Che, couldn’t he be concerned with himself for once? Sousuke gazed at the brick wall in across from him. They had a lot of mess here to deal with, Rin’s shoulder and his own leg. Plus they had to answer the prayer as well, which meant another trip across town. And with their injuries, he doubted either of them were very up for that. But now Rin wanted to do that trip alone, after what they had just been ambushed by. And it wasn’t like Rin would be willing to simply leave Sousuke here in this state to wait for him to get back.

What else could they do at the moment though? He didn’t think Rin could transport back to the Far Shore and drop him off with Angel in his arms. Could gods bring normal Near Shore residents and things back with them? And that aside, how was Sousuke supposed to recover from this broken leg? And Rin from his shoulder? Were they going to holy water it off or be laid up for however long? He told himself he could handle it, but the truth was, the pain was there and it hurt so much his body was threatening to go numb to everything but his leg. As Rin knelt down next to him and that hand came to rest on his head, the shinki let out another frustrated sigh.

‘I’m not dying Rin.’ Even if he was bleeding and all, it was still just a broken leg. He hadn’t gotten punched through the chest. Sousuke blinked at the sudden wuff of air next to him and—‘Oy!’ Why was he lowering the dog down next to him?! A moment later, he got his answer as Angel started licking his cheek. The shinki made a little muttering groan noise in annoyance. ‘Seriously, Rin?’ But for his gruff, he didn’t pull away or try to stop it. Look, he was glad Angel was okay as well so there.

‘So what’s your decision?’
