Mayako eyes widened and his expression blushed a little as Aerias showed affection for him. It was not something he was used to receiving, not even from his family, so he wasn't quite sure how to react. His brash, humorous behavior was replaced by a meek, timid one. 'O-oh.. but I brewed that sake...' Aerias took his hand and started dragging him through the village, much to his surprise. He went without question, but wondered why she was showing him such a bright, cheery disposition. The last time he had shown this side of himself to people he was belittled and punished as an outcast. The Samahito technique was known for its merciful blows in battle, and not to over-do it as he had done before. However, he didn't protest as she dragged him through the village. He struggled to try and keep behind her because her pace was that of a young child. In his mind, Mayako questioned the girls intentions. What's her deal? First she's retching in pain then the next thing you know she's bounding off like a teenager. Certainly an interesting character. And what to make of this newcomer? Is he her former lover? Does he have intentions of informing her of her past? What will she think of me then? He glanced over at Kagu and noticed his sword, a wicked looking greatsword with intense edges and an eerie shape. It was almost as if it were crafted by the gods. He shook his head and continued to speak to himself. Nice sword, but with all that weight you'd be tagged three times before you could even get it over your head. I guess it's more along the lines of intimidation but who's to say? I'm interested to see how he handles himself. He looked around and noticed Arceus and the other woman had ran off, and he thought nothing of it. They had arrived at the nearest village inn and he stopped Aerias before they'd entered. 'Hey, Aerias. You don't have to give me this...' he returned her coin purse to her with more than what was originally in it, but she was unbeknownst to it. 'It's okay, really. But thank you for your generous offer.' He smiled as he looked into her eyes and felt something pang deep within his heart. It wasn't love, more along the lines of a need to protect her. To keep her safe from harm. To help her in her time of need. 'Kagu, what is it that you've come to find me for? My family is dead, and I have no intention of ruling the Samahito like it once was. I don't much care for relations between other clans, not that I don't care about them, but... it's just not my kind of business. I'm not good with keeping good ties with people.' He opened the door of the village inn for everybody who was still present with the group. 'Come on, we can discuss all this over a nice drink.' As he opened the door, a male bar-goer flew out and landed flat onto his back, groaning intensely. From inside of the bar he heard a drunken patron yell, 'That'll teach ya, freakin' punk!'
(By the way, just wanted to let you know that Jaks has green text as well so it'd probably be a good idea for one of you to pick a different color, we don't want to draw up confusion from it.)
