[ Xishen..... He doesn't recall hearing the name, but he's smart enough (even after getting the snot beat out of him) to put two and two together. Reflexively, his eyes flick over to where Xishen stands on the far side of the cavern, calmly treating yet another of their wounded crew.
He has a lot of questions for her as well, but later. After a meal and a nap.
Which he thinks the both of them could use as he surveys Ciel a second time, noting the streaks of blood that cover her clothing. Even if she holds herself well and talks in a clear voice still, there's no one who won't benefit from a good rest right now. But showing any amount of concern for a person has always been difficult for him, and his voice remains gruff when he replies. ]
...The same for you.
[ Don't overwork yourself, Ciel. :/ :/
But like a good patient, he'll do as ordered, pushing himself up back into a standing position before slowly shuffling towards the direction of the boat. ]
