lobsterbox[ This wasn’t how it was supposed to go.
By all accounts, he should be one of the last people going to war over the throne. And, well, in a way, he was. They were both last picks. Two far flung lines with just about as much legitimacy as far as the people, their extended family, and the nobility were concerned.
He should have just sulked off to Raine’s country. Even being lesser nobility would be better than this.
Staggering away from the battlefield, he held his wounded side in his hand. The blood had already soaked into his glove enough to make it look less like linen and more like tissue paper. He wasn’t even sure where he was going after a point. It was just forest and trees and forest and trees - and then there was a break in the ground.
Genis blinked, looking at the darkened den that was probably a bear’s once, before carefully approaching and slipping in. At least if he died in there, it would be a little less shameful.
A little.
Until he realized there was someone else already in there, white uniform shining in the darkness. ]

He let out a gasp when he finally tripped over his own feet and landed on his knees beside the stranger. Monoyoshi forced himself to sit up as it definitely hurt his back more to slouch. Now they were closer, he was able to see that the uniform definitely wasn't as navy as he had seen them in the beginning.
A trembling hand was extended in the stranger's direction only to drop it a moment after.]
No, you...
[He brought his hands up to his shirt and began to unbutton his shirt. It was slashed through the back but it was something. Monoyoshi winced when he managed to get the shirt off. His thoughts were almost concerned by the stinging and he faltered but-]
I... Please, I...
[Leaning in closer to the other soldier to try to get a sleeve around him only to pause.]
I... I had a bag. If I go get it, we can... We can fix you up.

Genis shook his head, his clean hand reaching out to rest over the other man's. ]
You don't need to do that. I'm fine, really. I'm just a little tired...
[ Yeah, and if I sleep here, I won't wake up! ]
Besides, you need that... You're the one that really needs to be "fixed up" here.

[He would end up abandoning his own shirt as he forced himself up to his feet. Force himself up to his feet. His brain and body weren't quite cooperating the way they normally did, that was for sure, and there was a delay before his body began to shake to start working that out.]
My horse... If he's still out there where he was struck down... My bag should still be there.
