How much blood did he watch stain the prison floor in the last few hours? How much had he himself shed? No lives were taken, sure—but Kaito certainly didn't bother stopping anyone past Hibiki and Company from ending any lives. Marius, Claude...
His Shadow's been having a hell of a time watching Kaito toe the line. But he's tired. He's barely hanging on to Hibiki as they ride off past Stygia (the kelpie (he thinks it's a kelpie) is really cool, but now isn't the time), and it won't be long until they hit the shoreline.
Hibiki's doing her best to seal her discomfort and pain away, but they're outside the Gallows now. He doesn't need the bond to feel her anguish.
Kaito doesn't wrap his arms tighter, but he does scoot closer and rest his chin on her shoulder. He's warm. Even through the blood caked on his cheek, he's so warm. ]
Do you want me to teleport us to my place?
[ A beat. He can see the waves now, and it adds an extra layer of queasiness that he really doesn't need right now. ]
...Actually, don't answer that. I'm going to open a portal.
