Leon slipped his vest back on and scratched his neck with his hind leg. "I don't think these guys are looking to make peace, Hikaru." Leon said, picking up one of his slate-gray swords. "Who sent you?" the chocolate-colored rabbit asked in a tense tone.

"Leon, stop! They might be friendly!" Hikaru tried to make his friend back down, but the rabbit conjured up another earthy sword and turned it on him.

"Shut up! No way all of these guys would show up at once unless they were sent by [i]them[/i]!" Leon glared at every one of the other animals, his green eyes like shrapnel.
