Hanako exhaled in amusement. Yeah, she'd give him that and she should have seen it coming to, he'd always been so blunt and on the nose about things, why would he stop now? But still! Knowing that she was safe she had the time to mull over her past decisions and quickly came to the conclusion she'd been an idiot, that it was a damn near miracle she'd escaped in the state she was; more or less intact. That place had been evil, nasty and she was fairly certain it would have taken even more from her given the chance. She let out a wistful sigh, only to wince and gulp her breath back in halfway through, the air tasted foul on her tongue and her brows furrowed so sharply it looked as though she was pulling an Azure impression.

He didn't seem all that pleased with her heavy comment and Hanako's ears flicked back a little, a silent take back. They were beside the river now and despite her protests Hanako was dreading climbing down, the water looked inviting and all that but the thought of her weight shifting back to her exhausted paws made her just want to close her eyes and sleep forever. To pretend all was well and good in Hana land, except that it wasn't and she stunk worse than any skunk ever could. She was quick to fill the silence with a babbled explanation as she carefully eased herself off of Azure's back, he deserved to know and it helped take her mind off of the pain.

"So.." She trailed off, biting back the urge to sigh. "I was out on a run and there was this creepy house and I thought oh why not have a look inside? Which is stupid I know but I'd never seen anything like that before and I thought it could be an adventure." Her paws finally met the ground and she deflated, eyeing her reflection cast in the rivers surface. It was hard to describe, so surreal and strange, that her words and memory hardly did it justice. "It went really bad. This voice from somewhere was telling me to find it and whenever I tried it just- I dunno everything went really bad. I hurt my paw. Got covered in this and I-" She gestured to herself, to the browny red stains that smeared her coat and then paused, unwilling to admit she'd literally thrown up on herself cause she'd dug through a corpse. "Then these doll things attacked me. In all I've had a really bad day, not going to lie."

But she did feel a little better now, that Azure was here.
