[The shinki seems to be doing better--the last of the blight leaving her body.

Izumo glances over at Hakkai before looking back at the shinki, watching as she lifts her head to look at them.]

[sonofson]

[Goten holds onto Kairi, leaning against her as he peeks out to look at the blighted shinki---who seems to be getting better and better. So it is working! Hakkai, Izumo and Hat-Guy are amazing! Kairi too! He smiles a little seeing the blight leave her body but how do they know when to let her out?]

I think she's gonna be okay, you guys...!

Wrap Round if you'd like, and after this we can go ad hoc wrapping up

[pure_radiantics]

[Kairi sighs with relief when the last of the blight disappears a little more than a half hour later.]

You did it - you really survived all of that. You should be so proud of yourself.

[She's still sitting on the ground with the Soulless shinki on the other side of the barrier, who has started to go quiet again. She starts looking up at the barrier and pressing her hands against it.]

I think we're ready to get the Borderlines down now.

[She looks up expectantly at the trio.]

[kokuyoyo]

[Chikusa's attention is on Hakkai right now and, at the first sign of agreement to Kairi's statement, he silently lets down his borderline as well.]

[....Still prepared to lash out if they're wrong, however.]

[reformedsinner]

[Hakkai's gaze flicks over the shinki, looking for any lingering hint of blight, before he lets his borderline flicker to nothing and straightens up, dusting his hands off. He steps forward and offers a hand up to the girl.]

You should be able to stay here for now.

[toremainbehind]

[Tilting his head to the side, Izumo allows his Borderline to drop, hand dropping down to his side.

He allows Hakkai to talk to the girl, though he does glance over at Kairi and Goten, double-checking them to make sure they were all right.]

[sonofson]

[So the shinki is going to be okay? The ablution worked? Of course it did with Izumo and Hakkai's borderlines! Hat-Guy's borderline looked pretty good too! Goten expected no less even when things did get a little scary there. But Kairi's words are reasurring and he believes her. This shinki-lady is going to be okay. No one is hurt either.

He grins once their borderlines drop and jumps into the air, floating there as he flips around with arms spread and cheering.]

Yay! It worked~! It worked~! Yeah! You did it lady! Everything is going to be okay!

[pure_radiantics]

Yes, I think she's going to be okay, Goten.

[Kairi is likewise ready to jump up and down for joy, but she's also a little emotionally exhausted in a way she didn't expect. She wasn't one of the people casting the spell, so she should be fine... but maybe she can figure it out later.]

I'll come and check on you tomorrow, okay?

[She puts a hand on the Soulless Shinki's shoulder.]

Try to get some rest.

[kokuyoyo]

[Kairi, as usual, can handle the emotional aspects. Chikusa is just gonna…. Sink to the floor here and let out a sigh. And this was just supposed to be a normal walk…. But there are more important things to consider. His head lolls so that he’s looking at Hakkai.]

So there are ayakashi on the Far Shore…

[reformedsinner]

So it seems. [Hakkai exhales, and crosses his arms. It seems that Kairi's taking care of the soulless shinki, for which he is selfishly very glad; while he does feel sympathy for them, they are also often uncomfortable to be around.

Being responsible for Banri's health is enough soulless shinki in his life.

He glances at Chikusa.]

I don't think they're supposed to be able to get here, but it happens, from time to time.

[And the last time he remembers it happening, the ayakashi had been released here. Deliberately. His forehead creases with a thoughtful frown as he glances back at the newly cured girl.]
