He understood Sousuke's concern, but Rin had his fair share of concerns too if he decided to keep Sousuke with him. If there would be another attack, his shinki was obviously in no condition to fight or defend no matter how much he wanted to. He wouldn't forgive himself if something else happened to Sousuke and he was unable to do anything about it... What if this, what if that. None of that. He wasn't to gamble with his best friend's life.

Still, that proposed compromise was almost convincing... Tsk, but he wanted to have that broken leg tended to as soon as possible. Letting Sousuke deal with it for several minutes longer would be torture. He could always try to contact Makoto, see if he could watch and tend to him while Rin finished this prayer request. Ngh, but would his device even work at a time like this between the two shores? Too much thinking, not enough doing. So once he saw Sousuke rest his head back down on the ground he let out a sigh then slowly kneeled down beside him in the shallow puddle, free hand reaching out to rest on his head again.

"Hang in there, ok? As soon as I finish this, I'll patch you up." In his hold, Angel wuffed softly... before just for the hell of it Rin lowered her down to where she could curiously sniff (and lick) at Sousuke's cheek. Seemed like someone wanted to show her gratitude at least.
