As Skippy made his move on Black, Ijemaru was desperately trying to keep from laughing aloud, and the demon was very close to accepting the squirrel boy's request to use magic on him. The demon had been so distracted by current events, that he failed to notice the sounds of the horsemen before Nymeri warned them of the impending danger. Skippy immediately took to the tree tops while the demon and his master dove into some foliage.<br/><br/>The group began attacking the shadowy horsemen and Black turned to ask the human if they should participate. However, he saw that the boy was paying unusually close attention to the fight, and decided to hold his tongue for the moment.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Let's see,</span>Ijemaru thought, collecting information on their opponents though the others actions,<span style="font-style: italic">Physical attacks work on the horses, but not their riders.</span>After the fight went on for a short moment more, the human saw Lysonna saying something. "What did she say?" the human asked his familiar.<br/><br/>"She said that magic and spells<span style="font-style: italic">might</span>work on the horsemen," Black explained.<br/><br/>"I see..." the human responded.<br/><br/>"Should we do anything?" the demon asked.<br/><br/>"For now.. let's just watch what happens. Not<span style="font-style: italic">everyone</span>here knows about you yet. I'd like to keep it that way for a little bit longer, if possible."<br/><br/>Black's face remained passive and he turned again to watch the fray.<span style="font-style: italic">It really isn't my problem,</span>he told himself.<span style="font-style: italic">Besides, I don't know if my spells would work very well on these guys anyway. Something tells me these guys don't conduct electricity very well.</span>
