(So I did the same thing Doce did... Mostly because it would feel weird if I didnt respond after her. !shy)<br/>The tree felt nice against SOF's back, a very real feeling that tether him here. He mused inwardly<span style="font-style: italic">It still does't feel real, but then again If i had stayed in the real world... I dont think it would feel real either.</span>His thoughts were drifted to before all of this. He missed his family and his friends to an extent, but he found purpose here. Where he was, what he was doing, all of it was meaningless before, just something he did because it was expected of him. But now.... Now he had people to protect and a world to save. Not that it was all good. He still felt that same trapped sense he had before. None of what he did felt like his own decision. Except for what he said to Eggy. He had kind of admired her ever since she talked at length about time travel. He looked over at her as she began to speak unable to keep a smile off his face.<br/><br/>He hopped up from off the tree and walked over to Eggy. "That was a rather compelling argument. I change my vote and decide to go with Touka." He then held out his hand to Eggy "Though if you..." he pauses looking at Rain as well "Both of you ever need a shoulder to lean on, I could be that shoulder." He smiled at them cutely. He was thinking about just carrying them, they did seem rather tired. "Also I could carry both of you on my shoulders if you ever need a break from walking." He randomly added after his serious question because he felt like breaking the tension slightly. Though the question was inherently a serious one, he was fine sacrificing himself somewhat for the good of others. He had to admit, that in all reality he was being a bit selfish but he let it slide this one time.<br/><br/>Sinon watched silently from the tree. A bit before Eggy had spoke SOF gave her a mission. She closed her eyes to go over the details again.<br/><br/>"If Eggy and Rain decide on going with Touka, I'm going to go with them, but..."<br/><br/>"Spit it out." Sinon hissed<br/><br/>"But, I want you to go meet Junichiro in my stead."<br/><br/>She scowled at him "Alone..."<br/><br/>He nodded nervously.<br/><br/>"But... What... What am I supposed to do if I get attacked?"<br/><br/>"You are..."<br/><br/>She cut him off "I'm a Sniper and it might be an ambush." In reality she was more scared of being separated than being attacked but she couldn't just say that.<br/><br/>"Come closer." SOF said gently<br/><br/>"No..." nervousness dominated her voice.<br/><br/>"Trust me..."<br/><br/>She nodded and took a shaky step around the tree, Shivering and almost jumping away when he touched her hand.<br/><br/>"It took me a while to notice but..." he peels away her glove as she blushed looking away "Look at this." On Her hand and wrist was a red tattoo of a snake coiling around her in three segments.<br/><br/>"Whats that?"<br/><br/>"Its..." He paused to reword himself as it was best to show full confidence. "It is a command seal, each segment is an ability to cast a very powerful spell, if you ever need me use one and i'll be there."<br/><br/>"But how..."<br/><br/>"Just think really hard, i'll be there I promise."<br/><br/>With a nod Sinon pulled away from him and he hopped up.<br/><br/>Sinon sighed "This isnt going to be fun." She said as she broke from the group to continue to Junichiro alone.
