"Minato!"
"Idiot! Didn't I tell you to stay still?! You could seriously be hurt and here you are thinking it's a good idea to be up and walking? What happens if you permanently damage yourself and you end up not being able to walk or move ever again!? Would you listen to what I say then?"
Although the walk was supposedly short, his constant limping and the pain in his arm made it felt like a year long. Every now and then, his vision blurred. He didn't know what caused it, but he suspected that it might because he was losing blood. Then his got lightheaded for a moment but he kept on walking instead. If there was something that was making him do this, it'd probably be because of the situation they're in now. All he had on his mind was the scene he just saw and it messed up his rational thinking.
Until someone screamed.
He stopped immediately and stared in the air, trying to decode the scream earlier. Whose voice was it? It was awfully familiar. Instantly, judging from the scene before, he quickly realized that it was Yuna that screamed. But, as he deciphered the scream more, he also figured out that it wasn't a scream; rather, it was an angry shout at his name. He blinked and few times and found Yuna stomping her way towards him. Cold sweat immediately broke out and realizing that he disobeyed her orders, he would be receiving a scolding later on.
Minato quickly tried to laugh it off. He was close enough to actually listen and see the situation now. Even though the man is now unarmed, the fact that he was able to swiftly turn the tides to his favor is no easy task; especially when Yuna is a trained soldier and esper. He looked at the old name that called himself Holland. He had already put down Yuna's gun and Valerie had gone to pick up the gun that Yuna seemed to have forgotten. With just a little push, they might be able to escape unharmed - not that thery weren't though. Perhaps he would be kind enough to treat and shelter the group for a while?
"Please beg our pardon, sir. We seemed to have trespassed your territory without permission, but forgive us. Our transport, like my friend said, had a little malfunction and it sent us crashing here." He tried to steady his breathing and make his speech seem more normal. He approached the old man. " My name is Minato Kurayama, and again, we would like to apologize for the lost of your crop field." He slowly bowed down, his right hand still holding his left shoulder. "We shall take our leave until we are all recovered. Until then, we would like to borrow a shelter. Any kind would do. We won't be staying long." He had really hoped that the old man would accept his request. What they need the most now is to rest and fighting against someone now would be impossible. None of them could fight now and even if they did, they would break down in the middle of a fight.
"My friend here is right, as you can tell by hobbles over there and with blood covering half my face, my friends and I aren't in the best of shape."
"We'll be gone and out of your hair as soon as we can. If you can spare any kind of resources to speed that along I'm know my friends and i would really appreciate it."
Valerie seemed to be acting more matured. He appreciated it. He's negotiation might go bad but if more people were into it, the old man might take pity and grant them their requests.
