@bloedend ASKED:
One of the barrels move at place and a few of the men startle at the sight of it, jumping from their places and reaching for their swords as muffled sounds come forth. The head eventually opens and out of it emerges Riku who is quick to take in her surrounding, amazed by the vast expanse of the ocean before her amber irises settle on Yuuji, a smile stretching across he face. ' Whoaaaa ! I can't believe I made it ! '
. éå .
It always pained to leave Riku behind, even if he knew the other villagers would take care of her, and she would be busy with the livestock and preparing for the harvest to come. Even so, he was planning on getting home quickly again, which is why he had been talking with Kazuma of a possible route, together with another crewmember. Maps suggested they could go a way less known, or stay to their path.Ā
Though their discussion is interrupted by noises; spooked men talking about a cursed barrel while getting armed. A supposedly cursed item did pique his interest, so he did follow the noise to the source. Thing is, he was just as shocked, if not more, when a familiar face appeared from the barrel.Ā āRiku?! What are you doing here?!ā his feet quickly brought him to his baby sister, lifting her out from the barrel. Crouching down he made sure she was unharmed, that her clothes were on properly, before he shrugged off his fur, wrapping it around her instead.Ā
āYou shouldnāt be here. You had duties to take care of at home. Who is going to take care of the animals and the fields when youāre not there?ā
As much as he wanted to just turn around and take her back, it was too late now.Ā
