[The sense of comfort is mutual. They've only had each other to rely on out here, and it's only through their mutual support that they'll be able to escape. Hijikata returns the squeeze of Rider's hand as she cuts her throat once more. Why does it have to be this way? Even if Pegasus was born from her blood, this is...
His reservations aside, he's grateful that Pegasus still answers Rider's call despite the Darkness in the area. If not for him they really would have had no hope of getting out of this situation alive! Their charge picks up tempo fast, and the wind and light become overbearingly strong and bright... Hijikata presses up against Rider's back, like he did before. I'm sorry we didn't win this battle, Rider.
He still feels the faint burn of the Command Seals on his hand. Once they're as far away as their exhausted energy will carry them they'll set up camp and sleep - probably through the night and the next day -, but after that, once they have recovered some strength, once they have time for a meal and a talk, he'll have so many questions. He needs to know how to be a good Master for his new Servant.]
