Snippet #2239421

Ryu Hitara

His eyes widened as he watched Fletcher unleash a bolt from his crossbow. The paper flew straight and right into a tree, making a thudding sound and sticking soundly. Turning to the pageling, Ryu gave him his usual grin and winked, "Looks good there, Fletcher. Glad I could have you along for the ride. Apologies before hand if things go sour. Don't worry, I won't let any harm come to either of you. It doesn't matter if that woman could turn this world inside out, I wouldn't let it happen," he tapped his lip with a finger, "Though if she could turn the world inside out that would be pretty damned scary... Anyway! She's bad enough, but that doesn't matter. We have to find Takashi. She's an amazing Guardian and I know for sure that we'll have the upper hand once we find her," Ryu rambled as he started towards the trees and entered the forest. As he walked, he talked, and as he talked he thought about possible hiding places for his two wards.

"You know, now that I think of it, I was only supposed to have one ward," he turned his eyes to Fletcher, "I wonder what the order's gonna say about this one. Well, it doesn't matter anyways, I'll still take you as my ward if anything, especially if no one else is available. Or maybe Takashi would like to take you under her wing... Who knows. Either way, you'll definitely be protected."

Ryu made his way through the thick brush quickly, jumping up onto a huge fallen log, he looked around, trying to see if there were any signs of Takashi. However, with the dense foliage and trees, it was near impossible to tell if anyone other than deer and local animals had been through there. Turning he sighed heavily.

"Man, what I would give to have a papercraft that found people," he muttered, then reached down to help Adelaide up onto the log.
