The apology was noted, though Yue didn't respond directly to it. He breathed out a faint sigh and straightened again, trying his best to hide the wince as the movement brought his newest wound under the stream of water. Taking a moment to adjust the controls of his shower, setting the water rather colder than most would have liked it, let him pretend to be busy as he considered what Fai had said.
Again, logically, it made sense. If he kept his return home his ultimate goal, then whatever he did here was a means to that end. If he helped those here, it wasn't a betrayal of his main purpose, it didn't lessen his devotion to the Mistress of the Cards. Now if he could only convince himself of that.
"It'll definitely be all right!" He could almost see Sakura speaking the words, so determined to succeed. He owed her nothing less.
Yue finally glanced back at Fai and nodded once, slowly. "What did you plan for tonight?" Not only a return to the previous, perhaps safer topic of conversation, but a step toward possibly finding a way out. If the search was successful.
