[center][h2]Collab [color=0072bc]Ezra[/color] and [color=ed145b]Tomoe[/color][/h2][/center] Ezra got up from his sit down as the task begun. The girl was definitely different in this state, and he figured that Tomoe was not lying about this, so it didn't shock him that much but he still was a little creeped out by it. He was ready for the exercise to begin and so it did as his teammates departed apart from the new Tomoe, in which he had to take a second in order to think what to do. They needed to look for cover and he sat at the T intersection looking for something to do. The first thing he needed was to hide Tomoe's body, so that she couldn't be used as a potential hostage in the scenario. He figured that he could go hide her in one of the nearby houses, so that was the first task he set himself to. Motioning for the other Tomoe to follow him, he picked up the sleepy ones body and walked to the nearest house, which was conveniently located nearby. He put her in the upstairs bedroom before going back out the stairs in a fairly short space of time and closing the door, making it look as if nothing had happened. [color=0072bc]"Alright, other Tomoe. I memorized the map so I know where we want to go. We're gonna head right, then up to the higher road near the high school and establish a good position there. As far as I remember, there's a pretty good vantage point north of that, and that road seems to be the one connecting the area so maybe we can get something out of watching it. Follow me"[/color] he spoke as he began picking up a slow jog. He didn't want to tire himself out, but he'd have to hurry if he wanted to arrive there before another team given the importance of the location. The two others of their team had left them to their own, Tomoe her double gave yet another sly wave at the two leaving as she calmly cheered her voice at them. [center][color=ed145b]"Bai, bai."[/color][/center] Tomoe softly turned her head back towards Ezra as her body turned shortly after her head as well. Tomoe waited for Ezra to simply do anything. It did not appear that the girl was going to do anything else apart from being with Ezra right now. Ezra picked up Tomoe her own body as the clone softly gazed at him and followed his steps as they walked through the forest. Tomoe was happily snoring in his arms as she was being brought to her hideout. Tomoe was watching his every action as if she was gonna kill him if he hurted her or did anything bad to her original body at all. Ezra put her on one of the beds they had found and quickly left the room again, Tomoe gave a short sweet wave at herself before she strolled after Ezra out of the room. Ezra tried speaking to Tomoe but she only gazed at his eyes without seeming fased with what he had just said at all. After he was done she gave yet another wave and spoke the same words again with a sly voice. [center][color=ed145b]"Haaai."[/color][/center] She smirked at him as she grabbed hold of his hand gripping it tightly in affection towards him. As Ezra tried leading her the way he would find it somewhat difficult to pull himself away from her. She stood there for a moment trying to see what Ezra was trying to do before realising that he was trying to lead the way. Another short smirk appeared on her face before she softly walked after him not moving any faster at all. Ezra would realise this was not going to win him the event, so he figured that the clone couldn't understand movement. He found it quite weird that it was grasping onto his hand, but given that the real Tomoe was all over him moments ago, he didn't let it bother him as he shook his hand away from her and began improving a slow jog to a slow run. He was definitely wanting to get to that point on time, and if he did, it'd give him a huge advantage. He could operate as a sniper instead of having to engage in physical combat, and that'd save him a lot of bruises and energy for later on. Figuring this, he motioned for her to follow quicker as he went back to speed. Tomoe got Ezra caught for a moment in her slow pace. She herself didn't run and didn't like to run either so she mostly only used it when she really had to. Tomoe softly jogged after Ezra while he kept motioning to step up the pace. Tomoe kept going faster till he eventually stopped, she seemed more machine than man from the way she ran and dodged other obstacles. She could probably go even faster if she morphed her build but she wasn't as advanced as that yet. They eventually reached their location, a higher up point in the forest where they could see the open sky above them. Tomoe looked up for a minute before looking back at Ezra. She smirked and jumped over towards him hugging his arm tightly. She vividly snuggled her head against his arm with a bright smile on her face. This had gone beyond the point of affection right now. Given as they had reached their point, Ezra had crouched down the moment he reached it. An area near the intersection where both sides of the map met each other. He could tell from the stretch of road nearby, but, he didn't exactly feel right. That was probably because despite his best efforts, the Tomoe clone was all over him. And it was extremely weird because whilst he was definitely bothered by it, he was way too locked in to the exercise to care at this point. He sighed as she nuzzled his arm. [color=0072bc]"Not now."[/color] he spoke, giving the clone a tap with the locked up hand. He knew it probably wouldn't free up contact but he was trying to express a sense of urgency as he looked at the road and surveyed it. No-one was coming yet, which allowed him to address the problem at hand, this clone. She was far too flirtatious, especially considering the matter at hand. He knew Tomoe was touchy freely but he never figured it was this bad. Tomoe couldn't control any of this blatant snuggling and clinging to Ezra. If she wasted effort on trying even more she could maybe mess up if there was an incident with her clone. It wasn't so bad yet, her clone had done worse when she was out. If she were to describe it her clone would be quite sadistic if it wasn't about fighting. The clone only began hugging tighter as her smirk grew wider. Well at least he wasn't being beat to pulp. If she did not have any relation to Ezra that might have happened so she was actually quite happy this way. Ezra was looking down at the street to see if there were people comming. He seemed quite focused on it so Tomoe would happen him by looking at the road and around them just as frequently as Ezra did.
