It was much unlike Kuroi to sleep in so late, and much unlike him to be fashionably missing from an important restaurant date. Poor Slick, he could only hope he had found a date. When the Vulpine stirred from his slumber, it had been at an ungodly hour. Sudden fatigue brought upon him by stress had overtaken him to such slothfulness. Blinking, he attempted to remember his dream from the night prior. It had been one of him living a different life - a life where he was a feline, not a fox. A life where he had found himself chasing after the heart of a black and red haired cat woman while he pursued the same aspirations he did in Avalia. 

It was a lovely dream. He could only wish his subconscious would allow him to revisit it some time. Ah well, onto the rest of the day...

By the time Princess Mikazuki had come to fetch him, Kuroi was already in a deep, apologetic bow by the time she opened the door to his room. He truly was beyond flustered and shameful for allowing exhaustion to overtake him so. After many apologies and what he deemed were excuses, he followed the princess to rent two camels before setting out on their trip across the dessert.

Although Kuroi had been unaware of the specifics that had happened during his absence, he was well aware of the main events that had transpired up until now. Surrounded by companions, new and old, Kuroi continued to take on the role of protector. The Vulpine dared not stray too far from the princess, doing so would further shame him. For the first few minutes or so, he found himself struggling to walk across the dunes for so long. It was rather annoying but he eventually adapted to the terrain. A small sigh came from him as his eyes looked around at the party. At his side within arm's reach was the princess - the woman whom he was most acquainted with. Not too far from him was an orc who went by the name of Uzul.

Although he had never seen him before, if Mikazuki could place trust in him, then so could he...to some degree. At some point, the Vulpine's eyes locked onto the orc's. Were it not for the fox mask he wore to shield himself from the winds and sand, he likely would have come across as more personable to the strangers. For now, he came off as a faceless fox mask-wearing Vulpine to the many strangers who accompanied him. 

Hm. A Vulpine wearing a mask fashioned after a fox. How humorous. 

He looked forward to fighting alongside him if the need ever arose. Then, his gaze turned towards Rosaria and her bodyguard. Like any uneducated man would know, royalty was gracing his presence. Accompanied by her bodyguard as all royalty should, no less. He may have not known her personally but to have a politically powerful ally alongside them helped him.

Finally, there was a man who went by the name of Jomari. From what he could reckon, he was another human. The group that originally started out as him, the princess, and Slick had now more than doubled in size. This journey was certain to be an interesting one.

As he had been doing since the beginning of their journey, Kuroi stayed mostly silent throughout. His eyes kept switching between the path before him and his companions. As always, the Vulpine had a watchful eye.
