[As Hu Tao raised an eyebrow or two, she didn't know what to say back. While she should be flustered as much as Tenshi at the mere mention of the word, there was another question lingering in the back of her mind.

That's why she stopped and gave the spirit a look.]

Is that so? And how do you know?

[They didn't. Did they...?]

[Bow Chica ....

Tenshi coughed and reached up as the two of them stopped, scratching at the back of her head. Uh, how did she put it? Nah, there was no way to do this without being a little bit blunt.]

Because I called you after I recovered from doing that with her after the fight? And the jerk didn't bring me a change of clothes after? And I'm definitely paying her back for making this a really awkward "Walk of Shame?" That's what people call this, right? A walk of shame?

[Yeeeeeeep]

[Again, Hu Tao continued to stare at Tenshi in awe and wonder. She should be surprised but she wasn't. Glancing awkwardly at the ground, she gave a small shrug.]

Even so, that does explain why others haven't found you in the midst of all the fighting. Although, I suppose despite it all? I'm glad you enjoyed yourself.

[Just saying.]

Yeah, I think we both enjoyed ourself plenty, which is why I want there to be another round sometime.

[She gave her a little thumbs up, winking as she did so.]

I do appreciate the save, though. I'll just have to be ready for next time. I should talk to the old man back at my base too. He might be able to help.

If you do happen to do it again, please make sure to do it indoors. I just don't want some unexpected visitor to uh...pop in on you.

[It was only then, there was a hint of red that appeared on her face. Shaking her head, that's when she continued onward.]

But mind if I ask who this old man is? Please don't tell me it is someone whom you are rather close to as well.

Well if we do it again, I'll probably use the Arena. But, as long as we are smart and don't let stardust get involved or anything like that? I pretty sure we can wait to get back into the locker rooms to do... uh... that.

We definitely wouldn't ever do that on the Arena floor in front of all those prying eyes.

[Tenshi was absolutely not thinking of that as she said that. Absolutely not. And her cheeks were absolutely not beet red at the thought. NOPE.]

Kinsei? Oh no. He's the onmyouji of the faction. He's one of the boss lady's most important lieutenants. He helps us with magic stuff. Nah, I... I've only been with two people here. I don't get around that much. Promise.

Regardless, please do be more careful. Or I shall keep making various jokes about it until you won't hear the end of it.

[As she got closer to the hospital, she gave pointed in said direction before looking back at Tenshi. SO far, she seemed to be okay if she was able to keep up with her all this time.]

I know, I was teasing! I just want to make sure you aren't getting into that much trouble. As much as you like fighting, I still want to make sure my friend is safe.

[...]

I know... I know... We definitely got... uh... carried away. Let's just go with that. I'll be smarter about this next time. I swear. [She didn't actually want to worry Hu Tao, because boy that would mean she'd gone really far this time.]

I think I can make the last leg of the trek unless you want to check me in.

Are you sure? I'll go with you if you want me to.

[That being said, she let go of her before taking a few steps forward.]

I think you can check yourself in but...just in case should anyone ask any questions. [She said before giving a cough or two. After all, did they need to ask about Tenshi's activities?]

Yeah, that actually sounds like a good idea. Why don't you lead the way, in case they ask any dumb questions. We can... uh... say I got my hand on a plate that was way too hot. That's almost true!

[Either way, she was going to let Hu Tao lead the Q&A session. That seemed best.]

You got it, I'm sure it will just fine. Just leave it to me!

[And just like that, as she entered into the place? There was a huge smile on her face. Granted, there might be a few people giving them a look or two. However, that didn't seem to matter. Not with Hu Tao marching straight up to the front office with a confident look on her!]

Excuse me, I hope I'm not bothering you but I have someone who needs to be taken care of. It's nothing dangerous but let's just say she got herself into quite the situation with burns. [That said, the lady did raise an eyebrow or two at them.]

[Tenshi reached up and scratched the back of her head with her not burned hand and managed an abashed grin.]

Look, celestials don't usually cook for themselves and I kind of made a serious mess of things. Just need to make sure it gets tended...

[That got one less narrowed eyes, though of course it wouldn't explain the bite marks, but hey. She didn't need those taken care of! They were directed to a seat and she breathed a sigh of relief.]

Thanks again.

It's not a problem! Although, if you do need anything, feel free to give me a call! You always know that I'm here to help you out.

[Or at least, she hoped so. All she wanted was for Tenshi to think of her as a friend. The moment that one of the nurses gave a sigh, she gestured the spirit to follow her toward the doors.]

Until then? Please do take care of yourself.
