Aya:

> "We can certainly ask when she's done, yeah."

Megumu:

> If the indoor space allows for it, maneuver in front of her to block her path, going over her if need me.

Aya:

> Exhale in relief.
> "That's two. Good catch, Momi."

Megumu:

> Frown deeper.
> Zoom after her, grabbing her by the collar and stopping once we catch up.
> "Suzaku."

Aya:

> "Hm?"
> Follow after that wolf!

Megumu:

> Frown.
> Follow after those karasu.
> Take on a commanding tone.
> "Suzaku."

Aya:

> "Looks like it certainly could be."

Eternity:

> "Alright, now it's my turn to be the noble steed! Onward!!"
> Carry Miss Piece's Smart Beautiful Master off to the Misty Lake!

Megumu:

> Do we recognize either of them from recent events?
> Do they look like ours, or a different caste's?
> Wave them over. Let's get the injured inspected.

Aya:

> "Oh, you all don't need to worry about my subordinates. That's my personal problem."

Eternity:

> "Oh, uh, sorry. I thought kids were supposed to be annoying to their mom. Piece, get off her back, she asked for her arms."
> Float over to one of Hecatia's sides and make to take her arm.

Suzaku:

> We still need to find a way to make Ami not feel awful, though...
> ...Find a decent place off to the side where we can put Ami down on the ground.
> Then hold her mouth open and try shoving one of our feet into her mouth and down her throat.

Aya:

> You can see Misty Lake coming up in the distance, as well as some fairies dueling in the sky. Or at least, the figures of some.
> "She went to the Bamboo Forest to look for Rumia." Daiyousei explains. "Rumia's a friend of mine, and someone pretty impressive, all things considered."
> "Bamboo Forest... I'll keep- actually, is that her?" Momizi points over.
> There is someone approaching, but it's hard to see thanks to the mist. You think the figure matches Miko, however.

Eternity:

> "Kids? Piece has been growing well. Though into a good lady who listens to others, I'm not sure..." Hecatia considers.
> You float to Hecatia's side and start to lift her arm, to which she doesn't protest.
> Piece does the same to her other, not complaining further, likely for her own reasons...
> It's much easier to carry her like this.

Suzaku:

> The consideration of there being many, many other Tengu that haven't knocked Ami out before, and could make her feel better, keeps you proceeding. In fact...
> ...
> Your mind trails off a bit with so much thinking. You can't clear your head...

Megumu:

> The cold seems all but gone now, given you haven't frozen yet. You should head back to the palace and report such to Lord Tenma.
> Though, it seems like a couple of tengu have found their way down here. For what?
> Then again, one of them seems injured. You wonder if Aya told them about here. Or Hatate did, maybe.
