Everything happened so fast that Youhei couldn't even flinch. Whatever trash talk their new acquaintance may have had in store, Aera's Persona ensured it would remain unsaid and in quite a graphic manner too. He blinked as the girl gave him a once-over, unsure of what to make of this sudden chain of events. [b]'Uh... Yeah, I'm ok. I think I'm ok... I'm ok, right? Yeah. I'm ok. Probably... Yeah.'[/b] Youhei nodded to reassure himself; he wasn't shaken so much as confused. There was no lack of people with reason to kill Persona users, but most would have picked a less conspicuous, some might say suicidal way to identify them. Something about the methods used here didn't quite add up... [b]'Yeah. Uh... Cheers. I reckon I owe you one for that. But yes, a sniper I can deal with, if he's distracted for a minute.'[/b] The disheveled hunter rooted around in his bag for a moment before producing a brace of 40mm grenades. As he loaded his weapon up, he gave Aera a sidelong look. [b]'So, uh... they friends of yours?'[/b] If the sniper were to be conveniently not looking his way for a few seconds, Youhei was quite confident that he could drop a round on him; unfortunately, that idea required a distraction... [b]'And... Sorry, but how fast can you run?'[/b]
