You're right. She's March. You know, before I was brought here, she was learning to use swords. She's only going to get stronger. [It's said wryly, but it's a reassurance for the both of them, hopefully. They can only hope. If she's safely home, then that's...good for her. He should be glad.
He'll still miss her terribly, though. Dan Heng looks to Hunter, his grip tightening a fraction on the boy's shoulder. Nothing painful, just acknowledgment, gratitude. ] Thank you for telling me. Don't go disappearing on me too, alright?

[ with a hint of--- almost a smile? but not quite, as this topic is too somber. ]
Whatever happens, March will be able to take care of it. That much I know.
[ she reminds him a lot of willow in that respect. incredibly strong-willed and fierce. scarily so, in fact ]
[ hunter breathes out a little sigh ]
... I don't.... I can't go back, anyway. So. I'm not planning on it.
