What he expected from such a comment was pretty obvious. He wasn’t reprimanding Rin so much as himself. They both needed to work together right now, frustrating as it was. Rin always told him they were a team, but Sousuke acknowledged he was too self-reliant to really accept it beyond the “have to” that came up every now and then. He liked being around Rin, of course, but having to rely on him for anything was… frustrating. Sousuke never liked it when someone or something told him “you can’t.”
The silence stretched longer than was comfortable, but all he could do right now was lie here and wait. If he rolled over and tried to walk, they’d probably get into another fight and just mess up his leg and Rin’s shoulder even further. Sousuke felt the glare over his shoulder but without a human body at the moment, he couldn’t reach up and smack him for it. And like hell was he going to lean up and lick him… because he knew what a dog licking someone meant. He at least got some relief when Rin eased up on his fur.
‘I can’t walk well,’ he pointed out with a small frown. Saying he was lame right now wasn’t completely the truth. Three legs worked and if he could manage to avoid moving his broken one, they could at least move forward. Leaving him there didn’t feel right, so he had to agree with Rin. Even if Sousuke was nigh-100% sure nothing bad would happen to him here on Rin’s castle grounds. Besides, protesting that would also trigger another yelling match. Wait—Call someone?!
‘Who are you going to call?’ The shinki’s voice dropped into a wary mutter. It was hard enough relying on Rin’s help; having to accept someone else was going to come along and see him in this pathetic state was… How about no.
