On the bear Kaede could feel the latent adrenaline and strength that came to her in a fight begin to ebb. She started to really feel her wounds, her hand shaking and each movement becoming a chore. Distantly she heard people speaking but she did not feel up to replying, except for Asuka.. "Damn right you were foolish! Its a soldiers responsibility to survive and be fit to fight for the long run. Weren't you in a siege before?" She had growled under her breathe while pushing the small vial of coagulating oil into the Miko's hand so that she might stabilise the Ronin. After that she said very little, maintain a tight and strained look to her face when they arrived at the small forest and only nodding with brisk gratefulness to the great forest spirit that loomed over them all. 

Finally, once all of the wounded had been settled and the Miko had suggested she rest, Kaede gladly acted upon the suggestion. She stripped off her vast weaponry and basically fell into the stream, careless for clothes, just letting the clear stream soothe her wounds and the cold rid her of the ache in her muscles. Once she was acceptably relaxed she dragged herself from the water, grabbing her sword from the bank on her way, her clothes clinging to her dripping form as she dragged herself over to the Miko and collapsing next to her patients. Her breathing was laboured and anyone who touched her would tell she had a fever from the poisoned dagger, but Kaede knew she could just sleep it off and she'd be fine.

However she briefly heard Asuka's quiet and stammered return to consciousness and dragged herself up to crouch next to the wounded ronin. She scowled down at her slightly, noting her concern for the princess and slight confusion. "Welcome back to the living! Our Princess merely tired herself a little, she'll be fine with care. You on the other hand are more full of holes than I am. Honestly, what were you doing! You had me worried." She growled and grumbled to herself before slumping back with an exhausted sigh.
