Sighing softly in relief, she gently picked up the Priestess bridal style with utter ease. It was perhaps odd for a princess to do such a thing, but Mizuki didn't really care. She felt less restrained now that she was out of the palace. Carrying the Priestess into the hollow of the tree, her ears perked as she gingerly stripped away Hanami's clothes, setting them to the side before stripping what remained of her kimono and covered it over the unconscious priestess. 

Luckily, she had planned losing the kimono anyway. Despite her fathers wishes, it would have been impossible to hide her looks from her guardians whom would stay with her almost all the time. So now she wore more [url=http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs17/f/2007/186/5/d/Baleful_Samurai_by_IronRosePetal.jpg]suitable traveling clothes.[/url] 

Standing up once again, she walked out and watched the others curiously, her lips gingerly pressing together. As Yuki, Kaede, and Asuka spoke to one another she simply smiled. [b]"There are more things then strength, Yuki-San. Still, I thank you all for taking care of me. Please look after Hanami-San. And be sure to rest, okay?"[/b] she said with a kind voice as she walked closer to them, gently patting Asuka's and Kaede's heads and and looked to the others.

Despite how she felt a bit sore and tired, her excitement was returning. But she didn't want everyone to go worrying about her. Most of them seemed pretty tired besides Yuki. 

She turned to the Tree Spirit and smiled innocently. [b]"Is it alright if I climb your tree?"[/b] she asked and once he nodded, she didn't even wait for a response before she used her powerful legs to jump up. Landing neatly on a branch.

Standing, she looked around before leaping up to another branch. [b]"Wow the view is amazing!"[/b] she cheered happily. Yes, she was worried for her comrades, but there was not too much she could do. They were more experienced with these kind of predicaments and she didn't want to sit around and mope either. She was finally outside.... Free.
