"No, Akane-san, but we can all rest easily now..." She hoped those words would be enough to reassure the demon-slayer of their success, but when Mizuki chimed in she found herself cringing as she recalled the event of Asuka cutting [i]both[/i] of Gankuro's arms from his body. A slight shiver went up her spine as she sighed. She couldn't be so sure that Gankuro would never find a way to wield a weapon again. After all, They had their own one armed warrior on their team.

Hanami blinked away from where Mizuki was headed with Kouko as she looked up at The Ronin, finding it strange that she didn't make eye contact with her when she asked that question. It was a little unsettling that Asuka had chosen to keep quiet the whole time, but she had grown accustomed to the silence in her day-to-day life and figured it was best she didn't bother the Ronin with any questions.

"Y-yes, Asuka-san... Of course." She said softly in response. She would make time to pray for them all and the forest spirits which had grown restless from the recent attacks and the unfamiliar presence of the female warriors. 

When they arrived back at the clearing where the tree spirit last left them, Hanami decided she would take the opportunity to finally unwind by spending some time by the stream. "Ahhh." She sighed as she sat down on the plush grass by the stream. She gently ran her fingertips across the waters surface, eyes widening as the fish she never noticed before swam closer to her hand. She thought to move her hand away, but did not, figuring this fish was just one of the many spirits that resided within the forest. 

Now fully relaxed, she used the trickling sounds of the water to center herself and pray. Afterward, she rolled up the length of her hakama and stuck her bare feet into the stream, staring up at the dark sky and listening to the night.
