Kazuki had probably been the least friendly out of their little crew. Not to mention friendship had never been a goal of his; what mattered right now was [i]survival[/i]. This was beginning to make him wonder why this felt like more of a headache than anything else he had encountered, but any situation consisting of multiple people did tend to give him more trouble than he wanted. Robin's offer looked more and more appealing--at least he could burrow himself in his home there and never have to deal with anyone until he rode out all this. But if he went, he had a sneaking suspicion this girl would protest. Or worse, she'd follow him and convince Hammer not to let him in since he already had an obligation. He supposed the flexibility thing was less of a hassle, even if it wasn't his favorite solution. He did raise an eyebrow at skeptic--he was being [i]practical[/i], why could no one understand that?--but didn't comment on it. Well, he didn't have a choice. If he was going to put his money where his mouth was, then he needed to follow Seele's advice. He had faith in all but one but if they were going to insist on bringing that girl along then he didn't really have a choice. The decision was made for him. [color=plum]"Mhm. You're right about most of that, I suppose,"[/color] He said, beckoning her to follow. [color=plum]"Let's go find Graves, then. If I get punched in the face, you can try to calm him down."[/color] [/indent][hr][hr]
