and learn to fly;

[Oh uh, looks like there's been another little mishap in the dressing room. Namely a certain unfortunate Riku who's lying on the ground, blood flowing from his back and starting to pool on the floor. There are black feathers scattered around, probably from the pair of thoroughly broken and mutilated black wings lying in front of him.]

[Just making small, quiet whimpering sounds, unable to even think clearly anymore because of the pain and everything else.]

[sirenicall]

[Gingerly turns him over, making sure to not put any pressure on his back and pulls him into her lap. Her wings are lifting them both up and shes flying down the hall, holding him close.]

Hang in there, Riku.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Still making quiet noises, just trying to shut out the pain. He's trembling quite a bit by now, and he's going to go into shock if he bleeds too much more.]

[sirenicall]

[Flies into a bathroom and holds him against her while she grabs a few potions, then kneels down and holds his head up, pouring them down his throat.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[He can feel the potions start to work, but they're healing the damage, not the pain. So he's trying to force himself to be quiet and manages to be quieter at least.]

[sirenicall]

Aw, Riku...

[She feels bad for him :< she can only imagine what that feels like. Right now Namine is pouring another potion down his throat, then taking the third and applying it to the wound directly.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[She could probably imagine what it's like the best, since she knows just how sensitive those wings were. Speaking of, when she pours the potion on the actual would she can expect him to make a few pained noises because ghhh stinging.]

[sirenicall]

I'm sorry...

[Whispers it into his ear, sounding genuinely apologetic. She finishes up and just holds him close, grabbing a nearby towel and using it to press against the wounds.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Still shaking, but being close to her is comforting and he can use all the comfort he can get at the moment.]

[sirenicall]

[Uses her other hand to brush some hair away from his face and presses a kiss to his forehead, humming a soft song quietly.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Still in lots of pain, but the singing is helping to calm him down at least. He leans his head against her, trying to focus on the humming.]

[sirenicall]

[Rocks him gently, just trying to soothe him, but then lifts them back up with her wings and heads towards his room.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[He's feeling exhausted after all this, trying to stay awake for now.]

[sirenicall]

[Once in his room, she lays him down on the bed, on his stomach of course, and pulls the blankets up over him, tucking him in.]

Just relax. I won't let anyone hurt you anymore.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Is pretty much quiet by now, finally closing his eyes and falling asleep.]

[sirenicall]

[Stays at his side, running her fingers through his hair lightly until she's sure he's sleeping well enough and then goes about bandaging the area where his wings were.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Doesn't stir much in his sleep at all, Making light breathing sounds and staying pretty still for the most part.]

[sirenicall]

[She plans on staying at his side until he starts getting annoyed of her again, and she's sticking to that now, just looking down at him at humming. Hopefully that song will help prevent any nightmares.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[She just saved his life, he's not going to get annoyed with her :< Also, no nightmares for him, whether it's due to her singing or not. After a nice long while, his eyes start to flutter open.]

[sirenicall]

[Oh good. Because he's making her a little bit self conscious :|

When she sees his eyes open she smiles down at him and strokes his cheek lightly.]

Hey.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Blinks twice in confusion and opens his mouth to say something. Before he can though, he's suddenly aware that ow, his back is sore as hell.]

H-hey.

[sirenicall]

[Lays down next to him so it's easier for him to look at her, and lays on her side, but leaves that hand on his cheek.]

Feeling any better?

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

Better, yeah.

[He's not in agony anymore, just dull pain. And trying to lie still as possible to keep from making it worse.]

[sirenicall]

Good, I'm glad. What happened to you, Riku?

[Looks worried, and she's still petting his hair, now looking into his eyes. Suddenly she doesn't like being the knight instead of the damsel.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

...Someone who's definitely not Kai.

[That's what happened. Somehow though, some little part of his mind is grateful that he's not carrying a weakness around on his back all the time now.]
