User: TsuyoshiLocation: Order of Archon-Testing Grounds"Why do I have to be here again?" The young girl asked with a sigh as she pushed a part of her silverly white hair out of her eyes. The man beside her pulled down his scarf so the she could see him smile as he gave his answer.
"Arashi, you know why we're here. They sent us an invitation, common courtesy says to show up." Arashi, being his DA, was half his size. which ment she had to look up when Tsuyoshi gave his answer. Which only made his smile seem smug instead of just a friendly gesture.
"Hmph, Technically they only invited you." She retorted after looking away from him. "They probably wouldn't care if I even showed up or not." If was her turn to smirk, since she felt like she won. But, when she looked back up and saw that he was still smiling, it was replaced with a quizzical stare.
"True," He began, "But, technically I'm not forcing you to do anything. If you want to leave, go right ahead." Finishing, Tsuyoshi turned his gaze torwards her awaiting her answer. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but after nothing came out she quickly closed it. Once again she broke eye-contact and turned her head away. "I never said I didn't want to be here." She mumbled barely audible, accepting defeat.
Seeing that the conversation had ended, Tsuyoshi turned his attention back to speechs being given. Because listening intently for periods of time wasn't exactly his forte, he kept nodding off in between them, waking up with the outbursts that followed them. Soon it became a tiresome circle, and appearently he wasn't the only one who thought so. After the man he vaguely regonized as the Grand General silenced the crowd of players near the front, Tsuyoshi just gave up trying to sleep.
As the group were being sorted, he tried to piece together what was happening from the bits of information he had heard. Just as he reached the right conclusion he heard his name being called. He made his way forward, joining his group in the circle. He saw that Alva, his friend and rival, was in the same group as him. But before he could say hi, the group was quickly being transported to their new location.
After awhile the platform slowed to a stop as it arrived at the new destination. Looking around at the new environment, He was instantly overcome with an eagerness to start. But its not like he was alone. He looked over at Alva, who made his way to the front, already raring to go. Chuckling, he walked over to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Always the eager one, eh?" He said, "But, then again, who am I to talk."
He looked back at Arkus and flashed him a smile. "As you can tell, we're waiting for our instructions," He began kindly enough, "So, if you can, please tell us them."
