Now it was a good thing that Meiling usually failed to stop Marisa - because she could use that as a defense. She wasn't really paying much attention, didn't usually even bother trying to stop Marisa on her way out, after all, so she'd just slipped by, Meiling explained. As angry as Sakuya was, she was at least in no mood to take it out on the gate guard, apparently, which left her hurried and somewhat lame excuse sufficient.

Lucky for Marisa, Sakuya didn't really know the gardens as well as Meiling did, so shoving her in a shed was actually enough.

She'd... saved Marisa's bacon. Seriously. After all the times Marisa had gotten her in trouble, and how much praise she'd get for stopping the witch, she found herself helping her out, and quietly ducked into the shed when the coast was clear. "Are you hurt?"
