[And because Nero is prone to finding injured girls here, it was only natural for him to be in the field at the exact time of Tohru's arrival. He first notices the hovering scarecrows, but as soon as one shifts he notices her unconscious form, and then soon after the pooling blood.

Jumping to conclusions, like usual, the silver haired teen rushes forward with his blade out and cleaves through one effortlessly with an angry roar. The other scarecrows are quick to retreat, and he doesn't follow. Instead, he leans down and places two fingers from his left hand to her neck to feel for a pulse.

Oh good, she's alive...]

Now what...?

[The fingers linger as he stares, dumbfounded. Should he move her, dress the wound, call for help? He has no idea.]

[onigiri_itsumo]

[Tohru whimpers suddenly, her breathing shallow. She's losing a lot of blood the longer she stays on the ground.]

[partlyblackened]

[At the whimper, his body jerks into action, almost as if it's moving on instinct. He uses his claws to tear strips of fabric from his jacket, favourite jacket no less, and begins tying them around the visible wounds.

After several pieces are tied tightly around her right arm, he moves a hand gingerly under her neck. He gently lifts her head to secure another makeshift bandage or two there as well.]

[onigiri_itsumo]

[She can hear faint sounds of something being ripped. She can also felt the slight pressure on her skin when her wounds were being dressed. Who would be kind enough to go out of their way to help her like this.]

[Lets out a sigh.] Thank you...

[partlyblackened]

Don't thank me yet...

[He says that somewhat flippantly, like usual making light of a grave situation. He knows though that this is serious, but he needs the flippancy to reassure himself. Having her blood on his hands is bad enough, he doesn't even want to consider that she may not possibly last much longer.]

I'm going to lift you now, that alright?

[He leans down further, securing once arm around her shoulders and one under her knees. He'll lift after confirmation.]

[onigiri_itsumo]

Mm... Yes.

[She winces, letting out another soft moan of pain. She wasn't out of the woods yet.]

[partlyblackened]

[No, she wasn't. He's certainly trying his best here, though. He lifts as carefully as he can, bridal style. All those little moans of pain are just tugging at his heart strings. This sucks.]

Just hang on, I'm taking you to a doctor.

[And he starts briskly walking, since running in this case is a no no.]

[onigiri_itsumo]

[Tohru makes a sound in affirmative, letting her eyes close. She wishes that she had more strength. The girl pictures her mother in hand, smiling and telling her everything will be all right.

Everything... will be all right.]
