[hider=Pointless]Yuki followed at a more sedate pace, moving just fast enough to keep them in sight but generally not straining herself. Why bother? With the speed they were moving, even this relatively slow speed was enough to stay ahead of pursuers. And, of course, anyone attempting to attack her from behind would find that her pack was rather... solid. Certainly not something that made attacking her from behind all that easy.

Eventually, she made her way to the rest--and promptly sat down, producing the shogi board from inside its canvas container and setting a game up. Maybe she'd be able to get someone else interested enough to learn the rules. Every now and then, she paused in her work to take a swig from one of the bottles stashed inside the board--essentially a large, ornate wooden box. Now packed with alcohol and clothing, in addition to the pieces she occasionally had to fumble to retrieve; putting them in their correct bags would make sense the next time she needed to pack.

"[i]You[/i] are supposed to guard the princess?" she wondered aloud, casting a disparaging look at the various injuries sustained, "Perhaps there should have been some sort of testing."

Openly antagonistic as she was, it was still a bad idea to get too confrontational in return--her blade, complete with drying blood towards the end, was lying unsheathed across her lap.[/hider]
