Ah well. At least now Hakkai could safely say that he hadn't been the reason they'd stopped.

"Were Gojyo here, I might say he'd gotten himself into some sort of trouble. Being that he is not here, though, I'm sure it's nothing." Except that he wasn't, and that was the problem. Kenren was not Gojyo, and anyway, Kenren could take care of himself. So it must be his imagination. Yes. Just his imagination.
