Donta stood, wide eyed, staring at the sky. He saw the serpent dragon spirit call off the lightning birds, then it spoke to his own spirit. Phantom didn't really reply before the dragon returned to it's host, Faustina, the symbol on the back of her hand glowing brightly.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"If we are quick and quiet, we can retrieve your bow," the gria said. "I do not think those strange birds are anywhere nearby. I would also like to retrieve some of my senbon. If we move swiftly, we will still be able to put a good amount of distance between ourselves and the intelligence squad."</span><br/><br/>Donta snapped out of his thoughts and nodded. The sun was rising and they had stopped for far too long for their lead to be of any use to them, "Yes, quickly gather your things." he said, then took a step towards Faustina's bow, when his leg gave out and he stumbled. It was like his leg had fallen asleep and was now full of pins and needles, his own nerves sparking back to life after being numbed by electricity. Catching his balance, he sighed and kept going, picking up her bow once he reached it, limping all the while.<br/><br/>"There's a small town just to the east of here. We should head there and find a place to rest and hide, kupo." he said. This speech oddity was common among Moogles who often say kupo in every sentence they say, however, Donta only found himself saying it when he was really worried or upset. He handed Faustina's bow back to her as feeling started to return to his leg, "We should get going before they catch up."
