Paka watched Angelo continue to fight, ready to jump in at a moments notice, and held his katana loosely at his side. He looked to Umichi's reply, and sent back with a soft sigh [i]I detected nepents, and seeing as I can see them now, one with a fruit on its head, I thought it wise to team up, and take the fruit down, and its spawn quickly[/i]. It seemed like the smartest thing to do, and Paka could take the nepent and its spawn down. He turned to Angelo, "The one with the fruit on its head will spawn at least 50 more nepents, so be wary. I'll help out here because of that, which is why I teamed up with you, you'll get half the experience as well, so just stay behind me, and deal with any that get passed. You aren't ready to take them on by yourself" He said, turning to the Nepent with the fruit, and launched himself at it, activating his [b]<>[/b] ability. It didn't take him long to kill the nepent, and release its spawn, and then he began to attack, drawing the Little Nepent's towards him, and changing between [b]<>[/b], [b]<>[/b] and [b]Gengetsu[/b]. He cut through the numbers quickly, receiving some damage, but nothing serious. ---- Suki thought it was dangerous to go off into the Labyrinth alone, but she knew Umichi could handle himself-it wouldn't stop her constantly looking at his status, but it was reassuring. Then he asked for a date, and before she could ansswer, he had gone, but she still called out, "See you tonight", before looking down to Timi, who gave a sigh, but smiled. Timi was sure that Umichi was going to try and find the mean-guy that had just told her which direction to go, and nothing else. "Come on" Suki said, grabbing Timi' hand, she started out to the merchant's. She stopped when Ayame said about a library, and frowned, "I'm not too sure if there is one. But merchant's sell books here" She said, "'I'm taking Timi to get some armor, I'll be back soon. Hopefully Fujiwara doesn't mope for too long" She said goodbye to Ayame, heading otu with Timi. She walked with Timi happily for a while, stopping at some stores, and searching for some armor, as Timi studied the new blade Umichi had sent her. Suki smiled, and found some armor for Timi, something light weight, but still durable and suitable for her, then she spent some time simply walking with the girl, before heading back to the inn.
