Aqua follows after Raine quickly, careful to not jostle Xion too much. While she does know the layout of the Guild, it's much easier right now to simply let Raine take the lead while her mind is elsewhere, fraught with concern.
Once Raine stops, Aqua gently sets Xion down on her side, keeping her injured arm up and in the light. When Raine assesses the damage, Aqua can feel her gut sink: it doesn't take an experienced doctor to know that foreign metal does not belong in a body, and that the immediate course of action is removal.
The other woman is already collecting the needed tools, so for the moment Aqua kneels down to look at Xion face-to-face. She forces a gentle smile through the haze of worry, brushing back a strand of hair that has fallen in front of the girl's face. "We're going to help you, Xion. It's going to be alright."
Aqua straightens and starts unzipping the girl's coat to pull down her sleeve - they'll need to see the injury itself for this.
