[There's a moment when Natori worries that Chongyun won't stop-- that he'll insist on fighting it out over literally nothing. But thankfully, Chongyun is the rarest of all things: a reasonable teenager. He lets out a small sigh of relief when Chongyun steps back, but doesn't completely relax, and won't until they're back above ground. Hizen doesn't strike him as the type to offer to let them go and then attack them anyway, but then again if you'd asked Natori last week he would have said Hizen wasn't the type to do anything more than grumble and be antisocial.

Natori releases another pair of dolls that hover by him and Chongyun, then nods once to Hizen and turns around to head back down the tunnel. The dolls are meant to watch their backs, to warn him if Hizen decides to come after them anyway; Natori gestures for Chongyun to go first, because again, it's his duty as an adult exorcist even if he's fighting with a stick compared to Chongyun's big ass sword.

Once they've gone far enough back to the entrance with no sign of a tail, Natori murmurs]
We'll come back later. Thank you for your help; you did very well.
