The redhead certainly had a mouth on her -one that most likely offended her other teammates- but she sure was funny. She could switch emotions at the drop of a hat, it seemed, going from excited to sheepish when she went to answer Lucia's reasonable questions. Akari found herself wanting to know more about the girl, mind filling with questions about her fighting style and her motivation behind applying to the Academy, if she had even had to apply. She filed these away for later. They were on a mission, after all. Maybe she'd meet up with R.R. again back at the academy. If not, most of these questions would have to be left unanswered. When R.R. looked her way for confirmation, Akari gave a firm nod of her head. Technically, Kuni was supposed to be in charge, but the girl stayed quiet which led Akari to take the role of leader. After Lucia told R.R. to begin leading them to the sensor, Akari dutifully took her place at the back of the pack. She listened to the sound of gunshots in the distance, her body itching to assist in the battle. Despite this, she kept a clear mind and stayed on course, and it wasn't long before they had arrived at the first sensor. Upon reaching the sensor, Lucia quickly took over. She gave everyone their positions before leaping up to take on the sensor. Akari didn't mind one bit, staying on the ground to keep watch with R.R. while Kuni purposefully messed with Dee. They had a bit of time to talk, so why not utilize it? [color=CD853F]"So, R.R.,"[/color] Akari began, unsure of what to say despite having so many questions in mind. [color=CD853F]"What's it like having so much responsibility? You seem like someone who enjoys being a little more...loose."[/color] They didn't get the chance to have a back and forth conversation, with Lucia jumping back down shortly after Akari asked her question. She regrouped with her team, listening as Kuni told them about the next sensor. They were making great time. At this rate, they'd be finished and back to the Osprey in about forty-five minutes. Perhaps they could even go to help out another team, or find Riyame and give R.R. back. [color=CD853F]"Lucia and I will be able to take the hill pretty easily. I can launch you and R.R. up there, Kuni, but you'll have to be careful not to break anything on landing."[/color] Akari had given her teammates lessons on how to properly land after being thrown by Concussion, but she wasn't sure if those lessons had stuck with Kuni. [color=CD853F]"That, or we can just walk. It isn't too steep."[/color]
