[He's quick to state this, dropping the blade and staring down at his bloody hand. Everything was bloody by now, between the two of them. He's about halfway through that thought, though, when Jean picks him up. His face tenses up and instinctively one arm wraps around Jean's neck, the other grabbing clumsily at his arm to feel more secure.]
W-wait a second, Jean! [Rationally, he can understand that his leg would be a burden in their running away from creatures. But stubbornly, he doesn't want to cause that sort of problem for the two of them. This way, won't they move even slower?
He shifts, loosening his grip on Jean's arm and lowering it a bit, a small shift in his weight trying to keep himself from leaning on Jean's wounded chest. There are too many problems to even register that his pants are still on the ground, right now.] I can try to walk.
[He says this, but it doesn't sound so confident. Even he realizes this, pausing only briefly before nodding in a direction. One they didn't come from.] We should probably move ahead, but if you see anywhere along the way that's possible for it, we should stop to wrap these wounds and rest. If we keep up like this much longer, it's not likely we'll make it out.
