[And, with the purple blotches reaching around Hakkai's throat like fingers attempting to choke him from behind -- not to mention the blight spreading over Gojyo's cheekbone -- it's hard to doubt that's true. Although, apparently, he's decided that the most important thing to do is defend himself against nonexistent accusations that he's somehow hurt Chikusa.
Because Hakkai has to be here to defend Chikusa against Gojyo, or... no, Hakkai's in no mood to try to decipher Gojyo's latest wild misunderstanding, especially considering it's fueled by sedatives on top of paranoia.
The same way that sweet smile he'd given Hakkai, the moment before he was really awake, had been the sedative. Hakkai locks away that ache with the lesser pain of the blight, and flicks Chikusa a cool glance.]
