Of course, that was the other issue they needed to tackle. Healing themselves. He didn't know what otherworldly, magical properties existed aside from their usual powers, but as far as Rin knew, he couldn't cure broken limbs or scrapes, and on top of that he was pretty sure the holy water back at the castle would only be useful for treating blight. This was different. This was blood and open wounds. And what was he supposed to do about turning Sousuke back to his human self? He doubted he wouldn't sustain that injury if he reverted, which might even hurt more now that he thought about it...
"I know you're not," he said with a returned sigh of his own. "But whether or not you are, I won't take your safety lightly." At least little Angel seemed to be lightening the mood a bit, still licking and trying to wriggle out of Rin's hold so she could give herself a better angle to work with here. Hn. Cute. To think they went through all this trouble over something so small and helpless.
In the end, Rin lifted her back up to give Sousuke his breathing room back, then after a few beats to think he looked towards the mouth of the alleyway one last time as the world and air around them began to distort. In seconds the dark atmosphere vanished beneath their feet, soon to be replaced with the familiar scene of that quaint apartment complex just a street or two away. Thankfully the image was still fresh in his mind, so he was able to send the three of them to the top of the stairs without trouble, but just for safe measure he looked over to make sure Sousuke was still able to rest on his side (and in the shade as much as possible).
There. Happy? "Wait here." From the sounds of things, there were definitely people on the other side of that apartment door, so at least they wouldn't have to worry about waiting for them to show up.
