It took a while to get back to the tea shop - longer than Wash would have liked, with the potential for Nightmare attacks. They somehow made it back without running into any of the malevolent dream eaters; either they'd all been scared away by the explosion, or Namine's luck was good enough to balance out Wash's terrible track record, or someone up there had decided to take mercy. Either way, Wash wasn't complaining as he helped Namine through the door, ushered in their Spirits, and shut the door behind them. "Do you want to go upstairs or stay here?" He was getting to the point where he wanted to find a corner and collapse, but he wasn't about to leave Namine until he was absolutely certain she'd be okay.
