[fifth jewel] [video/action for Goldenrod]

[zelretch]

[Rin does not seem to be aware the video is recording currently, since she is turned mostly away from it. It's filming from a place on the ground in the middle of the street in Goldenrod, occasionally moving and flickering as though something is watching from within it as opposed to manning it. Schaffell the Ampharos is out Power Gemming the bugs,

[Suddenly, from nearby:]

TOHSAKA, WATCH OUT!

[Shirou leaps from...somewhere and grabs Rin around the waist. They land on the ground, with Shirou on top of her...just as a Yanma drops an exploding Pineco on Rin's previous position.

But they're still too close. Shirou gets hit by the blast.]

[Rin can't do much but yelp in surprise when he drags her to the ground away from the explosion, not expecting the blast to come from above. Her Pokemon don't have the opportunity to turn around and help, but, well...]

--Shirou!!

[There's a distinct sense of "Don't go getting yourself third-degree burns from recklessness, you moron" in her voice, along with the basic surprise and ever-so-slight touch of panic.]

[Shirou remains on top of her until the explosion dies away. Then he looks up at her. His back looks like a cheese grater had been applied to it.]

Are...are you all right?

[action]

[zelretch]

I'm fine, but...!

[Rin can't see the full extent of his injury from this angle, but she does know that his shirt is mostly burned away at minimum, and that can only be a bad thing. She opens her mouth to say something, but then sighs and lets the pretense of a "you're an idiot, your body is not a shield" speech go for now.]

--Ohh, I'll give you the lecture when we're not in the middle of a battlefield! You're not so hurt you can't walk, at least, are you?

[wontdieifkilled]

Uh...I think my legs are fine, but...I'm gonna need some help...

[action]

[zelretch]

[Oh.

That's a problem, because Rin is still pinned underneath him.

With a show of determination, she starts squirming to try and at least get herself into a position where she can squeeze out from under him somehow. And a brief, gritted mutter of "jeez, of all the times to be heavy..."

Eventually she does manage it, though she winds up having to wriggle out backwards to slide out from under him. After she fixes her clothes and dusts herself off briefly, she does a cursory inspection of the damage to his back and grimaces, grabbing both of his arms in an offer to lend her strength in helping him get on his feet.]

You're gonna need to move your back somehow to get up and walk. I'll help, but it'll still hurt. Not much I can do about that right now.

[wontdieifkilled]

You know me...I can take a little...paiiiiiiingh!

[He's pretty clearly in a lot of pain as he gets back to his feet with Rin's help.]

...Let's...just...get inside...for now...
