( He's seen others get up and around after a while so it has to be the same for him, right? When Kousetsu kneels down, he's quiet-- a little embarrassed , really-- and he curls his hands into fists around the ends of his sleeve. Not being able to walk is hard. He wants to be able to carry himself...
But after a moment of uncertainty, he reaches out for Kousetsu, trying to urge his legs to help him just a little more here. Eventually, he does get an arm around Kousetsu and manages a mumble into his back, )
[ Kousetsu doesn't care about any of that. Here and now Mutsu can't walk so Kousetsu will do whatever it takes to help his fellow swords out. Even if it means giving piggyback rides through the temple. He feels the others arm wrap around him and he'll move his own arms so they ease back to wrap under Mutsu's legs.
He's not the strongest of swords but he can lift the other easy enough. ]
Yes. It will be. [ Though after that confirmation he remains silent as he walks through the back entrance of the temple, making sure that not a lot of people see them. ]
( It's been awhile since he's been carried before so it all feels a little strange right now. He's quiet and definitely a little embarrassed but... there's something calming about this too and he wonders if it's merely because of Kousetsu's presence. After a moment, he finally asks, still a mumble, )
I...am fine. [ He's totally lying?! He's blind in one eye currently but he's not going to mention that haha. ]
I am sure that these effects are only temporary. It is not like our bodies to give out on us so suddenly. It is probably another effect caused by whatever is happening.
( Aren't all of these swords the type that don't admit things when they're wrong? Even Mutsu would have kept denying if his own problems weren't so obvious for everyone to see. So there's a second where Mutsu considers asking if Kousetsu is sure before he gives him a gentle squeeze-- a small hug since he's already in the right position to do so. )
Good.
( If he's telling the truth, then great. Alternatively, if it's small enough that Kousetsu can lie about, then it's fine for now. )
Mm... It's been comin` and goin` all day for everyone so it'll pass soon. Ya'll see.
[ Basically, yeah, so they all suffer alone when they could be suffering together?! Kousetsu might pause for a second at the hug but there's a evident smile touching his lips as he continues onward. He hasn't gotten a hug like that from anyone but Sayo in a long time. He finds that he doesn't mind it one bit either. ]
I am sure you will be fine by the morning. But...for now let us assist you in whatever way possible. That is why we are...comrades in arms and within the citadel, Mutsunokami-san.
...yes. I stay true to my words, Mutsunokami-san. [ Everyone knows this?! Although maybe now he should be a little worried, especially at that tone of voice. ]
I do not think you would ask something too outlandish. [ Or maybe he will?! Will Mutsu pick betray?! ]
no subject
I will help you get inside. [ Kousetsu will kneel down then, back facing the other. ]
Please let me carry you to inside the shrine. I will get someone to try and figure out what is wrong as well.

Any way?
( He sure does sound like he's up to something right there. )
Ya sure about that, Kousetsu-san?
