Hmm...perhaps he spoke a bit to quietly...or perhaps he was a bit better in concealing his intensity then he thought. or maybe the year he was away made them not really think much of him... he could see they did have pressing matters to attend to, going straight for the core of the beast. And it seemed that the team didn’t take much time to form. Including a Shinobi he didn’t know from seeing, but seemed to be close to intent on assisting Sousuke as much as he could. Heh...it was good to know someone was there to watch Sousuke when he was gone... But the thought someone needed to step in for hat was much less pleasant. After a moment he actually noticed Sousuke looking at him...a blank stare...did he recognize him...was he ready to actually speak with one of the people he abandoned without notice?
Still, as they went for the core, Haru hesitated in joining them. Partly cause of the exhaustion of traversing the desert, and the fight taking its tole...part of him worried whether he could have contracted the dieses...and perhaps he wasn’t as ready to meet his friends as he thought. Not yet. A cowards way out...maybe. But this was something he felt he could afford to be a bit of coward about. With the way thing were going, he'd have a lot of chances to not back down in the face of death for sure. he deiced to heed the call of the Medical Chief (who he also could not recall meeting before...as strange as that could have been) and get himself checkup...he was hurt by the wyrm, the last thing they needed in a mission deep into the monster was him not being at his best...be it physically or mentally.
