Kazuha was exploring the woods in peace and silence when he heard a sudden noise from a slightly far proximity. He looked around and followed said noise, watching for possible danger. What he heard was a noise of someone or something falling— possibly through a bush, and it seemed like a rough fall; the noise was loud, even with his heightened hearing.

He slowly approached the direction of the mysterious noise, eyes narrowed and senses alert. He kept his hand on his sword in case anything happened, and a trail of cautious but calm wind surrounded him.

When he finally arrived near the origin of the sound he had heard, he carefully approached. He then heard a few recognizable sounds; a few cuss words, and the dusting of fabric. He concluded it was a person who fell, but he did not know who. For all he knew, it could be fatui or treasure hoarders— but as he got closer and closer, he started speculating who the person might have been.

He spoke in a neutral, calm voice, tilting his head. He lowered his hand from his sword and took in a deep breath before he noticed that you were covered in scratches and a few wounds. He saw that you were about to touch them, probably to check. He immediately grabbed your wrist to stop you.

"Ah, ah, ah— do not touch your wounds, it might get infected. I thought we already went through this."

He spoke in a firm but calm tone. Kazuha was treating you like how he had been before you two got close; calm, collected, and utterly mysterious. He doesn't show his real feelings. He does this to you as you have now been separated— in other words, you were a stranger. You shouldn't have any significant meaning to him, but-

"Let me see. No objections."
