The beginning of the trip had yet to pass and already Yoshi was more or less fed up. There was an idiotic conversation and he wasn't sure he was happy with the motley crew. There was Ayumu, an everlasting annoyance whom he could simply not fathom. There was Hisaki, rival to his best friend and admittedly pretty good gamer, though Yoshiaki would never admit it. There was Rei, his best friend, who needed no further attention. Then... The two mysterious new girls. They were different. This he knew to be fact. And above all else, the younger brother Rei seemed to have adopted, who apparently believed just about everything he'd be told and was hell bent on embarrassing himself, Sanji. Yoshi couldn't help, but want to mess with the little fool, but for now he had something else to deal with. Apparently, they were to be giving their things to the fox chick. 

[color=orange]"You don't honestly believe I'm giving my things to that big ball of crazy furriness."[/color] He spoke quickly to the baby sitting atop his head. 

[color=red]"Believe me, she can handle far more than anyone here. And she could do it much more efficiently and quickly. At the rate we're moving it'd be dark out before we reached the site and we'd barely be able to set up."[/color] Fon replied with little to no extra thought or hesitation. It was sound logic really.  

[color=orange]"That isn't the point you damn ru- AH!"[/color] The young mafia boss to be immediately shouted in pain as he felt another attack from the tiny fist. 

[color=red]"Respect is an important virtue. I'd recommend you learn it.[/color] Fon replied simply. 

[color=orange]"You fu- GAH!"[/color] Before the curse could escape his lips another impact, audible to the rest of the group, sounded off. [color=orange]"Bastar- Dammi- Stop!"[/color] 

[color=red]"Everybody please allow Miss Volkov to relinquish you of your things. It'll be safer if we can without the added weight, and maybe even take in the beauty of the nature that surrounds us.[/color] Fon said presenting a small smile to the group as Yoshi begrudgingly removed his pack and handed it over to the fox. It seemed Yoshi wouldn't be allowed the same leniency much of the rest of his new allies seemed to receive. 

[color=orange]"There. I did it. Are you happy?"[/color] He spoke simply, clearly annoyed, though the baby seemed unphased. [color=orange]"What's next anyway?"[/color] Yoshi asked trying to move on from the embarrassment he'd just faced, and attempting to bury his clear anger.

Without another word Fon kindly had everyone, with the exception of Rei, who'd been the only one, other than Yoshi, to really refuse, hand over their things. It wasn't like it was much of a big deal. He'd allow Shiso to go off to the campsite while he led the small group further up and around the trail. A few hints of wildlife, impeccable scenery, like what you'd see in a movie or a game, and much more. You'd think he'd been in Namimori his entire life the way he was leading this apparent expedition. And soon the "fun" would come to an end. [color=red]"Well I do think that was quite an interesting first day. Don't all of you?"[/color] 

[color=orange]"What? That was it?"[/color]

[color=red]"What did you expect?"[/color] The infant tutor laughed a bit. [color=red]"I felt it was important that you be exposed to the beauty that surrounds you. You can learn a lot if you just stop and... Well... Smell the flowers." [/color] The apparently young man smiled taking another glance around. It was about as quiet as one would expect in the wilderness, faint noises here and there not much out of the ordinary. [color=red]"We'll be arriving soon. The evening is fast approaching. I suggest we take the time to set up and eat before the light of the sun leaves us. And then we may rest. Tomorrow will be another day."[/color] The infant patted Yoshi's head, the teen seeming somewhat disappointed by the turn out. [color=red]"The camp site is just beyond these trees."[/color] He said pointing ahead.
