"Well I imagine you want to spend as little time in the woods as possible yes? I'm afraid our only option to get there quickly is to go to that other town we were looking at before," Mera motioned north, "If there are no other objections to it that is," She said, but started walking regardless. The only other option if there were a particular reason to dodge the town would be to go about a day or so more in the woods and not even she was really sure where the next town would be after that and how soon they'd be in the realm more dominated by the samurai that they'd seen less and less of lately. She could only imagine they'd withdrawn to their main establishments to guard against the "monsters" that were coming to dismantle them. She smirked a little at that, shaking her head.
"What?"
Mera looked at Hotaru, not expecting her to be so observant, but then again they had just been on the run, "I was simply thinking about those foolish samurai."
"The one's you have the wanted poster from?" Hotaru raised a brow. Her original goal had been to avenge her parents death by hunting those same samurai down, but knowing everything her mother had been hiding from her and what she had planned to put her through made it a little hard to want to keep doing that... Maybe at least for her father. From what she could tell, he'd never been a part of the scheming.
"Indeed, the very same."
"What brings them to mind?"
"We're getting further north every day. We'll be in the territory they claim as theirs any day now."
"I suppose you're right... You know, speaking of, I can't help but wonder why they're fixated on you specifically."
"I wasn't aware they were. They were fixated on the gypsy's as a whole."
"Not really," Mera quirked a brow that insisted she explain, "Your face is on the posters for the gypsies. It's usually your description we heard when we passed the samurai," Hotaru pointed out, "Someone is fixated on you."
"Imagine that," Mera sighed, rubbing her forehead.
"You get the strangest admirers."
