Takai laughed boisterously at the peoples hatred.

A long silence fell over the group of cultists and cowboys. Seru squinted at the cultist before turning around fully to face them and hesitating a brief Rockian moment. Deals on the Rock were...rocky. It was normal to expect betrayal and even death. Seru had witnessed her first betrayal a long time ago, among the desert sands in the cool of the night, where her father lay dead and cold beneath her.

Yet a gloved hand reached out to the cultist and the woman nodded, "Ya got yerselves a deal."

"Heroic, you say?" A loud voice boomed from the crowd. Takai had leapt down from the wall and parted the sea of people around him as he sauntered graciously toward Yuwen Fortune and the stage that had piqued his interest, "Well, there are none more heroic than I, The Noble Shaming Arrow of Flaming Lae Ming Wae!"

Audible murmurs sounded from the crowd. A notorious criminal was here in Poyo. He grinned at the assembled group, "I shall join you."

Takai reached into one of his pockets and pulled out a small, wooden carved monkey. He stared at its crude form for a moment before silently handing it over to Jensu.

Books danced around them as Caithe contemplated what to do next. It was a hard decision, but she would try to save them all eventually, "As much as I would like to punch Malkini in his traitor face and get the Murshlatan back, I think perhaps that can wait until last. After all, while we're dabbling in Seed territory I think it would be best kept in safe hands...not exactly trustworthy, but safe nonetheless."

She frowned, choosing between friends was something she didn't want to do, "As for Bella and Nulix...well, Nulix seems to be good at talking his way out of sticky situations. If it turns for the worse, Bellatrix is a great fighter. They should be alright for now...I sincerely hope."

"I'm worried about Wing and Xane," she continued, "They can hardly stand up, which is exactly why Mellodia and Darius were going to help them. If Darius cant even get out of whatever trouble those two are in, it cant be good."

The bookkeeper paused for a minute, noisy rustling of moving pages filling the silence, "I don't believe we'll be able to help Xane and Wing alone anymore. Perhaps it would be best to assist Darius and Mellodia first...their situation is the most mysterious."
