Kiri walked through the village, a step behind Ryder and a step [i]away[/i] from Loona. She didn't have an interest in making smalltalk with her 'teammates' any time soon, not after their exchange last night. Kiri hadn't spoken a word since. She kept her face neutral as the fairy stammered and the hood attempted small talk. Loona flew forward to sit on his shoulder, leaving Kiri behind. There typical questions about what she was, what sort of missions he'd done... unoriginal. Predictable prattle.

...Not to say that Kiri [i]wasn't[/i] curious about these same things. If her eyes flicked to Ryder, awaiting his answer, it was only for a moment before she schooled herself again.

Kiri pressed her lips together, swallowing the words that sat in her mouth. [i][color=indianred]Worry about [u]this[/u] mission.[/color][/i] She kept her gaze trained ahead.

The cloth of her yellow hood hung heavy on her shoulders, the weight a constant reminder of the [i]reality[/i] of this situation. Kiri felt it pull behind her in the breeze made by her measured stride.
