All these wet noodles, good lord.

[ So sometime late into Sunday, right before sunset, Cielo can be seen running through camp, soaked, and bleeding profusely from one of his arms. He's just screaming like an idiot, out of breath, making hand gestures at anyone in the cabins or the lodge. He doesn't stay long in one area, looking for help wherever he can.

He is also, incidentally, looking for Stan if he can find him. ]

Help--de clearin'--everybody real badly hurt, we need first-aid, I can only do so much, bandages...! Anythin' you got! An' pain medicine! We gwon need a lot!

[Ren grunts, because yeah his insides are still pretty bruised up.

But he doesn't argue it, just hangs there. Because Ichigo is right. He fucked up, he almost got everyone killed. He was a hypocrite and a failure.]

I didn't give them a chance to tell anyone. This is my fault alone.

[bladeisme]

[There's a long, long moment - of Ichigo just looking at him, holding his shirt, angry and glaring...

Before it's replaced with something a lot more withering, and maybe even painful.

Disappointment.]

Yeah. It was.

[He puts Ren back gently, but it's clear he's far from happy with this - even if it was something he'd do himself, he'd have wanted to tell someone in case everything went south.

In case he died, and they had to keep going without him.]

...I just thought you'd know better than that.

[le_mat]

[Ren is trembling]

Yeah... everyone thinks I'm better then what I am.

[bladeisme]

[He doesn't like the trembling. He knows what Ren is going through right now - he's hurt, he's reeling from getting other people hurt due to his decisions -

- but he's so upset and disappointed that he doesn't even care, and does something that's normally only reserved for his Zanpakuto:]

...Yeah.

Because that's the only thing you show them.

[Hitting where it hurts.

He's going to stalk off towards Mitsuru, now.]

[le_mat]

[Ren just stands there and lets him go, eventually wandering away from all the yelling to go... hide out in c4]

[fallbymyhands]

[before he goes, before she gets yelled at too--]

Ren.

May we speak later, after you've rested?

[le_mat]

...yeah.

[fallbymyhands]

[she nods; truthfully, she'd rather speak now, but she imagines Ren needs a bit of time. and truthfully, so does she, to reclaim her energy and finish out her own conversations]

Thank you. I'll come find you later.

[Worried zomboyfriend is following you, love.]
