Meanwhile... Kamina seemed rather confused at me, which I dismissed as 'being himself.' [i]I hate following solo members of our team.[/i] No, that wasn't directed towards Kamina; that was towards Spruce. Why couldn't Arnold send some lowly scrub to do this mission, whatever it was? Spying? Speaking of spying...

We made it into Scale City, after getting on a worn path to the main entrance (which was just a busted gate with moss all over it) and entering what could be considered the boundary of the city. "Eh. You can go follow Spruce by yourself. I got my own business to attend to." I said to Kamina, who probably was still following me. Heck, I was still facing the buildings across the cobblestone paths, ignoring the fancy and symmetrical walls and the obvious edge of technology here. A week ago or so, I'd be wishing to come here with Davis. Now, I had something else to do...

...and, finally speaking of spying: "God damn it, did Davis hire some lowly scrubs of his own?" Don't say I was deaf. "Go on. I don't think I'm quite myself today, you know... help Spruce and Celes out, would you?" I told Kamina as I turned to him, getting sarcastic and if not strange. I rolled my eye horizontally across the landscape of dry trees (with quite a few leaves) and arid grass, trying to find the source of an apparent voice and sound from earlier. Could've been the wind, but why would I be hallucinating?
