o20 [Action]

[Okita returned earlier in the day and has since been trying to make his way back to the village with mixed results. Without his journal, he can't call for help even if he wanted to and he was dumped somewhere toward the south of the village at the tail end of the 18th, once the blizzard passed. He's got a stick and is using it to pick his way slowly through the snow, but seeing how he's been temporarily blinded and is nursing a broken right arm hidden in his kimono along with a head injury, this is an experiment destined to fail.

If anyone toward the lower half of the village is willing to find him? He'd like to get inside and stop freezing.]

...Kouichi-kun?

[stalkingmybro.livejournal.com]

What happened to you?

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid I met our captors.

[stalkingmybro.livejournal.com]

Did they hurt you? [He does not like those Malnosso, at least, since the last time he got mallynapped, he couldn't speak properly.]

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Not so much.
[Once he was unconscious at least. He fought like hell while still awake and that is why his arm is broken and he has that head injury. What a derpface.]
Well, just a bit, but that's probably because I tried to hurt them first.

[stalkingmybro.livejournal.com]

Well, okay...

I'll help you back. You don't look so well.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

[He climbs to his feet unsteadily and nods, wavering a bit.]

I'll be alright. I just need to know which way to go.

[stalkingmybro.livejournal.com]

What do you mean? [Helping you there, we wouldn't want you to fall over after all.]

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

I'm all turned around, that's all. Everything's covered in snow, so all my landmarks are missing.

[stalkingmybro.livejournal.com]

Do you want me to help you back instead? [Something seemed off with that statement.]

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

If it isn't much of a bother. This head injury makes me a little dizzy.

[stalkingmybro.livejournal.com]

I can help you to the clinic then. That sounds really bad.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

That would be most helpful.

[stalkingmybro.livejournal.com]

All right, just hold onto me. I'll help lead you there.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

[He reaches out and takes Kouichi's shoulder, nodding slightly.]
Thank you. It's very kind of you.

[stalkingmybro.livejournal.com]

Don't worry about it. Let's head this way then. [And he'll help lead Okita, making sure to be careful every step of the way.]

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Alright.
[And he'll follow afterward, picking his way carefully, following Kouichi's footsteps.]

[stalkingmybro.livejournal.com]

[It'll take a long while, but eventually they do get to the clinic. Kouichi never wastes time, after all.]

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

[Once they're inside, he'll stand near the door and smile down at where he thinks Kouichi is.]

Thank you. That was most helpful.

[stalkingmybro.livejournal.com]

... I'm over here.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

...

Right! Well, off we go.

[stalkingmybro.livejournal.com]

Are you sure you're okay?

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Like I said, a little dizzy. Otherwise, okay?

[stalkingmybro.livejournal.com]

If you say so. Come on, we better get you to bed.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I think I'm a little scrambled in the head.
