[A rough tone sounds through, the person sounds very tired and faint in a halting voice that makes him nearly unrecognizable]

...heard yesterday night there were ah... interesting things I managed to avoid... [he chuckles shortly and it catches in his throat, sounding vaguely sick for a moment]

I hope they don't come out tonight... [a moment of

I can help. Where are you, exactly?

[voice]

[heavenly_earth]

I can't say...

...South of SERO's main buildings, perhaps.

[voice]

[angelify]

Hn. I'll fly over that area. Let me know if you see me, okay?

[voice]

[heavenly_earth]

...sure

[angelify]

[Thanks to the advantages of not being stuck in ground traffic, it doesn't take very long for Raphael to reach the area. He's keeping an eye out below him, waiting for some sort of signal.]

[action]

[heavenly_earth]

[There's not much he can do slumped against a building somewhere, but he sees the wings against the darkening sky and later, he'll find it extremely ironic that an angel came to his rescue.

For now though, he tries raising a hand to wave and ends up coughing a few times. Reaching for the 'borrowed' NV, he switches it back on]

..I see white wings.

[action] Oops! I know in most of the icons it's hard to tell, but Raph's just got the one wing. :)

[angelify]

[Without another word, Raphael gracefully lowers himself to the ground. Not wanting to call more attention to himself than he already likely has, he looks around casually for Neji.]

[action] Oooh okay :D

[heavenly_earth]

[He managed to hide himself a little bit, but as Raphael draws closer, it's not difficult to pick out the bit of white clothes in between two buildings. Following the sound of the occasional cough and low, disoriented murmur isn't particularly difficult]

[ACTION FOREVER]

[angelify]

[The angel approaches Neji cautiously, not wanting to cause him any fright.]

You're the person who needed help, right?

[heavenly_earth]

[It's apparent he's not entirely lucid, but he reasons that he's not wearing a lab coat, so this person is fine. There's a faint, near-constant tremor in his limbs that suggests unsteadiness with the occasional ripple of a shiver following through as the night continues to cool]

Yes, if you can.

[angelify]

I can.

[He kneels down, and offers his hand.]

Where do you want to go?

[heavenly_earth]

[Eyes that hand skeptically, but takes it after a moment. He doesn't really have a choice after all, unless he wants to die of course. Hardly an appealing alternative, really.]

Sector 5. [He manages to stand with help, though he's somewhat unsteady on his feet and his vision blurs as a spell of dizziness causes him to sway momentarily] I live north of the orchard.

[angelify]

[Raphael gives a little nod...

... and they're there. No flying. It just happens.]

[heavenly_earth]

[A blink, having fully expected to have to deal with nausea the entire walk or flight there, but he's away from SERO even if it's not exactly right outside his house and it's relief enough]

Thank you. [He rests his weight against the nearest wall, closing his eyes for a few moments as he attempts to pull himself together] I need to rest, but.. if it's at all possible in the future... let me know what I can do.

[angelify]

No need. It's kind of my job.

Do you want me to sit with you for a little while?

[heavenly_earth]

[The smidgen of pride he has left wars with rationality, glancing up ahead so that he can make out the building that promises relief as soon as he crossed the threshold. He takes a few steps toward it and decides that he can make it that far. ...probably.]

It's up to you. I've managed in worse conditions... [But he could probably use the help. It'd be impossible to make anything to eat- let alone keep it down- and so he had every intention of getting in and trying to sleep off most of the discomfort]
