[video][kidnapping plot aftermath]

[hetried]

[Somebody definitely looks more shook up than usual; and those bandages looked a little much for someone that was supposed to be in a fake fight.]

O-- OK. I can get-- demon kidnapping, that's a-- job hazard. I guess. I-I can understand that!

B-But how come I'm the only one that ends up in an actual death match?! Y-You guys said not to worry, but I thought I was gonna d-die--!! Who the hell let--?!

[OK. Deep breaths Daichi, deep breaths.]

I-- Look, just-- stay away from that Sam guy! H-He's one of us, timid-looking guy, brown hair-- he's completely faking it! C-C-Completely! He's like some kind of monster!! I've never seen anything like it before! He wasn't faking anything, he was trying to kill me-- I-I think he seriously almost did!

Just-- stay away from him?! Alright?!

It's fine. ...I guess I just wanted to make sure they didn't hurt you too much before any of the fighting started.

[A slight pause.]

Actually, I'm still not too sure what happened when we were coming down to try and find you, either.

[There had been a maze. ...And a fight. Other than that, it had been too surreal to really wrap his mind around.]

Oh -- ! Sorry. I should have done this first. Can I look at your wound?

[hetried]

Heh-- you guys had a hard time of it too, huh?

[That wasn't really something to laugh about, but it might as well due to be some kind of cheery.

He perked a bit to attention at Lucas' request, unwrapping his scarf as he spoke.] Like I said, it's mostly just a bunch of scratches and bruises-- I think I dislocated my shoulder too at some point. And broke a rib. Or two.

[He did deign to peel one bandage off his arm to show the less-than-pleasant looking scab, though that was mostly because the bandage was coming off anyway.

[a_gentle_boy]

...That doesn't sound very minor.

[He had traveled enough and fought enough to be personally aware of the fact that broken ribs, to put it frankly, hurt like heck. With the healing power of Lucas and Kumatora combined, though, such injuries had largely been dealt with before they could turn into too much of a problem.]

I'm guessing they put your shoulder back in place - that should be OK, but I can try and heal the damaged tissue around it, too. The ribs sound more dangerous...

[He was surprised Daichi could manage to hide it so well, honestly.]

Is it OK if I give it a try?

[hetried]

Eheh... [He tried to laugh it off, but really, Daichi was kind of all about downplaying his injuries when they actually mattered.

So, he...tried to laugh it off. Sort of.]

Y-- Yeah, go ahead. They said the ribs wouldn't be too bad as long as I, didn't get into another fight again, or anything at least....

[a_gentle_boy]

As long as they're in position, it should be alright...

[The last thing he wanted was to regrow Daichi's broken bones at the wrong angle. As he speaks, the room suddenly seems to become steeped in a light, cyan hue; Lucas kneels at Daichi's feet and holds up a hand to the other's chest as his PSI slowly flares to life.]

This will probably hurt a little bit. ...Maybe you should sit on your bed.

[None too comforting words, but he seems to know what he's doing. He stretches out both hands now, and the aura of diffuse light that dances about him is drawn into his palms, collecting into a cloud of silvery, blue... something. His eyes reflect the same color as he glances up towards Daichi with a smile.]

I think you'll need a Beta. Are you ready?
