Arkain layes there catching his breath. When he briefly touched your mind he could sense the others and their strength. He also sensed great pain. It seemed to be focused at someone. He looks up quickly at the kitsune when he hears the chanting suddenly stop and to his surprise he is looking a bit angry at him. When he listens to you, his face drops looking rather confused and frustrated.. " I...I..I am sorry. I didn't know. I was just trying to help you.' He looks down surprised to see his wrist and ankles freed. He sits up quickly and rubs his wrist. Hearing the rest about Reiku. He drops his head down in his hands and shakes it bitterly. "Ohhh God, what have I done?" He can feel tears run down his hands, he is sure he has doomed Reiku. He suddenly hears the door open. He sees the kitsune step outsidde the door. He looks at you in disbelief. " WHAAT? You ... You mean theres still a chance we can save her? " Arkain jumps off the table and wiping the tears off his face and looks at you with a renewed sense of determination. He runs up next to you. "What the hell are we standing around here for. Reiku needs our help. Hey... Wait a minute" He puts his hand on the kitsune shoulder holding him back from running. "You freed me. You broke the rules. They are going to punish you, arn't they. I felt someone being punished while I was linked to you. It was awful. I don't know how I am going to be able to repay you for your kindness but I will try. Thank you. " He smiles warmly and rubs his shoulder then lets go ready to follow you.
