Marona’s reply sent a wave of confidence through him as well. While it was simply confirming something that he had said, that confirmation was needed. A hectic day such as this one certainly shook parts of him – and reuniting with Marona was one of the first steps to stabilizing the ground again. Not that he wanted this place to become normal for them to stay in, but it was much easier to relax and think when on more stable grounds.
A few moments after the other left his embrace, he had unconfined himself – not wanting to put much more stress on his body. What kind of guardian would he be if he collapsed here? Certainly not a good one, he noted as he watched the younger one attempt to find more words to stay. Maybe in regards as to what they should do now that they had found each other.
On that note, he hadn’t given much of a thought to it himself. While it was a bit uncharacteristic for him to forget these things, he had been some preoccupied with finding Marona that he had let it slip from his mind. Well, there was that whole ‘certainly not a good one’ statement coming back to bite him. Luckily, Marona surprised him by coming up with a remedy to this situation. She had pulled out the same device that the brat had earlier – explaining that she had met three people she needed to contact back and that they could meet up with them to find a place to stay for the night.
This idea caused a bit of mixed reaction within Ash. There was no denying he was certainly proud of Marona for thinking up this idea, since it was a fairly good one. However, there were certainly some drawbacks – especially meeting up with others. Despite it had already been proven that at least several people could see him, he wasn’t exactly comfortable with it or sure of their reactions. He didn’t want them to suddenly turn their backs to Marona simply because of him – he didn’t want this to turn into another incident like Windmill Promontory.
Still, there were a lot of things that far outweighed the negative for now. (For he wasn’t sure how much longer he was going to be able to mask pain from Marona. He didn’t want her to worry but the injuries still hurt a bit.) Besides, Marona had apparently told them something of him – which might make the situation a bit better. Although he was still a bit unhappy with this fact, for his own reasons.
He looked through the shadows to see if Yoruichi was still present – seeing as she knew this place far better than him it seemed. Although she had said she was nearby, it didn’t seem as though she was there anymore. He turned his attention back to Marona with a slight bit of disappointment – he could really have used the woman’s help now that he had realized she was somewhat trustworthy.
He recovered quickly from the disappointment as he replied to Marona, “That’s not a bad idea at all. We should attempt to reach them before it becomes too dark, though... Did they have a meeting place set in mind?”
