[ a first aid kit is in fact something sakura has. nirei had suggested it and suo had made it not a suggestion so much as a 'well here it is, don't forget~' kind of situation. the whole way up, sakura tries not to lean on kaji more than absolutely necessary but it's like with each step his head gets cloudier and cloudier, so when kaji asks him about said first aid kit he just stares dumbly at him at first. then a silent "oh" with his mouth. right. um.
it's in the small bathroom which he sort of clumsily gestures for kaji to follow. or maybe not? he takes it out from the cabinet then sets it on the sink counter, bracing himself. dizzy.
but it's sakura and some old habits die hard. he mumbles, a bit slurred, ]
...'ou can go....'m grateful. But I got it.
[ of course if kaji insists, sakura isn't going to refuse another time, mostly because he can't. ]
[ Kaji follows him, frown deepening watching him struggle. Kaji hasn't always been the best at letting others help him and so it's not like he doesn't understand where Sakura is coming from. He reaches to take the first aid kit, opening it up. It's clear he's not going to let Sakura try to take care of himself. ]
You need to sit down.
[ He's good enough at knowing how clean and dress wounds at least so he can make sure the other is cleaned up. He should probably make sure he changes clothes too and eats something before getting some rest. He takes his phone in one hand and quickly orders a simple meal to be delivered for Sakura, nothing heavy or anything. ]
[ swallowing down a sigh, there is only one more muddled moment of reluctance before a combination of sakura's legs not wanting to work anymore and resignation work together to result in him sitting as suggested. his head bows forward a bit, but that might make it easier to take care of, and even if it's not his intent, he stays still.
because it's mumbled, sakura's voice is quiet and there's a slight frown stuck to his expression, ]
...thanks.
[ his vision swims a little and suddenly he's glad he's sitting after all. ]
[ A long pause before she sends another text, cringing at her other iMessage thread. ]
So my text conversation with him didn't go too well. He thought I was trying to 'suck the magic out of him' in a different context, when I joked about it...
He didn't block me though, which means I got his exact location (great real estate) and a few other things.
