Talking about blood ministers had D letting out a disapproving sound. They likely were very helpful, but he'd go to great lengths to avoid involving one if possible.
"He's in a kind of stasis. I can reverse it when the corruption is dealt with and he'll only be a little sore and weak for a while," D explained as his sword slid back into its sheath with an oddly sweet and pleasing, almost musical sound. He had perhaps been a bit overzealous, ensuring the specific internal damage he caused wouldn't be able to regenerate with the same skill he used to wound vampires, but it was better to do that than risk the man partially regenerating and getting stuck in a state D couldn't undo safely.
He knelt down to carefully lift the man, keeping an eye on Usagi on the off chance she suddenly decided he was more of a threat than a helpful stranger. The red glow in his eyes had finally faded, leaving his irises an impossibly pure and glittering black.
"Unless a blood minister has very unusual abilities, they won't be able to reverse this." While he could tell he was talking with another Sleeper, her concerned and helpful nature led him to believe if she could heal the man on the floor or help purify his corruption that she would. And the fact that her first thought was 'a blood minister' rather than someone specific meant she was likely a dead end for locating more healers as well. There was a slim chance she knew someone with a helpful ability but D didn't view it as worth pursuing.
