[ The pain surged throughout his physical form. Where an arm and a good chunk of body once was now hung only tattered bits of cloth and a gloved hand gripping the gaping wound. The staff dropped to the ground with a clatter as he fell to his knees on the Astral Plane. Seething in pain his body hunched over, allowing his violet hair to fan out on the ground. Up and down his back moved, gasping for air through gritted teeth as blood trickled down the corner of his mouth.

His cloak tattered from the attack so graciously caste upon him by Gaav, Xellos was unaware of the fact that this trip to the Astral Plane was unlike any other he had been to before. All of his attention was focused on the pain that surged through this human-like body. But anyone watching would notice that there was no sign of blood seeping from the gaping injury - not a single drop. Instead there was nothing but nothingness.

No, really, it was black and empty, void of all physical being. ]

D- damn it... !

[ All the while he grunted and cursed the Demon Dragon King for this. It was going to take time to heal this injury, let alone grow back his arm. Had it not been for the fact that he had recognized the Hellmaster back in the physical plane, he certainly would have been a goner. But his task was finished the moment he caught sight of Phibrizzo.

And here he was, writhing in pain, blissfully unaware at first what was going on around him or the fact that this astral plane was not the one from his own reality. ]

My, my~ That's a pretty terrible wound, but no blood at all? How sad~♥

[ Eyes snapping open at the voice, he sits up immediately only to mentally cursing him for doing so as another wave of pain surged through his being. There was someone else on the plane? But only ones like himself could-- Gritting his teeth he only stared at first before forcing a pained grin on his lips. ]

W- well now, and here I thought I could have a little quality time to myself... !

[madamemoiselle]

Not here, you can't! Lots of people can come here, after all. It's not a lonely place.

[cankeepasecret.livejournal.com]

[ His expression faltered for a split second, his hand gripping the gaping space that used to be a good piece of his body. This wasn't the Astral Plane - or at least not the one he was familiar with. It felt different. ] I... I see.

[madamemoiselle]

Not quite what you were expecting, I suppose. I haven't seen you here, so you must be new. Ne, but I've never seen someone arrive in quite this shape!

[quickcleanpure.livejournal.com]

Ouch.

[cankeepasecret.livejournal.com]

[ Barking out a laugh, he just looked up at this guy with one eye open. ] To say the least.

[quickcleanpure.livejournal.com]

But you're not bleeding. [Which is pretty fucking weird, actually. What's up with this guy?]

[cankeepasecret.livejournal.com]

Apparently, I am not.

[quickcleanpure.livejournal.com]

Most people would worry about that.

[OH MY GOD

OH MY GOD

OH MY GOD]

Y-you're—!

['Are you okay?' is not a valid question. Um. Um. Um. Emil fumbles with something. It's a Gel. Because, you know, that's the best thing he has for a guy who is MISSING HALF HIS BODY DGHJSGKKHSHJLFDKDJK. In the meantime, Emil is crouching by his... uh... good side.]

Is there anything - I -

[... Emil looks like he's about to faint, actually.]

[cankeepasecret.livejournal.com]

[ If it weren't for the fact that half of his body had been blown to smithereens he would have been laughing at the boy's fumbling, panicking display. The most he could manage was a pained grin when he chuckled. ]

O- oh... don't trouble yourself!

[ He had been concentrating on his black magic spells to reform his body - it was taking some time though, especially when one took into account that this wasn't his Astral Plane so he's still wtfing over that. ]

I'll be good as new soon enough!

[pactum.livejournal.com]

G... good as... new?

[Oh god. Oh god. He really IS missing half his torso. Oh god. OH GOD. Emil turns away suddenly and claps both hands over his mouth. HRK.]

[cankeepasecret.livejournal.com]

[ The urge to laugh was so very tempting, but he had his priorities set up properly of course. Reverting to his true form would quicken the healing process. However, it was bad enough that so many were seeing him like this - for now he had to rely on his abilities in this form to regenerate the missing pieces. ]

I just.. need some time, t- that's all!

[pactum.livejournal.com]

T— !!

[Okay, it's too much. Emil curls into a ball over his own knees and goes oddly silent.]

[Carnage brings twins; this one is idling before catching sight of Xellos, and the only indication of interest is that One's face is turned towards him. He doesn't move, nor fidgets like would be expected of a metaphorical jackal on the outskirts.]

[cankeepasecret.livejournal.com]

[All of this commotion and constant interruptions to his concentration was a little grating on the mazoku's nerves but his focus was on the injury. The fact that he was being watched did not go unnoticed though, even if he did not react to it - he sensed someone was observing him as he concentrated on healing.]

[whitestlotus.livejournal.com]

[ That doesn't look painful in the least. ]

Need any help there?

[cankeepasecret.livejournal.com]

[He chuckles, albeit roughly, cracking one eye open to look up, breaking his concentration yet again.]

--I'll be fine.

[whitestlotus.livejournal.com]

Really? You've got... half of you missing.

[cankeepasecret.livejournal.com]

Just a bit of rest and I'll be good.

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

[Just give her a moment. Horrible carnage...well, looks like carnage, maybe...okay, part of the guy's body is just. plain. gone. Which isn't good or normal or anything.

Ah, there's the internal keysmash.]

Holy crap! Hey - do you need a healer?!

[...Never mind that it isn't possible to drag her healing-spell-spamming pals onto the Astral Plane.]

[cankeepasecret.livejournal.com]

[His attention previously on the injury, Xellos had managed some headway in regenerating what was lost. Namely, most of his shoulder had been repaired and now he had started on his arm.]

Oh don't worry about me -- I'll be good as new in no time.

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

Good as... [Hmm, is it just her or is the injury less...there, now?]

Uh, right, then.

[cankeepasecret.livejournal.com]

[Oh don't mind him-- even when half missing he likes to be an ass.]
