[ The first thing Sasuke managed to do when he found his feet again was to drag himself to the nearest place that looked even remotely familiar. That happened to be the forest, which looked so comforting to him with its dark tree-trunks and swaying leaves. It had taken much of his energy just to make it that far, fair kimono dotted with blood and his right arm cradled against his chest.

It took the rest of his energy to escape from the very place he had fought so hard to get. Never had he met animals such as those in his life, ones that turned on him with blank eyes and attacked him with no provocation.

The small man collapsed on the edge of the wood, sinking into an exhausted pile of silk and limbs. ]

[The gentle breeze rustled the trees like voices whispering secrets to one another.

This injured mortal, lying upon the ground before him. What worth would there be in dealing with him? Louis was unsure. He had been unsure of many things for a while now. A month, to be precise. Mortals. Like children, even at their oldest of ages.

He knelt carelessly upon the dirt beside him.]

How badly are you hurt?

[He could not even tell if the man was conscious or not at this moment. His reactions would determine his fate.]

[monkeyjump]

[ Why were the trees whispering like that?

Even in this state, that is the first thing Sasuke thinks. Something is up with the forest... ]

I...

[ His voice was hoarse, but he was obviously conscious. ]

Will not die.

[ Which was good enough, at the moment. ]

[starofchaos]

[Good. One who clings to life is still one worth concerning themselves about. It would be far too boring if he had merely said that he was dying.]

If you know where you are meant to live, I can take you there. You will be able to recover in relative peace.

[ Sasuke is not sure if he wants to accept help, but he is in no position to refuse it, either. ]

... meant to... awoke in a strange place, I did.
