Stopping mid step, her back remained towards them until Asahi had finished. After a moment's consideration,she slowly spun on her heel to face them. A quizzical smile of amusement spread across her face as she tilted her head aside.[color=ed1c24] “Oh? This is a sudden turn of events, I’m surprised you’d want to be anywhere near little ole me…..”[/color] [h1][/h1] Pausing for a moment as Duncan tried to convince Asahi otherwise, her sapphire eyes shifting from Asahi to Duncan. Bringing her pointer finger up to her chin, tapping away [color=ed1c24]“At least someone listened to a small piece of my wishes and desires, though I suppose that is to be expected….”[/color] Stretching out her arms above her head as she stood up on her tippy toes. [h1][/h1] With a long groan of satisfaction and muscles feeling a sense of relief, she let her arms fall to her side as she rocked back onto her heels [color=ed1c24]“But, Duncan is right for once in this case, I would prefer you to wait before venturing off on some Indiana Jones adventure, it may very well be your last crusade, what you find may just be your doom, I do not understand why either of you are insisting on running off into the unknown, has no one been paying attention to what has happened to those that have ventured off from the group? Would it not be easier to wait until we can move as one, there is strength in numbers, safety in numbers, the more we split up, the higher the risk becomes for everyone, that is just pure fact….”[/color] Letting out a small sigh of disappointment. Trying to get her point through to them, though she doubted that it would have much of an impact. [h1][/h1] A flicker shot through her eyes as a thought came to her in that moment.[color=ed1c24]“However, Asahi’s offer does…..intrigue me…it would make far more reasonable sense for me to venture out with Asahi if you continue to insist on leaving….”[/color] Holding out her palms either side of her as she gave a shrug [color=ed1c24]“Just look at me, I’m not the most physically gifted, I’m not the strongest, I may be awakened, but I’m still not even close to the same physical prowess as Duncan…my strengths lay in other areas, areas that could be more useful for trying to make sense of this mountain mystery that you are so determined to try to throw your lives away to find….”[/color] Brimming from ear to ear as she made her observation. Asahi had thrown down the gambit, but would he stick with it, or would Duncan’s words sway him. It was time to learn more about Asahi, it was an opportunity she wasn’t going to let slip through her grasp. Just what kind of man was her little pink haired classmate, Oros couldn’t help but wonder.
