Shiki's eyes widened at the sight of Linali's... antics. How could she do that?! It was inhuman, to be so fast and powerful, just with one's legs! And on top of that she was a woman... Paixao hurt the swordsman's head more and more. Rin's voice echoed in his head and he grunted, turning to look over his shoulder. His eyes narrowed, but he didn't say anything just yet.

Red eyes shifted down, and he eyed the arm offered. Grudgingly, he limped toward him, and began to head on. If Rin wanted to support him somehow, that was his decision- Shiki would never willingly go into his brothers' embrace, but if it was instilled upon him... he decided, just this once, that he wouldn't retract from it. He needed help. That was all. This meant nothing.

Still, he refused to speak.
