Shu raised his shoulders when his hair was ruffled, his eyes tight shut before he slowly looked up at Takeshi again. “I guess…and not…just because…” he muttered as he slowly looked away again. He hoped it was because Takeshi wanted to fight with him and wasn’t just trying to protect him or something, especially when he was supposed to be strong enough to defend himself by now. He wasn’t a little weakling, but he still had his doubts since if he wasn’t then Takeshi would probably ignore him. Hearing Takeshi yesterday made him wonder what Takeshi wanted from him and whether it was just for someone to protect. He was a little scared, he didn’t want Takeshi to get bored of him especially when had spent most of his life without true family. He was going to have to hold onto him tight and keep close to him as much as possible if only to make sure he really did want him around. “Uhhhm…I wanna fly around! I want to shoot things and be strong…I want to be able to beat them too!”

T’charrl was probably having the hardest time with this situation, but he didn’t want to end up freaking out in front of everyone just because he was having a slight bout of confusion over this area. To see a place that was just gone with no trace of life, just shells made him wonder if this was a completely different dimension they were looking into, yet didn’t know that they were. Keeping his freakout to himself he frowned as he looked to Haku, generally unable to answer. “…I don’t know if they’re still alive. Maybe they are, but…I-I don’t know…” he spoke, looking down at his claws, “I hope they are. If it turns out they are dead I would still like to make sure their spirits are in this dimension and not stuck in that place”. It was awfully difficult for him and nobody else was going to be able to help him with these kinds of problems. Sighing lightly he looked to Haku, staring at him as he slowly tilted his head. “I-If they’re still alive, yeah…yeah, we should. But we’re also not allowed to cross the portal so the Beastmen have to find them and fight and-…there’s so much we have to do in such a short time…”

Viral thought for sure that this area was cleared on purpose, not just because there was a village. If the other village hadn’t been touched it obviously wasn’t a purge, they would had taken them too. This area was needed to be cleared, but now they just had to find out whether it was supposed to be a single clear or if there was a path elsewhere that lead them in a line to another area like this. He didn’t know if there was a pattern, he couldn’t get in the air to see nor could he risk sending someone else up there instead. Growling in frustration he looked around, slowly heading towards the empty area with the others. “If they wanted rid of the race, they would had found that other village for sure. It’s hardly a coincidence that they’re gone”. Looking around the empty area he tried to look for a pattern, maybe the sign of a struggle as well. There was nothing that said anything, just blank land with nothing left of it. “…Whatever happened, there was barely any struggle. They did this as quickly as possible to not alert the rest anything else that was in the area. What I want to know is where did they go and how do we get there…” If they could find that they could find the portal, he was sure. They needed to get to the other side somehow, but he had no idea how to do such a thing. “Is this…portal possibly larger than we thought…” he muttered, letting out a groan before looking around again, “There could be another area, or we’re right on the correct area. We can’t see the area from the air, not without making somebody an open target…”
