Everything felt as if it were happening at one time. Before he could even manage to embrace his brother in a worried hug, their Kaicho was arriving. And right before his eyes, he watched as Kunai slumped to the ground, seemingly near death. Kuroo's own eyes widened as his heart raced. Thankfully, the dire man who shifted between them was able to take control and direct them. Even with Usagi speaking and explaining, Kuroo stood there, basically in shock. Was he supposed to be doing something?

Oh, yes, he could hear the muddled voice of Sayuri calling to him. Requesting that he help shift Kunai. A gruff agreeing noise left him as he stepped forward. Eyes barely able to leave his sore and injured brother as he turned to assist Sayuri. Gently as he could manage, he helped the healer move the drowned wolf into a better position. As soon as she confirmed he was in a good position, Kuroo stepped back once more and moved his attention back to their Kaicho. Usagi had said his peace, but Kuroo thought maybe if he mentioned something, it would help.

"He and Usagi used to play together all the time back home. He's a good wolf as far as we know," there is a quiver in his voice as he shifts his pale gaze back to his brother. There was a myriad of words he wanted to shout at the other boy. How stupid could he have been traveling on a still injured ankle? How had this all transpired? Questions, concerns, so many thoughts fired off in his head, but he stayed silent. Every muscle taut against his skin as his jaw clenched. As long as Kunai made it out of this sickness safely, he would be happy for his brother.
