Brushing her lips agaisnt the top of Mintaka's head in a feather-light kiss, Chariklo tensed a little at the request to spare Aurostibite. The name seemed familiar for some reason, though she couldn't figure out why. And why feel upset because Mintaka wanted to protect him? Deep down, Chariklo had decided to do her best to not have to go after Titan, after all. The decent ones should be spared, she thought.

"Only because you're asking," she said instead, forcing herself to relax. A look of regret flickered across her mobile features as her friend spoke of going back. "I suppose it might be a good idea. You've been through hell and back and you need rest."

She gnawed on her lip for a moment as she thought.

"All right. I can't feel a blessed thing power wise anywhere, so you get scooting before the jackasses decide to come out and play. And if you need me, you call me, got it?"

Smiling encouragingly, Chariklo gave the other girl another hug and then stood up. Part of her wanted to carry Mintaka back herself and stand guard. And maybe she would haunt the hospital roof for a while, but this was delicate stuff. Mintaka wouldn't ever get better if Chariklo tried to mother-hen her.

"You be good and take care. I'm sorry I can't shadow you going back, but I have some things that I can't put off. Text me when you're back in your room, all right?"

She couldn't help herself and hugged the girl yet again, doing her best to put all of her love and worry into the gesture without breaking Mintaka's bones.

"Love you, Princess. Be safe."

Releasing the other senshi, Chariklo took a step back and then gave the other a smart salute. It was time to go take care of some things.
