[color=378E75]“What do you need. I assume you are here for a reason.”[/color]

Benkei’s heart sank the moment his eyes fell to Luci. He was praying for Priscillica or Leaves to be there first, but the ice queen herself was here. [i]Who does she hate more? You? Or Kazuki? He couldn’t save Aaginim’s life, but you led the team. It’s your fault most of all.[/i] Benkei clenched his fist tightly, trying to drive out all the thoughts constantly spiraling in the back of his head. 

It was probably the most surprising thing that he actually spoke up first, among the whole group. [color=98A9B1]“You’re probably aware that Wayfairers are disappearing. And not just by dungeons or out in the field.”[/color] He felt the gap between the two; the endless schism that separated the two. She had lost so much. And he was standing here with his brother. Was it right for him to be here? [color=98A9B1]”If we are to survive here for the time being, we have to work together. Whether it’s information or protecting one another. To the people of this city, we’re nothing more than refugees now, and that paints a target on the back of everyone.”[/color] 

If there was one thing he wanted above all else now, it was to prevent any more tragedies like they’d experienced. Benkei never wanted to see that pain again.
