Jin clutched Hotaru like the treasure he was as Ishawari made his attack. She stepped them both back and into the crowd, setting him down but watching, praying that Ishawari had it under control. Her whole body was coiled, waiting to strike if he didn't. He did, eventually, clinging to the giant’s back in a powerful chokehold. It took far too long for the man to fall, and she exhaled with relief. Thank the Gods, it was over. 

She went rushing in to try and roll the man off of her friend, noticing that Hotaru was kicking the giant along with his little friends, absolute fury in his eyes. Good, that was good, the fear had worn off quickly. For her own credit, she did give him a hard kick in the kidney that he’d definitely be remembering later.

As soon as Ishawari was up, talking nonsense about the rain, she ran to him and hugged him close. “I thought this village was supposed to be peaceful.” She murmured in a way that only he could hear. Hotaru was not far behind, and for several sweet moments the strange little trio clung to each other.

Now that the moment was over, her adrenaline was wearing off. Her whole body went cold and started to shake. “I think we should go home, all of us. Before more trouble happens.” She looked up at Ishawari and smiled. 

“Besides, you owe me a story about what in the Gods’ name happened to cause all of this.”
