[catchall] Caelus

This doesn't fit Kanda at all but I saw it while I was scrolling and I had to

[ an expression that borders on caelus--caelus--experiencing contempt.

although it's not so much directed at kanda than at facing another situation where he's helpless to do anything. at best/worst, he could force kanda into the spring, assuming the man has been sufficiently weakened, but they'd never talk again after that. the minuscule progress caelus has clawed for would disappear. ]

...

[ he exhales. okay. not worth it. don't give in to temper. ]

Does it hurt? I have a numbing agent in the kit. Can you carry Mugen? If it's too heavy right now, I could use your coat and bring it to your room.

[ no direct touchies. he saw kanda gritting his teeth through his murder's trial every time it wasn't lavi. ]

[He doesn't react to that expression--he just waits to see what Caelus will do or say, not unlike a cat slowly flicking its tail back and forth. Not angry enough to claw or bite, but absolutely capable of doing either.

This is acceptable, though; the fussing is annoying, but it could be worse. Even so, he raises an eyebrow. Caelus is the one who told him not to go anywhere unarmed, so:]

You want me to leave here?

[He would've thought Caelus would appreciate that he's camped out by the spring for once instead of just fucking off to the woods or the blood tree or whatever]

When you can't defend yourself right, I want you to use the healing tools available or to at least be in your room.

[ the apartment complex might be haunted, but it's less open to pyramid heads and big daddies and whatever else sometimes roams the graveyard ]

It's not a different standard, either. It's what I did when I couldn't see.

[ unlike CRUMBLING OUTSIDE ]

I could still kick your ass like this.

[Listen. It doesn't come out that often but even he has his pride

But by this point he's pretty sure his body isn't going to get any worse than this, and his room has a door with a lock, so. He watches, unflinching, as his wrist pieces itself back together, then ties his hair up with a sigh.]

Fine. Let's go.

[He'll carry Mugen and his coat himself, but Caelus can walk with him. Fortunately, he doesn't seem to be in pain from this effect (though, granted, it's kind of hard to tell with Kanda)--he moves a little more carefully, but otherwise, very normal.]
