He placed his hand on top of Alice's head and ruffled her hair, with an uncharacteristic soothing voice and serious look in his eyes,<strong>"Sorry for worrying you, Alice. I just got a little lost, but I found my way back, and now I'm here to fight, for all of you."</strong>He got the same question and reaction from Ralena. He removed his hand from Alice's head and turned to face Ralena,<strong>"Won't happen again. I rediscovered myself and am stronger than ever. From this point on,"</strong>a fierce look appeared in his eyes,<strong>"Those Shadow Crow bastards will be on the defensive."</strong><br/><br/>He looked over towards Luca and nodded,<strong>"He's right. Maybe if we have some time later, I'll tell you guys where I went."</strong>Before they started walking, he suggested a battle plan, which, again, was uncharacteristic of him, seeing as thought and strategy was never part of his game,<strong>"Before we head off again into the forest, I figure we need to get into a more concrete formation."</strong>Lyuk turned towards Ralena,<strong>"The "two in the front and two in the back" formation might be the one you were thinking of."</strong>He crouched down and started making diagrams on the dirt,<strong>"But that makes us open heavily to flanking attacks which can be deadly in a dense forest like this."</strong>The young man looked up at everyone,<strong>"The enemy is sure to use guerilla tactics if they choose to ambush us again, so we've got to make sure we cover our flanks."</strong>He had erased the diagram that was on the ground. Lyuk began making another diagram,<strong>"So I suggest a different formation for the time being. I say, one in the front, two on each side, and one in the back."</strong>The young man used his thumb to indicate himself,<strong>"I'll go in the front, Ralena and Luca will cover the sides, and Alice will be at the rear."</strong>He drew a line to simulate an enemy attack,<strong>"This way, we have a 360 degree of vision. Should the enemy go for Alice instead through unorthodox measures, my speed is more than enough, especially now, to cover the short distance."</strong>Lyuk stood up and clapped his hands to get the dirt off from them. He continued,<strong>"Ralena, Luca, with your abilities, both of you can sufficiently protect the flanks. Alice will protect my back and I will be keeping my senses sharp as the helm and warn for impending attack."</strong>He stood with his arms crossed,<strong>"I'm more than confident that this is the safest and best way to approach this forest."</strong>And if they didn't believe his words, his facial expression made up for it as it was full of confidence. For once, Lyuk seemed reliable and not completely full of shit.
