[i]'I did say sorry,'[/i] Aiko mocked rudely in her mind, giving Tamina a high-pitched, whiny voice.  She sneered and crossed her arms as the girl gave a long-winded explanation of why she ran into them and just jabbered on about a cat.  The assassin crossed her arms, not looking at any of her companions as PKers were brought up.  Talk, talk, talk, couldn't they just move on?  "Maybe if you're so worried about hunters," She said with reference to PKers, "then you should try not to go barreling out of Akihabara and into a danger zone for some cat."  Aiko stuck her nose up and looked away with a small 'hmph' for good measure.  It was no more than a few moments later when Largoes and Kosuke actually decided to say something.  She opened one eye, processing what they were saying.  When it finally clicked, she turned on them and threw her arms down, hands balled into fists in a near temper-tantrum manner, staring daggers at them, her stance widened.

"Wh-what?! [i]Her?[/i]" She cried in agitation, looking to Largoes with a pouting face, "B-but... But... I...  We can't...  I mean, we don't...  There's no..."  She stumbled repeatedly over her words as she desperately tried to latch onto some argument for the invitation extended to the cleric.  "I... Uh... Ah...  Fine!"  Aggressively, she pointed at Tamina, "But you'd better not get us killed with that loud mouth.  I haven't died since coming here and I don't plan to any time soon..."  In all honesty, she didn't trust the revival process now that she could actually witness anythig nthat happened - but she also didn't want to lock herself up in Akihabara forever.  She loved exploring, so they'd just have to be more careful from now on.

In a flash of dark purple, she disappeared and reappeared on the lowest limb of a tree nearby.  "I'll be right back," She said, beginning to scale the tree, using her impressive agility to float from branch to branch on her way up.  The only one of their party who could - except perhaps Tamina now.  Upon reaching the top, she popped her head out of the leaves, holding on tightly while scanning the land before them.  Her eyes danced along the forests, the mountains in the distance... the cities...  The trees were so tall, but even still the view was undeniably beautiful.  This was why she and Largoes had stayed in Yamato - the landscaping was unparalleled elsewhere.  Some locations had great settings, but the moon-shaped islands of this region were the most consistently gorgeous of them all.  After what seemed like several minutes, she scrambled down the tree, putting even more effort into her grace than usual - she'd be damned if that [i]Tamina[/i] thought they could go toe-to-toe.  She hopped from the bottom most limb, disappeared, and reappeared beside her otter of a best friend.

"Things seem relatively safe - we'll just have to stay on our toes and keep our eyes open.  Kosuke, would you like to take point?  You're the most physically defensible of us here and I'll be traveling just a little bit to the side, where I won't be seen quite so easily from the path," She explained as she offered the samurai the lead role.  After all, if they were ambushed, they would need him ready.
