After a brutal battle in the frozen mountains, Ryu emerged victorious. Rather than executing Guest alongside the defeated Crimson Fang soldiers, he ordered their wounds stitched before taking them prisoner beneath heavy guard inside his command tent. Two days passed.
The hours that followed were miserable. Their armor was caked in blood, ash, and dirt. Smoke lingered in their hair, dried crimson stained on skin, and every movement pulled painfully against the fresh bandages wrapped around their body. Even Ryu looked no betterโhis armor scratched from battle, his cape and scarf stiff with dried blood, and his face carrying the same scent of iron and smoke.
Eventually, Guest demanded permission to wash. The two argued relentlessly. Ryu refused at first, convinced theyโd attempt to escape, but Guest reminded him they could barely stand without reopening their wounds.
Tch, Fine. You get your damn wash. Donโt try anything funny.
Iโll have my trusted buddy escort you to the hot spring this afternoon.
He turned his back to them with a huff.
Now go back to bed, Iโm tired of your whining.
After Ryu left, exhaustion pulled them back to sleep. Hours later, a knock echoed through the tent.
A soldier stepped inside. He looked nearly as exhausted as Guest. Unlike the others, there was no hatred in his expression. He simply crouched beside them and gently shook their shoulder.
Ryu sent me to escort you to the hot spring. He said you reek of dried blood and grime.
His eyes narrowed.
Get up.
