Setting Things Right (DCStuck)

Alex nodded at Swift, taking a moment to strech-... Then wincing in sharp pain as he felt a scar open up... Shhhiiiit, that hurt... Groaning, he reached out and grabbed a ribbon from the void, using it to wrap up the wound. This kid MUST have had some means of healing, Swift was likely thinking, because those wounds were definitely scabbing over and seemed to be slowly mending as time went on. It looked like... A type of physical energy..? With a yawn, the thief turned to Swift chuckling.

"You're welcome~... Sooo what are we waiting for? Let's get going."

He opened up a void portal before walking back to the bed, turning his back to Swift and bending down. "You're likely still recovering from the possession. Hop on, I'll carry you the last few steps." There was likely some expression of surprise. "Hehe, don't worry, once we walk through that portal, another one will open up at Evan's place and allow us to walk out. It'll be okay."

Swift only nodded at Alex's offer, not sure what else to add verbally. He was clearly in pain. She didn't have to look at him to know it. The scent of blood was still quite prominent. And yes, she was aching too as the human half of her body recovered from the overabundance of yoki in her system, but she was already getting over it. If anything, her heart hurt more than her body. Enough to make her never want to move again.

She probably could have walked... but hey, he offered.

With a deep breath, Swift climbed onto Alex's back as gently as possible, doing her best to avoid the visibly sore spots.

............

Kindness...

She'd... almost forgotten what that felt like.

Swift softly lean her head against the back of Alex's, finally feeling relaxed for the first time in a long, long time.

He was used to pain, he was used to such feelings in large doses over short periods of time... It did hurt to move... But he was getting past it... He had a lot to thank Yang for in that regard. The aura did a good job in soothing him, in slowly healing up his smaller wounds... The bigger ones, the deeper ones, definitely felt like they would linger... But he knew those too would vanish in time...

He was almost done... Once he dropped Swift off at Evan's that would be that...

He looked out amongst the junk as a slight glowing light caught his attention...

There, amongst the movies, games, furniture, crystal shards and pieces of home, there floated Evan's Quest Bed...... Here it would remain safe... Here he could keep an eye on it..... With a nod, he noted Swift relaxing on his back and wrapped his arms under her legs to hold her in place. Getting up, he then leaned forward, letting her lie simply on his back. As a God-tier, carrying someone took little effort thankfully but... her thoughts were right on one thing as he walked forward...

He was hurting... physically, badly.

Once he got done with this, he would need to go somewhere to relax... And he already knew exactly where he could go...

"Okay... Here we go..."

With the last couple of steps... He walked into the portal, gently carrying Swift on his back as he did.
