By the time the others had returned to his location, Liu was deep in meditation, his wound having recovered enough to at least stop the bleeding. He'd still require some medical attention, to be sure, but at least the worst it it was over. Reduced to a dull aching, Liu could feel the blood slowly pulsing through his shoulder. The Lightseeker apprentices back at the temple would probably love to take a shot at something like this, and the teachers were always happy about getting new... Well, 'test subjects' that weren't the usual town idiots.

Slowly pushing himself off the ground, Liu warily attempted to move his right arm around. The pain didn't seem to be increasing, at the very least, though it probably wouldn't do to move it any more than necessary. Though... Given how his arm wasn't exactly moving as well at it usually did, there was a possibility that something was still lodged in there. Fun.

"Hopefully the others aren't any worse off than I am. That was a lot of arrows I heard hitting the ground..." Liu sighed, glancing at the arrow at his feet before shaking his head and turning to the still-unconscious bandit that had been tied up earlier. Good. Bastard didn't get free.

His own comments were interrupted, however, when the sound of rapid footsteps came closer and closer to his location from where Xin, Torako, and Kyang had run off to earlier. Quickly moving behind the tree and out of the direct line of sight of whatever was coming to him, Liu's breathing hastened as he put his left hand onto his weapon's handle. Seeing that it was just Torako, though, Liu let out a sigh of relief and smiled.

At least, before noticing the giant splotch of blood on Torako's face and clothing.

"Whoa, that's... That's something. Damn, what'd I miss?" Liu asked, looking behind the bloodstained girl for their other two companions. "Did you get the other bandits, too?"
