You may be right. Even still, I can't forgive it toying with our lives so easily.

[He takes Damien's hand, grunting a little with the effort of hauling him upright and slipping an arm around his waist to help support him on the path down the mountain. He doesn't have the strength to carry him right now -- even this is making him dizzy with the exertion -- but it's better than leaving him up here.]

I think there are ley lines in less hostile places. Magical communication is as foreign to me as it is to you, but function over form, as they say.

[He hesitates. It's a difficult thing to even propose, but,] You... may wish to confide in someone, if you can. I've no idea if it will do any good, but...

[he tries not to lean into Akechi too much, recognizing that he's not much better off than he is, but -- but at the same time, he's so damn tired, and the physical contact is nice. it's been since just after Melinoë disappeared, just after Ren confronted him about trying to build a bomb in his anger, that anyone's bothered to touch him]

[either way, after a beat and wryly, he admits:] If it makes you feel any better, I don't exactly remember coming up here. [he remembers why he wanted to, the cold, the phone, but the logistics are a little fuzzy. next time, he probably won't bother coming all the way up here, because yes, form and function and all that, but he's just the wrong side of feverish, at the moment, to be entirely rational]

[and speaking of] You're here, though. [he could talk to Akechi. he has a few things he wants to say to him, actually]
