he sat down on the sofa that left him with a clear view of where Kaima was standing. "oh, and aranor says you're to have the room, third on the right up the stairs if that's okay" He asked but really didn't care that much.

Kaima managed a small nod of the head in the direction of the body snatcher. Eyes, now bleeding into a lively shade of green, polluting the pale azure that once filled the rings as they looked up the stairs, which now seemed like a mountain to scale to the Harmonizer.
"How is Elesin faring?" He asked, twisting his head back to catch sight of Darcia from where he now stood in the heart of the hallway.

"he was fine when I left him. Darcia stood up and walked up the stairs, pearing around the corner, his breathing was steady and he seemed fine so he left it there and walked back down to Kaima. "He is fine, please sit down if you want. He gestured at the sofa and moved over to it himself, putting one foot on the wooden table.

The Harmonizer's eyes followed every move of the man, from scaling the stairs to planting his foot upon the table that stood before the sofa he collapsed upon. Kaima hesitated for a few moments, before he was able to open his mouth to speak.
"The offer sounds tempting..." He began, it seemed as though it wasn't just the manners that he was able to keep under pressure. "...But I am afraid that I won't be able to survive for long without rest." He added, whilst his hair continued to grow out the blue hue that it once possessed.

Darcia wondered suddenly if he needed a hand to get up the stairs. "Can you get up to your room or do you need aid?" he took his foot from the table and turned to face the Harmonizer.

Although he was able to keep it well hidden, the Harmonizer was more than a little taken aback by the offer of help from the man. But in spite of this, Yasashiku seemed determined to move under his own strength, still untrusting of Darcia and his intentions.
"No, I am sure I will be able to manage on my own." He answered, as polite as ever. Although he knew that if anything were to happen, the sound of a body rolling down the stairs would be warning enough that something had taken a turn for the worse.

He nodded, [colour-green]"If you're sure."[/colour] He put his feet up on the table again and leaned back, closing his eyes. [coloul=green]"Suit yourself"[/colour]

It didn't take long for the Harmonizer to begin his trek up the stairs, grabbing the handrail with a hesitant hand before pulling himself up onto the first step. He seemed to be progressing well, the stairs not nearly as intimidating as they had first seemed, his depleted strength more than enough to pull him up the stairs with relative ease,and at a decent pace.
But as he climbed, his mind seemed to grow clouded, his breath grew short, the strain apparent in his muscles, even though he seemed to be unfazed by dizziness, which was not the case, for after a few seconds had passed since his climb had begun, his strength began to be devoured, the wound that viciously punctured his back craving his attention every waking moment.
The rail that he held in his grip felt traitorous, and before another step could be taken up the mountain of steps, the Harmonizer felt his legs turn to stone, and another loud clatter rocked the air.

Darcia heard the thump and jumped up, unsure of why he was so concerned about his enemy. He enetered the hall to find Kaima fallen to one knee on the stairs, not far up. "You shouldn't have been so cocky," He walked up to the stairs and put his arm about Kaima's waist, half lifting, half dragging him up the stairs. "Idiot, if you needed help you should have just said something, damn it. Aranor will be on at me all night now...!"/colour] He rolled his eyes as he got Kaima up the final steps, letting him rest for a second.

It seemed that no amount of mental training could prepare the Harmonizer for the amount of physical pain that he now had to endure. The sudden relief of his own weight being lifted from his feet seemed like an answer to an unspoken prayer, and before long, with a few little rants along the way from none other than Darcia himself, Yasashiku was once again on flat ground, knee pressed upon the floor as he drew in some sharp, gentle breaths for his lungs.
But he remained quiet, and with every ounce of determination that he was able to muster, he raised himself up to his full height, stumbling only slightly with the sudden responsibility that he felt, and in spite of this, a smile still remained evident upon his face.
"My apologies..." He managed to say through the pain, which continued to burn as though it were from the final circle of Hell itself.

"Yeah, whatever..." He regained his grip on Kaima and started to drag him towards the guest room. He only noticed then how much smaller the injured Harmonizer was compared to himself. And small thought appeared in the back of his mind about how young this skilled warrior was. "Come on, this is your room." He walked in and let him rest on the bed. "Are you okay now?"

In spite of the fact that he was essentially being dragged to his destination, Kaima continued to move his feet in a feeble attempt to walk in an act of habit more than anything else. After a few more moments in his awkward predicament, however, the Harmonizer was soon released from the other man's grip, and had to resist the urge to fall back upon the bed in exhaustion, for the crater that had been formed in his flesh would not offer him solace if he were to lay upon it.
"I'll survive." He said, repeating himself once again, settling his hands upon the soft bedsheets to steady himself. The Harmonizer soon felt his mind wander to the magnitude of the pain, and how much more severe it would have been if not for the aid of Almathea. He had already thanked the Seraph for all the help it had been, but still Kaima thought that his thanks were not enough to express his gratitude.

Darcia looked at the harmonizer with an irritated expression. *He isn't even going to be able to rest with that wound, the idiot won't even heal it.*
"That is debatable, if that opens up you know you will bleed to death." He looked down at him with contempt. "Wouldn't do to have a challenge die would it?"

"It may not look like it, but it is healing." Kaima answered, a pause between his words as he leaned forward to take the weight off of his back. He turned his head away from the other man, and instead focused his attention upon the pillows that sat neatly arranged at the top of the bed "It simply takes time to repair it all."

"Uh huh?" He looked at Kaima but did not voice his thoughts. He kicked a little at a mark that was on the floor to see if it was something permanent, it didn't move and he turned away, looking out of the window at the dark elf children and adults in the village below them. "Well, if that is all, I think I'm going to make something to eat, want anything?" He looked back at Kaima and made his way to the door.
