"Neither him or Damian who could complain and b***h while we're heading back." Kenji chuckled at the thought, but cleared his throat when facing Jade again. The cloaked woman feeding the horse another handful of carrots while her free hand stroked Mika's mane.
Kenji smiled almost sadly when staring at the girl, finding that she must have been close with her stallion.

Probably the only being that acted kind around her instead of the gypsies. "Do you all have places to stay? You're welcome to stay with us if you like. Probably sharing a room with Kaminari and Sayuri." He offered kindly, Jade's eyes widening slightly at the name Sayuri. She shook her head, patting Mika's back lightly.

"N-No. I'm fine, really. And we all usually have a place to stay while traveling." She stated quietly. Her place usually either out in the stables or sometimes with what seemed like her only friend in the large group.

[Sir Shirkin]

"We travel in a group as well. Though, not nearly as large as yours... get's tiring sometimes." Nyoko mused.

"Jade." A deep, flowing voice would come from behind them as a shadow moved across the ground towards them. It was the dancer from before, still garbed in his dancing attire. His appearance suggested he'd just finished another dance, a light blush across his fair skin from the exertion. "The other's are setting up camp for tonight. Had to make sure you knew so they didn't leave you behind." he mused.

[xShattered_Valentinex]

Jade turned at the dancer's voice sounding from behind her, merely nodding. "Okay. Thank you." She replied quietly, stroking Mika's back one last time before landing a small kiss upon the side of the stallion's head as her way saying goodnight and even greeting the horse.

"Rest well girl." She whispered before exiting the stallion's stall along with the others. She glanced at Kenji and Nyoko again before she were to head off with the dancer. Eyes setting upon Kenji who's eyes seemed focused on the dancer again like earlier. But, the wolf blinked and scratched the side of his head.

"Well, it was nice meeting you, Jade. And great performance you put on tonight." He directed to the both of them, smiling somewhat shyly before meeting Jade again.

[Sir Shirkin]

The dancer said nothing, though gave Kenji a slight, playful smile before he and Jade head off. He could be heard asking Jade to help him remove the feather's from his hair, his velvet voice relaxed.

Nyoko glanced between Kenji and the two, watching as they departed. She'd noticed Kenji had been acting a bit shy, not her borther's usual attitude. It stoked her curiousty.

[xShattered_Valentinex]

Jade had kindly accepted to carefully remove the feathers from his hair, hood remaining up even when around her friend. She would then hand the feathers to her friend, sighing faintly as they proceeded towards camp. "So, what did you think of your audience tonight?" She questioned, voice remaining somewhat emotionless but hints of curiousity heard.

--

"I suppose we should head back now." Kenji mused, glancing at his sister when walking past her to head off towards the inn. Which wasn't too far to be honest. If one looked fairly close, a fairly light blush was dusted across the wolf's cheeks as he entered the inn with Nyoko and departing to their bedroom for the night.

[Sir Shirkin]

He thanked her, taking the feathers once she handed them to him. "Lively people... loud too. Though interesting..." he mused, looking ahead of them to see they were nearing the other's.

[xShattered_Valentinex]

The next morning arrived swiftly for both the large group of gypsies as well as the much smaller group that was staying at the inn. Kenji's ears lazily flicked early that morning, face buried in his pillow while one of his legs nearly dangled off the side of his bed while snoozing.
Sayuri and Kaminari were up at the usual early hour though.

Kaminari staring out the bedroom window with Niji held in front of her. "Awe...they're leaving already?" She sighed, causing Sayuri to crawl on Kaminari's bed to gaze out the window as well.

They sighed heavily while watching Jade silently head down the nearly empty roadway with Mika slightly behind her. Bridal, saddle, reins, and everything that was needed for travel equipped on the black stallion.

[Sir Shirkin]

As the morning progressed and the sun grew brighter, the town came back to life once again, going about their day like they had been before the gypsy's arrived. Apparently they'd been to the town before, so their sudden disappearance wasn't too odd to the people.

Though, it was found odd that one of the king's messenge birds was circling the inn, and had been for almost an hour.

[xShattered_Valentinex]

Sayuri sighed, hoping maybe they could come across the group of gypsies once again. She layed down on Kaminari's bed in silence with her arms crossed along her stomach. Staring blankly up at the ceiling as the image of Jade's eyes from the night before returned to mind.

She shuddered inwardly, while Kaminari opened her window slightly when spotting the messanger bird soaring about the skies.

After it had perched upon her arm, Kaminari took the letter from the bird, Sayuri sitting up as her friend began to read the letter aloud.

--

Sikune herself was up at the early hour after experiencing a night of receiving little rest. She sat up slowly, her muscles aching in her torso and legs for a reason she wasn't too sure of. But, Sikune glanced at her husband, smiling tiredly as she leaned down to kiss him softly.

[Sir Shirkin]

In the letter, it address the entire group, regarding Shin's possible whereabouts. Kuro had kept in touch with the castle, relaying information when something happened. The kind had apparently informed guards stationed away from the castle, and allies about Kerlin and Shin's descriptions. Kerlin had been spotted in a far mountain village, though there was no sign of Shin. He'd been observed heading up into the mountains on occasion, and also washing blood stained clothes in the river that flowed near the village from the mountain lake.

--

Vincent kissed back, partially asleep as he wound an arm around Sikune, yawning as he pulled away.

[xShattered_Valentinex]

Kaminari let loose a faint sigh after reading the information, deciding to give the letter to Raiden and Kuro as well to read over the given whereabouts. The girls both watched as Raiden scanned the letter silently, the wolf lowering the paper at some point.

Allowing a sigh to fall from his lips as well. He didn't have much to say in reply towards the letter that he was presented with. Practically speechless in other words especially after reading one section that spoke of Kerlin washing blood stained clothes in a river.

Sayuri could imagine how her poor uncle felt, quite worried herself for Shin. She approached the towering wolf and hugged him gently around the waist. "It's okay Uncle Raiden...we'll find him." She whispered, Kaminari joining in the hug as well.

Raiden couldn't help but smile slightly down at the two, kneeling to make eye contact with both of them. "I'll let the others know. Can you give the letter to Uncle Kuro so he can read it?" He asked warmly, smiling again as they both nodded in unison before heading off to the fox's bedroom.

[Sir Shirkin]

Kuro sighed as he pulled a shirt over his head, having just taken a shower, and wanting to get dressed. He glanced wearily over at the bed, his wallet laying on it after he'd made it. Money was starting to become an issue. He'd saved up most of his life, though now the expenses were becoming too much.

[xShattered_Valentinex]

Soon, a light knock sounded at Kuro's bedroom door from Kaminari and Sayuri. Once they were invited inside, Kaminari handed the letter to Kuro with her eyes as well as Sayuri's fixated upon the fox. Awaiting for his reply or reaction after reading the content.

[Sir Shirkin]

Kuro's eyes widened slightly as he read through the letter from the king. "I am assuming we are to go after him?" he asked, seemingly anxious over the new information.

[xShattered_Valentinex]

The little girls exchanged glances with one another until meeting Kuro's anxious gaze, "I guess we can. Don't see why not." Sayuri shrugged, anxious herself to leave the inn as well and search for her uncle again.

"Yeah, and I'm sure Raiden wants to leave just as much as you." Kaminari mused with a small yawn, blinking tiredly.
