cw: gore, organ removal

[tealeafs]

[ Chizuru has lost all sense of time and place. It feels like she's been here for an eternity, though it's probably not the case - just the experience by itself making it feel like so much longer, especially when combined with the way her body feels so heavy in this place, and the injuries only making it worse.

Because the girl does look like she's doing really badly. Her skin is pale, and though Vash has at least released her from her bonds already, it doesn't seem like the girl is about to stand up on her own legs. She just sits there, half-crumbled on the ground.

At least the source of her lack of energy is probably pretty apparent, since there's a wound on the lower half of her torso, not super big, but cut open wide enough that there's just a gaping hollow inside of nothing where there definitely should have been one or two organs. And yet it doesn't seem like the girl is dying - instead Chizuru mostly just looks really tired.

Especially in the way she turns her head towards Vash very, very slowly, like it takes her everything just to move a tiny bit. ]

.. you're hurt.

[ It's all she slowly manages to say. You know, as if she isn't hurt as well, and probably worse off too. But she can still see the way blood spills on his end too, landing on her, carrying an odd but kind of nice scent. ]

[There is certainly something alarming about looking at a hollow with no organs--but perhaps it is the fact that she is lucid, her eyes not clouding over with that glaze that precedes death, that keeps him from panic. Distantly, a part of his mind notes that a human could not survive such a state. She is something like him, humanlike in appearance but distinctly otherwise. Some time later, he'll be able to wonder what.

In the meantime, Vash simply shakes his head.]

I'm alright. [Read: he's conscious and can still move, which is Fine by Vash standards] Can you stand?

[tealeafs]

[ Usually she would protest the first part of what he's saying a little more. Because if he's hurt like this - then he clearly can't be alright, and Chizuru has met just a few too many men in her life who tend to say they're alright when they clearly aren't to not be suspicious of Vash's current state.

.. but it's not really the situation for it, huh. They might not have the time for it. Maybe. Chizuru's sense of time has been completely messed up by the situation she's stuck in, but something does tell her that they shouldn't linger here. That if she doesn't get away from this place now, she may be stuck like this forever.

So she slowly shakes her head, rather than questioning the state of a stranger when he seems to be trying to provide her such kindness here. ]

No.. [ She hasn't tried, but on the other hand, Chizuru's body feels so limp even to the girl herself that she can already know, even without attempting to stand. ] I.. um..

[ She slowly breathes in. Even though the girl doesn't look like she's dying, she certainly doesn't seem to have a whole lot of energy. ]

Even just.. moving a little bit. T-That feels.. hard. [ She admits, honest about her condition. It's the least she could do if he's truly trying to help her. ]
