( Realistically, Mika knows there's not a lot people could've done to triage that situation - feeding him blood to address the frenzy isn't very effective when your neck has a hole, but healing him when he's about to frenzy is a risk. Still, Mika can't help but fuss anyway. )
Range works. Yamato's idea wasn't bad, either. Knocking out everyone involved first might be a middle ground until you can manage ranged healing.
It's worth the risk. It's that or hunger frenzy - and you guys got the frenzy.
( ...
Though, )
... The guy with the hat did come around to put strengthen charm on me. He said it'd stop me if I frenzied, but I wouldn't put all my eggs in any basket.
He doesn't have a heartbeat, like me. I don't know if that means he's undead like me, though.
( Vampire? Zombie? Mika only knows about vampires, so he has no idea what else would qualify. But if he's a vampire, he doesn't think he likes him (Mika prejudice mode activated for literally no reason). Still, he knows he can't say for certain either way. )
... I can hear your muscles twitching and your blood's flow. The way your guts move around and your bones shift. And pretty much everything on manor grounds. Not everything's distinct, but I could pick out a scream, for example.
( Very easy, since he lacks the capacity to want to interpret any of these sensations. It just becomes white noise. )
The only distracting thing is the sound of blood. And when a person's pulse quickens, their blood flows faster... it's like the aroma of freshly-baked bread from a window. It's hard to ignore.
[His pulse does quicken, if very, very lightly at that news. It doesn't cause much of a facial reaction other than more of the same exaggerated grimacing.]
...So all that was setting you off even more, huh?
( Reflexively, he swallows - he's never not at least a little hungry, this being a curse and all, but at least he can hold himself back right now, mostly.
He doesn't seem happy to admit it, but: )
... Yeah. The whole thing was like a buffet. I was trying to get people away, but... I couldn't say anything.
( That was a quiet, but extremely frustrating thing for Mika - being powerless to tell people to get away from him, to explain what he was probably going to end up doing. All he could do was shake his head and try to push them away, but to no avail. It was fortunate the feeding ended up happening in a controlled way, but it was one slip up away from going really badly. )
... I remember I wanted to drink from you, too. Your pulse was so quick... and you were close enough to bite.

... He was pretty hurt. ( ... But... ) I didn't see anything except the injuries from... those icicles, I think.
( So Malice gets to live another night... for now,
He sighs. )
... You shouldn't have been so close to me during all that.

[He is not going to just blast everyone with offensive magic. That is probably a poor idea, even if everyone's now Wizard.]
I guess I'll just leave that part to him next time.

I didn't notice... but I don't exactly try to spend time with him, either.
[Weighing his curiosity about this mystery versus.......... interacting with him......................]
no subject
( So, yk. )
... If you do talk to him, be careful. If he's a vampire, I mean. Malice is decent for a vampire, but that's just luck.

[Because Wanderer stuck him in a whirlwind their first day of practice...]
Just how good is "better?"

That sounds like it'd get old real fast... [Too many sounds constantly? Talk about hell.]

He maintains a calm however - breathes a little more deeply to try to deal with the physical part, too.]
...Working on ranged healing it is.
no subject
... Are you scared of me?
no subject
...And, don't get cocky. There's other people here who scare me, too.

... You should listen to your body when it's scared. It's trying to save you.
