[Way to state the obvious, Celica, but he's going to be ignoring her for the time being as he gets up a bit, trying to help the other girl up (after getting her off of him, though), himself grimacing. It did hurt, but like hell he was going to admit that to someone like her.]

I'm fine, first let's get out of this place, and then we can worry about our health first. But for now... [So he says, grabbing a hold of her hand and stumbling his way out of this crazy...shadow area. Like hell he's going to be around when it does something.]

It's not like we can die again, right? If I had died, I'm sure you would have taken me elsewhere. The perks of being dead once, I guess. [He tries to give off his usual tone, but there's signs that the pain from falling is settling in.]

The question is, how are you Aka-chan? And why the hell weren't you answering me before...?
