Riyeko/Peony/Siana/Li/Carolina - COMPLETE!
Carolina tossed the shield aside and took Li's hand, allowing him to lead her away. He did need a better sword if he was going to continue to fight.
On the other hand, he was wrong if he thought that he would be taking her somewhere safe. Either they would both go home, or neither of them would. Carolina was content, however, to wait to argue with him until they were out of earshot of the others.
