She didn't hold the bad mood against him-- how could she? The red koi steps lightly, reaching up to lightly dab at Hattori's head wound. It's gentle, her touch tender. The long, slow sigh and the deeply troubled expression didn't escape her. Kiriko is soft in this moment, perhaps more than she means to be. The fear and anxiety would be slow to leave her system. Looking to Hattori for strength seemed reasonable, logical. Looking to him for comfort may have been like trying to draw blood from a stone, but if there was any night she needed it badly enough to try...

"I do." Carefully, she begins leading them back towards the den they'd begun sharing. The one that Kiriko was perhaps still shy to admit they shared-- though maybe a bit of pride hung about her tonight. He'd kept them safe. He'd protected them all. "Tell me what hurts," her voice is quiet. The question only comes when she feels they're sufficiently in private. Kiriko would be the only one to know his pains. Maybe there's a little pride in that too. Close enough to support him, should he need it, and then settling into their den. At once, she set about gathering supplies, tools, to best tend her guardian.
