[Ouse bristles somewhat, lips pursing tightly in an expression of mild offense. Carrying her?? How undignified, even if she understands it might be a necessity right now. But Ginko is right in that there's a lot of those monkeys (and she's trying not to think too hard about militarized monkeys here) and if he's carrying her that leaves only one person fighting them off.

At length though, she bows her head in acceptance] I will have my knife, so I can at least attempt to stop any that might jump the two of us. I apologize for being such a burden right now and thank you. [Her priestess robes offered a lot more freedom of movement, but there was no way she was going to be changing right here.

After a moment she presses her fingertips lightly to the ground and bows low] I am Kurosawa Ouse. Please take care of me.
