All of their efforts wasted, Ieyasu had been spared, but at Water's expense. Kai's stomach had dropped and the void was filled with a dense, cold guilt. Guilt for perhaps not being as selfless as to offer herself up. Guilt for stopping Ieyasu in place of Water. Guilt for fucking up so badly in the first place. Salty tears stained her cheeks and seeing the heartbreak from the older boys just caused fresh ones to stream down her face. Life was was so fragile for how short it already was.

The less experienced members of the latter group were all starting to offer themselves up, doing the most and saying the most. What was the real acid in the wound had been was that this was only just the firt day, less than a fraction of the way into their journey. Everything was going to shit, and so far there seemed to be no light at the end of the future, but at long last, Smiling Mountain's message was finally starting to sink.

Act as one to conquer all.

But that would be a work in progress, it wasn't something so simple as just changing clothes and taking on a new role. So now, while they seemed to have a small bit of time to mourn and recuperate, the first person she went to was the bushy haired boy known as Fire. Leaning brow first into the ground, she gently padded to kneel by his side and timidly reached out a hand to touch his shoulder. He seemed to be the most affected by the young boy's death, and even if her attempt at quiet solace was rejected, she moved back to give him some space but quickly brought her hands together in prayer. Either way, she prayed aloud for him and maybe some others to hear. Kai had little else besides paper to offer at this point, but with her bookworm knowledge, perhaps she could at least bring some inner consolement. "Oh great mother of the beyond, carry our dearly departed to a new life in happiness. He was a good soul, and we shall forever be grateful for his selfless gesture. Let him now watch down upon us so that we might do well in his absence to celebrate his life, and draw strength from his kindness. He shall be heavily missed and..." She uttered a few more lines and then rose. If he made any indication of condoning her presence, she would linger, but if it seemed more obvious that he wished to be left alone, Kai indulged.

Eventually she would make her way over to the poor blonde boy that had been rescued by Ozai, and she huddled off to his left side, holding the ram seal to produce a small sheets of paper. Her chakra was dwindling, but she'd had enough to spare for someone that truly needed it like Krenhs. "How is he, Ozai?" She looked at him with a slightly less wet face. Dabbing the small post-it note sized square with her tongue, it was the best she could do to wet it up. And though she couldn't heal him, she would do the next best thing and start to clean his wounds. Starting with his face, she smoothed away all the blood and dirt, trying to be as gentle as she could cause him any discomfort or agitate his skin. "Thank you, for saving us."
