The soldiers gathered around the body of Akina, and they gave a cheer to the mages. One of the men raised their sword to stab Akina while she lay unconcious, but it was the last thing he did. Reo's giant hand swept across the ground, knocking the standing soldiers away. Reaching his left hand down, he picked Akina up gently, before he began to feel spells striking him from behind. The mages again.
Feeling the ice forming on him, he turned and shot a fireball at them, before he kicked off the ground strongly, and began flying away. A ballista bolt struck his back leg as he continued flying, and he ignored it. He flew past the Inn, and the forest, until he reached some flat plains with nothing but grass and a small creek running through it. Landing, he slowed to a stop, and he grunted. Placing Akina down by the creek, he rips the bolt out of his leg, and then shifts back to human form.
Limping to Akina, he tugged her helmet off, after undoing the clasp that held it on. He didn't expect her to be conscious, but he knew her insides were probably pretty screwed up from such a strong blast. Taking his gauntlets off, he set them aside, and reached back with one arm. Cutting his arm on Agito, he used his other arm to lift Akina's head. Placing the wound to her mouth, he let the blood go into her mouth. Her being a blood dragon, it would help her recover faster.
This wasn't the first time he'd done this. In many cases, it'd saved his friend's from the brink of death.

Akina was lifted from the ground and taken away from the scene that was playing out. She would be sure to ask Reo about it later. She could already feel herself begin to heal some on the bruises on the inside began to heal up. She moved a little squirming to get away from Reo's arm now. Worn out from the fight she turned over onto her stomach eyes fluttering open only a little. " You taste awful", she muttered up to him.

Reo took his arm from her lips, but he pressed his hand on her shoulder now, keeping her held to the ground. "Stop moving. You could've died." He thwapped her head lightly, before he applied pressure to the wound on his arm, until it stopped bleeding. He looked at the creek, it making only a light gurgling sound as it moved along. They were miles from the castle. "...You okay?"

" you could have died to we are both at the same risk's I just got down before you", she said swatting at the hand that thwacked her head. " Im fine you worry to much", she snickered up to him. " you ok though? they get you good?did you finish em off?", she asked so many questions to see if he had finally finished it for them both.

"I didn't get hit once." He replied to her, lying. He had yet to address his own wounds. "I got you and got out of there. We didn't get many of them killed.." He let his hand get swatted away, and he grunted some, his chest bleeding through his armor. The wounds weren't deep, but he was losing too much blood.
Scooting back some, he began to remove his armor. He couldn't yet reach his wounds until he got the armor off. He'd surely have to clean his armor out, after this.

" Liar", she growled at him sitting up now. " you didnt make it out any better than I did", she said tauntingly. " So maybe I should have stayed awake insted of getting bored to death and just falling alsleep Just so I could save your ass", she said making fun of him now. before getting serious again. " but really are you hurt to bad?"

Reo ignored her sarcasm. "Just a bit." Tugging the chest of his armor off, he tossed onto the pile with his other armor. It was bloody on the inside. He opened his kimono shirt, revealing the three wounds he'd recieved. They didn't go through his rib cage, but it was pretty deep in his flesh. They hadn't stopped bleeding yet. Neither had his leg.
He opened a pocket on his belt, and tugged at some bandages. What good they'd do. They were meant for cuts on his limbs, small lacerations, not multiple chest punctures. He tossed his soaked shirt over with his armor, and began to wrap up his chest, but to try and do it, cause pain, because it meant actually moving the muscles on his chest. He tossed the bandages to Akina. "I'll need your help.."

Akina caught the bandages looking at them as if she had never seen them before in her life. " what do I do with these eat em or something", she said sarcastically crawling over to him. She looked over his wounds before she began wrapping them tightly so they wouldn't bleed more. " You need some rest Reo but you know that im sure", she said trying not to be sarcastic.

"Yeah." He replied with no thought behind it. He was thinking of that castle. He felt bad for Akina getting hurt, but he'd say nothing of it. She'd just give him another blast of her silly sarcasm, and it'd be on to the next fight. After she'd finished, he took the bandage and tied it off himself, before he would get up slowly, and limp to the creek. He kneeled, his kneecaps touching the water and getting wet. He washed his arms of his blood, before he washed his face and stood from it. He glanced at Akina, before saying. "I'm going to get some rest, then. You should too. " He eased himself down onto the bank of the creek and closed his eyes. As tired as he was, it shouldn't take him too long to fall asleep.

Akina watched him for a few minutes before nodding at what he said. " Good idea", she said falling back on her back under the tree and rolling over onto her stomach trying to get comfortable. Soon she was snoring without a second thought a heavy sleeper she didn't even worry about attack again no matter how far they were from the castle.

Reo glanced over at Akina as she snored, smirked slightly, and tried to shove what remnants of pain he had. Soon he fell into his usual light sleep, and he dreamed of nothing but an unbreakable darkness, like wool pulled over his eyes.
He woke at dawn, his wounds sealed and healed for the most part. His insides still hurt some from the magic damage he'd taken, but he would be fine. He stood slowly, and went to the creek. Closing his eyes, he dipped his hands into the water, and washed it over his face like he'd done before. It felt murky. Opening his eyes, the water was blood, and it covered him.
Reosoul awoke, startled slightly. "Neh..." He glanced over at the heavy sleeper, Akina. Looking over at the creek, he made sure it wasn't a river of blood, and he was truely awake. Dreams within dreams. He didn't go wash his face, just relaxed on his back a little longer. He wouldn't force her to wake up early, he'd give her the rest she probably still needed.

Akina still slept peacefully dreaming of all the food and her bed she had back home. her leg kicked in her sleep a little before it stopped and she began munching on the tree root contently still asleep. " mmm rice cakkeee", she purred. but soon something distasteful came into her mouth and she opened her eyes jumping to her feet as she began to stomp on a bug that she had spit out of her mouth. " gahh! Your no rice cake damn it!! ", she yelled.

Reo chuckled at Akina, and he smiled at her. "We'll find some actual food when you're ready to go." Reo moved over and grabbed a couple pieces of his armor. He went to the side of the creek, and began using the water to wash the blood out of it. Reo was silent most of the time while he did this, looking grim, but he kept the same smile on his face as before. "You should clean your's as well." He commented to her.

Akina gave him one of those looks like she knows what he is thinking. " good food?", she asked before pulling plopping down on the ground and unbuckling her armor on her legs. and pulling the top part over her head so she wouldnt have to undo all the little buckles. She knew cheats around all the work. she snickered some before taking a few steps back and jumping across the creek with out Landing in the water. " Freedom!", she said happily. before hoping back over and getting her armor. " Whys it gotta be so heavyyy", she whined.

He couldn't help but chuckle at her bouncing around. He fingered the chink in his helmet from the arrow, and he said to her. "So we can ignore the little human weapons." Plus, it didn't feel very heavy when they were actually fighting in it. At that time, they were so focused on killing stuff, the weight was nothing. He finished washing his armor, and dried it some before he put it on. He didn't put his kimono top back on, it was too soaked in blood to be worn.
He grabbed Agito off the ground, and held it loosely in his hand, the tip trailing along the ground. "Ready to go get some food, Akina..?"
