Those two are probably gonna become a couple, and this is kinda like a date. Tonight's ball is aimed at lovers too. For that reason, I wanted to give them some space, and I actually had some stuff to do here anyways, especially if we want to use my abilities.">「で、分からん事説明すっす。あの二人って多分恋人になるから、今ってデートみたいや。今夜の宴も恋人向き。それに対す、離れ方がええや、な？と、ホンマこっちに用事あり、俺の能力と使い積りあるなら。」</acronym>Seth said as he continued to pull Nenene along through the parking lot, though now that he was out of sight of Vonna and Cassandra, he had slowed down to a pace the older woman could keep up with easily. It wasn't until they made it to the nearby intersection and were forced to wait for the light to change that Seth became aware that he was still gripping the Elder's wrist, letting the slender appendage slip from his grasp as naturally as he could afford.<br/><br/><acronym title="Even though they're both girls?">「女同士でも？」</acronym>Nenene replied as she rubbed her wrist, the slight imprints of Seth fingers already returning to their natural color.<br/><br/>Seth sighed slightly in response and shook his head.<acronym title="You're an innocent one, aren't you... Around here, same sex couples are pretty normal. But let's move on to the real topic. If an incident is gonna happen, I want you to listen and tell some things to Head Elder Takanashi.">「単純のヤツや。ここら同性愛って中々普通や。ってか、本番に進め。異変行うから、高梨老長に伝いたい事聞くか。」</acronym>The younger boy continued, pausing briefly so the pair could cross the street unhindered by conversation.<br/><br/>As Seth walked through the store, he barely stopped talking long enough for Nenene to get any input in, but every recommendation he made was backed with confidence and no less than five backup plans to go along with it. At the very end, Nenene was finally able to speak something that was on her mind to the young boy.<br/><br/><acronym title="If you're such a great strategist, why did you have such a rude attitude with Akira-tan? You need to choose your words better.">「こんなに華麗な策略家ですが、何故明たんの前にその無礼態度を？もっとちゃんと言の葉を選ばないと」</acronym><br/><br/><acronym title="And who exactly would listen to the new guy? Sure, I was eavesdropping, but to us Athena kids, tactics are our bread and butter. We're here for a reason, so use us.">「一体誰が一番新しいヤツに聞くか？立ち聞きやったって確かが、俺達アテーナ―子って、作戦は業務や。理由で居るから利用して。」</acronym>Now Seth was starting to get frustrated again, and it showed in both his face and his voice. Even if it wasn't her intention, Nenene was still treating him like a child. There was a brief moment where the young Athena boy considered lashing out at the older woman, but she was an Elder. Arguing was one thing, but fighting, and off the Village grounds no less? Besides, he didn't even know her patron, let alone her powers. And without any knowledge of her skills, what use was his Foresight if he started the battle... "Look, if you guys think I'm that bad of a person, send me off on a mission and you can leave the blood on the monsters' hands. Besides, you Elders have all gone through these same trials at some point. We're not supposed to be sheltered. We're supposed to be guided, and protected when shit goes south, not coddled and treated like idiots! If you people are so damn full of yourselves, go solve the damn thing by yourselves!"<br/><br/>It wasn't until Seth had finished his monologue that he realized he had started yelling and was panting slightly. He quickly turned to apologize to anyone in the area, then darted down an aisle of the store and started browsing through the available materials, taking note of anything he would reasonably need in the near future, especially if people were coming to him for weapons and armor.
