Haku was eager to get back into the city, and maybe this time he could actually have a look around it. As of late he was following the Princes around like a dog but at least that meant he could be out and about; they were in a new city, and maybe while the others were off playing diplomat he could wander around a little. There was enough in that place for everyone to be excited about, Shu in particular he figured. Trying to be friendly and strike up a little conversation he frowned when the other boy hardly seemed happy about it, sighing before shrugging his shoulders. "I know you like fruit, everyone knows that, and there's tons of it back in the city," he explained, glancing back over at Shu. He was near about to make a biting comment about never having a conversation but opted to clam up, not wanting to ruin things for himself. Figuring the other boy was just going to go wherever Takeshi was anyways his sharing anything was probably a moot point. Couldn't say he didn't try being friendly though.

"Oh... Uh... Please don't take our insistence the wrong way, Prince! We're just very busy men, and we're all on duty," one of the other guards chipped in quickly.

"Yes, we do apologize, but we're all supposed to be on patrol. We just happened to be the closest group to come and fetch you, you see."

The head guard smiled and nodded in agreement with his companions, looking back up at T'charrl when they were through. "Flying won't be a problem, we were going to ask about that in fact. Er..." he began, pausing as he looked at the ship, then Shu and Takeshi before finally back at the Prince. "How do we explain all of this...? That machine of yours... We have no idea what it is, and your friends... What are they?" Hopefully that wasn't coming across as rude, but none of them had any idea what they were dealing with really. Even the Prince seemed different, this certainly was going to be an unusual visit. None of them seemed to be a threat however, at worst they were a little difficult perhaps if Haku was any indication. Spreading his wings the guard motioned for the others to get in the air, gesturing for the Prince to follow them. "If you and the others are ready we could be going now. I can see if someone can come along to look after this... Ship, if you'd like."

Well this was nice, a bunch of guards that didn't want to kill them! As far as first impressions went these guys were doing a better job of it than T'charrl's people had; to be fair T'charrl hardly had control over those jerks who they'd first met. By what little he could overhear it sounded like things were being hurried along, but at least they weren't being rude about it. "If there's fruit in the city I'm sure you've got no problem going there now," the older boy joked, smirking at Shu as he nudged his shoulder, "Come on buddy, let's get going. We don't want to keep the King waiting, you know?"
