[ooc: yeah it's a necessary evil. but yay for days off!]
[He's already pissed off they had any of their company captured in the first place. With no damn idea how it happened! But they're here now. They have to get the Outsiders back to safety so they can start healing and recovering. Luckily the castle isn't threatening to crumble around their heads, but the surviving cultists are a danger in their rage. Soon to be smears across the wall if they get in his way.]
Don't apologize. [Bakugo doesn't want to hear any apology from the dragon right now. It's a waste of breath and energy. One canister of water down, then the liquefied medicine from before. As much as he wants to wait for medical professionals, or even another Outsider with better powers to move Dan Heng without pain, there's no time for that. Who knows when any of them could bleed out from their injuries? They have to move them and get them out of this place. Dank air, cultist elements, any number of things could invade their already-damaged and weakened bodies.]
Aa. Another shitty kaiju. [It's unlikely they'll be doing much with the kaiju. Even if they had managed to slay it, being at the bottom of a winding castle dungeon surrounded by used-to-be-impenetrable mist near a village of murderous cultists amid a vast forest... He doubts even LILITH will want to return and investigate whatever was left over. Take what they can and leave forever. Good. Dan Heng's drinking it.] The rift interfered with all our abilities. They'll come back once we're gone.
[He can explain more in detail, but doesn't want the dragon to waste his energy trying to converse too much. A brief scoff answers that weak attempt at making a joke.] We're never coming here again. [There'll likely be nothing left of value by the time they're away. Suddenly realizing the faux pass he committed, Bakugo quickly digs out another vial of water and uncaps it. Dammit, should've told him what it was before he put it to his mouth.]
It's okay. It's okay, Dan Heng. [He looks into the dragon's eyes, red gaze holding solid and firm.] It's to numb your pain. I have to carry you out of here. [Bakugo rests his hand on his cheek again, thumb soothing across his cheekbone.] I don't want to hurt you any further. LILITH is sending a medical shuttle. I'll get you up there and you won't hurt anymore. [Trying to talk him down from the sudden surge of panic and fear.] I've got more water when you need it. It'll be okay.
three more times and you can get a gumball from the machine!
