Who: Ivan &
somarium!
Where: Espoir
Style: I'll gladly follow you!
Status: Open as can be, bb.
If one were to walk through the center plaza of Espoir early in the morning, they might just stumble upon a rather curious sight. No -- curious wasn't the word for it -- unsettling was more apt in describing the situation.

Moving onto his knees, he lifts a hand and holds it out toward the other person, a soft white-blue light appearing as he concentrates on his magic in order to try and hopefully heal up some of the worst wounds visible. There's just silence on his part until a brief moment passes and he glances over and frown a little. )
He-hey, can you hear me?

He attempts to prop himself up on his elbows slowly, remembering that the boy had spoken to him. Not wanting to be rude, he moves to a sitting position, shocked at the relative lack of pain compared to what he should certainly be feeling at the moment.
That, combined with the boy's presence -- not to mention the lack of Jake's presence -- was enough to confuse Ivan completely, and left him extremely on guard.]
Yes, I... how did you do that? Are you a NEXT too? [He pauses.] Either way, it's not safe here. You should escape while you can.

NEXT? ( He sounds and looks visibly confused by the term, blinking once before shaking his head. ) It's magic.
( His smile is a little strained as he says this, finally letting his hand drop as he gives a curious look at the comment concerning their safety. ) Oh, um, no we're safe here. I know this might sound weird, but you're not home anymore.

That must be a really nice power to have. [Much better than his own. Shapeshifting wasn't all that useful in saving people, as evidenced in his utter failure in infiltrating Jake Martinez's lair.] Ah, thanks for helping me.
[At the mention of not being in Sternbild, however, he freezes.]
This isn't Sternbild? How is that possible? I was just there a minute ago.

His Instinct tells him to run forward, it also tells him to worry and not gamble here. Dream, vision, nightmare, concussion, whatever... he wasn't about to risk it, just incase.]
Origami?! [It also tells him to yell. Perhaps her should yell louder?
When he makes it to the boy, he instantly kneels next to him and starts fretting.]
H-hey, Origami. Just stay with me, okay? [He pauses to just watch the kid breath.] That's right... deep breaths.
[That's said more so in reassurance for himself. He questions how to handle this situation. Should he take off his vest and his hat and cushion his head with them? At ( ... )

When he hears the first shout, Ivan stirs the slightest bit, consciousness slowly returning to him. When he feels the man's presence next to him -- hears his voice with much more clarity -- he begins to relax his throbbing muscles. He knows that voice. He trusts that voice. The realisation that he wasn't dead like he had expected to turn out after his encounter with Jake is enough to make him release a shuddering, relief filled sigh ( ... )

When the boy attempts to sit up, Kotetsu places a hand behind his head and his arm around his torso to help. He gently angles the other so he can at least lean against him.]
Careful, careful. [He shakes his head with an annoyed grumble under his breath.] Don't worry about that right now.
[Since there are more important things to worry about. Like the state of the other hero, which was finally starting to make sense in a strange, improbable sort of way. What was Origami talking about? That happened quite a while ago. At least, it did for him.]
Huh? You didn't fail anything, and the city's just fine...
[Well, it should be anyway. Way to place a doubt or two in his head. But when he notices those tears, he pauses and reaches up to brush a few away with his thumb. That's how he'd handle it with his daughter, so that's how he's going to handle it with ( ... )

When the older Hero moves to support his weight, Ivan all but sags against him, the impact of his injuries finally sinking in as the pain comes back in full force. Taking a moment to adjust his position as best he could, he avoids eye contact with the man as he speaks.]
How is that possible? Surely once I was discovered and... [He stops there, not exactly wanting to say 'nearly beaten half to death by Jake Martinez.' He supposed that it might've been possible for the other Heroes to stop Jake after he was defeated, since they were better suited to defend the city anyhow. Even so... a doubt lingers in his mind. He knows that Tiger wouldn't lie about something so vital, but he has to double check to be certain.] This means that you stopped Jake then?
[When Kotetsu reaches out to brush away his tears and offers him a grin, he's not sure if he should feel embarrassed that he had broken down in front of his fellow Hero or relieved that he was ( ... )

His aim's probably not too great at the moment, considering his injuries, but... watch out for those flying projectiles, Clonezart!]

You idiot! Are you trying to kill me!?

Ahh! I'm sorry! I thought you were... someone else... [It's a lame excuse, but it's the truth. As he speaks, Ivan takes in his surroundings, pushing himself up on his elbows for support. This definitely wasn't Jake Martinez' hideout. So the next question is --] Where am I?
