His head throbbed with pain as Alida began to chuckle, but that laughter was short lived. "Izu!" Alida called out in alarm when she realized he was actually hurt, recovering quickly from her surprise and hopping off the counter. She quickly dropped next to Izu, biting her lip in worry. There was a bit of blood on the back of Izu's head and Izu was flailing about a little bit as he let out of a hiss through clenched teeth. "Fucking cat! When I get a hold of you..." his voice trailed off, a few more pulses of pain taking his thoughts off of Marmalade. In hopes of dulling the pain, Izu quickly gripped at his head a little harder. This was a pretty bad idea though, because it caused an even worse surge of pain in his head.<br/><br/>The young man bit his lip and let out an anguished groan, causing Alida to turn her attention back to Izu. "Izu, stop moving!" she reprimanded gently as she grabbed his wrist with her slender hands. She pulled him forward some, taking his hand away from his head. "Izu alright?" she asked as she inspected the wound. She doubted he felt all that great, all things considered, but she had asked out of reflex. Through grit teeth, Izu hissed his response into Alida's chest. It was pretty obvious how he felt at that given moment. "Izu stay here. Alida fix," she said as she stood up, stepping over Izu to get to the bathroom closet. When she opened it to grab the medical kit, everything seemed to fall out all at once and bombarded Alida. She threw her arms out in effort to catch the items, but failing miserably as it was practically a bathroom avalanche. The clattering of items seemed to last a solid minute before everything settled at Alida's feet.<br/><br/>Alida gave a sigh, dropping her hands and cutting a glare at Izu. "Izu said he would clean closet..." she grumbled. The young man looked up from the ground, his irritation abundantly apparent. "And you said that you'd keep the cat from going into the refrigerator when we open it, yet she still climbs in like it's her own personal vacation spot!" he howled, clenching his head again. With another sigh, Alida bent over to pick up the med kit, pushing away everything with her feet as she made her way back to Izu.<br/><br/>She pulled him forward once more so she could look at the wound and was a bit alarmed that there was so much blood. "Izu..." she started a bit worriedly, "Izu...might need staples..." she finished. Izu groaned a bit in response, "Better let me look before we rush to the hospital..." Izu stated, trying to calm himself down and bite back the pain. Alida, while she had good intentions, was prone to blowing things out of proportion. She often jumped to the worst possible conclusion in the least amount of time, this situation was probably no different.<br/><br/>"Can Izu stand?" Alida asked as she gently pressed some gauze against the wound, then getting a wrap to put around his head. Izu stopped her before she could wrap his head up like a cocoon, giving a small nod. "Probably, but let me sit for a little longer..." Said Izu with a little bit of a sway to his figure. "Izu feel sick? Izu dizzy?" she asked as she tilted Izu's chin up to look at her. Izu simply shrugged, then forced himself up to his feet with a little assistance from Alida. "I don't think we need to go to the hospital for something like this," Izu stated, walking over to the sink so that he could use it for support.<br/><br/>Izu had to remain calm, if not for himself than at least for Alida. She was likely to start blowing things out of proportion if she saw him show just how much pain he was actually in. That being said, this wasn't his first ever head injury. He knew they happened to bleed a lot, but they also tended to heal quickly if it wasn't serious, which his injury likely wasn't. "Alida, get me some pain killers...." Izu requested, turning around and making his way to the shower, turning it on.
