The bad news still in his head, to say Blake that was not thinking on such a matter was quite an understatement in itself. There is never a moment that something was not on Blake's mind. Seeing as Nyoko was still cleaning herself up, he headed back to the village gate, surprised by at the sight he did not anticipate.<br/><br/>While Haruki did not mention that Nyoko took hours on end just to take a bath, it was merely a missed detail. Not that he minded. There was nothing significant in sweating the small details. Nor did he expect Haruki to be at the village gate, and so quickly as well. "Well you clean up nice." He said, chuckling as he got closer to the man, resting on the other side of the gate.<br/><br/>"I'm going to just say it... He is going after me first after all. Turns out we were both right. But it makes no difference to me, really." He said, making a smile on his face. "In fact, I see it as interesting challenge. He wants to fight you down, but he knows that I will be there to turn the tide. And he will be open to the many tricks up my sleeve..." While it was almost a big nothing to Blake, he gave a curious glare to Haruki, intertwining his fingers together, slapping his thumbs together. "But what about you? This doesn't faze you much, does it?"
