*Kibaru would then immediately act having expected to be cut, would grab forearm of the arm cutting him. He would also use his uninjured leg to knee Alloces, kneeing at his hardest for when he back up to avoid it to ensure he would hit him at a further range. He would also a just his blade so it was now facing a bit downwards behind Alloces, reading to hit him if he moved back. He would also adjust his bit downwards, but at a further angle. The intense pain didn't hit Kibaru just yet, but he would wince and lean forwards, on his injured leg.*
Efrain
*So. Short and concise. Alloces would regard Kibaru's leg that was still being in contact with his blade with a hint of awe at him not trying to get the thing out. However, a blur of motion from down caused him to instinctively move his head to the side. Kibaru's leg would connect briefly with the side of his face, causing a cheekbone fracture. He would retaliate by ripping the Dao from Kibaru's leg, flipping it so that the edge faced the sky, and slashed upwards in a blur of motion, aiming for Kibaru's extended sword arm. He would also attempt to knee Kibaru back because why not.*
Sharon
*Kibaru would pull his sword back so he wasn't cut. He would also step a bit back using his left leg to stand on and put his weight on. When he saw Alloces' knee conning up, he was quick the react and used his head to counter him by headbuding his knee*
Efrain
*Alloces would watch as Kibaru fell unconscious, sighing and shaking his head to himself. He healed his knee with Touch of Restoration, before hopping on Ventus and leaving the area to explain what the blue wolf had actually been. Kibaru's regeneration would slowly heal himself so he wouldn't die anyways. He would eventually heal his cheekbone after the knee.*
Sharon
*Kibaru laid completely knocked unconscience and laid on the floor wincing in pain*
Thomas
*Kibaru would fall unconscious, but not before hearing some footsteps return towards him, muttering something under his breath. Kibaru's good hearing might be able to pick up some of the man's words as he trudges towards the bleeding berserker.*

"Had to start a fight and just leave him, didn't you... Not like that's gonna make our *Problem* Worse... Bastard undead get to him, that's another joined their ranks..."

*The man crouches down near Kibaru and places a hand on his chest. Kibaru's regeneration would accelerate, the kind of healing that only a true expert would be capable of. After that, he would feel coarse bandages and stinging ointments being applied to his body, an appropriate sensation for the rough "Caring" He receives from the gruff ranger. He would also hear a soft sound, like that of a fox's tail swinging left to right. The man's voice would also sound very soft, a Runran lilt to his words.*

*He picks up Kibaru, carrying the man over his surprisingly toned shoulder. It felt soft and padded, and Kibaru might recognise that the man was wearing a thick gambeson as he trudges back to the village. As he slowly returns to the world of Drase, he might be able to vaguely pick out the ranger talking to an old woman, with a soft, kind voice.*

"Hello, mister Shigeru! What can I help you with... Oh. **Him.**"

"Yes. **Him.** I would've left him to bleed, but... Well, with what's been happening.."

"Yes, yes, of course. You leave the man to me, young lad."

"Thank you... "

*When Kibaru awakes, he would see the man... Who appears to be a black haired, blue eyed Kitsune, with what seems like some overgrown, poorly trimmed stubble, chewing away at a plate of bland gruel sitting on the opposite bed.*

"You're welcome."
Sharon
*Kibaru would wake, instinctively grab for the Katana that would usually be on his wait, but it took him to realized that he was unarmed, he looked at the man still enough that he would seem dead. Waiting before he reacted. It didn't seem like Kibaru was going to attack, but he was on guard*
Thomas
"Aren't you grateful? We save your life, *After* You fuck with us for cheap laughs. And you reach for that bloody sword..."

*The Oriate scoffs as he places the bowl of boring oats on the shelf above him. Now, you can get a proper look at him... And he doesn't look good. He's pale, with deep bags under his eyes, and a weary expression. He looks more like the undead he was talking about than the graceful face of a typical Oriate, like he's been working for days on end without a single break. His body looks poorly nourished, his face gaunt and unkempt, and as stated before growing patchy, ugly stubble. Truly, this is a far cry from Kibaru's relative proud appearance, and is more the appearance of a tired, unhappy creature who would pay anything to escape his current situation. Even his clothes/armour reflects his less than stellar feeling very well, although as a hunter/ranger this is probably more coincidental. A ragged, worn cloak is draped over his shoulders, and brown/green dyed gambeson covers his entire body. He pushes himself up, standing tall over Kibaru, although he takes a while, clearly having a poor current reaction time compared to even most average people... Probably owing to sleep deprivation.*

"I hope you're aware that you owe us, *Friend.* I would ask you for permission, but frankly, I know damn well that you're coming with me. Because, as stated before... You owe us. Big time."

*He folds his arms.*

"We've... Gotten unlucky, to say the least. I'm not sure... Where they even came from, but... I usually watch over these forests, you see. Usually I just hunt, sometimes I cull animals if say, there's too many prey or predator animals... Keeping balance and that. Occasionally I pick off a bandit or two, let them know that they aren't welcome here. Recently, though... I've seen something far more dangerous than that... Some... Kind of horrific magic has found its way here. Undead. Both... Human, and wolf. I try to deal with them, but... They're fuckin' undead. There's a lot of them... And I don't fuckin know how much longer I can take them on alone. So I've looked for assistance. I thought it would've just been this elf called... *Sylvar,* I think. But you... You might be of some help. Because I want these bastards dead once and for all. But I can't do it alone."

*The ranger would seem... Deeply unnerved as he describes these undead. He is used to taking on humanoids and animals, but the walking dead? Gods... He wasn't trained to take them on! How was he expected to take them on alone? He's barely keeping them at bay, although it was digging into his everyday life! The misery got too much for him... And thus, he has requested for assistance.*
Sharon
*After a bit, Kibaru remembered what happened and got a sense of his surrounding as he relaxed a bit* "First of: It was your choice to save me, so don't go and think I owe you... But I am grateful don t get me wrong. As for your problem, I don't mind helping out actually, as a fellow hunter, I understand the meaning of balance and so I shall assist you in finding and ridding the cause of this" *His stomach the crowded and he looked at the man a bit embarest*
Thomas
"Ugh... At least you weren't too hard to convince. Get your ass up. When that Sylvar arrives, we get the plan going."

*The Oriate unceremoniously yanks Kibaru out of bed, before opening the chest and handing him his sword back.*

"By the way, try not the headbutt the zombies' knees. They won't be quite so forgiving as the elf."
Sharon
"Don't worry, they won't have knees to headbutt..." *He said before equipping his bow, arrows and sword. He would the look at the gash in his pants* "She's going to kill me" *He would the hold out his hand* "Kibaru, at your service"
