Welcome to Gaia! ::

The youma exploded, engulfing the page in a cloud of dust that left him coughing before all evidence of the beast was carried away on the cool breeze.

Baikal had time to sigh in relief, his shoulders sagging, before a small body impacted with his hip and seemed to attach itself to his leg. He moved automatically, reaching to lay a hand on the smaller boy's head, smoothing his hair back before giving his shoulder a reassuring squeeze. For a moment that was all he offered, attention split as he strained to senses to make sure the threat was completely gone, then he was drawing his younger brother back and sinking down to his knees so he could look him over properly.

There was blood on the front of his fuku, under his hand, and Baikal grimaced, gloved hand moving to circle a slender wrist so he could try to draw that hand back. "Let me see." If it was deep, they were going to have to take a trip to the Er, and he wasn't sure how he was going to explain away stitches--or worst--to their mother.

The whole little brother is actually a junior senshi thing hadn't even begun to really set in yet.

One emergency at a time.

Bad, but not as bad as it could have been. He was going to need some patching up, might scar a bit, but they could avoid the trip to the hospital. they would, however, be stopping at the drug store on the way home so Ax could pick up some first aid supplies. The last thing he wanted was for his kid brother to get an infection. That'd sort of be counter-productive to hiding the injury from their mother.

Trying to keep his expression light, the page balled up the end of his scarf and used it to wipe away the worst of the blood. "We'll get you something for the pain on the way back to the house." And something to keep him from bleeding through his clothing once he powered down.

Standing, Baikal drew Cygnus inward to give him a reassuring hug, finally allowing himself to relax a bit. When he stepped back he was almost smiling. "Ready to go?"
