o28 [Voice | Action] (backdated to early morning April 12th)

[After his encounter with Selim here, Okita is trying to make his way back to the village. His hands have one hole each in them, his left ankle is bloodied and bitten, his neck is bruised from being choked, and he's pushing one hand against his left side where he has a terrible open sword wound in it. As he walks, he'll open his journal, keeping the window covered so no one can see him.]

...preying on children... can't...

Can't let...

[He stumbles and the journal hits the ground, bouncing away until it lays flat and shows the sky. Okita can be heard coughing in the background, trying to drag himself along before he collapses somewhere just past the bridge leading to Community Building 5.]

[It was a last ditch effort at pretending to be alright and as Derek heals him and Litchi patches him up, he'll lay back down and wait until they're finished. Despite the holes in his hands, he holds them up for the others to grab him and pull him up.]

I can walk. Just help me to my feet.

[Derek just gives him a look, but will carefully take hold of Okita's arm to help with the pulling. He's definitely not going to stray far at all from Okita's side. He's seen this movie one too many times, and does expect the younger man to fall over again.]

[Litchi also takes a hold of an arm to help Okita to his feet, frowning slightly. Honestly, some people can be so stubborn...]

If you insist on walking yourself, at least use my staff for support.

[Stubborn doesn't even begin to cover it. Once he's up, he'll wipe his sword across his clothes to clear it of blood and then slide it into his scabbard. He's unsteady on his feet, but trying to appear otherwise.]

If one of you would just lend an arm or a shoulder to hold onto... I'm sure I can make it.

[He smiles faintly.]

It isn't a far walk and you two have helped me a great deal.

Last I checked, that's what friends are for, [Derek comments dryly. He'll position himself so that Okita can lean on him, looking to Litchi and hoping she takes up the other side anyway. Stubborn Okita may be, but Derek didn't want to take any chances on a face plant on the way to the clinic.]

[She's way ahead of you, Derek. Litchi can be pretty stubborn herself when she puts her mind to it, and health concerns will generally do the trick. Careful not to bump the wound, Litchi takes her place on Okita's other side for support.]

Just doing my job, Mr. Okita. I wouldn't be much of a doctor if I didn't help.

[He laughs a bit weakly at Derek's comment and then smiles at Litchi.]

I appreciate it. Both of you.

[And now he'll finally lean on both of them, going with them toward the clinic. As stubborn as he is, he's getting lightheaded from the blood loss.]

[Derek just nods and smiles, providing Okita the support he needs on that side. Just get the guy there, that's what he cares about.

Expect him to hover once you get there, Okita, unless whatever healy-type person there chases him out.]

[Litchi, for one, won't be chasing him out. Once they do get to the clinic, she'll set to work patching up those wounds for good, but the trick for now is just getting him there.

But you're in good hands, Okita. Litchi won't rest until you're all healed.]

[Good thing the two of you are there then, because as soon as the three of them hit the clinic, he's probably going to pass out and remain passed out for a good long while.]
