[so long as he has a grip on genya, akaza tilts his arm to get a good look at the damage. the fresh blood scent burns in his nostrils, and the very hunger that genya only just succumbed to makes akaza's teeth ache.]
So let him explain it calmly, and do what you can for him afterward. I'm sure if he intended to have you punished, it would've already happened. [he knows for a fact genya hasn't died about it, because that mark is still present on his wrist, which akaza gestures to.] They're not going to come down harder on their ally for one single fuckup when they've tolerated an Upper Rank this long.
[Thankfully, though the skin is shredded and bleeding, the damage will heal quickly enough. It isn't as if his knuckle bones are showing clean through. He's not that stupid. Probably.]
I will [His words come out as a hiss.] As long as they let me stay, I'm not going anywhere. It's... the least I can do.
[He has his doubts on what they'll let slide but... Genya doesn't vocalize that.]
Calm down, I'll keep them off your tail. That'd defeat the whole purpose, wouldn't it?
[genya you little shit.
... he cares you. and he will indeed be back with a little first aid bundle, which he will toss to genya before heading back outside. to smash some more bugs and fake people. just because he feels like it, and definitely not because he's trying to defend the barn or anything.]
[Considering how insistent Akaza had been about Genya cleaning himself up, he half expects the emon to be the one doing the job. The fact that he tosses the first aid kit and leaves actually goes a long way to soothing his frazzled nerves. A wounded animal doesn't want its vulnerabilities on display, after all. And while it takes some time to properly clean and bandage himself up with his non-dominant hand, it's a hell of a lot better than having a demon lick his wounds.
Eventually he does pop his head out of the barn. The first aid kit is tucked under his arm as he searches for Akaza in the fray. When he does find him, though, well...
... He's Genya Shinazugawa. Thank you doesn't come easily. Throwing the kit at Akaza's head, however? That's much more palatable. Hopefully he turns fast enough for the demon to miss the grateful smile he wears, one barely disguised as a smirk, as he ducks back inside.]

... You look like shit. Get up out of the dirt so we can clean this. [wiggles his wrist again.]
