Hakkai considered it for a moment and shrugged a shoulder. "I'm not sure, I don't think he was so awful," he said. He was probably lying, especially since he still felt that if he crossed paths with Josh again any time soon, he would likely act on temptation and attempt to knock a few of his teeth out. After thinking that, he finally mustered the slightest bit of guilt, fully aware of the fact that smacking the Savior around after he had passed on an extremely meaningful message probably wasn't the best way to show appreciation --
-- Even if listening to that message had pained him more than nearly anything else on Earth. Even if Hakkai felt the overwhelming need to share just how much it hurt to hear it.
He finally looked up and had a vague sense of deja vu, wondering for a moment just how many months it had been since they had first met. Those first couple of months had an unpleasant habit of all mushing together in his memory, and it was hard to remember if it had been over or under a full year just yet. "I'm fine," he said, probably sounding less convincingly than he imagined, "we can go back." He hesitated before taking Sanzo's hand and hauling himself up, adding quietly, "Please lead the way."
