Argenti's Palace

[beautifulknight]

The stage is set they say;
They don their masks and shields,
Shadows creep and cover their minds;
Now, what beautiful role shall they play?

[The extremely heavy staff smack has Izou coughing up blood, and them he's left dazed enough to make Sayaka's stab on him easy pickings, which sends him onto one knee as he's unable to stand on his stab wound leg.

So obviously first off, Medea helps him stand back up with a Dia to himself, though he's still on pretty shaky footing. He's also throwing a Rakukaja at Sayaka so she doesn't think he's mad at her.

He's then going to try and take another swing at the cracking statue but given that he's barely standing it's unsurprising that he whiffs entirely and falls flat on his face (1).]

( despite the risk, she's at his side immediately to... to... she's not sure, beyond the healing. )

[goei]

[She doesn't have to help him up, but he does have something to say;]

I want tonkatsu when we get back.
[IS NOW THE TIME FOR DINNER REQUESTS?]

[beathollow]

...



( it gets a shaky laugh. )

O-okay. That means you can't die though. I can't cook for a dead man!

[goei]

I told you I ain't gonna die! I just need a minute.

[He needs some floor time]

[beathollow]

Then stop getting hit.

... I've got you, though.

[goei]

It ain't like I'm getting hit on purpose!!!

[At least this gets him to sit up]

[beathollow]

I wasn't serious. But. I also kind of was. I am very worried.

( she's going to help him up, lingering by just in case. )

[goei]

I'm tellin' ya, it ain't yer job ta worry. I'm just doin' my job here!

[Taking the hits so Mafuyu doesn't have to.]

[beathollow]

( about that- )

And? I care about you.

[goei]

[NOT CARING ABOUT HIM!!!]

W-well, then I'll just kill'em real quick so ya don't have ta worry so much!

[WAIT. NO. FORCE OF HABIT.]

I mean. Beat him up so he stops bein' all weird.

[fullmoonmutt]

Stop dying, you asshole!

[ Thanks, Eli, that's super helpful. ]

[goei]

Please! Like I'd die from just this much!

[It actually sort of is because the bragging it draws out of Izou seems to help re-energize him]
