"I'll go. As long as someone can keep Aru here and watch him."
"I'll try my damnedest to do so." Galen murmurs quietly, reaching out his hand for his "As long as you agree to something."

"I'll try my damnedest to do so. As long as you agree to something."
He didn't immediately go for his hand, his gaze searching. "What is it?"

"What is it?"
"You bring her back alive." Galen murmurs, eyes tightening in the corners "I don't care what you have to do to ensure she does, you do whatever it takes. Am I clear?"

"You bring her back alive. I don't care what you have to do to ensure she does, you do whatever it takes. Am I clear?"
Nodding, Zay shook his hand, eyes set and determined. "You've my word, sir. If Aru wakes up before I return, tell him I've gone hunting, or was sent ahead to deliver news. Anything to keep him here and out of harm's way."

Shaking his hand firmly, Galen nods at his words, releasing his grip as he steps back "Very well. I will. Fetch a bag of supplies before you leave, you're going to need it."

Letting out a breath of air once they passed through the wall, he followed in silence, paled and strained, looking around as they made it back to camp, and upon hearing Aru's voice, he cursed quietly.
Aru jumped from where he sat, hearing footsteps nearby and started towards the tent flap. "They're back!" he called for Galen, slipping out with a bright expression, though catching a glimpse of them caused it to fade quickly, and it was enough for him to realize they weren't okay before a soldier pulled him back into the tent.
"Not yet, kiddo," he said, struggling as Aru started squirming. "Give them a few minutes."
"But they're hurt!" Aru cried, trying to fight against him. "Why are they hurt?"
"Patience," the soldier sat him down. "Let the commander talk to them, then you can go see them."

"They're back!"
"Not yet, kiddo. Give them a few minutes."
"But they're hurt! Why are they hurt?"
"Patience. Let the commander talk to them, then you can go see them."
Glancing over at Aru, she watches him disappear into the tent, looks down at the burns on her arms and fingers, pauses a moment before looking over as Galen walks over "Commander."
"Malyns. Rogue." He murmurs, stepping out, stilling at the sight of them, starts barking orders "Someone get them to a healer, and destroy that sword."
"What?" Avery asks, tensing, eyes narrowing, fear lacing the back of her gaze "Why?.."

"Commander."
"Malyns. Rogue. Someone get them to a healer, and destroy that sword."
"What? Why?.."
Zay nodded. "When he grabbed Rizuin, he laced it with the shadows they're made of, and Rizuin has a connection to you," he murmured, voice strained. However, he remembered something. "If there's a cleric and some blessed water, we may be able to salvage him depending on how much it's been altered. But there's a chance it won't work."

"When he grabbed Rizuin, he laced it with the shadows they're made of, and Rizuin has a connection to you,"
"No one is touching my sword." Avery hisses automatically, face paling as her grip tightens "Anyone who wishes to try will have to pry it out of my dead hands."
"Malyns, don't be absurd." Galen barks, taking a step towards her, pausing at Zay's words
"If there's a cleric and some blessed water, we may be able to salvage him depending on how much it's been altered. But there's a chance it won't work."
Studying him, he thinks a moment before returning to his original position "If you think you can save the blade, do it."
"I said no one is touching him." she snarls flatly, gaze deadly

"If you think you can save the blade, do it."
"I said no one is touching him."
Another cord was struck in Zay's chest. "Are you that damned determined to be swallowed whole, Avery?" he barked, wincing a moment later as his jaw throbbed and his back singed. He let out a slew of curses, head low a moment before he pulled away from Av for support, straightening only a little. A hand rest on his side. "Either you let me cleanse him or let the commander take him. It's your choice," he continued lowly, gaze sharp but growing relatively impassive. He didn't know what she wanted you what she was aiming for, and because of that he was trying to pull himself away.

"Are you that damned determined to be swallowed whole, Avery?"
Gritting her teeth at the bark, she watches as he curses and pulls away, eyes sharp as she listens to his words "Yes, if everyone else around me is going to act like they are." she grits out, shoulders hunching a moment, gaze hidden at his second statement
"Either you let me cleanse him or let the commander take him. It's your choice,"
"You yourself said there's a chance your cleansing may not work." she whispers, voice breaking before she raises her head, jaw set as she slips Rizuin from the strap at her waist and holds him up, black shadows swirling around her arm slowly "I would rather die then give this blade up. So if you want him, you'll have to kill me." she hisses, barely audible, serious

Zay's gaze slid to her, the irises brighter than normal but slowly fading and they moved to Galen next as he tried to determine his next move.

Catching his gaze, Galen nods just enough to notice before his gaze flicks to Avery, deathly still

Swallowing the sting in his back, the itch and throb of the burns, Zay straightened. "Av, I'm sorry," he murmured, expression turning impassive and gaze chilled as he twisted towards her, a small trail of ice snapping from his feet to hers and snaked around her ankles as he darted forward, an arm reaching across her chest and the other moving forward, brushing over Av's hand to the hilt and snatched Rizuin in a fluid movement. His jaw ticked as the black singed his arm, the blade facing away from them, gaze meeting hers before he jumped away, still as nimble as his rogue side despite his ailments, moving out of the way.

Av, I'm sorry,"
"No, don't-" Avery starts, springing back to get away, crying out when she can't move her ankles, watches in disbelief as Rizuin is yanked from her fingers, trembles a moment, eyes on X'Zayvean before sinking to her knees, hair falling in her face, palms pressed against the ground weakly to hold her up, world spinning
Unmoving until the rogue has the blade, he walks over and slips his hand around Avery's arm "Come on Malyns. Let's get you healed and back up to par." he murmurs, stilling when his hand is slapped away
"Don't touch me!" she hisses, voice cracking as her arm falls back down, fist clenched slightly, shaking "None of you touch me. Just leave me be." she whispers, head bowed as she cries
