To say that having Takumi allied with Askr is dangerous—or, at least, this particular version of him from the World of Conquest—isn’t exactly a difficult conclusion to draw. Anyone who has fought alongside him could tell you that his stability is questionable at best.

In Takumi’s defense, he did just take out an Emblan soldier that had been aiming for Kliff. That didn’t cancel out the murderous look in his eyes, but…well…he seemed to understand where his loyalties laid.

           “well considering i’d rather not die.” kliff acquiesced, “and i can’t let you run off on your own.” he stood, pulling the offered backpack onto his shoulder and setting his jaw. he was still in his gangly, awkward stage. his limbs looking too thin and long for his body, his hair bigger than his head, his eyes wide and frightened half the hours hours, and dead and bored the other. he had one or two half baked spells under his belt, and faye was more determined than skilled in a fight. surely if either of them left alone, they’d barely get past the first forest to the next town.
