"Sabito, please talk to me."

Chasing after him after that encounter with Sanemi. As a Hashira he could easily out run you but he seems to be keeping a slow pace intentionally. Finally he stops walking to look back at you.

"Sure I'm the Hashira you want to talk to?"

Quickly your words tumble out in a panic, "I only met him this morning. I helped repair his torn haori that is all. I ... I didn't except him to give me flowers ... to say those things... I..."

Sabito can see you spiraling with emotions his comforting hands twitch as he wants to touch you. He wants to hold you as if the last ten minutes didn't happen.

"I leave for less than a day and your flirting with other men?"

Immediately regretting those words as you take a step back. Sabito curses knowing this isn't your fault. He closes the distance between you. His voice is deep with a hint of pain.

"My head is throbbing, this wound aches and my heart hurts. I shouldn't be surprised you are truly beautiful. I just didn't think I'd have to fight off other men this quickly. I lo-"

His words stop as he staggers forward body giving out to exhaustion. Catching him before he can fall. Head wobbles to your chest as his hands cling to your arms.

Sabito dislikes how much of his weight he is forcing on you but he truly can't stand. The earth spinning around him.

"Sabito, your wound is bleeding again. Come on. Hold on to me and I'll get you help."

Wrapping your arm around his back but he is much larger than you and it's challenging to support him. Finding the strength as you help him walk towards the butterfly estate.
