[ Good thing this isn't the first time Noah has come across someone with a lot of blood on them. He puts his hands together, summoning his moon catalyst. ]
Try to relax and breathe, okay?
[ The gem glows with a soft silver light, and he begins healing Nier's wounds. ]
[ This is so incredibly freaky. Noah's panic is stemmed mostly by the fact that he's able to heal Nier's injuries, like how he could with Judai's. As long as his friend isn't in anymore pain, then that's good... ]
You mean you don't remember getting hurt? Did someone come up to you with a weapon?
I don't recall getting attacked by a weapon but...
[The injuries Nier received seem to suggest he was in some kind of a fight. A broken rib cage, several bone fractures and external injuries that look like they were made by blades or something. These are all serious wounds.]
It's common for memory loss to occur when there's trauma or intense pain.
[Niko has her own health to worry about. Nier doesn't want to stress her by telling her about these crazy things. HE HAS BIG BROTHER ISSUES TO SORT OUT.
Okay, he'll agree to get himself cleaned up at least.]
Hmm, yeah that might be a good idea. I hate blood. It makes me nauseous.
[He still pauses thought.]
I'm surprised you still recognized me even with all that.
I can stand, but it still feels like I got run over by a truck.
[Now that Noah has put attention to his clothing Nier looks down at it curiously. He's wearing some kind of nomadic tribe garments. His clothing is tied down with chains and clasps so it may be difficult to remove.]
I'm not dead so it's fine. Are you going to drive?
[Look, he has reasons for being this way....they're not good reasons though. Nier is terrible at looking after himself to the point where things get this bad. He's thankful to have Noah at his side.]
I'll go hide in the camping sheet and take off my shirt. Well, this is more like weird tribe outfit but it has to go.
[Nier takes his top off revealing many cut injures and bruises all over his body. He wants to become a burrito before he takes off the lower half.]
Stuck behind a car with a sheet. I've never been so embarrassed in my life. Sorry for making a mess of everything.
[ Noah takes care to heal up the cuts on Nier's upper body. This doesn't seem like your average assault. His first instinct is to tie it to the weirdness by the [Ava] app. The ominous message of 'survive' certainly ties into putting people in danger...
As he works his moon magic, the crystal travels up his fingers and onto the back of his hands. ]
Much better. Don't wear yourself out using that trick of yours.
[Nier gently pats Noah on the shoulder.]
If it's just a smaller wound I can use traditional first aid. I'll bandage it properly when I get a chance to.
That should help with bleeding and stabilizing pressure.
[Nier sighs. This is really a mess. The last thing that he remembers is very vague. He just turned twenty-one and he was going to school. It was late that evening and when he woke up things were like this.]
[ Nier is shirtless but also the canvas can shield his hot (?) abs from prying eyes, probably. Noah glances absent-mindedly at his hands. The crystallization has progressed further, but for some reason he isn't weirded out by it unlike the other strange happenings. It seemed almost... natural. ]
We'll get you some clothes and then get you home, okay?

I'll be there

no subject
He can sense that his body circulation slowly coming back.]
Huh? Thank you.
[ He coughs up blood once. Nier isn't in the best shape. His entire appearance is different and his hair is more noticeably white.]
I dunno what I'd do without you, Noah. I just kinda....ended up this way somehow. That sounds strange, but it's the truth.

Please don't tell Niko.
no subject
But really, who would assassinate Nier? He's just a normal guy.... ]
But....
[ Noah frowns. ]
You should at least get cleaned up first. I've sealed your injuries, but who knows if your assailant will come back again...
no subject
Okay, he'll agree to get himself cleaned up at least.]

no subject
Nier, you big dummy... you could've died!
[ Judai at least had Jun helping him. If Nier didn't text, he would only have been found by the police as a corpse. ]
Can you stand up? I parked the car... we should just toss what you're wearing and get you new clothes.
[ Noah is not strong enough to be a physical support, unfortunately. ]
no subject
[Now that Noah has put attention to his clothing Nier looks down at it curiously. He's wearing some kind of nomadic tribe garments. His clothing is tied down with chains and clasps so it may be difficult to remove.]

no subject
I am.
[ He'll try to accompany Nier back to his family car. Though, before they get in: ]
I need you to uh, take off those clothes... I've got a camping sheet here that you can use to burrito.
no subject

How do you feel?

no subject
[Nier's worried for Noah more than himself. It's a bad habit he's developed over these years. Other people always come before he does.]
I promise I'll go home once we're done here. Then I have to figure out what I'm going to tell my sister.
Do you have any ideas?
no subject
You'll have to tell her the truth eventually....
no subject
[ The last thing any brother wants is to see their sister cry. ]
I need to pull it together. There's no easy way to tell the truth, is there?
[ No there isn't ]
no subject
[ It's a lose-lose situation. Noah starts the car, driving them to his place slowly. He's sure he could sneak Nier past the maids. ]
Your hair colour changed too. She'll ask about that as well.
no subject
That's not actually a lie. Discoloration of hair can take place for many reasons.
[Still doesn't explain how he has blue eyes and has an entirely different demeanor.]
....I'll do my best to tell the truth. Try not to worry so much, Noah.
no subject
This is extremely NOT reassuring, Nier... ]
If you say so... [ There's some moments of silence as he makes a turn. ] It's not much stranger than me suddenly being able to heal, though.
no subject
What's up with that anyway? Is it a Magic trick?
no subject
[ He's honest about that. ]
I just have a feeling it has something to do with the moon.
no subject
It could be dangerous.
[ It sounds like he's speaking from experience somehow. Nier is a scientist and researchers always enter the unknown realm knowing the risks. ]
no subject
[ Another pause as he checks the road ]
I've only used it when it was really important.
no subject
[ Nier looks down at himself feeling guilty for being in such poor shape.]
This might sound weird but would you listen to me? I vaugely recall something like a memory.
[ He frowns. ]
no subject
[ He's also tangentially invested because he had a similar experience, but he won't say that yet. ]
