"That may be so, but if you're at 10% HP and I'm at 30%, it's only that much easier for an enemy to kill you," Yukimura explained with an example before continuing, "it's better if I'd be at 25%, and you'd be at 25%. Or me at 10% and you at 30%." It was rather odd, but it didn't seem that the swordsman put much care in how much HP he had, and was more concerned with how much HP Lily had. Though perhaps that could be chalked up to him being a higher level than her.

Yukimura scanned their surroundings once more before finally sheathing his blade. If he noticed Lily's flustered blushing, he didn't remark on it. Rather, he just set off on the road. "Better safe than sorry," he said, nodding in affirmative, "Let's head to town and recuperate before we get caught in a fight we can't win."
