Of course he'd immediately known when Shouryuu returned to the enclosure, when the sense of the king's presence abruptly jumped from far away to not too far and he could pinpoint where he must be. It had been all that Rokuta could do to not immediately run to him, check on him, or at least summon Rikaku back to report on what had happened. Shouryuu had asked him to stay away, though-- he'd promised to return as soon as he'd been cleaned up, and the last thing he needed was to fall ill ( ... )

"Ah, there you are, Taiho," Shouryuu said, turning immediately from the shirei, who sank back into his shadow (probably to escape Rokuta's reaction when he finally saw the injury, the traitor) and giving Rokuta a careless little grin.

Rokuta looked worse for wear. Maybe he should have ordered him away from the village as they'd all come back. Though Shouryuu himself couldn't smell it, the blood had to be in the air still; no matter how hard they scrubbed or how thoroughly they washed, it took longer than this to fade away.

"Yeah. Here I am." Rokuta pushes off the wall and stalks a little closer, eyes narrowed (to hide relief) and posture stiff (because he can't just let himself relax) as he looks the king up and down. Nothing visible from the front, but from that comment and the way Rikaku vanished, there's clearly something he isn't being told.

Actually, there was probably something he wasn't being told before, too, even if he hadn't pried into that. The same thing? Had Shouryuu just been injured early in the fighting? "So what'm I supposed to be mad about?"

"We got a few bumps and bruises." Meaning Shouryuu had, for the most part. Rikaku, like all shirei, had an unnatural ability to heal fast given the time to do so. Everything else on Shouryuu had healed, in his defense, except the damn wing.

And if he could help it, he wasn't ever letting Rokuta know about the blindness on the first day.
