Atsuha blushed as Skarsneek grasped her finger, if only for a moment. Her cheeks dyed themselves an even deeper red when he said the word 'missus'. [i][color=9e0b0f]"Wha-What does he mean by missus?!"[/color][/i] She silently thought to herself. Her was snapped out of her thoughts when Skarsneek asked about Hinami, however, who had only spoken using body gestures so far. 

[color=9e0b0f]"Hinami-chan is perfectly fine, Skars-kun! She's just shaken up from the last battle, and needs to take it easy for a little while. I'm sure [i]you[/i] of all people can appreciate that last night was rough for all of us. Beside, if I'm the one looking after her then of course she's fine!"[/color]

With the verbose way in which her answer was panned, one must wonder if she was trying to convince everyone else or herself of her sister's condition. 

[color=7bcdc8]"Nee-san is right Skars-kun."[/color] Hinami finally chimed in, haven spoken for the first time since their trek had resumed.  [color=7bcdc8]"I'm actually feeling much better now."[/color] She wore her usual warm smile it had before. [color=7bcdc8]"If I'm being honest, I'm still a bit winded from the previous skirmish. But, I promise not to get in the way or slow you all down. I'll support you all as best I can!"[/color]

While she spoke with a cheerful tone, one may be able to still sense that something was...off about the girl. She then turned to Tomi for a moment. 

[color=7bcdc8]"I mean that for you as well, Tomi-chan. Let's do our best in finding this Sorae fellow. The more allies, the better![/color]
