"We're probably all that made it. And your friend almost didn't." he would say to the gun woman, once their small reunion had finished.<br/><br/>Despite himself, Shine actually found himself relaxing a bit with the two trained soldiers joining them.  But, he reminded himself, he still has no clue how bad the situation is. Was what was happening localized, or did it affect the entire country? Did it affect multiple countries? He didn't know, and that was hard for him to deal with.<br/><br/>"I'll come along. And I have an idea about where we could go to roost, that'll be safer than an apartment. My guardian is the caretaker of a Buddhist temple up north, near the edges of town. It's pretty secluded, and their are walls surrounding it, as it's one of the older temples. Quite a bit of space on the inside, forest around it. But with all of us going there, we'll need to be bringing plenty of supplies with us."<br/><br/>"I figure maybe we can grow crops up there as a way to offset our food consumption, but we'll still need a lot of food to get through until the seeds start producing... but at least there's fresh well water, and I doubt it'll go dry any time soon."<br/><br/>He would explain this to Rika and Jacob, just as he had explained to the others, as they walked towards the tank. He would frown slightly, when he saw the uniformed man that had been killed.<br/><br/>"I'm sorry for your loss." Again, said to the two soldiers. Despite his ice cold, chilled voice, their is a noticeable amount of sincerity to it.
