Should maintain this security until reunion with your companions, you think. You'd like to prioritize reaching the woods, as you fear taking a look at the ruins again could thrust you right back into danger. You set course, and go. Once you catch a break, you can give some more attention to your wound.
More running it is. The sky has cleared, and while you were enjoying the calmer surroundings for a good while, there just had to be something to spoil the nice change.
"You had him! What was that about?!!"
"The monster, you killed. The bigger one, as well, burned to dust, even! A man, you would not kill."You'd be very glad to tell him how much of a nuisance he is, but you control self.
"You dine with punks and murderers, but when you yourself have to get something done, you back out. Marvelous!"
"What are you even talking about..." you mutter, quite tired from the day so far, and this doesn't make it any better.
"I am stuck with a man, who... Look at yourself, Black. You do not feed me, you cannot kill, what good are you? I gave you a better example!""You did, but I'd say it's you who ain't living up to that example now. I don't care what you spout."
"You never cared, you never did! And this is my plight. Bound to a person like that. Long could I have roamed free, now I do nothing but starve, for you had let your pet apprehend me like this..."
"And it's a good thing he did."
As happy are you to see Nami back, as anguished Crack seems to become, and with great screeching he withdraws.
"Don't mind him. He doesn't know what he speaks."
"I see you're using your gift well!" she says, after a pause.
"I hope so. Let me sit down, then we'll talk."
You get to the grove shortly after, and as you've set out to, tend to the bites.
"That was a brave path to take, bringing order back to that shrine."You shrug and smile.
"What can I say. Who knows what would come of it if we left it unattended. I was glad to help. Sorry for the guardian, but apparently it was meant to be, the locals said..."
"There are many kinds of spirit beings, Blackhoof. And not all of them have a crystal clear mind. You did what was right."
"Hope the carcass was properly destroyed... That was the reason I came back, the rest is waiting in Usodestis."
"I did not want to interrupt you, but I have sensed the presence of three men back there.""That should check out."
Since Nami was away for a while, even though you've reunited sooner than expected, you might want to ask her questions. Or discuss whatever matters on your mind. If not, you can embark right after you heal yourself better, and lay out your journey of return. Whenever are you going to sleep tonight, you are positive you'll get to Usodestis on the third day, in time.
