Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tsurai finally found what he was looking for; A switchblade. Everyone Tsurai knew back home wouldn't go anywhere without one.
Tsurai lost his, and he didn't know where the one in his own duffelbag went, but here was Alex's, and that was good enough.

Before folding it out, he threw it at Isiah.

"Stand up, and we'll see if you've really ever been in a knife fight."

Tsurai groaned. "Fine. How about just defense, then?"

Tsurai took the knife from Isiah and shoved it in his pocket.

"I don't have two arms so this might be tough.. Do you know anything called Akeido, or are Denziens all upper body strength?"

Tsurai sighed and walked forward. "Go easy and slow; we're both really tired. I'll just.. Let you move me."

Tsurai took his fist and leaned like he was frozen, trying to punch Isiah's chest. "So then you know the barrel roll? Or the shoulder throw? What would you do if I was stabbing you."

Tsurai sighed, standing up straight and then sitting down. "You can't break a wrist that fast.. And me niether."

He laid on his back. "Sorry."

Alex came walking back, then. She was straightening out her shorts, brushing off her shirt, and then musing with her dirtied hair.
She must've been busy with Braeden.

Alex was smiling, but not in her usual evil way, and actually acknowledged Isiah, for once, by giving a brief hi, then looking down at Tsurai. "Are you okay?" She asked.

"Do you have any food that isn't spiked with anything in your bag?" Tsurai returned.

"Oh.. Uh.. Actually, yes. Yeah, I think I do." Then she knelt to her bag and started looking for some of this non-spiked food.

Alex came out of the bag with a box of jerky. "This batch is clean. So don't worry about it." She shook it at Tsurai.

"I don't know if I really trust you anymore, Alex." The woman shrugged, putting the box on the floor. "I think that's all I have. I packed up kinda fast."

Tsurai grunted, sitting up and looking through the duffelbag next to her. "I thought I saw some carrots in here, though."

"Oh.." Alex chuckled. "You don't want to eat those. That would really screw you up. They're not carrots, either. Just orange."

He looked at Alex, as if nothing had happened a few hours a go, or any distrusting had ever taken place. "Yeah? What'd you do to them?"

"It's a new drug I tried mixing. I haven't tested it, yet. I don't know what will happen. But it'd a hallucinagen. I don't think-"

"I'll test it for you. I mean, in my condition, I can't hurt anyone, right? Besides. this stuff might get us more food." he went for the box of orange carrot-looking pellets.

Alex grabbed Tsurai's arm. "No, I really don't think you should, Tsurai. I don't want you going crazy. Even if I wanted you to- which I don't- it'd be when you're atleast healthy. This makes your adrenaline shoot up. You'll burn all your resources."

"Tsurai grumbled. "Nonsense. I can live. If nobody tests, it how you gonna sell it?"

Tsurai frowned and looked to Isiah. "I'd rather be goin' crazy then Braeden. Braeden's some a*****e with a knife. I'm a one-handed starving moron. Seriously, who's more dangerous? Me or him?"

Alex grimaced and wouldn't let go of Tsurai's arm. "That's not the point..."

Tsurai shook his head and a shiver went up his spine. Isiah was right. He chucked the drugs back in the bag.

"How long is what you gave me gonna last?" Tsurai grumbled, picking up a piece of jerky from the box and smelling it.

"Because being this calm is really starting to freak me out."

Alex play-shoved the boy. "It's been a few hours, so.. Maybe.. I think it will wear off in another hour or so.

Tsurai hissed at his bad arm being touched. "Try not to touch that, it still really hurts."

He looked over to Isiah, concerned. "You want some of this jerky?"
