How do I keep myself from fallin' apart when I ain't never felt part of a whole?
Hotaru leaves the man in her care with his fellows, healed externally if not within. There is only so much she can do, not just for him but for herself. She's not surprised Deimos takes it upon himself to retrieve the last merchant's body, but her mind reaches for him regardless. Be safe. There is little to nothing that can harm him physically here, but he will know that's not what she means.
As for herself, she focuses on the wagons. This day has been nightmarish enough and she doesn't want to linger any longer than she has already been forced to. Selfish as she is she contemplates making the merchants do it themselves. They've already rescued them, killed the lamplighters, and healed them. Did they have to baby them too?
Still, she discards those uncharitable thoughts for the sake of keeping the peace. For now she focuses on the wheels, using her minimal creation magic to help reattach that which she cannot find or which is broken and utilizing the heat of her fire magic in her palms to bend and shape things into place. When materials grow scarce she silently strides into Mildew's former abode, hunting through the place and its exterior storage to find what she needs to finish this horrible rescue event.

Ru uses her creation/fire magic to begin repairing the fittings for the wheels and then searching Mildew's house for any replacements that can't be made.
