[center][color=red][h3]Kasumi, "The Shadow"[/h3][/color] Kasumi managed to hide her flinch at the unfamiliar voice as it answered her question. Turning to see the woman who had spoken, she gave her one quick appraising glance before turning back to a member of her party as she remarked upon the homeland of two of the men, proclaiming that it might help them upon their journey through the country in question. Then one of the men spoke up and Kasumi couldn't hold back a snort as he complained about the heat and, turning to her (along with the woman called Shu), asked if they could get through the heat. [color=red]"I've traveled for many years. I'm used to the heat and the cold. My clothes may not look proper, but they are designed for traveling and so are very thin and durable."[/color] Honestly. What was she thinking, trying to journey with a bunch of strangers who had no idea of her skills, or what she had done to survive. They didn't trust each other, that was clear, and their mission was vague at best. Kasumi sighed softly, and plucked up her courage. [color=red]"It is clear that we do not trust each other. We also do not know much about one another. Perhaps in an attempt to rectify both of these problems at once, we introduce ourselves once more along with a quick summary of our skills? That way, we will not waste future time bickering over who can handle what task, and we also start to trust one another."[/color] Something she didn't mention, however, was the fact that it would be useful to know everyone's skills if they turned against her at any point during the mission. She knew it could happen, and it was always best to prepare for the worst. [i][color=red]"Perhaps we Pokemon should do the same?"[/color][/i] Taika spoke up, the large Arcanine speaking for her two other Pokemon as they nodded along with him.
