[So amidst all of the insanity? The kraken attack and the craziness? There is Minato making an oh-so necessary broadcast. He seems to be leaning against the side of a building, but despite the crashing of what must be tentacles and the panicked atmosphere, he looks pretty calm. Is that blood on his temple...? Oh maybe. And he might be holding his torso, but details.

Crash. He blinks, glancing up for a moment, before shaking his head slightly.]

It seems like the kraken's tentacles completely surround the bubble. If you're looking for a safe place to go, the caverns beneath the church's ruins should be safe from the tentacles. At the very least, the people who can't fight and the injured can go there.

[A breath--is that a wince? Nah, can't be.]

If you need any help, let me know. The Defense Force should be able to help.

[That's what they're for, right? Another flash of a wince and he sets up a filter.

Filter to: Defense Force ~~you know who you are~~]

Focus on the center bubble for now. We have to take care of the people who can't defend themselves. Will anyone volunteer to keep guard underground, in case there is something still down there...?

[Filter to: Hubert]

Hubert-san. Are you alright? I need your help with something.

[Filter to: SEES/all of you P3 people]

Stick together. We know that we can take them on together, but separating is too dangerous.

[It seems like common sense--but he remembers what happened to Aigis, So he just had to be sure. And then he turns off the filter and--fails to turn off the feed. He is looking around when a tentacle crashes down nearby. He jumps, cringing in what seems to be pain and slumps back against the wall, dropping the SFC. Clatter clatter.

[...]

Sometimes we have to fight for the things that are most important.

But you know that, Tiir-san, don't you?

... Of course. I've been fighting all my life.

[And there—he spots him.

Jumping off the building he was on, he lands gracefully next to Minato. Surprised to see him?]

[He blinks, a little startled, but when he tries to move he just ends up sinking back to the ground, expression pained.

...

...]

Tiir-san...?

[Inwardly, he wonders what the hell he's doing, but he's already here, so...

With a frown, he extends his hand.]

Let's go. You're a still target like this.

[He is silent for a moment, but he doesn't hesitate, taking Tiir's hand unflinchingly.]

Alright.

[And he lets the other help him up, wrapping an arm around his rips but otherwise following as steadily as he can.]

Where...to?

[There is something incredibly surreal about this, and he's not sure if it's the part where he's actually helping a human or the part where a human is accepting his help.]

That's your decision.

[For Minato...it's normal. He understands the significance, but he does trust Tiir...so he bows his head and answers slowly.]

Are you familiar with the pirate ship...?

I've seen it before, yes. That's where you want to go?

[...a quiet breath.]

If it...isn't too much trouble. I would...appreciate it.

I wouldn't waste my time taking you somewhere pointless. Let's be off, then.

[He merely nods quietly, trying to steady himself to walk on his own. And then he starts to walk, step by painful step.

Sorry, Tiir, this might be a little slow. But he's determined, at least.]

[And Tiir's hardly about to give him any encouragement, so. Instead, he stays on guard, keeping an eye out for any threats.]

[It's a silent sort of support, though--

And he appreciates it.

So he focuses on making his way to the pirate ship where he knows Aniki waits, and if not Aniki, at least a place where he can rest safely.

...though maybe he should make sure Tiir and Aniki don't meet...]

[Fortunately, Tiir is ignorant of Minato's thoughts—not that he would've cared, anyway. Confrontation means nothing to him.

... If anything, it's rather tempting to take advantage of the chaos again and feed on someone, but mind on matter. Right now, he's... escorting a human, as ridiculous that sounds in his head.]

[...Indeed.

Either way, because of this, when they have reached the entrance of the ship Minato catches his breath slowly, stopping there and nodding to Tiir.]

T-thank you...This is far enough. I'll be fine from here.

Very well. Try not to die; I'd rather not have wasted my time here.

I won't die, thanks to you.

So...thank you, Tiir-san. And take care of yourself as well.

The gratitude of a human is worthless to me.

[Aka don't get the wrong idea from this—]

... And yet again, you seem to forget. Need I remind you that such a sentiment is pointless on me?

[Or rather, he can't accept it as sincere.]
