"By foot.... how long till we reach Shiro Hiruma?"
Senshi asked, blood trickling from his mouth. He let Haruka work unimpeded, but pointed to a bag on Riku's flank, motioning for the man to open the bag. He did so, cautiously, unsure what had happened, but satisfied enough that these two in red colors were not trying to kill him or tie him down. He upended the bag and two fingers of jade landed in his hand.
Senshi looked at Haruka again, "How long."

"On foot it'll be hours if we don't get lost.. At full gallop it'll be a lot sooner."
Her gaze started to flick back and forth more worriedly. The man fumbled around a bit nervously with the jade for a moment as Haruka quickly took it from his hands and helped apply it to Senshi's wound.
"If something comes up along the way I want you to go on ahead though."
She had a fierce and determined look in her eyes, one that wouldn't let him protest with words. With one final knot to keep the cloth secure she reached over with both of her arms and hauled him up onto the horse, using her strength to easily get him onto Rin. The horse's ears turned as she snorted with displeasure, but an unspoken bond between shiotome and steed forced the beast to accept.
Looking to their spared companion, Haruka helped him up behind Senshi and briefly got him well adjusted to sitting up with and supporting him. If he were to pass out during the ride, the man would be able to ensure he wouldn't fall from the saddle. With a curt nod and a few more nervous looks Haruka walked side by side with Rin at a brisk pace as they did their best to depart without drawing attention to themselves in this city of the Lost.

Senshi detested the situation, but through the pain, the logic rang true. He bit his lip and rode with the peasant. "Haruka, there is so much I want to say, and no idea how to say it..."
Not a good sign, he thought to himself. He was losing focus. But he forced himself to pay attention. He blathered on, "You found your place as a scorpion, my love. I never should have put you in this position. I'm so sorry. Our son is safe..." he prattled on and on, saying everything that came to mind, forcing himself to stay focused on something.

"No" Haruka stated flatly. Her gaze was focused on the path ahead as she continued to guide them with the best of her ability through the wretched wastelands.
There was a solemn intensity that had taken the place of her emotional state before. Walking with Churetsu unsheathed, she had a harsh grip on the hilt as though anticipating ambush.
"There is one thing left unfinished." She continued after her long pause.
"It is time for me to stand by my husband in all things, toss aside my personal loyalties.. for the good of the clan. When we return home, I will recant my support for Toturi."

Senshi nodded, and weakly added, "I understand..." He then fell into a dark cold sleep...
