Akira lingered as Tamara carried on forward, he wished to avoid having to see to deadening forest for a while longer. Approaching Ellie, his expression somber, with a sigh he wrapped his tails around her in hopes to keep her reassured. It generally worked for him. "The Princess thinks you might be able to help if you discover your powers," he said in a matter of fact manner. "In that case, you're going to need to do it soon." Akira pitied the young girl, suddenly she was burdened with the responsibility to fight for a world she barely knew. He despised himself, all of a sudden, for ever showing her around.<br/>"I'm sorry," he mumbled in a barely audible range.<br/>Immediately he followed Tamara and retched over the stench of rotting. He placed a hand on Tamara's back and whispered soothing things to calm her. "I'll go gather as much soldiers as I can; you should get away from here, we can't have you losing heart now, Princess."
