[Out of them all, she has to worry about Inumuta resisting mentally the most- but with Sanageyama it's worse. He has instincts so thoroughly ingrained in him that even they may need to be refitted, retooled. But she has to make sure it doesn't go too far, that they don't turn him into something he isn't. Not only because it would be suspicious, but because he wouldn't be the person she needs at her side, if it happens.
So she bends as he kneels, the hand not holding his moving to wipe his cheek.]
Unnecessarily so, yes.
[She half-turns to Inumuta then, raking her gaze over him, curious.]
I see you're feeling better already- but you shouldn't tease. You know how he gets.
[She makes room for him to kneel, however, and straightens up, squeezing Sanageyama's hand faintly.]
You're right though- come, Sanageyama. There is much to do.
[The feeling that he had something he ought to be doing drifts further away until he can't remember why he was so opposed to this in the first place. It hurts now, sure, but that'd pass in time surely. Otherwise he doesn't even notice there's anything different - it almost seems silly he struggled as much as he had before.
He lifts his free hand to wipe his sleeve against the other cheek, nodding up at her.]
...you're right, Lady Satsuki. Sorry.
[And he'll stand, given he has the room to do so since she moved back to allow Inumuta near.
Speaking of which, he addresses Houka afterwards.]
There's nothing to see. Try not to be too disappointed.
[Said, a little disappointed anyway. No visible changes, not like the powder white color of skin that the mindless one-stars had become, under Ragyo's control. Nothing out of the ordinary. It's all a mental change.
His mind is still in rebellion, and he can tell. His thoughts are not entirely what they should be- he should be asking Satsuki what she plans on doing next. No doubt she is planning on going after Jakuzure and Gamagori next, and she would be asking him the best way to corner them without retaliation. He should already be formulating a plan for this but- he's not. His mind's relatively blank, right now. As if he's unconsciously sealed off parts of his mind, to resist the Life Fibers from interfering with them.
Instead, he's quiet, standing and rubbing the bridge his nose.]
Ah... Lady Satsuki, I wish you had warned me how much this would give me a headache. I can't think straight.
