Tatsuya was a bit quieter than he usually was, seemingly out of it as he thought back to him talking to his mother about him leaving. He knew it had been a risk, but he couldn't have her think he was leaving her like his father did. Luckily, she had promised not to tell anyone about what had happened, but after a long argument with harsh words said by both sides that were better left unsaid, it was clear that he was no longer welcome. He could see the hurt and betrayal in her eyes, and no matter what he had tried to say, she only seemed to get sadder and sadder, until they had left each other on rather bad terms.

He himself had brought with him all of the maintence tools they'd need to keep their equipment in good condition, as well as holding lots of extra shuriken, kunai, and other tools that they might need on their journey, enough to last them about a month, maybe more if used smartly. He had most of them stored in seals he'd made himself, but he also had a good amount on his person in packs, as well as his own equipment as well. Looking around, he felt himself having some second thoughts about this, but he quickly shook his head. He had made his bed with this plan, and now he would lie in it, and hope for the best. This plan was going to work. It [i]had[/i] to.

"I think we're all as ready as we're going to be, Kai. We know the plan inside and out, and have all made our peace with our actions and what they may entail. If you guy's are ready to go, then so am I."
