Haku relaxed letting go of his baton.
"Heh, just making sure."
He mumbled, pain heavy in his voice. He groaned and winced as he held his side doing his best to stand up.
"I seems to me I need to get more training in. Working the desk has made me weak."
He said standing up to his full height. He hissed sharply at the pain.

She ran the flat of her blade along the cleanest part of her shirt before sheathing it, silently reminding herself to clean the sheath and blade both later. Then, she moved, and without asking for permission, slipped under his arm to support his weight, allowing his arm to drape over her shoulders. She tensed slightly at the contact, but wrapped an arm around his waist so he could lean on her.
Then, without saying a word, she glanced around to survey the scene around her.

Haku welcomed the help, it still hurt but with someone else helping him keep weight off his broken ribs it was at least easier to breath. The scene around them was chaotic with their own men running to and fro arresting conspirators and helping the wounded. It wouldn't be long before the two were approached by one of their men.
"Set up a Medical tent immediatly and start treating the wounded, anyone that can still stand or aren't in any danger get seen last. Make sure to take care of anyone bleeding first. Also prepare some Psychiatric help. There are going to be a lot of people in shock. Go now!"
Haku would order and winced again.
"Ok, now, lets find somewhere I can sit to catch my breath right quick. Would you mind assisting me?"

Lorelai gave a light shrug, careful not to jostle his arm, and began to move him away from the crowds gathering and the wounded. She looked around to find Soni, and nodded in her direction, before she moved Haku away and somewhere safe.
There was a bus stop nearby, complete with a shield that would keep them out of sight and away from chaos. She nodded twice to it before beginning to move him towards the bench hidden away in the colorful shield. No busses would be coming this way, after all.

Soni's eyes frowned at the sight of her once potential captive getting away. Nevertheless, she was glad for it to be over.
The young woman let herself go down onto her knees, her hands wresting on her thighs. She took the mask off to allow for a little more free breathing; though still a little uncomfortable about it, she knew that no one whose opinion was respectable would be appalled.
Though it had been so long, she could still remember how easily Qi usage came in the other world. Here, it was quite the chore. It would be nice to one day use her abilities freely, without a sandwich bag of painkillers near her, but that day existed only in the far future, if at all.
Taking a big conclusive breath, Soni rose to her feet again. Being on both knees was comfortable for a little while, but not long on the rough pavement. Her gaze set out to find her companions, Haku and Lorelai, but upon inspection of their former space, all that could be seen was a thug on the ground, soaking in a pool of blood. His body sliced open precisely. Could it have been...
Lorelai's eyes found Soni's and directed them to a bus stop, breaking her trance. The sick feeling in the young woman's stomach lingered, though it wasn't as strong now that focus was elsewhere. Soni nodded back to the pink haired soldier and slowly made her way there, making a point not to give in to the temptation of taking in the gruesome sight once more.

Haku took a seat on the bus stop bench carefully, easing himself into position to avoid harming himself further.
"Thank you Lorelai."
He took a couple of shallow breaths and looked around at the scene unfolding around him. Letting the moment of silence to befall them. Then he would turn to Lorelai.
"Are you... ok, Lorelai?"

As soon as Haku sat on the bench, Lorelai slipped out from underneath his arm and stood back up. She ran her fingers delicately across the hilt of her sword, almost lovingly, as Haku turned his attention back to her. She cocked a brow over one eye and then, silently, she nodded.

"Are YOU okay, Haku?" Soni queried as she walked up and leaned against the bus stop, noticing he was a little beat up.
Certainly, she too was concerned for the woman, but Soni wasn't sure if she was ready to talk about her friend possibly killing in cold blood.

Haku looked up as Soni spoke. The young Meta was always so kind. In fact it could easily be said that he grew a fondness for the metas because of her and her alone. He would.
"I'll be fine. Just... a little rusty is all."
He chuckled then whinced.

Lorelai nodded in agreement to what Haku said about being rusty, and stood there in silence, careful to keep a look out for anyone or anything that may be stupid enough to approach.

"Here," she began as she kneeled in front of him. "Let me see what I can do."
Soni closed her eyes and focused on the frequency of his soul. It was a strange process, listening for something without using one's ears; feeling something without one's nervous system. Nonetheless, she had had a lot of practice with this ability since she came to this world, considering there was less violence and more room for physical aid. It came to her now like playing an instrument, she just needed to tune everything for a moment before performing. Though, at this point, she had used a fair amount of her Qi, she still had a little juice left in her before significant pain set in.
Haku would begin to not only feel his body heal, but his very soul resonate, soothed by a tone neither him nor Lorelai could hear.
Taking a slow and calm breath, Soni spoke, "There you go." As she returned to her spot, she continued, "You definitely still need some patching up, but that should numb the pain a bit. Maybe shave a day or two of recovery off." Her hands slipped into her pockets as she smiled with her eyes.
[Qi uses: 7/20
Soul's Song: After spending time with Drake, Soni's learned how to hear the sound and feel the frequency of people's soul's! Due to this she can now create a frequency that is soothing to the soul. Once Soni sings to a person's soul, their body can be healed for 25% of the last attack they received.]

Haku watched as Soni went to work however he did feel this... calming sensation wash over his body. It was soothing, and the pain did subside... he could definitely breath a bit easier.
"Wow... I feel a lot better. Thank you."
He would say to Soni. Then he would shake his head.
"Man... this Qi stuff is really impressive."

Lorelai watched what Soni was doing, then turned her attention outward, keeping an eye out for whatever was happening. She remained silent.

The young woman chuckled; she always found it amusing when people were in aw over her abilities, considering they were so integrated into her everyday life. With a quick shrug, she spoke her thoughts. "I mean it's no more impressive than talking or singing for you. I just had to find a different muscle to use."
With that, Soni looked to the pink haired soldier before her. "Lori, have you been getting rest?" Her motherly tone couldn't help but reveal itself in her words, but it was a genuine concern. Lorelai always seemed so tense; it was difficult to imagine her relaxed enough to sleep.

Haku merely shrugged at the young woman's words. It was something he would never understand. But ever an interesting concept. However, he would look to see if the ever silent Lorelai would speak...
