[ another hit with the sword, and yin yu manages to duck underneath neena's hand--her strike backwards connects, lancing across his nose as he narrowly dodges getting a painted nail in his eyes. finally, she starts to collapse downward, and he rips his knife free and shoves an elbow into the rapidly deflating thing's chest so it falls away from him.
distantly, he can hear the sound of splashing around behind them, the sound of a voice he doesn't recognize shouting, but, there's a weight at his feet that's not 'neena'. there's not much time to think, and his body moves an autopilot as that pink thread keeps pulling--he shoves the knife into his belt and ducks downward to grab flayn and scoop her into his arms, hand pressing against the wound on her side. he needs to get to lili, needs to not move flayn too much. by the time he takes a step forward towards her, the world is practically melting around them, and when he reaches out, the knife that he'd grab nearly leaps out of his belt. yin yu makes a grab for it, and it twists, stabbing downward into his hand. he barely has enough time to avoid getting pierced through, and then just like that, they're standing in a cabin. flayn's still propped in his other arm, the other person is gone, neena is gone, and -
