Back on Track

[Saerieve]

Walking toward the other door in the room - apparently the bathroom -, Saerieve paused and threw a glance at the shogun in the doorway, then said.

"I need to wash up for now... and there's no 'last' payment... at least not yet."

And entering the bathroom, closed the door behind him without waiting for the shogun's reply or reaction. Then undressing and throwing his clothes in a corner, he walked under the hot water flowing from the shower, making sure his wounded wrist won't get wet.

Having his eyes closed and only feeling the flow of hot water on his body, he was only thinking of one thing - That everything he had done in past two months, had only ruined all his efforts before that. He knew if he doesn't try to fix what he had broken, soon he'll have nothing from his hard-earned "keepsakes" of the life he had decided to leave behind.

'To hell with it...'

He muttered to himself as he rushed out of the shower, grabbing a towel on his way out, to catch up with the shogun in Kyushu.
