Kosuke let out a breath of relief. The Ranger wasn't just going to leave him there. But, wait! If he went back to the town, he wouldn't be able to renew the seal when the time came... Although he wasn't sure if that were possible anymore... But he didn't want the Ranger to do what the boy was sure he was trying to do. He was going to go someplace completely desolate where the demon couldn't destroy anything. But... without any food and water, or anything like that, the Ranger might...<br/><br/>Kosuke put his thoughts on hold when he was scooped up. Surely he couldn't walk just yet. His strength was returning, but not quickly enough. Before the boy had time to react, the Ranger was out of the cave and running back to the village.<br/><br/>After getting his barrings, the boy opened his mouth to protest, but found he still couldn't speak. Frustrated he gave a tap to the Ranger's shoulder, trying to get his attention. He gestured fiercely to the ground, showing he wanted to be set down. He wanted to say something to the Ranger, but the only thing he had to write in was the sand-like dirt on the ground.
