[Itto is very much a tank, which means there's no shields or healing to depend on - all fine with him, since he's used to it. Ushi makes a reappearance a few more times, each time being thrown to crash into a phantom and sticking around long enough to draw some of the attacks his way before he disappears. He doesn't quite notice that Aether isn't taking damage like he is]
—catch?!
[oh heck.
He slams his claymore into the floor to stop his path forward - and to keep his balance as he slips a little on the shattered pieces of flowers under his feet. But the claymore helps him reverse his momentum, too, and it disappears as he rushes to get underneath the falling traveler -
It's far from a graceful catch, he nearly drops Aether as he slips and goes down to a knee, but it's a catch]
