[Aether winces slightly as the wound is cleaned but he's grateful for Gorou's help. The other has always been so good to him. The foot is soon bandaged perfectly and Aether is tempted to give it a try to see if he can walk on his own.

That's when his companion speaks. In the end, the traveler doesn't move from his spot, continuing to sit down as he stares at his foot. It's true that he can't continue on like this. They need to head back.]

Right... I guess, we'll have to try again some other time.

[He sounds somewhat disappointed. He wanted to spent the day with Gorou but instead he caused him trouble.

...Suddenly, an idea pops in his mind.]

Once we go back, do you think you could stay with me? I think I'll be stuck in bed for some time so it would be nice to have some company.

[He smiles.]
