When Suki told him, she was corrupted by him, all he could do was smile at it. 

Taking a step outside, Umichi listened to Paka, nodding with his left hand over his mouth. Deeply thinking about the situation. 

"I agree with most of what you are saying, but there's big risks involved with taking him up. One thing is I am suspicious of the fact he was able to get the items by using col. Just a little over two hours ago he turned orange. You can't turn green in less than two hours, on the first incident. This has to be at least his second incident, judging from the fact he had been leveling the skill, it takes longer to be green again, see where I am getting with that? It's even in the book. 

Another thing is, resources out in the field are becoming limited, you've seen it yourself. The only reasonable place left to train is probably the labyrinth, and we don't know what can happen in there, bringing too many people with little experience isn't going to end well. 

By the way, I just saved a kid and brought her along, we can talk about her later, but, Suki and Yui have taken a liking to her. As things stand, it is likely she will come with us. I'm worried about bringing someone who stole from us once with a kid around.

 Anyway, I'll think about it some more alright? I'm not going to decide right now. Oh, don't take me the wrong way, I am not disagreeing with you. It is just that, I thought of some factors which you might not have been fully aware of, like the kid and the indicator change. I do want us helping others, and do realize he could of done worse to take items, but there's the integrity of the group to think about as well.

In the end, I want to judge his character for myself before making a complete decision, which I will explain my decision in full with everyone else. So that if we do accept him, hopefully Fujiwara will understand, and if we don't, he will understand the reasons. Anyway, bring Ayame out, I want her opinion as well, unless of course you have something else to add." Umichi paused for a moment, giving Paka a chance to speak out.

If Paka had nothing else to say, Umichi would continue with, "For now, keep Fujiwara from killing the poor guy okay? I don't want things to turn messy." On the other hand, he would first listen to Paka more if he continued. Paka was definitely looking at this reasonably, and definitely was thinking about doing the right thing. But there was a lack of thought for the integrity for the group. [i]I am worried about having association with even an ex-orange player. Others might judge us too quickly and then we won't be able to go on the front lines or others might avoid us. There's a lot of risk involved here. There was also the party limit. Soon we will reach the max party limit of eight. If we try to split into two parties and so on, it might lead to problems such as leadership, organization and so forth.[/i] 

His thoughts continued to think about the entire situation. [i]The guy needs help, that much is clear. Stealing from us was wrong though. He may have learned the consequences now, but still, if he hasn't, more trouble with ensue. If he just came up to us normally, I would of considered it more, but for someone to normally ask to join a stranger's group was in itself suspicious. There's just too many factors. Well, it seems Fujiwara doesn't want him, and Paka thinks we should let him, for a while, at least. I need to ask him things myself, and get Ayame's opinion.[/i]
