She knew this feeling— soon enough, it would start raining and they would need to start running for shelter. Preferably somewhere safe but was there anywhere safe in this area? Hopefully. Still, when she had looked up, the night sky was eerily clear. The boom of thunder echoed around them but she couldn't tell if it was close or not. She bit back a sigh, hoping that they were mistaken. Hoping that there was no storm that would pour some torrential rain on them while they're out in the wilderness.

[color=f26522]"I never thought I'd ever find myself in a surprise hike."[/color] She huffed out, squinting her eyes through the darkness to see the two figures in the distance. No structures yet, unfortunately. The path seemed to stretch infinitely before them and Hiroko thought back to what she could have done to make the universe want to put her into this kind of situation. 

They had kept moving, Hiroko alert as something seemed to move in the darkness. Hopefully, it was just an animal that got spooked by their presence during the night. Hopefully, not the kind of animal that would have them for a late dinner. The statues came closer and bigger and more distinguishable. Hiroko looked back at the two of them when they talked about the gunner who had fled into the night.

[color=f26522]"Yeah. I'd rather not confront him at all. The only thing I've been taught when it comes to people holding guns is to just give them what they want."[/color] Hiroko lifted her shoulders in a shrug. Thankfully, she hadn't exactly had to deal with that in the entirety of her career. [color=f26522]"Let's just keep going. I'm sure we'll hear him before we see him."[/color] If he had been that noisy earlier, maybe they can play it to their advantage.

Idly she observed the warrior statues as they came closer, wondering if they looked familiar at all. Maybe it'll give her a general idea of what place in the country they were at.
