Kuzuha says lightly as she matches Richard's pace with a small smile. She's putting in more than a little effort now, so they're moving at quite a clip!</div></blockquote><br/><br/>Richard gives an amused smirk having taken on a slight echoing tone to his voice now<br/>"Not quite showing off, it's a simple thing we do on the way back, Makes the trip quicker on us and all the more enjoyable. Having one who can keep pace with us so well only makes it better. Theres a reason we chose a heavily wooded area it's not just because of the privacy but with the canopy blocking out a good portion of the light it makes things simpler to get from place to place quicker."<br/><br/>They gave an echoing laugh at the statement. In moments a large building could be seen in the distance between the trees but the thick woodland often made it hard to keep track of and oddly enough if Kuzuha looked at it long enough as she moved it would seem to disappear! "So would you like to meet the others then or just go straight to the base of operations?" The pair smiled lightly over at Kuzuha though as they did so it looked as though they were about to smash right into a tree only to spin around it instead not missing a beat to their running pattern.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Heh well I suppose this explains how it would go in a  full on chase</span>He couldn't help but smile at the thought looking in front of him again<br/><br/>(Also Darien you should know by now it don't bug me, RL has its priorities. You keep too it better than a few and your posts flow well so it's worth the wait<img alt="^^;" src="./images/smilies/sweatdrop.gif" title="Sweat drop"/>Oh and just to clarify Richard and Drac are still a singular entity right now but I use words that refer to duos with them because its two sides on the surface at once. Didn't want you thinking they were split)
