[but he doesn't allow himself to hesitate over it for long, keeping up with the bubble's pace with a backwards jog. just standing there gaping dumbly would be spitting at Ciel's feet in thanks for what she had just done, and even if he can't articulate it, this is his inept way of expressing his gratitude. she didn't have to take the time out to shake him from his stupor, and she certainly didn't have to continue trying after it put her own life in jeopardy.
...well, now isn't the time to look a gift horse in the mouth.]
Do something to cauterize that. [it doesn't need to be said and he knows it, knows that she already knows his lucidity has mostly returned and that she definitely knows how to take care of herself. not even blinking at an injury like that, really-- even a stranger could draw that conclusion. he might be playing it up a little in his head without realising it though, empathetic to an uncharacteristic degree over a wound causing the sudden loss of an arm to use.
however, he needs to use his voice for something and he needs to assuage that guilt somehow even if it doesn't, not at all. he can't handle himself mentally right now, but the very least he can do is prevent himself from doing her more damage or putting himself into a position where even the thought of helping Diva would be a distant dream.]
3/3
