Wu outpost on the border of Shu.

Keiji heard her and even understood what she said. A smile half crept across his face and he leapt up from his position on the bed. He shook himself a little to shake off the fatigue and then grinned at her. "Why not?" He said. He knew she was stronger than she looked and that if her wound got infected then they would deal with it when it happened. He could tell that she was anxious and just needed to get out and the fresh air would do her well. He stepped out of the tent, holding the door flap open for her to exit. He looked around and there still wasn't anyone around. It had been several hours since the battle and they were all still gone. Where was Sun Ce? And Zhou Yu? Without Yu he couldn't really speak much and without Ce's vote of confidence the troops were still kind of uneasy with a foreigner in their midst.

The princess was happy that Keiji didn’t deny her, because she would have left anyway if he did. She noticed a smile on the man’s face and smiled back. Lady Ren followed shortly after Keiji as he exited the tent. Lady Ren felt so much better outside in the fresh air. The young girl looked around to make sure her brother wasn’t around to see her walk out of the medic tent. Lucky for her it looked like the main generals weren’t back yet, but she was starting to worry her eldest brother didn’t seem to be in the best of shape right now, even though Ce denies it the princess was worry more about him then her own self.

Keiji began to walk around. He didn't know what to do exactly, but a walk seemed like the best thing to do for the moment. He noticed that the princess seemed a little worried. He could only figure that she would be worried about the other officer's reaction to the fact that she was injured. In most situations they wouldn't say much and simply acknowledge that she fought hard and got away alive, but this group was different. They had family bonds and perhaps they would be more strict with her than a normal officer since she was the baby sister. He wouldn't let them prevent her from going into battle as long as he knew that she would be able to fight well without her injury getting in the way.

As the princess walked she was feeling better, she hated being in a tent for a long period of time, especially the medic tent. She was just glad the other officers haven’t came back yet. She sighed and looked at her bare shoulder; if one of the officers came back at this minute she wouldn’t be able to hide the wound from her brother. “Keiji, please excuse me for a few seconds.” She hoped the man understood as she headed in the direction of her own tent.

Keiji nodded in compliance. He still didn't really want to speak much so he knew that body language would work just fine. He turned away from her and began to just wander aimlessly through the camp. He stretched his arms to the sky, being careful of his shoulder, and then let them fall to his sides loosely, the left arm still in the sling. He clenched his right fist and couldn't help but feel the urge to go out and fight again. Even with his mild injury he still wanted more. "Tadakatsu..." He said as he looked north. "So powerful. Tch... Stupid antler man. I'm stronger than he is!" His words were in Japanese and they sounded as if he was trying to make himself feel better that his duel ended in a draw. In all truth Keiji was disappointed with himself for losing, because for him a draw was a loss. It was only victory or defeat, both could be measured to a degree and a draw would be considered a close loss. His eyes dropped as he thought of this. "Lady Ren must feel even worse," he said, still in Japanese, "her duel ended in even worse conditions..."

As the young girl walked towards her tent thinking of all the thing her brother would be yelling at her about. Lady Ren just hoped that he wouldn’t find out any time soon about what happened, even though everything is told to the man when it happens. So soon enough the princess finally got to her tent and walked inside, and once in she let out a sigh, she was safe for a little bit in her own tent. She quickly threw on a new clean shirt, and the princess also made sure it covered the wound so it was not noticeable. Before she departed from the tent she threw some water on her face to get some of the dirt and blood off. Once she finished getting the mixture of blood and dirt off her face she began to think of that fight that she had to with draw from, it has always been hard for her family to retreat from a battle but she knew that Keiji didn’t call her back she would have been killed. The princess promised herself the next time she would meet that girl, the other girl will be the one running. With that thought she exited the tent and began to walk around hoping to see her brother or another officer, even if she would meet back up with Keiji that would be fine, maybe she could learn some of the man’s language.
