Fai watched the ninja retreat, surprise etched on his face for a moment. It was like he was running..that was Fai's trick. Fai tilted his head up and let the water wash over his face, debating on his choices. Kurogane had told him where he was going..which meant he could follow if he wanted to. Reaching out he turned off the water but he just paused there for a moment as he considered retreating somewhere else. But he felt he had started something and to just leave the ninja to dwell on those words was probably not wise.

Finally turning away, Fai went to dry off and get dressed.
