Takuma appraised their captor.  Judging by the way she carried herself and the gear she had, she was probably capable in her own right.  She had no reason to be friendly or kind to them and she looked like she had no qualms about hurting them if necessary.  Which meant that any surprise attacks would probably fail, resulting in punitive action, as well as attempts at deception.  As soldiers came to shackle him, Takuma held out his hands in front of him, offering them to the soldiers.  For one, it meant that it looked like he was slightly co-operative.  It also meant that he kept his hands in front of him, giving him a better range of motion.  He was planning on attacking anyone, but in case he ever needed to, it was at least one minor advantage.<br/><br/>Listening to the leader's question about the groups leadership, Takuma looked at the rest of the group.  Laina didn't seem to be much of a choice.  Hisoka seemed to be much of the same, except now suffering from gender identity issues.  Rika could do it, but he didn't like the idea of Rika going off alone.  The student teacher was another possibility, but even if he was the kind of teacher to put the welfare of his students forward, it still wasn't what Takuma wanted.  All he cared about was making sure Rika was safe.<br/>"No one in this group tells me what to do.  I'd like to plead our case to the Queen, if you please."
