June King
It wasn't his intention to kill the man. He didn't even want to come in contact with him. Instead he watched as his men fell one by one to the assassin like tricks of the man. Every move, which he personally, thought was predictable. Oh how he envied the idiocy of others at times. This of course not being one of them. In the end, he received all the information he needed and decided to let the man go. For he knew that the next time he laid eyes on the him, his target would be dead.
"Yes."
"How was it?"
"Entertaining if anything. He's too reckless. Like a beast or something other. Which in turn, I suppose, makes your assumption right."
"Nothing but a tasteless animal eh? Though still worthy of your affection?"
"That remains to be seen. In any case, since you were the one who requested it, I will bring his head to you."
"Fine then. Commence with the final test and exterminate the test subject."
"As you wish."

After putting pressure on the wound and taking out the bullet, June began to feel a little better. Akira's pills may have helped too, but June wasn't the one to belive in man made medicine. Of course he felt obliged to accept, not having the strength at the time to decline. The woods that made up the outskirts of the beautiful city they were just in, along with the open area where there were no trees and only dirt made June wonder about the rest of the world. It was like this in most places. Woodland areas which should flourish for hundreds of miles cut down by humans who have nothing better to do than to populate the world and destroy its beauty. Sure he knew that in a lot of places the opposite happens, but he couldn't help but wonder if one everything will be flat and open. In any case, it was almost a certain thing that the next time he returned to this place, the trees would all be cut. At least that's what building transports in the middle of these areas usually mean. Not that he'd really mind either. He'd much rather bourd a train legally than have to hitch a ride.
Even though the man heard her question and the alertness in her voice, he didn't say anything to it, still feeling a little heavy in his breathing. She patted him as if he was going to die. Was he going to die? He thought not at least. He didn't feel that way at all. Though he did feel the sensation of fever.
"Calm down," came the slow, but calm words from his mouth. He reached his hand over and patted her knee to give her a little contact to know he was okay. "Train should be here any time now."
Honestly to say, he didn't mind waiting for the train. It wasn't often that he was able to rest in the arms of another. In fact, he couldn't remember the last time, even when he was with a woman romantically, that he let someone hold him. It wasn't even really a matter of letting. He couldn't explain the barrier he had around him, nor how it got there. Maybe he just didn't feel the need to let someone hold him so. In any case, now that he was being held, he felt a sober feeling. One that would have put him in a deep sleep. Though, of course, right when he was getting use to the comfort, it was time to move. His eyes opened as he listened to the sound of the train, coming not to far off away from them.
Letting loose a sigh, he moved to sit himself up so that he could eventually stand.
"Alright. You should hold on to me. I'm going to grab onto one of the side rails and we'll go to the cargo hold. Later I'll find an empty cabin for us to stay in so we can order from the train attendants. Though, if there aren't any empty cabins, we'll probably have to find another means of food."
It was a smooth sounding plan, but anything could happen on public transportation. Still, as June grabbed onto the train, leading Akira to one of the supply cabins, which for one smelled of farm animal(mostly because of the cows), he was sure they wouldn't have a problem.
"Are you okay," he asked, sitting against one of the animal cages. "You seemed a little too worried there for a moment."
He turned away from her for a moment, thinking about what he just said. Of course she'd be worried. He did just introduce him to his world. Hell, practically pulled her into it and almost had some type of biological attack on her. He knew if he didn't take her into consideration and at least try to be a little open with her she'd be worried. Anyone would. People don't like walking around in the dark.
"Listen.... I.... Well.... You don't have to worry so much." He took a pause for a moment, looking back towards her, "What I mean to say is that I'm not going anywhere. Even if it looks bad. Even if it seems like I'm gone. None of that matters because I'll always be here, okay? You need to have more faith in me Akira. I'm stronger than I look." A small grin formed across his face. Though he was still feeling tired, he tried not to dose off. Least he leave the girl to her own boredom.
