[Attentive villagers may have seen bright beams of light originating from the far reaches of the forest, where the mountain range starts. Those beams were a result of this battle, and directly after it's taken place, Yuan has a message to broadcast to the entire village. His voice sounds hoarse and he seems to be out of breath.]The threat known as

[Diana is about to comment on Aku's "defeat" when she notices the filter.]

Where are you?

[orchidsandfire]

[She takes it, careful not to harm him further.

Hmm.]

How do you want to do this?

[fortunefail]

Whatever's easiest.

[Heck, Diana can sling him over her shoulder for all he cares.]

[orchidsandfire]

[Nah. Instead she carries him in her arms! He said whatever's easiest, after all.]

Tell me if you're uncomfortable.

[fortunefail]

[He would've preferred the shoulder thing, Diana. His girlfriend may not be able to bear seeing him cradled by another woman so shortly after the 4chan incident. Well, let's just hope they don't run into her.]

...

[orchidsandfire]

[Aww, but it's totally platonic.|D Anyway, Diana takes his silence as confirmation of his comfort and once again takes off into the air, this time going a bit faster than she went with Kratos. Yuan looks like he can take it.]

[fortunefail]

[Oh, he can. He's spent most of his life energy, but he's not dying, if that makes sense. He just needs to recover. Bedrest for a while should do the trick. Hm, now he's left wondering if Martel would make him a sandwich when he gets home.]

[orchidsandfire]

[He may have to wait a while because Diana has every intention of taking him to the clinic.]

[fortunefail]

[Ah, well, then the clinic employees can make him a sandwich. That's probably safer than Martel's sandwiches anyway. He won't stay at the clinic for too long, though!]

[orchidsandfire]

[Hopefully he knows better than to try to escape when Diana's still there.

Anyway, it's a quick trip to the clinic, and they alight in front of it in a few minutes. She lets him down, figuring she should be nice enough to spare him some dignity when he enters.]

[fortunefail]

[Sadly, if Diana lets go of him too quickly, he will keel over. It cost him enough trouble to get to his feet when he wandered over to Kratos.]

[orchidsandfire]

[She'll let him down slowly, then. And she doesn't entirely let go, supporting him in case he's too weak to stand up by himself.]

[fortunefail]

[Either way, he'll just keep one hand on Diana's shoulder as a clear indication that he needs her support until he gets to a bed.]

[orchidsandfire]

[She slowly makes her way into the clinic, Yuan in tow. She leads him to the first bed available.]

[fortunefail]

[Perfect. He'll sit down on the bed and make himself comfortable on his own.]

... Thank you.

[orchidsandfire]

You're welcome. [She casts a glance at Kratos.] I hope your friend will be all right.
