[at the mention of her wanting to get help he frowned even further. no, he didn't want anyone else involved with this, he barely even wanted ange to know, but since she was someone that he was so close with, that he loved, there was no way he couldn't tell her but....

he didn't want to be around anyone else right now exactly.]

Get the bandages we found the other day.

with a grunt he moves to sit up, his arm limp on the bed and he uses his good one now, his hand moving to take off that black jacket of his, slowly removing his shirt as well. it hurts to even do all of that, but he's not really showing it either way, but sure enough he's simply covered in blood, mostly diva's actually, but there's a massive wound on the nape of his neck by his shoulder, the blood just kept running down him.]

[ Just from the way he replies she can already tell what's going unsaid. She shouldn't involve other people, isn't that what he's saying-- or what he wants, either way? But at least he's allowing her to help him, so she won't complain for now or even ask what happened yet. Instead she turns to get said bandages, and make a cloth wet with the water they got from the well before so she can clean him up with it.

When she's got all of it she moves back to him, sitting on the bed behind him since she's figured where most of the blood is coming from too by now. Why would he have a wound there of all places? She can't help but wonder it as she reaches out to carefully clean it as well as she can while there's still blood coming out of it before she starts to work on the bandages. She knows she doesn't have to tell him to hold still or that it might hurt or something - Senji's too tough for that. He's already proved that much just by enduring these wounds and being a little sluggish at best. But even though he's strong, she's still making sure to be as gentle as she can be with this. At least she's not really embarassed about him being shirtless by now anymore.. ]

[senji just waits for her to get everything prepared, sitting on the bed and staring at nothing in particular. when she moves behind him like that, starting to clean his wounds he closes his eye, grunting a little from the sensations but he doesn't let it get to him too much, this pain is nothing compared to what he's gone through in the past. hell, diva was easier than another opponent he faced, the murderer of his friends, but that only due to the fact that she was being far too playful with him, if she had taken him seriously from the start he knows he would have died, easily.

so in a sense he was lucky, he fought her just fine but... he did nearly die, and she injured him pretty badly.]

....I killed Diva.

[that was all he said for the moment, his eye still closed and he wasn't moving at all, just speaking for now.]

She was out of control, she did some weird magic shit and made herself look like Izumo, so when I was talking to who I thought was Izumo she pulled some weird shit on me, got way too close to me, hell she even kissed me. [at that he does shift a little, telling Ange this is kind of awkward after all.]

Figured I had gotten too soft, you know? Lettin' a little girl get close to me like that just wasn't like me at all, made me furious, especially since that was supposed to be someone I trusted that did that to me. I confronted Izumo and she told me she didn't do it, but I didn't listen to her, I was seeing red from how mad I was about everything. Being too soft, not bein' myself...

I grabbed the girl by the throat, tried to crush her, I saw how scared she was and how she was cryin' but she still wanted me to do it. She felt guilty over something that was out of her hands... she wanted to be punished. It reminded me too much of myself back when I was a cop.

So... I knew Diva had to die for causing all that shit.

[ Ange just quietly listens to the whole story, not bothering to interrupt him once he starts. Just from his tone she can guess it's not something he just casually did, after all, and when he continues she knows why. Of course, if there's anything he'd get aggravated about, it's his past, any hint of it..

She finishes putting the bandages on the wound on his neck the best she can for now just as he stops speaking, so all there's left for a moment is to think about it. Izumo.. she remembers that girl, of course she does, she was the one who was so rude about Shiemi's departure that it just annoyed her, so it's not like she can bring up a particular amount of sympathy for her.. and Diva is that vampire girl, right? And she.. kissed Senji.. Ange subconsciously touches her lips for a moment, but.. no, it's fine. Not like she can blame Senji. Besides, he didn't like it, right? So then it's no big deal..

In the end she decides to continue cleaning his back from all the blood first, mostly so he doesn't have to face her directly after saying all that, even though she does speak up. ]

You didn't do anything wrong. [ Not that she thinks Senji has to be reassured about that, but she figures she might as well say she agrees - even though Ange's sense of morality is a little screwed up too. Gently she dabs at his back, the smaller wounds below the blood now visible. ] If she did that stuff, then she had it coming..

.. But.. [ For a moment she stops, hesitating. ] Are you really mad at yourself for "going soft"..?

[....well... that wasn't a question he was expecting from her at all.

he actually went quiet for several moments, just thinking about what she just said, about if he's really mad about going soft. yeah, he is, there's no doubt about it, going soft means people can hurt you, it means you're not strong enough to protect those you want to protect anymore, and it means people won't rely on you if you're too weak.

being soft means being compassionate, and that means being merciful, that's something he's just not, something he can't afford to be as well, with his lifestyle and what he's used to, what he's had to see for so long, being soft sickens him.]

If I were the Crow from before... I would have just killed people here because I felt like it, 'cause it's fun.... heh, but I can't exactly do that anymore, can I?

[he looks over his shoulder at her when he speaks now.]

But when someone deserves to be put in their place I won't hesitate to do so, and she'll come back anyways, this place... death ain't permanent. But she's also a fucked up vampire herself, she might want revenge. But ya know.... damn, she was a good fighter, I can't bring myself to totally hate the girl, I have respect for her and her strength.

[he turns to looking back down at the bed now.]

And if I'm soft then I'm not strong, and if I'm not strong I can't protect you. So yeah, I was pissed about it.

[ Because he has to be strong.. to protect her, huh..? She stares down at the bed herself rather than at his back for a few moments, but then she climbs past him to go sit in front of him instead, so on the other side of him, looking at him. ]

You're never weak, Senji. [ Soft and weak.. they're different, right? Well, maybe too soft might be weak, but it's not like he isn't strong at the same time. Senji's always been one of the strongest people she's known, even way back in Asgard she could already tell that. And even though he might say he's a bad person, she really knows he's not.. it's just like he said, he can't kill people anymore just since he feels like it, he can't let that be the only reason anymore.

Ange ends up leaning towards him a little, carefully and gently pressing her lips against his' for a small kiss - she doesn't want to overdo it in a situation like this, but she knows a quick kiss is the best way to show that she's here for him no matter what. Even if she can still taste the blood on his lips, really.. ]

If she goes to get revenge though while you're still like this, there's no way I'm going to let her do that. [ Sure, she might not be as physically strong as Senji, but she sure is stubborn and determined. ] I'll help you out.

[well, he had gotten to this point in his life simply because he knew he was so weak from before, so he tried to change himself completely. but... it's strange, he has companions again, like he had before, and he didn't want to lose them no matter what, even though he knew someday he would. it's not like he'd be as bad as when he was young, he knows it's just apart of life now.

he stares at her, seeing her move towards him and he already knows what's coming, which is why he kisses her back briefly, sharing that moment with her before she pulled away again.

and this is why he was hesitant to tell her... she's far too stubborn for her own good. he sighs at that, his good hand coming up and he brushes her cheek with it slightly.]

She'll kill you. Don't put a guy like me through that, alright? [basically telling her it's okay, that she doesn't have to.]

I'll handle it.

You're overestimating your luck though if you think you can fight her with one arm and wind again.. [ She can tell that what's wrong with it must be that it's broken - after all, he keeps using only the same arm to touch her all the time right now. ]

I promise to not do anything stupid, but.. if she's going to actually get to the point where she'll try to kill you while you're like this, I'll stop her. [ In other words, she won't intervene unless it's the only choice. ] Aside from that, I'll leave it up to you, okay..?

[ She drops the cloth soaked with the blood she got off him on the bed for a moment - she doesn't care, after all, Senji already messed up the covers enough by himself. ]

Mm... [he grunts at that, a little annoyed that she was able to tell that his arm was broken so easily.

still, he's been through worse so he's not too worried.]

Guess I can't really tell you no. [she's far too stubborn for her own good, even though he doesn't want her fighting at all, he wouldn't want her to get hurt.]

After this shit heals, you 'n me are gonna train in the art of vampire hunting. [he smiles at that, chuckling, just being his normal self.]

[ It's a relief to see him acting more like normal, either way. She knows Senji's strong, of course he wouldn't stay grumpy even after this. Maybe her presence helped a little with that too, but it's not like Ange realises that.. instead she just smiles thinly herself in response to his own sudden cheerfulness. ]

Vampire hunting, huh? Looks like I'll have to find some stakes then. [ She's just joking along too. ] .. You should shower or throw a bucket of water over you though. Your hair's full of blood too.

[ To prove it Ange reaches over, lightly pulling a hand through his hand, only to have blood on it too when she pulls it back. Not like she's disgusted by blood or anything, either way, so she doesn't really care. ]

Stakes? Well hey-

[he shrugged a little at that, grinning that lop-sided smile of his. at least ange was here for him, and her being there for him- just her presence, that alone is enough for him to feel better than anything.]

You can summon those, can't ya? Hehaha.... nngh.. [when he laughed he had to take a moment to grunt to himself, feeling pain yet again. but then he feels her hand going through his hair, and it feels good for the moment- her touch, but then she pulls her hand away and sees the blood on her. he reaches out to her, gripping her wrist as he stares at her hand.]

Come on, now you're all covered too. You should wash up as well.

[ She's about to tell him to take it easy since his body is still so strained when he grunts like that, but then he's already grabbed her wrist like that. It makes her stare at the blood on her hand too - of course some of it came on the rest of her body too thanks to her cleaning him like that, but at least compared to how he looks it's nothing too bad. ]

Normally I'd suggest going to Haven North for it, but.. that's not really an option now. [ A sigh. She's not going to make Senji fight while he has a broken arm and he's completely exhausted.. ]

It'll be easier to do outside than in here though. I cleaned you up mostly already, so if we can make it to some abandoned building here quickly nobody's going to notice a lot of blood on you. I mean, we can do it here, but it'd be easier if it's in a place where you could.. [ ..... PAUSE... Ange's face grows a little red. Of course the blood soaked through his clothes too, so.. yeah. ]

Edited 2013-07-14 13:48 (UTC)

Everything's fuckin' crumbling.

[not like senji really understood what she was getting at, why she was growing flustered or anything like that. he simply paused as well, staring at her face for a moment before he sighed, moving to stand up again.]

Guess I'll try takin' a shower with a broken arm. That'll be a first... [he's not too sure if he'll even be able to do it but he'll try...]

[ She stands up too, already walking ahead so she can be turned away from him without it seeming suspicious. Come on, her face has got to cool down so her blush can disappear and she can just seem as unfazed as usually.. ]

T.. that's why I'm going to help you, idiot. [ Not like she's going to look, she'd probably pass out from embarassment. But maybe she can close her eyes or hand him the stuff he needs or.. well, anything. No matter how embarassing it is, but Ange always has the desire to help the people she's close to at all times. ]

[...wait....

senji stops for a moment, and he soon turns to look behind him, staring right at ange and his eye widens at what she just said. okay, they were together but.... no!! he's never done anything like that and.... she's going to...]

You're gonna help me sh-shower?! [OH GOD.] I can handle it myself! I don't want that..!

[even if he's overly injured he can still take a moment to be a prude tyvm.]

[ Ange actually hushes sharply at him when he says that, as if she's telling him to keep down his tone in case someone happens to wander through the hallways past the room. Not just because their relationship is a secret, but also just.. the idea is much too embarassing for her too, but she wants to help him no matter what. Even with this. ]

I'm not going to look or anything, what are you thinking..? [ Her own tone is a little softer, but it's still sharp because of her embarassment, her cheeks bright red. Normally she wouldn't have suggested this, but he's so hurt.. ] It's to help you, not since I'm some.. some weird pervert or anything. [ She looks away, her face as red as her hair. ]

Uh...

[he knows that, he does, dammit, but the initial shock from hearing her say something like that was just so.... well, it was just unexpected, that's all really. but senji does visibly relax, and he just looks away from her.]

Tch- do whatever you want. [in other words, he's saying she can help him, he won't hold it against her or anything.]

[ .. Well, he agreed more easily than she thought. But it's a good thing, either way, she didn't feel like arguing about it. It's easier if he just lets her help him, even if it's with something like this..

So she moves past him, out into the hallways of the apartment building, grabbing their bucket of water along as she goes. ]

Let's find a good spot then. Somewhere near the edges of this place should be fine.

Yeah yeah...

[they should really hurry it up already as well, he's feeling all the pain here from the cuts and the stings they bring along as well. but, he follows her, walking with her and he holds his arm, feeling the broken bones beneath his touch and he occasionally grunts or clicks his tongue as they walk.

they make it though, to an abandoned building on the outskirts of here.]

Never had to go this far for a fuckin' shower before.... [and since he had ditched his shirt back in their apartment, yeah he was walking this whole way without one.]

[ She doesn't really comment on any of the sounds he makes. Sure, she's worried about him -- worried would be an understatement, more like worried as hell even though she's glad he made it out alive. But she knows Senji is strong, and he likes to be seen that way too, so pitying him would probably make it seem like he's weak or something, so while they walk quietly she doesn't speak up too much.

It's only when they're there and he speaks up again that she does too. ]

Come on, just sit down. [ She gestures towards a pile of the rubble. He's normally way too tall for her to reach all the way up to his hair and all too, after all. Meanwhile Ange is moving to at least take her own jacket and ribbon off so they won't get soaked while she helps him, unceremoniously letting them drop on the floor for now. ]

[oh fine!! he huffs a little when she says that, a frown still on his face, but that's mostly due to how embarrassed he feels from all this, especially over the fact that she'll be... washing him...

oh god.

he moves to sit down on the rubble, grunting a little, and he watches her carefully, an eye trained on her... just waiting.

...he can't help but wonder if she wants to wash all of him.]]

[ It's not like it's easy for her either, okay.. but she's mostly just focusing on the concern she feels for him, that makes it a lot easier. She just knows she wants him to be okay, that washing will at least make sure his wounds won't get infected, and it's not like he can trust anyone else here to do that, so.. it falls on her shoulders. Not like she minds.

At least she can just start with his hair, using the water to get the blood out of there at least so it's just back to its usual black.

But after that.. yeah, then the question comes. She starts wondering the same thing as him, and that does make her really embarassed too. ]

Um.. [ She can't even look at him. ] D-don't you want to make sure to get entirely clean? [ Sure, she took care of his chest back in the apartment, but.. not his lower half.. ]

[...what kind of question is that!!

he stares at her, his face flushing for a moment and he feels his heart beating rapidly. his hair was all wet now, the spikes drooping and the water droplets falling off of it, and he's silent for a few moments before he speaks up again.]

'Course I do.... so uh... [what even.] ...what should I do then? [or what does she want him to do, really.]

[ .. Does she have to say it out loud?! Come on, Senji, this is already difficult enough for her too, she's getting flustered too at the thought. Even if she does love him, Ange's a prude too, after all, she just hides it better usually.. ]

W-well, you already realised, didn't you? [ Why would he ask if he did, Ange.. ] It's not like I can make sure your legs are okay and clean too unless you.. [ .. looking off to the side so much. She can't even look in his general direction at this. ] Unless you take off.. y-you know! [ His pants, of course. ]

Edited 2013-07-28 16:10 (UTC)

[...........................................oh my god.

senji just stares at her, and he understands what she's saying, that he needs to get totally clean, but he thinks he can do that much on his own! so he's about to protest, to yell at her and say that shit was so overly perverted to even ask, and with his face so overly red it's obvious about what he's going to do-...

however, he closes his mouth, swallowing what he was going to say, and he knows that if he says that to ange then it'll only make her feel even more embarrassed. he would yell at anyone else, he won't yell at her.

slowly he stands, and with a grunt, he turns around for a moment, moving to undo the button on his pants, then the zipper... and it's almost all agonizingly slow, but he then takes off his jeans, allowing them to slide off him and he kicks them off. he's... just in his underwear now, and he turns to look over his shoulder.]

...There.
