Shade nodded in agreement at Elst's statement. The more people they had, the safer they'd all be, right? He was still pondering this thought when he felt something touch his hand. He blinked, snapping out of his thoughts as he saw Aoi holding his hand. He nodded softly as he heard the Essentic's voice in his head. What he said was...soothing, oddly enough, and he felt a bit of is nervousness fade. "A...A-Alright."
He waited a moment before looking up at his two older friends, his tail flicking behind him. "Where...do you t-think we should start l-looking...?"
