Snippet #2240586

Fletcher listened to Ryu's first part of the ramble with a small smile on his face. This guy talked way to much in his opinion, but that was okay. He didn't plan on staying around him much longer after that Fallen woman gave up chasing him. He shook his head with a grin and followed Ryu into the forest, glancing at Adelaide as he did. She hadn't exactly spoken throughout the whole course of this thing. Then again, she didn't look like one for talking, either. Well, I guess she has her reasons...

Fletcher's interest in his ramble picked up when Ryu said, "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."

His brow furrowed. "How did you even know I didn't have a Guardian? Ohh..." He smacked his forehead with his palm. "I guess it was kinda obvious when no one came to help when the Fallen tried to attack me.... You? My guardian?" Fletcher shuddered, a chill running up and down his spine. "No, no thanks. No offense to you or anything, but... my last guardian..." He shook his head once, glancing down. "I'm not gonna talk about that." Even though Ryu was actually younger than him by a couple years, it reminded him too much of Richard. I'm definitely not ready to have a male Guardian again yet.

"But," he continued, "It has been a long time since my last Guardian... you know. I need another one really soon." Fletcher shrugeed a bit, fiddling with his crossbow. "I guess we'll see, won't we."

"Man, what I would give to have a papercraft that found people,"

Fletcher kneeled and examined the ground for a moment. "Have you tried... nah. Nevermind." He was going to suggest trying to track them, but this was a park. Anyone could have left any tracks that were found, so it was rather pointless to try. He stood and bounded up onto the log, searching around for any signs of life.
