[ Not a priority, but a possibility worth acting on to complete the mission.
A simple answer that Mikazuki allows to lie at the foundation of his choice. This once, it's a mutually beneficial order, one that toes the line between obedience and independence. At his side, the pelted creature buckles on its ankles, its breathing hazy. In a quick, decisive dip of movement, he turns aside, pulling her arm over his shoulder and hiking her up onto his back. She's heavy enough, but he balances well, supplying his own inexhaustible strength to hoist her into a carry that's a bit more fair then his usual choice.
Even with his cargo, he makes his way over to the last of the creatures in containment. One with wicked teeth and metallic feathers that edge down its body like knives, the other the first watery cell they encountered when entering. ]
