>She chuckles and reaches down to stroke the feathers of a bird that just landed beside her. "No, I'm needed here. As well, moving through the city is a unpleasant experience, moreso with all the anger in the air."

>Satori nods, and waves as you make your upward and fly over the top of the Palace.
>Glancing down, you can see that Brawl has worked itself significantly closer to the Palace of the Earth Spirits, but is now down to just two oni slugging it out, so you doubt that it would be a real problem.
>You make your way across the quiet and fairly empty city, approaching the clinic. As you reach the proper street, you notice there are quite a few cots lined up in the road outside the front doors, many of the occupied.

>That's definitely a problem.
>You swoop down toward the clinic door, before you hear Murasa's voice call out, "Oy, you don't wanna go in there."
>Looking over, you see her busy wrapping a small oni's arm in a splint. Looking around at the patients, you can see that most of the seem to have bandages suggesting broken limbs, noses, and so on. They largely look pretty spent, you've seen that sort of exhaust in on the faces of oni who have been whipped in a barfight; they're done until something else sets them off.
