Hikaru looked between Nat-chan and Tat-chan, gritting his teeth in both anger and frustration. He knew they were right, but he didn't want to lose Seirei so soon after finding him after all these years. They certainly knew more about the supernatural creatures that dwelled within the forest and the magic they wielded, knew more about combat than he certainly did. He knew he'd be nothing but a hinderance and probably an annoyance to the kitsune, but it didn't stop him from worrying about the fox. He may be powerful, but so many against one just didn't seem all that fair in his mind. But he trusted Nat-chan and Tat-chan's confidence that they clearly had in their father, so he settled at that, giving a little nod of understanding.<br/><br/>A while after and he grew worried when Seirei hadn't caught up with them. That was until they doused his worries with words of encouragement with his process of arrival. Though he was beginning to get irritated with the little one remarks, it was making him feel like he was practically ten years old again. As they rounded a bend at a far slower pace he could only stare up in awe of the intimidating structure. He certainly didn't remember this place, or at least nothing so far triggered his memory. Though whether that was good or bad was to be seen, especially with the way the guards were eyeing him up like a piece of meat to be stabbed and eaten.<br/><br/>Hikaru's gaze whipped around at the sound of Seirei's voice coming from who knew where, releasing a breath of relief he hadn't realised he'd been holding since they'd left him to his fight. All the tension left him as he finally let the death grip on Tat-chan's fur relax. He noticed his hands held a slight tremble to them burying his fingers in the fox's fur to hide the evidence of the negative and scared feelings leaving Seirei like that had brought up. He was most certainly glad to see the kitsune unharmed, feeling guilty that he'd had to get into such a mess because of him in the first place. As soon as he'd talked to Seirei and seen the crash sight for himself he'd leave as soon as possible to minimise any negative reactions to his presence here.<br/><br/>He blinked for a moment before looking down at himself, not even thinking nor caring about his own wellbeing. "Yes. I'm fine. Just a couple of scratches from the crows, nothing really," he murmured, looking back up at Seirei as he finally managed to slip off of Tat-chan's back. "A-Are...are you ok?" He said, though he knew it was probably futile to ask, he wanted confirmation none the less just for his piece of mind. Rubbing the back of his neck he said, "I apologise for causing you so much trouble already... it.. it wasn't my intention upon coming here I promise," giving a deep bow. In truth it was only meant to be a short visit, maybe a day or two at most, expecting to either be heading back or around now, or dead, give or take what the horror stories verses his memories confirmed. Though there was still time. "If you'll still allow me I'd still very much like to talk with you, though once we are safe inside of course..." still bowing.
