James: 5 [Voice]

[nonmetus]

[the berry is turned on with much effort, fumbling hands trying to hold it. James is rez-sick and can't use his wand, nor apparently keep a good hold on his berry]

Bloody fucking--

Sirius, Remus, one of you had better help me. I'm at--

[the machine falls to the ground, followed with much cursing and the feed cutting]

[By the light of his wand he can see what he's doing. And Sirius does not look happy.]

You're a fucking bloody idiot! What were you thinking going off by yourself with a killer on the loose?

[mortifercanis]

[He stops at the top of the stairs, the light of his wand easy to spot from the bottom where James is.]

Don't get your knickers all twisted up. It wouldn't do to fall down the stairs by rushing. Then we'd have more to worry about then just picking up James' sorry form.

In Person

[nonmetus]

Well I can't bloody carry you. Take your time, the lot of you, but get down here eventually.

It's only slow because of the traps. [And Remus is usually patient but he's already taking steps forward, up beside Sirius]

In Person

[mortifercanis]

[He starts moving again, almost not believing that James is alive down there. Soon he's standing next to James.]

You don't really think we'd leave you down here. I should have just floated you up to us.

In Person

[nonmetus]

I don't trust you not to drop me. Just help me up and I can make it. [It's almost too much energy to raise his arm to ask for help. He feels completely drained, his whole body aching. It's hard to breathe, the wound on his neck not fully healed]

In Person

[pleniluniumet]

[Remus grabs his arm right away, shifting so he's kneeling with an arm sort of around James' back] It's quite a walk back, James; are you sure?

In Person

[mortifercanis]

[Before he reaches for James he gives a wave of his wand, using Episkey to help that cut heal up a little faster - even though it's only half as good as he'd like it to be. Then he tucks his wand into his pocket and leans down to grab James' other free arm and tug it over his shoulders. His free arm curls around his friend's waist and hefts them all up.]

I'll carry him, you light the way Rems.

In Person

[pleniluniumet]

Right. [Remus casts them a worried look, wondering if Sirius can support them both-- then realizes he's being an idiot, of course he can; he's a strong teenaged boy in the prime of his life. They'll be fine. It's not as if James is a deadweight either.

So he lets go, lighting his wand again even though still it's not as bright as he likes, and turns to them, waiting]

I can walk! [James protests, but lets his be picked up, trying to find his feet under himself] I just feel like I've been stabbed in the chest with a dozen sharp butter knives....

In Person

[mortifercanis]

[This is Sirius lifting James. This is also Sirius ignoring those protests and starting up those stairs.] You were mate. Looked like a bloody pin-cushion when we found you.

In Person

[nonmetus]

Sirius! [He tries to get back on his feet, but is having trouble breathing] Sirius, fuck off, mate.

Thanks.

In Person

[mortifercanis]

[He sighs now. It's filled with relief and almost as if he let out all of his concern for the man who was practically his brother.]

You owe me now. Something good. [Really he didn't care about it but at least this way he didn't have to say "you're welcome".]

In Person

[nonmetus]

Yeah alright. [He relaxes, jest letting himself be tugged along] But nothing too ridiculous.

In Person

[mortifercanis]

I'd say you owe me some sort of money but that'd be a waste of a perfectly good favor. [He glances over at James from the corner of his eye that sparkled with mischief.]

In Person

[nonmetus]

How long are you going to keep this hanging over my head? [James looks at him, a little wary, a lot intrigued]
