If it should happen that you've been presented with this recording, then the likelihood that my availability would allow me to attend to your message is quite thoroughly absent. Luckily, you are fully capable of leaving your own recording in reply to this one, and should I not find myself so busy in the future I may have opportunity to hear it and adopt the appropriate reaction. Of course, there's only one method you can employ to discover if this duty will be ultimately fulfilled, so there's little need to waste time avoiding it. Mind the beep.

[hashrap]

[glowsferatu]

Shit
And You Couldnt Be Bothered To Say So Sooner

[ she almost forgets to hit "send", immediately dropping her phone in her purse and zeroing in on his location to open up a portal to it. ]

[hashrap]

[ He's at NONDESCRIPT LOCATION, sitting on the sidewalk to keep from agitating his wound; a deep slash from shoulder to hip, clearly made by a sword. He's had worse wounds by far, but this one has been left for too long, continuously opening itself with each semi-strenuous movement, unable to be disinfected or cleaned or stitched back together.

The great thing about god tier uniforms is that they regenerate themselves, so while the cut still weeps and aches, it's rather inconspicuous unless you notice the way the fabric gets slightly darker, clings awkwardly like a second skin.

He doesn't get to read her text before she's already there; understandably, he doesn't make a move to get up just yet. ]

Still think you should start charging for that. Way more reliable than Dial-a-Taxi.

[ she steps out of the portal and kneels in front of him, surveying the damage. it's a bit hard to see against the red shirt, but what she can tell isn't favorable.

ignoring his quip, she starts looking for a path to the nearest hospital, tempted to ask what happened, but she decides that setting it right will be more important right now. ]

Can you walk, or would it be more prudent to carry you?

[hashrap]

If you try to carry me I swear to god I'll cut off all your limbs and feed them to you. I may be swapping bodily fluids with the sidewalk right now, but my dignity hasn't leaked out yet.

[ He... offers her his hand anyway, for help getting up. He feels like he's aged fifty years. ]

[glowsferatu]

We could elect to remain here until it does, if you feel that would make the journey easier.

[ she takes his hand to ease him to his feet, but isn't confident in the way he's moving in the least. ]

At least lean against me. Your pride will take a more severe hit if you end up toppling back to the ground.

[hashrap]

Whatever. You tell anyone about this and your life is going to be hell.

[ #all aboard the kanaya express

Today is a real kick to the pride for him. He makes an effort to stand on his own but he's got wicked vertigo and the sudden angle change makes him woozy. He ends up leaning against her anyway. ]

Lead the way.

[glowsferatu]

[ she slips her arm under his to support his weight as she pulls open the a portal to the hospital, leading him through. ]

Facilitating your transport can be considered a freebie. There would be too much of an upset if I left you to die for it to be a proper repayment of my debt.

The avoidance of any discussion of this beyond the two of us and anyone who may happen to bear witness, that balances my account with you. The favor you're owed has been returned in that obfuscation.

[hashrap]

[ This is too many big words for him. ]

Uh, yeah. Thanks, I think. Just... make sure John doesn't find out. I'm swearing you to total secrecy.

[glowsferatu]

Neither he nor anyone who might share the information with him. I would cross my heart, but it would do little good, given that I'm already dead.

[ she pulls open the door, and catches the attention of the admissions attendant. an orderly comes toward them with a stretcher. ]

I'll make certain you aren't unattended too long, either.

[hashrap]

Yeah.

[ He drags himself onto the stretcher, half falling half climbing onto it. He's starting to feel really, really tired. ]

... Thanks, Kanaya.

[glowsferatu]

[ wow she...doesn't think she's ever heard him say that before. she's not sure how to feel about that.

she tries to answer: ] Sure. O-of course.

[ but by the time she gets the words out he's already being pushed through the doors and into the emergency room, leaving her there to wait and worry. ]
