Charlotte scowled deeply as she stormed through the halls. She was thankful that, for the most part, they were unpopulated. Every time she passed someone, a smile sprung back to her face, just in case they were someone who mattered. But she wasn’t in the mood for any of her acting right now. No, she was a woman on a mission.

She turned a corner and spotted the man she’d been looking for. Her expression darkened further as she marched over. She reached out and grabbed a hold of his arm, spinning him around to face her. She pushed the man against the wall, standing in front of him with her hands on her hips.

Kishuna passed by the gate, leaving town as the sun began to drop below the horizon. He cradled a small pouch of coins in one hand, searching through the bag with the other as he tried to give a fair estimate to how long he could make his money last. The answer was not long. He wasn’t a fan of camping outside the town but it wasn’t like he needed to the sleep in the first place, just to place to pass the night. Sighing, he tied the pouch back under his cloak and began his search for a place to rest.

Fortunately the search didn’t take long. There was a small forest to the west of the town with a tree with his name on it. Pulling a tattered (but functional) blanket out he sat with his back to the trunk. With one last sigh he glanced up to the sky when he noticed... a foot? No it couldn’t be. He tucked the blanket to the side as he stood up, stepping back to get a better look at the foliage above him with a perplexed look on his face.

“Not again...” Tobin sighed, kneeling down at the scene of the crime to study the poor condition of the garden bed. Once again, the food supply for the Order of Heroes had been pillaged, leaving behind nothing but tattered scraps and premature vegetation that was not yet edible. Digging his fingers into the earth, the Zofian retrieved a portion of torn cable that had been left behind. Bringing it closer to his face, he narrowed his eyes as he studied the very end carefully. It’s a clean cut. This ain’t the work of an animal, that’s for sure. He thought, rising to his feet.

“The stores are gettin’ pretty low. At this rate, we aren’t gonna have enough food for the colder months,” He admitted, moving a hand to his chin, “if it ain’t an animal, then who is it? And why?” He mused aloud, though the answer was far more obvious than the dense man could process. Though Tobin couldn’t quite pinpoint a motive, he knew at least had enough sense to know that it was a mystery that needed to be solved, unless they planned on slimming down for the winter. Problem was, Tobin wasn’t much of a problem solver. At least, not when it required a lot of brainpower.

There was a sparring match going on in the Askrian castle, was it the arena? Azura had no idea, she was still relatively new to this whole place. She climbed up the stairs into the stands of the arena, she found an empty spot and sat down. 

Thinking she was alone she turned her head and nearly fell out of her seat, the ninja known as Saizo was sitting next to her. Ninjas needed to be sneaky and maybe she just didn’t see him at first?

ooc; war of the dads--go go

“...well, I’m glad you’re doing well, my lord.” Setsuna smiled as she bowed to the eldest royal sibling. “It was a nice talk...I hope for the chance again.” 

Still, she did have some duties to tend to, and much as talking to Lord Ryoma could take priority, she could only use that excuse for so long. She had slack to pick up, with so many of the other retainers being busy at the moment. She parted from his company and headed off, towards the courtyard. Practice, she should get some practice in while she had the chance to do so uninterrupted.

Although the peace was nice, she couldn’t help but wonder where the so called “best retainers” had wandered off to. For someone who claimed to dedicate his life to his lord, he certainly hadn’t been around in such a long time, as far as anyone could tell.
