[twenty-third launch - accidental video]

[a_lone_flame]

[ The communicator's view is shown at the ground, but there's shuddering breaths and a small cry of pain. Blood rolls down the screen and when the screen's view is changed, Kai's clothes, a simple white t-shirt and a pair of sweat pants, are covered in dirt and blood. His hair's messy and riddled with sweat. ]... E-Everyone... be on the lookout for

[Great. Way to be entirely unhelpful with the explaining, Yuriy.]

He needs a doctor.

[Zuko's voice is hard, his gaze still on Kai, and if you look closely, he's biting his lip in worry.]

[Action]

[a_lone_flame]

[ Unfortunately, Yuriy, Kai doesn't hear you and another tear falls out of his eye. ]

I-I'm s-sorry... [ He says quietly, trying to force his eyes open again. This can't be the end for him. Not yet. He has so much more to do. Dammit, eyes open! ]

[Action]

[novaerog]

I can take care of it.

[ Because stubborn Yuriy is stubborn. Noticing the tear, Yuriy narrows his eyes. He wasn't going to let Kai die. ]

Kai, look at me! You promised me you wouldn't die. You weren't going to leave like Boris did.

If you do, I'll never forgive you.

[Action]

[forged_anew]

[Zuko ignores whatever they're conversing about in some language he doesn't know and grabs Yuriy's shoulder to force his attention to him.]

He's bleeding way too much. He needs a doctor. Now.

[Action]

[novaerog]

I can take care of it.

[ Here Zuko, become good friends with Yuriy's glare before he shrugs away. ]

[Action]

[forged_anew]

[Zuko just glares right back. He will not stand idly by and let yet another of his friends die. Your opinion no longer matters, Yuriy.]

I doubt that.

[And with that, he pulls out his communicator, sending a quick text message to the Medicine Seller, the one person he knows who can somehow get there within seconds.]

[text: locked to Medicine Seller]

I need your help. A friend of mine is badly injured and he needs immediate attention. Horton, room 504.

[Action]

[a_lone_flame]

[ Kai's eyes do not open, but he's muttering and whimpering to himself. ]

I-I'll be b-better, grandfather... I-I won't f-fail anymore... j-just stop h-hitting me...

[ His chest rises and he moans in pain. ]

V-Volkov... I-I'll try to b-be the best... s-stop it, stop it... w-why are you h-hurting me...?

[ Ahh, memory regression. How are you doing tonight. ]

[voice to Action]

[ksuriuri_san]

... Of course.

[It certainly didn't take long. In the time it would take Zuko to turn off the transmission and blink, there would be a very soft noise at the door. Someone wasn't messing around today, was he? He didn't want to be invited in, the man simply pushed open the door and walked inside, complete with the medicine box.]

[Action]

[novaerog]

[ Not enjoying the fact that Zuko called in for the doctor, Yuriy glares at him while allowing the doctor to come into his home. He would later have a talk with Zuko.

Even with the appearance of the doctor, Yuriy continues to clean up Kai's injuries. He didn't plan on moving. ]

[Action]

[forged_anew]

[And, once again, Zuko meets Yuriy's glare straight on with one of his own. Yeah, he doesn't care if you're mad. Zuko turns to the Medicine Seller, looking serious but nodding gratefully.]

Thank you.

[and, unlike Yuriy, he steps a bit aside to let the person who knows what he's doing take care of his friend]

[Action]

[ksuriuri_san]

[He nods faintly to Zuko as well, before moving past him lightly. He doesn't make any requests for Yuriy to move, he simply picks a spot where he can, removing the medicine box and opening a drawer, carefully removing rolled bandages and pins to hold them, as well as a small array of bottles and cloths.]

... I will... however

need a little room.

[Action]

[a_lone_flame]

[ Eventually, the memory regression stops at least verbally, but Kai moves his hand to grab Yuriy's hand, squeezing it tightly. ]

D-Don't l-leave me, Yuriy... don't leave...

[ Yeah, he's not letting go, Yuriy, no matter how hard you tug. ]

Re: [Action]

[novaerog]

[ Yuriy stares at the Medicine Seller, he doesn't exactly trust doctors. He didn't make a move to leave, even before he felt Kai's hand grab his own. However, when he did feel Kai's hand, Yuriy gripped his hand and shook his head. ]

You heard him. I'm not moving.

[Action]

[ksuriuri_san]

[It was impossible to tell what the Medicine Sellers thoughts on this was. He flicked a glance down to Kai, then looked back to Yuriy, apparently indifferent to the display.]

Then...

please

make a little room... for me.

Or assist in applying this. [He held out a rather fancy looking bottle, a strange, sharp scent coming from the opened mouth]

[Action]

[forged_anew]

[Zuko's eyes narrowed at the redhead and he reached forward again, grabbing Yuriy's arm a bit more forcefully and hissing in a low voice]

Let him work, Yuriy. Do you want Kai to suffer because you're too stubborn to first call someone who can help him, and now because you're getting in the way?

Stop it.
