“How can he not be?” In Hiei’s opinion they might as well be lumped in together. If he had never tangled with that certain human teenager then their entire situation right now may be absolutely different. In what ways Hiei doesn’t yet know, of course, or may never really know. Sometimes that is for the better in the long run.
Hiei’s eyes narrow as Kurama again shrugs off his partial concern as to his condition. He is aware that at the very least Kurama had not been conscious for Bakken to enter the ring, but the entire episode of it all has rubbed Hiei raw in all the wrong places.
Under handed technique was to be expected in the demon world, he knows this of course, but when it comes to Kurama … Hiei would never admit how much the possibility of his imminent death had bothered him.
Curious to suddenly actually very much care for at least two demons and their current state.
“If I did not know you to conveniently avoid the truth I might believe you.” Hiei grumps, arms again crossed over his chest after his skulking, (half) joking jab at Kurama’s ribs.
“At any rate, the healing has helped.” Kurama’s dodge of the Bakken subject has seemingly worked as the little demon moves to look at his wrapped and warded arm.
“But there is a lot of ground to cover, so far as controlling the Dragon when I need it again.” Treating this as a looming eventuality makes more sense to Hiei than pushing off for later. With all the looming threat here, he will need to summon the dragon again.
