[Well. That's a way for Noel to stop in his tracks. He might not be the biggest fan of Machina but with recent events he can probably call Izana a friend.
So, quietly, the concern clear-] What happened...?
[What is his life when he's telling Noel of all people? Or when his brother actually thinks that it's better to almost get killed again over Machina getting hurt.]
He took a hit meant for me. Broke some ribs. Maybe nicked a lung.
[He'd sigh from exasperation and frustration, but he's too damned exhausted.]
[Damn. Noel is quiet for a second. His concern is still there and he wants to know more about what happened but he figures he won't get that far with Machina.
Plus, he sounds tired. Noel isn't so much of an ass to push more.]
I'll take care of Chichiri, tell him not to worry. I've got it taken care of.

[Hard swallow. He's not even crabby right now. Just wiped out. And scared.]
I'll tell him.
