Takeshi wasn't much a fan of Pagonia himself, it was far too cold. Sure, warm clothes helped a bit, but sooner or later even those gave way to the chill. Thankfully where they were heading there was indoors, and that meant shielding from the wind. Maybe no fires, but the lack of wind meant their clothing would insulate them better. Leaping out of the hangar after Viral he turned back to the open door, holding his arms out for Shu to join them. Catching his brother carefully he set Shu down on his feet, giving the younger boy a quick check over on his gear. No sense in getting halfway there and finding out some of his clothes weren't fastened properly. Everything looked to be in order, and he was sure his were, as well as Viral's. The Beastman scarcely had anything on compared to them, it wasn't fair at all. Now that they were out they could get going south... Whichever way that was. Did Viral know? Ah, good, he did. Though it wouldn't kill him to say it in a bit of a nicer way. "I paid attention!" Takeshi said defensively, frowning as he folded his arms over his chest, "I just... Forgot is all. I was thinking about other stuff okay?" Like the cold, and if this was going to be any better than Shaharia was. He really hoped so, if they had two unsuccessful trips then he'd be damn hard pressed to care enough for a third.

"Yeah, I remember the guy. He was huge, but he wasn't all too hard to fight. Shu and I beat him after all." Granted, that was just a single Narbu, and it took both of them to bring him down. Even numbers might be a bit trickier, and a big group could prove problematic. They'd find out soon enough how they were going to fare, and that was if they ended up having to fight someone. Takeshi was just about to ask how they planned on traveling before Viral took off, running across the snowdrifts swiftly. Reaching out after their friend, mouth open in protest he let out a sigh, glancing back at Shu. "Well, come on then, looks like we're running." With how light and swift his brother was the little guy ought not have any issue running around here. Takeshi wasn't quite so enthusiastic about himself, he'd already fallen in once thus far. "No reason to get so defensive Viral! I just said I wanted you to lead!" he shouted forward, smiling. Viral was already getting touchy, and they had barely begun their mission. It was going to be an interesting outing if he was this irritable today, maybe it was the cold making him so sour.
