Half Blind

Kairos narrowed his eyes as he watched the young man essentially turn into a tree.

It seemed like that would've happened to him if Ling didn't pull him out.

As for the lanky creature, it was still working away doing random things such as stroking the red leaves of the tree or patting the soil. It would be very fitting if the creature began casually humming.

For whatever reason, the creature didn't seem to notice them even though they weren't the quietest or sneaky about things.

Kairos frowned and looked down at his leg. The handle of the glaive he took earlier was comfortably sitting in his leg. With a frown, he began pulling it out. Though he imagined this would exacerbate the healing, he would rather have a weapon right now.

The stress in his mind was still pretty bad. On top of that, most of his mana had disappeared, not solely from casting the spells, but because those black branches had drained it out of him.
