light Cure spell in his other hand, but makes no move to touch him. Not yet, anyways.]

Surprise you once, shame on it. Surprise you twice, shame on you. ...Where's it hurt the most? I can't really do much if bones're busted but I can at least stop some of the bleeding.

[wince.]

..I think my ribs are broken. And my left lung is punctured.

[he shakes his head.]

I don't need healed. ..Yet. I can put it all back together later.

[A punctured lung--Well, that just about sends him into Ultra Mother Hen mode.]

Oh for pete's sake, Stein! Do you honestly think you're in any condition to be putting yourself back together? Even I know a punctured lung isn't good! People die from that sort of thing, you know! The hell'm I supposed to do if you die from this, huh? What'm I supposed to tell Lea? 'Oh, I didn't get his ass to the clinic 'cuz he kept saying he can fix it himself'? Nope. I ain't doing it.

[But how does he get him off this beach?]

I'm not going to die.

[sheesh, Demyx, you're acting like this is more than just a painful trifle. sheesh!]

I need supplies. I have a limited amount of time. ...I need Spirit. I can deal with the wound longer if we're resonating..

Stein--

[Okay. Deep breath. Deeeeeep breath.]

Spirit. Resonating. R-Right. ...Right. Like me 'n the other old man back when we had hearts for the week. Okay, Demyx--calm down. Just think straight here, man.

Ugh, fuck--d'ya think if I cast Curaga on your ribs you'd be okay for a little bit longer 'til Spirit can get up here?

Maybe.

..It won't make the bones set incorrectly, will it.

ninthserenade December 25 2011, 01:17:26 UTC
It shouldn't.

[He itches at his scar with his shoulder, brows furrowed. At least, he thinks it shouldn't. When Minato tried to heal him, it fixed up his ribs and everything felt... Well, normal as far as he could tell. It even took some of the pain out of his wrist until it came to Lea bringing him to see Stein months ago.]

Trust me, dude. As far as Cure spells go, I like to think I'm pretty good with 'em.

patchworkdoctor December 27 2011, 19:00:03 UTC
...Okay.

[he's extremely uncomfortable about the idea, but it's better than dying.]

..Will it move the bones out of my lung? Or heal them in the organ?
