The merc was screaming and cursing up at the smaller man raining down stomps on him, but there was nothing he could actually do to stop him, not when Kiyo made sure to take out his major joints first. It wasn't until Xero intervened and put the guy out of his misery that Kiyo snapped back to reality, the gunshots like an alarm bell waking him up, "y-yeah...let's go..." he said, his cheeks slightly tinged, realizing how badly he had lost his cool, right in front of Xero no less.<br/><br/>He quickly follows behind her like the lost puppy he was. Without looking back he reaches his hand out, palming facing towards the first merc he had killed. Suddenly the sword still embedded in his head starts to wobble, before unsheathing itself from the man's skull and flying back to Kiyo's hand. He gives it a quick flick to remove the blood before carefully sliding it back in its sheath, all while following along with the others. When they made it to the alleyway he wasted no time attending to Xero, wordlessly slapping away any attempts to resist as he pulled out a small needle gun and shot her bullet wound full of medi-gel. It would sealing it up the hole and numb the pain until they could give her proper treatment.<br/><br/>When their ride arrived Kiyo took a step forward, but stopped when he glanced down and saw his sneakers were covered in blood. He did his best to wipe them off on the alley cement, before sliding into the back beside Evie, "huh?" he muttered when Evie asked if he was ok. He was confused at first. Of course he was ok, he hadn't taken a single hit the whole time. If anything she should be asking if Xero was...<br/><br/>Then he felt her thumb rub across cheek, and it clicked what she meant, "Oh...yeah...I'm fine..." he said, blushing again, "Sorry" he added. It wasn't for the act itself. He knew that, perhaps Naomi aside, none of them were squeamish about violence, far from it. However the problem was he had lost his cool, which would be bad even on the smoothest op, but when things were already going sideways like today? What if something even worse had happened because he wasn't focused? "Sorry..." he said again, staring out the window so as not to meet her eyes. Though even as he looked away, his hand reached up to grab hers, holding onto it the entire trip, letting her know that him turning away was to hide his embarrassment, not to flee from her affection.
