So please, accept it as a token of the day your words were more effective than any yari. I hurt it, you soothe it. Please Mai-chan, you were part of it. I beg, it's more a symbol of your power with your subtlety, than of my power with sword. Bear it with pride.
Was Satomi word's in her third offering. She bowed.

"As a token of our day together, I accept" Mai smiled warmly, accepting the package and finding a pocket to place it in.
"It has been a most interesting day, neh? Thank you for inviting me."

You are welcome, Mai-chan. All days since I've arrived in this Court have been interesting ones, but this one simply tops all others. Satomi also smiled. Then, she proposed to retake their walk to reach the horses as soon as possible.
Both women were near from the forest borders, when a cry for help was clearly audible:
Help...
Satomi quickly guided Mai through the forest, and then they found a Crab woman laying on a puddle of blood. Her armor side was pierced by arrows, of which Mai could suppose be origined from a strange device in a tree nearby. She obvoiusly tried to crawl for a few meters from the spot where she had activated the trap, but seemed too weak due the loss of blood. Her open eyes were bloodshot and wandering, but at their arrival, she tried to focus. The Crab samurai-ko seemed afraid when she recognized Satomi.
You...!

Mai's eyes grew wide at the sight in front of her. The sheer bloodloss was shocking.
"Is this...one of your traps Satomi-chan?"

Satomi frowned, then crouched next to the woman, looking first at her eyes, then, at the arrows buried in her body. Her expression was cryptic, tending towards disgust:
Yes, it is. Can you make gunzo-san and me a favor and lend me your cape, Mai-chan? I lost mine, unfortunately. We need to take her back to the castle to get the help of a shugenja. Satomi started to break the arrows' shafts.
The woman cried.
Hold on, Hida-san.
Depending on me, you will not die today.

"I can do better Satomi-chan."
Mai walked over to the fallen soldier, kneeling down and hovering her hands over the wound. She began to chant without a sound, and slowly the wounds close with a wash of water over it.

Of course Satomi got startled, with this new facet of Shosuro Mai. For an instant, she felt tempted to say: Don't heal that much, ok? but observed quietly while Mai proceeded with the healing ritual. When Natsuko's wounds were closed enough, the Hida samurai-ko whispered to Mai.
Thank you, Scorpion-sama...

"Don't mention it. Seriously" Mai said back as she stood, looking over the wounds "at least you should be able to stand now" she took a step back to allow Satomi to inspect and agree or not.

Her chances improved considerably... Satomi inspected the woman. Ok, You are too weak to walk by yourself. You come with me. Without a second thought, Satomi grabbed the woman and put her over the shoulder. It was the easiest and less complicated way to do her transport, and made Satomi less burdened; and the Hida woman didn't oppose to it, she was too weak to make it anyway. However, the horses weren't too far and soon the women were riding back to Kyuden Meyo. Satomi rode silently, keeping Natsuko in front of her on the horse's back. This adventure had its high and lows, and was far from finished.

Mai didn't comment on the lugging around; really they were from the same clan so if it didn't bother them there was nothing to say.
Plus Mai had used a lot of her weaker connection with the water kami, and she rarely used magic to that level, so she felt a little tired. Not that it showed.
She was quiet on the ride back, focusing on the horse and letting Satomi lead them.

When they come near the castle, Satomi said:
Thank you again, Mai-chan. I need to take this woman to another place. if you won't mind, we part ways now, when I arrange things to have gunzo-san tended and to return hastily to the forest.
In fact, Satomi didn't wait Mai's reply, expecting the woman to understand the urgency of her new and self imposed tasks. She simply turned the horse and left Mai at the gates of the Castle, heading back to the city.
Later on, she returned to the forest.

"Fortunes Guide you Satomi-chan" Mai bowed as the Crab rode off, climbing down from her horse and leading it to the stables to be taken care of. She then remembered that she was borrowing Satomis yari and outer clothes.
"I guess I will have to invite her over soon to collect them" she said quietly to herself, a smile at that "what fun that will be."
Mai chuckled as she planned, returning to her chambers to enjoy a nice relaxing bath.
/exit Mai!
