[ It came as no surprise to Yuri that, upon returning to her side, Hayame was no longer awake. After checking her vitals, as best he could with his limited knowledge of Jinba physiology — which is to say, none at all — he wanted to believe she was stable at least. He wished Byleth were around to keep an eye on her, but there was nothing for it.
During the time he had, he busied himself with preparations for when she woke. After a hasty application of a cleansing spell to remove the blood from her clothing, Yuri hunted down what provisions he could. Ideally, she'd need foods that would help her to recover the blood she'd lost, for this was one thing spells simply couldn't provide for.
Well, perhaps blood magic could in theory, but experts in that field were scarce. It could be that none existed in Kenos.
So the next best measure would be meat. That too was out of the question, given their diminuitive size. For that matter, he had no idea whether Hayame ate meat. She'd mentioned rice and some bitter vegetable before... It was just as well that he knew alternatives.
Dandelion greens were, despite the disdain of nobles from the south, both edible and good for health. A few well-placed Cutting Gales were sufficient to gather a large amount of dandelion leaves, enough that he needed to make a return trip for these alone. Next was the greater challenge. Finding a fallen nut was easy, but cracking it...that required more explosive magic and gathering up the nut meat that littered the surrounding area thereafter.
By the time Hayame is coming to, Yuri has managed to bring everything back to the little hidden camp, stoke the fire, clean the foodstuffs he'd gathered, and is well underway with cooking bits of what he takes for walnut on a heated stone while he chops up greens. They may not have everything he'd like to have handy in this situation, but it should do. ]
...You back with us, Hayame? [ A beat. ] Turn of phrase. It's just me until Byleth's back from his patrols.
