He hadn't gotten to him in time. He supposed that wasn't really why he was following him around, though, huh? Kai was supposed to be planning his own attempt on Shi's life, not halting every other that was made. And yet here he was, clinging to the witch like his own life might depend on it, thank god Shi was fucking out of it. Before he let himself get caught up in his own emotions he started to move Shi out of the public's eye, knowing if he really dove into them the other personality was sure to come out and he'd be fucking useless in a situation like this. He didn't take it as a great sign that Shi wasn't healing himself, watching as the witch went in and out, leaning heavily on him for support. Blue eyes widened and his hand wrapped lightly, but quickly around Shi's shaky fingers, internally screaming that he knife needed to stay where it was. Hand letting his go the moment it fell from the weapon. When Shi answered his internal thought, he blinked. had he spoken out loud? He made a mention note to dig a bit later, maybe push a few buttons to try to get answers to questions that were beginning to surface. Though, it was irrelevant right now. It's not like my life...ever mattered... Kai could have fucking stabbed him, himself, right then and there. "You're a fucking idiot." Fingers dug into Shi's skin now, knowing the other would barely feel it as he was siphoned - too far fucked for it to even matter at this point. Kai was still careful to not overdue it, immediately turning that power back on its owner and at least managing to heal the wound enough to pull the goddamn knife out. Okay, what now? Kai usually did the stabbing, he never really stuck around for clean up. Not that he didn't know how to dress a wound, but it wasn't like as a murderer he bother to carry around a fucking first aid kit. Fuck it. He stood, dragging Shi up with him and heaving him over his shoulder in an effort to support his weight in a way that didn't...hurt as much. He figured this way he wasn't directly touching his wound, though it was a little unceremoniously. "My apartment isn't far from here and you're out of immediate danger." Though he was still bleeding quite a bit, Kai having no doubt he'd have to get rid of these clothes. "Try to stay conscious, use the pain."
