Wanda
Devyn stopped on her horse, dismounting beside a small creek. They had been travelling for a few hours now, and she deemed it time to give the horses a break.
Keith
Gurroshira half-dismounted, half-fell from her horse in her usual manner. She patted the horse and let it drink. She had been her usual, silent self for most of the trip. "...So, what d'we know about this mark?"
Wanda
"Just the basic facts, he's good at running... I suspect he's a spell-user." She glanced over at Gurroshira and sat down on the damp ground.
Keith
She grunts a little at that. She used as *Few* Spells as possible, after all. She prefered things... Basic, and hitting things was the most basic tactic of all. "Then we'll just have to keep hittin' him 'till he stops."
Wanda
"I don't think it'll be that simple, but yes." She chuckled at her companion's logic, the oni woman had always been amusing to her. Mainly because she was a bit dull in the head sometimes, but she knew that she had some intellect. That's what made moments like these entertaining.
Keith
She snorted softly at that. "Why're you laughin'?" She asked her simply. She didn't understand how the woman could find such amusement in her plans. It was a good plan! No one could ever withstand being hit lots, after all.
Wanda
"Oh no reason, no reason at all!" She waved her hands dismissively and coughed a few times, to mask her growing laughter. Eventually she calmed herself though, and let out a peaceful sigh.
Keith
The Oni-woman grumbled to herself a little, sitting down with a sound like a collapsing cart full of knives. She looked around, always weary, but pulled her helmet off, letting her horns out as she does.
Wanda
"Gurro... Do you ever regret coming with me?" Devyn asked suddenly, but didn't face the other woman. Her tone didn't sound sad or guilty, if anything she sounded curious.
Keith
She blinks a little at that, staring at her for a few moments. "...I ain't ever run from a battle... But y' made me see sense. There was no winnin' that fight. So... No, I don't regret it."
Wanda
"I see... Well, we should get moving again!" She coughed and stood so she could mount her horse.
Keith
She nods a little at that, grunting a little as she slowly stands up and mounts her horse. "...Why did you ask that?"
Wanda
"I was just wondering." Devyn said with a shrug, and she gently whipped the reins to spur her horses movement.
Keith
She followed behind her at the same pace, grunting a little at that. "...Why did you take me with you?"
Wanda
For a moment she was silent, but she gave Gurroshira an answer a few seconds later. "Because I care about you, I didn't want you to die there."
Keith
"...I see." She didn't know how to respond, the womans words... Surprising her. She wasn't used to non-Oni giving a damn about her. She shuffles a little in her saddle as she rides. "...Thank you."
Wanda
Devyn just huffed in response. Then they were traveling along the trail in a comfortable silence. The base of the mountain was drawing closer and could be seen through the trees.
