Paka nodded and headed back to town. He didn't use his teleport crystal, preferring to save it for an emergency. He left the labyrinth without any trouble, but still had his katana held by his side just in case. He was deep in thought, but still managed to keep his attention around himself for monsters. 

Had this been his fault? Was he just holding the team back? Suki back? She hadn't even hesitated, he was sure, before running off to go save Fujiwara. She hadn't been afraid, but just concerned for their team mate. Paka sighed. He didn't run into any difficult heading back to town, arriving safely. He reached the inn, but Suki and Timi weren't there. He claimed a table, frowning and clearly in thought , looking up as. Umichi asked about food "soon, I think"

Suki had taken Timi outside, heading to the market place to buy some more supplies for health potions as well as a couple more crystals. She walked with Timi quite happily, talking with her and coaxing the girl to tell her something's about her, right up until Ti made a squeaking sound, and started to shake, pressing herself behind Suki, and Suki looked about.

They were near the inn, and even a minute early, hey would have reached the inn without delay, but it wasn't to be. Suki could see what had caused Timi to be so frighten, a young group of boys probably early teens was loitering about, and when they saw Timi they began to laugh, and tell things

"Hey! Runt, thought we had you run out of town!"

Things like that and Suki glared at them. She marched right up to them, despite the fact that she was outnumbered. "You arrogant, heartless evil little monsters!" She yelled at them, "what, you got nothing better to do then torment a little girl? You are worthless kids, who think you can just sit on your butts as other people try and help to get us all out of here! You think this is all fun and games? Harm Timi in anyway again, and I swear to go, you'd wish you were still sucking up to your parents! Now get out of here, go on, scat!" Without waiting to see if they did, Suki took Timi's hand, and led the way into the inn.
