"Kyung... nii... chan?"
"It's alright, I'm here. I'm here with you."
A weak smile came from the boy in Rita's arms as he lay on the ground, too weak to do any more than that.
And Kyung understood completely.
"Don't speak," he said, "you've barely recovered. Take it easy."
"Y-yeah."
He placed his head back down, a soft sigh escaping his lips. But almost as he did so, he suddenly remembered something, something that had nearly escaped his lips.
"T-Toshiro-"
"I told you not to speak, you'll only expend your recovering energy"- Kyung flashed him a small smile- " Don't worry about Toshirou, I daresay he is in the best condition right now."
It seemed to ease the boy's nerves, but not before hearing the resounding noise of clashing metal and booming and crashing everywhere around him. It was as if they were in the midst of a warzone.
