Cyrus felt waves of pain start to set in. He was definitely covered in bruises, and his hand was hit with a deep, stinging pain from the inside. He took a couple of deep breaths.
"It's… it's fine…" he said softly, "I'm alright, I think."
Katya frowned heavily as she looked at him, "Let me help you. I am really really really sorry Cyrus!"
Vida looked their way and walked down to where Cyrus was.
"Do you need help up?" she asked.
"It's okay, I've got it," he replied, using his good hand to grip the rail and pick himself back up. He now realized his knee was in a lot of pain, too, but he didn't want the kids to feel guilty or think they had seriously injured him, so he used the rail to support a lot of his weight.
(I have to leave… I'll be back eventually)
Katya looked up at him with big eyes. He didn't look okay, "Are you sure? You don't look okay."
"Cyrus!" Sparrow yelled and ran down the stairs "oh my God are you ok?"
Uriah and Esmea turned the corner and immediately Uriah flew down the stairs to help Cyrus help. "I told you." Esmea said, but she said it quietly. She then shot a look over to Vida and Katya.
"Hey Cy, are you okay?"
Katya sent a look back. Luna stepped back, Cyrus really did get hurt. She couldn't believe that brat was right, much less that those two were the cause of this. She stood there in seething fury waiting for some sign of okayness from Cyrus to go off onto the two girls.
“I’m fine. Why don’t you kids go on to bed?Cyrus insisted.
He was trying to hide his pain as much as possible.
"Like I said, I'm not the only messed up one here. We are all raised assassins we're all going to be a little messed up. So next time you all shouldn't take a look and realize kid assassins, aren't Angels." Esmea thought more than other are a but more messed up. She knew she had problems and were a bit more troubled than the others. But, honestly she didn't care. She just wanted to show the other kid's true selves.
“I’m fine. Why don’t you kids go on to bed?Cyrus insisted.
He was trying to hide his pain as much as possible.
Sparrow looked at him then frowned "we need to get you checked out."
Luna scowled at all of them, "E-Esmea they aren't assassins. Th-they don't have the background you do, s-so head back to your quarters. C-cyrus, Sparrow, Uriah and I can handle the kids. S-so go get him checked out."
"I bet some of them do have a background like me, I just have been doing it longer." Esmea looked over at Luna, she was still underestimating them. "And I'll go to bed when I want. I'm done here, I warned yo and you didn't listen. Well, bye everyone." Esmea waved and started to walk off. Uriah wanted to go after her but Cyrus was the priority right now, he just hoped she wasn't about to get into trouble.
Luna looked over to Uriah as she walked up to him, "C-Come on, Sparrow can handle Cyrus. W-we need to catch up to her before she does something stupid, like break someone's arm."
"Yeah, go on," Cyrus encouraged Vida and Katya, "It's fine. I'm fine. It was an accident anyway."
Vida held her breath, her eyes growing big.
He sighed. "It was an accident, right?"
With that, Vida bolted.
Cyrus sighed. "I guess we'll take care of this later." His muttered a curse under his breath only loud enough for Sparrow to hear.
Katya bolted after Vida, she didn't want to get caught in the assassins fury. If they had any.
"Language!" Sparrow smirked, trying to get his mind off his pain.
Once he was sure the kids were gone, he sat back down on one of the steps.
"Well, goddamn," he whispered, basically unable to do anything but swear.
He covered his face with his good hand.
Uriah nodded. He walked up the stairs and ran after Esmea. "I'm sure she's not up to anything, but just in case."
Esmea went to the roof, her furry ferret following behind her. "So, now you show up. You can just come and go as you please." Esmea sighed and opened the door. Sitting on the edge she swung her feet back and forth. "What do you think Miki, can we trust them?" A squeak came from the little ferret. "You're right, I'm not sure either."
Luna was frowning heavily as she chased after Uriah. She now felt extremely overdressed for all this running, but what could she do. Both children seemed to be more devious then thought, and she supposed she owed Esmea an apology. Might as well take this opportunity to do so.
Once he was sure the kids were gone, he sat back down on one of the steps.
"Well, goddamn," he whispered, basically unable to do anything but swear.
He covered his face with his good hand.
"Well, I guess to the infirmary it is!" Sparrow said in a fake cheerful voice. She looked st him, wondering how to take him there
"Just uh… support some of my weight on this side," he said, motioning to his right, "And help me up, if you would please…"
Uriah stopped in front of the roof door, which was slightly open. "I just see her sitting. What do you think she is doing?"
Esmea pointed over to the trees. "See Miki, the sun is coming up. We lasted a whole other day, although I'm not entirely happy at where we are, but at least we're safe. For now." She knew the guild was going to come soon, for her and most likely the other kids as well. "Anyway Miki, we only have ourselves. We can't trust anyone." She picked him up and held him to her face. "And if you leave me again, I'll drop you from this building. Got it." Another squeak.
Luna listened in on their conversation, "S-seems like she's talking to her ferret. W-we should just leave her be Uriah. I-I don't think we should bother her."
"Y-yeah." Uriah leaned against the wall before standing straight. "Let's go check on Cy." He walked down the halls still feeling something was wrong, but he pushed it down. "What do you think about what the other girls did?"
Esmea looked to the door and sighed. "Seems like they're gone Miki. Acting innocent is hard work." She smiled and continued to watch the sunrise.
Luna walked with Uriah, "I-I think their hearts were in the right place, b-but they went about it the entirely wrong way. I-I just hope Cy is okay."
