Rin wasn't sure how he'd be able to summon that power back; it did come out of nowhere and happened so quickly he didn't have time to focus on how it manifested itself. But he supposed he got the gist of it. It would just be a matter of honing in his energy to find the strength later. Who knew when they'd have that chance though, considering the state they were in. If Sousuke did have a broken bone back there, then he'd need a month or more to rest and recover. Unfortunately that was going to be the price to pay, and frankly, Rin was just glad they were alive at all.
Anyway, with Sousuke finally settled down, Rin turned his attention to Angel who by now was close enough for the tip of her nose to tap the backs of his fingers. It was easy for him to get along with animals for the most part and luckily for them Angel seemed to be receptive enough to take a couple steps out from her little corner. It's ok, Sousuke. I got this.
It's what he wanted to say once Angel carefully licked his hand, but, distracted by the sound of rushing water, he looked over in time to see it spreading from one end of the alley to the next. "Oy, didn't I tell you to save your energy?" Stubborn idiot. She didn't look like she was going to run anyway. Still, he gave her a couple minutes more to adjust to his scent and presence. They were this close already. No sense in ruining it now. "I'll just have to leave her on their doorstep and knock." Then he'd have to leave before they saw him. It seemed simple enough, didn't it? Then again, so did the rest of this prayer request.
Another minute and he was finally able to scoop Angel up with both hands and with some slight wincing stood back up to walk over to his shinki. "But that's for me to take care of. I need to send you back to the castle."
