[Minato looks around and limps his way over to a crumbling husk of a building, using his katana as a crutch. He's not even sure how he still has it. Once he gets there he thumps against a wall, sliding down and to the ground again where he sits and waits. He couldn't say for sure where he was exactly, but there seemed to be a common entrance to the outskirts. Hopefully he would be found.]
He gets there only a few minates later, skidding to a halt in front of Minato, and immediately crouches down and looks him in the eye. He looks worried as he tries to calm down a little, but it's hard.
"Can you hear me, Arisato-san? Can you remember a little more?"
Minato shakes his head, trying to clear his mind and focus on the man in front of him. His head wobbles as he tries to steady himself and he looks up, dropping it back and thunking it against the wall, only succeeding in further dizzying himself. He locks eyes with Naoto, though, his grey eyes somewhat dull.
He wonders what happened to the guy, but shakes it off and just nods. He needs to deal with this now.
"Can you walk if I support you?" He figures, being a man himself, that carryign would be a little presumptuous. He could do it, but he prefers to check beforehand. "We should get you to the hospital."
Minato, too, wants to be as thoughtful as possible despite his condition, so he stabs his katana into a crack in the sidewalk and tries to steady himself, slowly pulling his weight up. He stands, wobbling from side to side, watching the other man carefully as he tries to feel out whether or not he's alright to walk.
"I think I'm alright," and with a failed step he confirms that this is total bullshit. His katana clatters to the sidewalk and his small frame tumbles up against the wall, rather than grabbing for Naoto. "--but I could be wrong."
Naoto quickly reaches out and grabs Minato's arm, wanting to keep him upright at least. "It's okay. Just..." He makes Minato lean against the wall again for a second, reaching down to pick up the katana, and hands it over.
"I'll take your other side. The hospital's probably a little far, though. So let's get as far as we can and find shelter somewhere." It's a little awkward in this soupy fog, but he moves his shoulder underneath Minato's arm, wanting to get out of here as fast as possible.
[ All at once, a voice can be heard! Not from the communicators. It's Fuuka, using her Persona, speaking telepathically-ish. For Minato's reference, she sounds a bit more static/distorted than usual, as for Naoto: Hey, 'sup. ]
I've found you.
[ She falls silent for a moment. ] Minato-kun... I could try to use Juno to heal you...
Minato looks up sharply at the sound of Fuuka's voice. Well that was familiar... He looks up, listening to her speak and noting the distortion. That wasn't.
"Fuuka-chan! ...What's the matter? You're not coming in very clear." Once Minato finally gets back to what he was doing, he slips an arm around Naoto to balance himself while the other helps him get his bearings. He appreciated his help, and actually didn't mind the closeness of being held steady. (Or carried, if he had to, but let's avoid bringing that up.)
"Fuuka-chan, if something is wrong to make you come through this way, maybe you shouldn't heal me..."
Naoto tries not to jump too high when a voice pops up in his head, trying to keep Minato steady. The other man doesn't seem too confused by this occurance, but Naoto sure is.
Minato seems to have it under control, though, and he doesn't want to disturb him and... whoever is speaking at them.
