He suddenly felt very alone in the world, and his eyes flicked over his new clanmates, hoping that they would feel like family soon.<br/><br/>He bowed to the Otomo as he gave his new instruction. "It will be done, Otomo-sama," he said, after the others had acknowledged the command. At least there was some duty assigned to them, no matter how small. He noted a similar shift in Shiori's posture - no doubt she felt the same way.<br/><br/>He stepped forward to view the map alongside Shiori, trusting the scout to handle the logistics. "We should set out at once - I trust we are all prepared to travel immediately? Which of our destinations is nearest, Shiori-san? Should we be any more prepared for trouble than usual?"
