[ Let him rewind all that film back inside Elysium's head first. Also, he would totally be the kind of the guy to use a gun in a close-range duel, but he'll be fair to him even though Hien isn't really a typical sword guy.
So he gets out a rapier. It looks very standard and normal, but there's something weird about it, like how it seems heavier than it looks though Hien has no problem wielding it. Aren't rapiers supposed to be light? That's their thing. ]
"Fancy. I'll make an exception for you just this time."
[ Just a bit of teasing. It's fine.
Then he promptly dashes in for a good stab on the shoulder. ]

[ What is the sensation supposed to feel like, anyway… Still does the thing where he knocks it back in anyway, despite the apparent futility of it. Ugh. ]
Thaaaat's a whole lot of heft. [ Judging by the sound as it slices through the air. ] What, did you condense a broadsword into a rapier just for style? Form over function? Can't say I don't understand. I respect it, even.
[ Anyway. He's a Vanguard. He has one block to his name. Parrying? Not happening. Knocking Hien's sword away? Also not happening. I rolled an 18, so he's going to successfully dodge for now! Immediately following up into a shallow cut along Hien's torso. ]

[ No sensation, but you can totally let Elysium imagine it as a "it's all in your head" sort of thing. ]
"Nah, it's definitely a function thing--"
[ Meanwhile, Hien absolutely fails to dodge it by rolling a 2. Almost a critical failure. Imagine if he accidentally stabbed himself further, but no. Shallow cut get. He doesn't even flinch even though he really doesn't like pain.
He follows the trajectory of the sword and smacks the rapier blade against it. There's quite a bit of strength behind the heavy-feeling rapier. How well does Elysium have a grip on his sword? ]

[ He blinks at the contact, somehow genuinely surprised the strike cut. And with my 2 this time, Hien sends Elysium's sword flying with ease. He spares it a single glance. Goodbye.
Elysium hops back, palms lifted in immediate surrender. ]
Woah, woah, woah. You alright, man? That wasn't meant to actually land.

"It's fine--I regenerate, nya."
[ ok
He doesn't regenerate. Obviously. Elysium's sword though!!! AAAAAAAA
Well, since Elysium is surrendering, Hien immediately puts the rapier back inside the cloak. His hand still feels the vibration of the meeting strikes. Sheesh. ]
"... I mean, it's not bad, nya. It'll heal normally, nya."
[ He pulls out a first aid kit. ]

[ the mental imagery of you just sitting up like MY NYAS ]
Just because you regenerate, it doesn't mean you don't feel it.
[ HE CAN LOOK FOR HIS SWORD LATER!!!!! More importantly, he's approaching to swipe the kit out of Hien's hands. Since he'd only meant for a shallow cut, it shouldn't be too bad…? Probably? Still, he'll lean in to inspect it more closely. ]
I've always thought you were a little off, but what's with the nyas?
[ Respectfully, the bit has overstayed the usual runtime for them, sir. ]

[ this actually happened in the car yesterday after work and this morning so I remembered twice
Hien lets Elysium take the kit. Yes, Elysium probably has very good control over his sword, but sometimes the target happens to lean in more than usual at the last minute because that 2 was really bad. So the cut is probably a little deeper at the starting point, but gets shallower as the cut goes on. I'm going to assume Elysium tried to mitigate the slash, also last minute. If not, feel free to correct me!!
So he's bleeding a bit, but it's fine. Does he need to take his shirt off? He takes the cloak off at least, since it's not affected by the damage. Under it is just a black shirt for the top, damaged from the cut. He is bleeding. ]
"It feels like it gets tacked on automatically, nya."

[ He definitely would've tried to mitigate it… but look how it turned out anyway. A faint, self-directed annoyance radiates off him as he flips open the medkit to assess the damage. He'll do more than just dress it, naturally, already reaching for antiseptic. One can never be too careful.
tmw this isn't the first time i've had to consider sepsis in purgatory ]
Uh huh… So you just felt like doing it. [ a beat, eyes flicking back to the wound. ] I'm going to lift your shirt.
[ elysium's going to wait for implicit or explicit approval, whichever comes first, before going ahead. unless hien insists on stripping his entire shirt for some reason, that's fine, too. ]

[ HELP not the sepsis
Hien just nods. Elysium can do whatever he wants and Hien won't be embarrassed because he thinks he knows his intent. ]

"This is why first aid knowledge is actually valuable. I'm not a healer by any means, not even with most of my powers."
[ He puts the shirt down now that it's done. ]
"I'm not worried about it scarring, but thanks."
[ He's a debuffing DPS not a healer. ]

[ does tobari even know how the river works. maybe not. i don't think he's injured enough to need a full on healing anyway but he sort of watches lemuen throw hien in and has no idea what's going on. unfortunately he's a bleeding heart so he will eventually wander that way after catching his breath ]
Hey asshole! Where'd you go?
[ YOU GOT RUN OVER ]
Hey asshole! Where'd you go?
[ YOU GOT RUN OVER ]
[ Oh no... a bleeding heart tough guy. Hien's favorite type (to bully).
Anyway, he just kinda... floats in the river eventually. Imagine if he drowns in the healing river. That would be funny, but that's enough Fear for the day. He gets himself out, drenched from head to toe. He looks completely fine now, but jesus. It feels like he lost something--
...
Just mutters under his breath "well fuck me i guess" ]

[ tobari really gets so bullied and aggrieved and he puts himself in these situations because he can't abandon people.
anyway he's looking the river over and jogs closer once he sees some movement, watching hien pull himself out. ]
—are you good to stand after that?
[ healing river...? ]

[ his profile is so cute ]
"Yeah."
[ Good as new! Except not really. It's nothing a change of clothes can't fix. ]
"What are you doing here? Exploring?"
"Yeah."

"Yeah? That's normal. Don't get worried about it. I don't die for real."
[ Just waves his hand. It looks like something's on his mind though... Sorry, Tobari. You are a cute blond, but he's having something like an existential crisis right now. ]

That's not reassuring.
[ bluntly
but also, ]
... you good? Besides physically?
[ he doesn't really expect an answer. they just bickered to the point that hien ate a fucking key that kept tobari and the freaks trapped in a cage, but. might as well ask. ]

"An asshole doesn't have to be reassuring."
[ As Tobari predicts, he doesn't get a real answer. ]
"You came in at a rough time... I think the maze is focusing on lust this time around."
[ As Tobari predicts, he doesn't get a real answer. ]
"You came in at a rough time... I think the maze is focusing on lust this time around."
That'd probably be rough for other people.
[ sometimes... you have grown up around sin and don't really think twice about it?
anyway he doesn't really expect to get much more info from hien but he looks like a sad wet cat in the rain so tobari will just shrug off the haori on his shoulders and toss it at him ]
At least dry off.

[ meows at
He gets a face full of haori and. Does he smell good. Smell is the first thing he's gonna notice about this. ]
"... I have a towel, but thanks."

[ i just saw his character trailer and im like ooooh I see
Anyway, he sniffs and takes the haori to wrap himself in it anyway. The warmth of a person... is nice and calms him down a little. ]
"Thanks. I'm gonna call you a cactus."
[ tsundere ass ]

"Do you want this washed?"
[ Since it's now soaked with water from the river... ]
"What are you in such a rush for..."
