[center][h2]Tokuda[/h2][/center] The group had gone through the darkened door, most of them eager to get a start on their brand new adventure within the tower. Tokuda was certainly a bit hesitant to move through the door, being one of the the last through the door as it slowly closed behind them. He held himself, his fingers wrapping around the edges of his armor as he gave a paranoid look around before the new mysterious man caught their attention. It was a moment of great fear in Tokuda, who stood there frozen as the mysterious figure summoned blades in both of his hands. His breathing quickened as he merely watched the figure began moving towards the group and the hopes of not having to fight something were dashed. Tokuda absentmindedly summoned his shield,the great towering shield his Tokuda as he held it up to defend himself despite being at the back of the group. Yet, despite holding the shield in front of him, Tokuda found that he could stare straight through it rather than having to merely cower in the unknown. He saw the figure calmly approaching them and he braced himself for a sudden attack, but instead it just kept approaching them. His eyes glowed as he absorbed the situation, thinking of what would be the best place for him to interject himself. There was enough time to think, especially since the figure was merely walking towards them. Then, he saw as the others began to move forward and commit to their roles within the party, Akiko taunting the hooded figure, Umi attempting to grapple the figure, and the others going defensive. With Umi attempting to keep the figure in one area, Tokuda pushed himself to rush forward to be of some help though still very much hiding behind his towering shield. Tokuda positioned himself between the figure and everyone else; Akiko, Rose, and Kanbaru. He kept his eyes on the figure, and though he had rushed forward, it seemed that Tokuda was still cowardly enough to shake behind his shield.
