Dusk blinks back his pain. The pain making his eyes blurry. Or maybe it was the slowly approaching blood loss sleep. In either case he was having difficulty focusing on the view in front of him. Just for a moment. Then he smiles at her. He leans into her arms slightly. Looking lovingly at her. Kissing the air in front of her face. "I told you...I won't let anything or anyone harm you. Ladon is spending a night in jail. Chibi and I have a sort of...well connection would best describe it. Sent the entire conversation he had with you in a audio email to the police. Pulled in a favor. He and his daddy got a court date tomorrow. Assault and conspiracy to commit murder in the first degree." he explains.<br/><br/>Wincing as he hurt a lot. Blinking and looking at her. "Yeah. I came and I am saving you. See...I even knocked the door down like in one of them super spy action films." he says. Grinning a pained yet goofy smile at her. "I'm fine...its nothing. A flesh wound." he says. Trying to play off his pain as nothing. Not wanting her to worry. Holding her with his free arm. The other having fallen limply to his side. Tired from holding his side. "See...just a flesh wound. In and out one side to the other." he says softly.<br/><br/>Smiling and rubbing her face into her caressing hand. Sighing. "alright. We need to hurry though. Chibi?" he calls out. Smiling as a tiny face pokes up from under the bed. "DADDY!" she yells. Running over and hugging his leg. Looking at Stella "See. See. See mommy Stella. I told you Daddy would rescue us." she says softly. Dusk smiles and goes and sits on the bed. Looking at her lovingly. "I took out the guards and other men. Didn't kill but one. Didn't want to but guy shot me...intent to kill. Hired assassian by the looks of him." he says softly. Sadness on his face at having to have done so.
