Utsusemi sent message to the Yamato Maru as she returned to the Kunshu Maru herself, asking for Yogo Akarei's assistance with Sanjuro's condition... and to bring Sanjuro's cat with her, if possible. In truth, she didn't know if the cat was still alive after the storm, but she knew the feline was fond of her brother-in-law, and he was fond of the creature too... even if he didn't admit it.

If he doesn't make it... no, he will make it. He has to.

Climbing back on board the ship, she informed the crew to direct Akarei to her part of the ship; when Kenzo had brought Sanjuro onboard, Utsu had given up her space without a moment's hesitation, and she now returned to his side, secretly hoping he had made some miraculous recovery in the time she had been gone.

The first officer of the Yamato Maru came to the ship as quickly as possible. She had scoured the deck for the cat but had ultimately realized she possessed no knowledge on the feline creatures. She concluded that her crew member was in no condition to move. Why else would they not have brought him to the ship he's stationed on?

"Sorry for being late," she murmured before giving a polite bow. She tapped her fingers against her scroll satchel and gave a nervous smile. "What exactly happened?"

"Yogo-san," there was a breath of relief in her tone, "glad to see you made it through the storm unharmed, and that you could come so quickly."

Utsusemi gestured for Akarei to join her. "Mirumoto-san was looking for survivors after the storm and found Sanjuro-san; unconscious and covered with stings from some sort of local wasp that seems to have potent venom. He brought him back here, hoping I could heal him, but... it's outside of my skills."

Her gaze lowered as she struggled to maintain her On for a moment. "... It's not looking good, Yogo-san. Mirumoto-san has gone to look for a possible cure from the locals, but..."

There were so many ifs and buts and everything was just looking bleak from her point of view.

"Wasps? I suppose we will need to be careful on the island," she murmured, mostly to herself. She walked up to the man and let out a soft sigh. "I think I will be able to help. I simply hope that the earth kami will hear me out here and on this vessel."

She stretched out her arms and looked to the woman beside her. "I will have to return, then. They appreciate works of labor, shrines constructed from stone and whatnot." The redhead gave a soft shrug. "I would ask for rocks to be fetched for me but that would defeat the purpose."

I should have done it before coming...

Sanjuro's state didn't change much. He was in anaphylactic coma, swollen and pale.

"I've done what I can for the damages the storm caused him... as well as keeping him hydrated with water and nourished with thin soup, but his condition makes it difficult."

"Anything I can do to assist your communion with the kami, Yogo-san?" Utsusemi asked, showing that willingness to step up for the job that she had the entire journey.

"No," she stated firmly, "But your offer is, well appreciated." She gave an apologetic bow and hurried out to search for some rocks.

First she started with some pebbles and climbed back onto the ship. She opened up the scroll and recited the prayed to no avail. The priestess sighed and remarked, "I suppose the earth kami thought I was being lazy with this offering." She then left the ship once more to carry a few more, heftier rocks, ones surely grand enough to make an impression.

Still, there was nothing.

"Blasted..."

For the first time in a long while, she dropped her scroll satchel, knife, anything but her wakizashi and clothing before heading back out. She requisitioned some rope and tied a boulder to herself to carry onto the ship. And once she had placed it in the room, she hurried back out to get another one, just to be safe.

By the end of it, she was a sweaty mess, something she hoped would never happen in front of the Agasha. "The Bayushi despise the number three so hopefully it works this time..."

The first trip with rocks and pebbles surprised her, so the second turn didn't surprise her quite as much... but then Akarei came back with a boulder?! Her On dropped as she looked on with impression and absolute shock. That Akarei was a sweaty mess hardly registered with her, and the show of strength had made her temporarily forget the situation of her brother-in-law.

If the prayer worked, she could not tell, but she offered a piece of cloth and some water to the priestess after she finished intoning the prayer.

"... I... have never seen anything like that... do the kami always request such tasks of you?"

Endowed in the blessings of the kami, Sanjuro moved. He started rocking violently and gasping for air, clawing with his fingers around, muffling some sounds, though it did not look like he would regain consciousness unless he would win this fight. And he would have had his body not been severely weakened by hours spent in water before the sea cast him away. So when the foaming returned he soon ran out of strength and limped again, the movement of his fluttering lids cut like with a knife.

She didn't have time to wait for an answer, as something happened. Seeing his body violently fight back against the poison had her paralyzed in fear more than the storm, the ningyo, or the attempted mutiny had.

His body went limp and she broke out of her paralysis, rushing quickly to his side to check his condition. Already she was fearing the worst. "Please, no... don't die..."

The pulse was there, barely.

"In some instances, the kami are quite understanding if you just invoke them without an offering. A true priestess knows to appease them, however, for they deserve our reverence." She took a deep breath as she wiped the sweat off her brow. "And with them lying dormant, I figured an offering would get their attention."

The redhead then looked to Sanjuro, less concerned than the other woman present. However, her expression was still quite serious. "I admit, I am unsure if the poison is still within his body. Healing is not my specialty."

Utsusemi pressed her lips together as she held back the emotions that nearly washed over her.

"... He's not seeming to improve. Maybe it bought him sometime, I don't know, but his pulse is faint. He..." she breathed deeply, composing herself. "Mirumoto-san and Miya-san went out to look for a cure from one of the locals. I just... I just pray it will be enough."

Please, Kenzo. You've never failed before...

"His body has suffered much from the storm, but there's only so much I can do now."

"It may be the damage to his body has been too much, beyond this poison. Or perhaps the venom is of some strange type that is beyond this prayer." The Yogo sighed and tucked away the scroll back into her satchel. "I am not incredibly skilled in mundane medicine. I can only perform basic sutures and the like."

She gave the white-haired woman a deep bow. "Please forgive me for not doing more, Agasha-sama."

"... There is nothing to apologise for, Yogo-san," she forced a smile, trying not to cast blame and all her worries at the Scorpion. "It's been a long day for all of us... maybe we just need to try again tomorrow."

She wasn't sure if Sanjuro had that long, but she hoped that Kenzo and Edogawa at least would return with something that would buy him more time.

"He's a member of you crew, but... I don't know if it's safe to move him around much more," Utsusemi looked at the unconscious man with obvious concern before looking back to Akarei.

"Maybe there is more I can do. More research." She paused. "Well, my tomes were ruined in the journey, but something else." Akarei shifted her gaze away, a bit superfluous with her mask, though she was still embarrassed. "I would like to be of more help, Agasha-sama."

"Your assistance is greatly appriciated, Yogo-san," she nodded. "Perhaps, when Mirumoto-san comes back, we'll know if Sanjuro-san will be safe, or if there is more we can try."

She looked over the Scorpion, her gaze both concerned and comforting. "You weren't hurt in the storm, were you?"
