Seeing the knight without the cover of his cloak, Node thought he looked quite scary. Still, she extended her hand and took the offered cloak from the knight. Quickly covering herself with it she made a small bow.

[color=2F4F4F][b]“Thank you,”[/b][/color] Node said in her usual voice. Upon hearing his introduction, which only added to the scary impression, she replied. [b][color=2F4F4F]“I am a Node.”[/color][/b]

As they continued to walk – changing their direction according to the instructions received from the clown – Node observed the surrounding lands. [color=2F4F4F][i]Indeed, this does look like Japan. That suspicious character said it is another Japan than the one I know, but I wonder what the difference is? Maybe there’s no war in this one…[/i][/color]

Her eyes once again found their way to the knight and his frightening appearance. 

[color=2F4F4F][b]“Mr. Tyrant, if this really is Japan, your mask and armour will attract a lot of attention. We may even find ourselves under pursuit of law enforcement once we reach an inhabited area.”[/b][/color]
