Thanks! I'll work on adding detail to my surroundings. Question: Humanoid enemy? I'm kind of worried about how Azamiko would deal with a fight...She's resourceful, but not a warrior type. With this setting, my best bet would be a sling-using the jacket-or some sort of club found on the ground-a part of a street sign, maybe.
Azamiko rolled her eyes as she climbed over one last bit of rubble. It looked like a car that had been ripped in half and then crushed. It was all well and good for Lukas to act all spy-like, with his ability to keep balanced while climbing over the strangest bits and pieces, but she wasn't trained as a soldier! Oh, something new to add to her list of things she knew about herself! Grinning, the girl caught up to her companion.
"Yes, dear, coming dear. Honestly, Lukie, you just can't stand to be away from me, can you?" The girl batted her eyelashes at the soldier, figuring that he was more interested in casing the street than getting angry with her. It was always nice to tease someone who wouldn't realize what was going on until he was caught up in the middle of it. And anyway, he seemed like the type who could take a joke.
After Lukas' lack of reaction, Azamiko finally took the time to study her surroundings. Sure, she'd taken them in peripherally, but hey, if soldier-boy was so worried, there was probably a reason, right? Unless he'd been in combat so long that he'd been driven to mad bouts of paranoia, she reminded herself as she looked around.
To a casual viewer--though how a casual observer would end up here was something Azamiko couldn't imagine--this crumbled, decimated street looked exactly like any one of the others that surrounded it. Broken windows, torn up street, random pieces of cars and trucks and whatever else strewn about like discarded toys. Yes, it looked pretty much like any other part of the city. However, if one looked closely...
"Oi, Lukie-luv. I've been here before, and I think I know the way out, unless you want to hang around and party some more." Azamiko grinned as she nodded at a lamp-post half-jutting out of what had probably been an apartment house. "Thank the gods for geographic memory, huh?"
I tried to add more description of setting. And as for the geographic memory...I keep worrying that I'm going to do something that will intgerfere with what you have planned, but it really is something that it seems likely that Azamiko would have, especially with all the moving around she does. Note: I actually do have one as well. If I go to a place once, I can almost always find it again without even thinking about it. It comes in useful when I'm the one who drives my friends everywhere. As for my writing style...I feel like it became a little more in-character in this post. Azamiko is, as you noted, more than a little whimsical. And thank you for not saying 'silly' or 'eccentric.'
