And Angeal waits a moment, waits until Sephiroth has left his line of sight, before he shakily sets the knife to the side. He just - he needs a minute. A minute to grind the heels of his palms up against his eyes, tangle fingers into his hair. Breathe. Ignore the distant voice in the back of his head - he's gotten good at that.
Breathe. And then get to work. He can't get lost in his own emotions, no matter how much he can feel his skin standing on edge.
He's needed.
And that's all that's ever mattered.
Considering he only has to grab a towel and blanket, Sephiroth might reach the utter chill of the basement before Angeal. This is because when Angeal finally makes it down, he's carrying a couple more knives on his person, a washcloth, a large basin filled with water, and some bandages. Just... Just in case. "I sterilized the knife as best as I could," he explains. "Can't be too careful. Want something to bite down on?"
