Hibari had been one of the last ones to leave, since it was hard to decide whether to stay and bite the Rulers to death, or to leave and wait for another day to do so. Obviously, he'd eventually taken the latter option (it wouldn't be easy to bite them to death without any weapons) - despite lagging behind, he quickly catches up to the rest of the escapees, in particular one wizard that was weakly panting against a tree, clearly winded.

It takes but a second for him to decide what to do - Howl could possibly be useful later on - so he marched up to the wizard, grabbed his collar, and pulled him along, navigating the woods with ease, though slightly slowed by the other man he was now dragging along.

"I thought you were good at running," he remarks, hardly out of breath, even as he leaps over a fallen log, still pulling the wizard behind him.
