Tatsumi smiled at the talk of a job. He was eager for adventure, and was ready to prove himself to the others after the rather embarrassing incident at the well. He didn't really catch the details of their job, besides the fact that it was at a place called 'Paraanon Ravine'... not that that meant much to him, since he wasn't exactly familiar with the geography of this place. Tatsumi smiled at Jenniver when he saw her. She was the first of the group whom he had met, so it was nice to see that she was still safe. His smile faded as Sinthe took her comment a little too harsh. [b][i][color=Gold]He seems a little... touchy.[/color][/i][/b] Tatsumi noted to himself.

Next to speak was Akemi, who appeared to have resuscitated from her 'excursion' with Sinthe, with a new 'companion' already running from her clutches. [b][i][color=Gold]I'm going to avoid her... she's a little scary.[/color][/i][/b] In his opinion the fox girl appeared to be a nympho. He sighed. No matter how he felt her help would be needed, so he would have to try to get along with her. 

And then Macey and Monkey Boy/Mu introduced themselves. And Jin, an [i]actual[/i] a monkey. [b][i][color=Gold]A monkey is a very interesting choice of travelling companion, but they seem alright.[/color][/i][/b] Tatsumi blushed slightly as Macey referred to him and Mari as 'father and daughter', but he smiled at the trio. [b][color=Gold]"A pleasure to meet all of you... you're right, Macey, this place is bleak, so it is up to us to make the best of it. And a job sounds like a good start... better than hanging around this gloomy town forever."[/color][/b] Tatsumi furrowed his brow as Mari explained the mayor's actions. [i][b][color=gold]That doesn't make much sense to me, but it's probably best to leave it be for now. I don't really know the ways of this place, and a lot is still a mystery...[/color][/b][/i]

Mari seemed to evade his question about the danger she was in. It was clear enough that the question made her uncomfortable so he let it be, but that didn't mean he wasn't concerned. She seemed scared of whatever this 'danger' was. She began to break off from the group. [b][color=Gold]"I'll see you later then. You take care of yourself too, and check in with me sometime after we get back..."[/color][/b] His sentence drifted off. He didn't really know the girl but he was still concerned for her. She [i]was[/i] in some sort of trouble, that was clear, and it felt wrong for him to leave her. He shook his head, turning back to the assembled group of Hunters. [b][color=Gold]"Well, we should be off then. We've got a job to do."[/color][/b] He turned towards the town gates, heading off for Paraanon Ravine without checking to see if the others were following him.

This might not have been so bad if he knew where Paraanon Ravine. [i]Hopefully[/i] they would follow.
