Salem turned to look towards Shizuo but stopped when he felt Blitz's grip suddenly tightening on him. He didn't want him to move. Carefully he pried his brother's numb fingers from his shirt and held the appendages between his own, trying to warm them up, they felt like ice still. That wasn't good.
"Blitz, we need to get going, can you walk?" Salem would be lying if he said he wasn't worried about the silent treatment he was being given right now. Usually Blitz would be cursing up a storm. Clouded blue eyes met his before looking down and shaking his head. "Alright, I'm going to pick you up then."
All he was offered was a nod. It was hard to be mindful of injuries when almost every square inch of his brother was covered in blood, but he managed to pick him up without jostling him too much.

"Oh gods Burner." Saki came up behind them speaking softly. She couldn't imagine they would have found him in this state. "We need to hurry he looks real bad." She covered her mouth keeping her gasp from escaping her mouth. "Come on let's get out of here." She held the door open that led into the room. "We need to be fast, but be careful."

Salem walked through the doorway and made his way toward the exit. What was left of the guards were either laying in heaps on the floor or had deserted. They still weren't out of the woods quite yet, being in Water territory and all. Fresh air hit Salem's face along with the afternoon sun. Had they really been down there that long? Hadn't felt like more than a couple of minutes. Blitz seemed to tense in his arms, and Salem sent comforting words his way until he went lax in his arms.
Carefully placing Blitz on the ground the elder brother reached into his pack, pulling out bandages and a canteen. "We'll have to treat him here. Relations between Fire and Water still aren't good."
It was stating the obvious, but getting help here would more than likely lead to even more danger. Screwing off the top of the canteen he poured the water onto a cloth he retrieved from his pack before gently wiping away the blood smeared across his brother's face and down his neck. Blitz did not stir at this action, just simply looked blankly ahead. It was just as he'd thought as he worked to clear away the blood from his brother's shoulders. Most of this was somebody else's...It made him relieved but worried as well.

Shizuo stood over the two looking out over the lake. "Now that he's in the light he doesn't look that bad." He noticed that there were now wounds near the top half of his body as Salem cleaned him off. "That's not his blood, who's is it?"

"Guards I'd imagine, when I found him he was holding a bloodied piece of wood," Salem said, washing the blood soaked rag out and wringing it. "It was too dark to tell, but there might have been bodies in there."
It was strange, why hadn't he been using his fire? Looking down he found two metal cuffs on his brother's wrists. Ah, so that was it...Running a hand through his dark hair the elder brother sighed softly. They'd have to find someone to get those off of Blitz if he wanted to be able to use fire or his spirit again.
Figuring that Blitz would prefer to wash the rest of himself free of blood Salem handed the red head the rag. Why were his fingers still so cold? The pale digits clutched the rag and he tried to stand shakily to his feet, only to sink back down. He probably wanted some privacy, Salem realized, but that was going to be hard to accomplish when Blitz couldn't even walk.
"Let me help you," Salem said, and Blitz didn't protest like his older brother knew he usually would. Quite vehemently too, but right now he just looked exhausted. "You can use me as a lean-to, I won't look and neither will they, okay?"

Shizuo walked off to the edge of the water and motioned for Saki to do the same. "I think the kid is really shaken up. I can't imagine what he's went through." He spoke softly to Saki as a flock of birds flew over head. "You alright. I'm used to seeing bodies like that, but what about you?"

Salem looked down when he felt a tug on his collar. Blue eyes met blue and Salem reached for his pack, pulling out a pair of trousers and a shirt. Unfortunately he had to grab one of his own rather than something from Blitz's wardrobe.
He turned away again to allow Blitz to dress and looked out across the lake at Seaway City. After about fifteen minutes he felt another tug on his collar indicating that it was okay to look again. It appeared that Blitz had also quickly dressed what wounds he could, others still looked like they would need stitching...but at least the bleeding had slowed significantly.
As he suspected the shirt was too big, but it was better than nothing and hopefully it would help warm Blitz up a bit. The younger pulled up the shirt, pointing out a rather nasty looking wound in his middle. Wait a minute...it wasn't just a wound...His hands grabbed a fist full of Blitz's shirt as he stared down at the carvings that adorned his brother's skin.
That son of a-He had actually carved something into Blitz's skin?! Taking out the cloth he wiped away the blood that was beginning to trickle back down his brother's stomach. Crap the best they'd be able to do is wrap it up. That's probably why Blitz had brought it to attention, he wouldn't be able to wrap it himself.
Grabbing the bandages he began to wrap the wound up, until it fit not too snugly around his brother's middle. "It's okay to look now," the raven haired man said, trying to keep his voice from shaking as he allowed the shirt to fall back down.

Saki looked deathly white as she stood next to Shizuo. "I'll be okay." She said meekly. "But thanks for asking." She turned around hearing Salem's confirmation. "How is he, any bad wounds." She kept looking at Burner trying to gaze if he had any significant blood loss. She put a hand on his shoulder and smiled softly.

Salem scrubbed his face with his hand before letting out a shaky sigh. He looked over at Saki when she asked if he had any bad wounds. "There are some that'll probably need stitched to heal properly, but he's not bleeding too bad."
At Saki's touch the teen's flinch did not go unnoticed by Salem as he regarded the way his brother seemed to coil into himself. He placed his hand on Blitz's head, ruffling the matted hair there and was surprised to find him burying his face into Salem's side. It kind of reminded him of when they were little.
"You're really worrying me," Salem said, willing him to say something. Even a curse, he'd be happy with a curse.
"Jus'...freakin' tired..." he thought he heard his brother mutter into his shirt. Followed by, "Everything...hurts..."

"Maybe we should set up camp, or find an inn at the city." She couldn't remember the name, but she knew it was somewhere around the giant lake. "We could get some food there to. I'm sure all of us are a little hungry." Saki smiled trying to cheer up the mood.

"Saki has a point. We should really rest." Shizuo pulled out a smoke and started puffing. "Seaway isn't very far from here, but I'm unsure how we would be treated." It was true that relations between the two territories had been very poor ever since the war. And even before then they weren't that great. "We should be fine if we just stick to ourselves."

Salem being an ambassador could either get them some leeway or get them into some serious trouble. However, taking one look at his brother made him realize that he needed to be to kept out of the elements...Running his hand down his face in weariness the calgor nodded his head in agreement. "Alright."

"We should get going then, come on I'll help burner move." It didn't take long for them to reach the city gates. "Salem I think this is when you come in." He was pretty sure that they wouldn't let Saki, or himself in. They really needed for Salem to pull through for them on this one.

The guards didn't look happy to see them, but it didn't take too much convincing to get them in. Though they were told that they were going to be watched closely. Sighing in relief the elder brother decided to check up on Blitz. He looked like he was about to pass out.
"You okay Blitz?" he asked gently and received a stubborn nod from him.

"Come on we should get the kid moving." He helped him walk keeping an arm under his. "He needs rest, and a doctor. Where can we find one here." He had to admit he had never been to Seaway before. "No one likes us here so we should hurry." They were already getting dirty looks from every direction.
