This situation was beginning to get way out of hand. He knew this new girl had a mouth on her but he hadn't expected her to be just like Tess or hell, maybe even worse. He had too hot heads on his hands. How was he going to deal with them and keep them both out of harms way? Here he had brought Tess along to keep her safe and she still had to go and spark something and get the attention of the guards. If that wasn't bad enough, Karien had to go and mouth off to the guard as well. He held his breath and stiffened up as he watched the situation unfold before his eyes. And this just went to show you that just because he could see the future, didn't mean he could see every single change in the events. The future constantly changed.

When the two guards went on their way, Ayumu gave a sigh of relief. He had been sure that the guard was going to shoot at one point. His eyes monitored the two as they walked away. He wanted to make sure he had a good visual of the guards in case he had to deal with them again or see them in the future. He liked to keep tabs on everyone just in case. You never knew what part each person would play in the end. A seemingly insignificant detail could lead to later success or downfall.

"All right, you two. Let's get going. I don't want anything else happening. Things are a bit rocky," he explained and motioned for both girls to follow him through the streets back home. It was a bit of a walk, but things had calmed down from the initial fireworks that went down. He ushered them into the safety of his home then and closed the door. His parents were both still at work so they had the place to themselves.

"Did you ladies want a drink or anything? Karien, please make yourself at home. You had a very long trip and things are very different here than what you are used to," he commented. "You will be safe here. And I would like to remind both of you that you shouldn't egg on the guards. Things are... things are getting worse and I fear for both of you. That guard could have shot you today were it not for his friend."
