"Uhmm, help?"

Saito stood in Palmacosta. He was somewhere. Yeah, somewhere. He looked around shops were everywhere just like usual. A sigh escaped his lips. Why did he have to be lost? His head turned from one direction to the other. Where to go, where to go. He couldn't exactly find any good places. Joy. He bit his lips, he was a burden again wasn't he? Kaixa is probably looking for him by now seeing how the sun was setting. Where was the inn again? Why were there so many shops? Even more was that there were so many people walking around and blocking his view. A sigh escaped his lips. Hopefully he can get his way out of here somehow.

Soon though he felt a hand touched his shoulders. He spun around to see a man with brown hair and blue eyes. Did he knew the guy? He was sure they had not met before. Although the man's clothes looked terrible. No, as feminine as he looked, the boy was not into fashion. Rather the clothes on the stranger were rags to say the least. There were quite ripped as well that it made the poor boy felt sorry for him.

"Are you lost kid?" the man asked.

Aww how nice, the stranger was trying to help him. Eager the teen nodded. He was utterly lost, he had no idea where he was and the sun was setting too. He needed to find his way quick and this guy was willing to help him. Today was his lucky day alright. A smile dawned on his face. "Do you know the way to the inn?" he asked hoping for a nod or some signs that the guy did know.

"It's through that alley." came the answer.

"Thank you." he chimed as he bowed showing his gratitude. It was only polite after all. Soon he headed towards that direction. The alley was pretty dark but the sun helped him a bit. Soon he found some guys blocking his way. That was when he realized. He fell for a trap didn't he? He scratched the back of his head for a moment and a nervous chuckles came through his lips. "Uhmm can I pass through?" he asked his voice ever so soft.

The men simple shook their head. Yeah he figured that. Another sigh came out. He took out his ofudas and got ready. This was not going to end well for him. He doesn't fight well with close range and this place was a bit narrow. Joy.

Did you get into trouble again?

The sun was setting. The mercenary headed out from the bathroom after washing his face. It was three years ever since he started this dangerous business, but it was his only way to help himself as well as children in church back at Hima. This man was none other than Kaixa Brigadier, a mercenary who wanted to atone for his sins of his past. In order to do that the man felt his life should go down a hard road if he was to be forgiven, but in the end he wanted to lead a virtuous life for himself. Now that he thought about it… where was Saito? He always seemed to be getting into troubles, and he promised him he will return to Inn after sunset.

Kaixa gave himself a facepalm and a silent sigh in the head. The kid was truly a pain in the ass, but it wasn’t like the mercenary had any choice. He would leave him at the church back at Hima, but they had more than enough kids to take care of. Again, the mercenary had to go look for him he knew well that boy couldn’t make it back alone at this late hour.

Outside air breeze was freshly crisp from smell of the sea, and strangely there were a lot of people outdoors at the moment. Kaixa did admit that the sunset from this angle was phenomenal, but he highly doubted the people were out for just a simple breeze and a sunset. He walked around the town trying to find Saito, but when he found he the mercenary saw him from the distance when he called out to him the loud crowd only seemed to block his voice.

The mercenary followed soon after, shoving and pushing people out of the way due to the fact that they were in his way. Kaixa reached for his Flamberge’s hilt on his hips, but it ended up to point where he followed him to the ally. He decided to watch from the distance first, because charging in recklessly could get Saito hurt from the midst of chaos that he was about to cause. It was best to understand the situation the boy was in first before going in to teach the men their lesson. The men had disgusting dirtied expressions on their faces; he only had to assume that the boy was their ‘victim’.

He did admit, Saito did look like a girl up close, but really he was a boy. Kaixa walked into the dark alley, but the clack from his boots was more than enough to make known of his presence. His eyes studied the men, there were about three of them to be exact along with the guy who dragged in his companion into their perverted party. It made him sick thinking that these kinds of men existed, he approached them with an emotionless face, but in reality he was quite pissed off.

“Hey, what are you doing here?”

The mercenary didn’t reply, when he was close enough Kaixa threw in a kick into the man’s mouth shattering teethes and cheekbone. It wasn’t long before two men followed up with a weapon, a knife and a wooden board. Kaixa grabbed the man’s wrist holding the knife and pressed on the pressure point on the hand making him let go of the weapon, after that he threw in a powerful knee kick that cracked the man’s ribcage making him fall on the ground screaming. The board swung at the mercenary’s head, but he easily dodged by ducking, and followed up with an uppercut shattering the man’s jaw.

“Got into trouble again I see…”

[saito]

"Maybe."

As Kaixa appeared, Saito took a relief sigh. Thank god the guy made in time. Although he knew that he was going to be in trouble later. Joy. Just when he didn't want to be a burden too. He had really got to learn on how to defend himself better or at least not fall for these traps. One might think he had fell into enough of these that he would have learned to avoid them but they would be wrong. He was far too trusting of others and so he tends to fall for these kind of traps. Lets not forget the fact that he looked weak and feeble to which only made people wanted to target him. Why couldn't he be born more manly? He just had to have most of his mother's traits? It was that he hated her, it's just that it's because of these traits he gets into trouble so much.

“Got into trouble again I see…”

The boy scratched the back of his head a bit. "Sorry?" he apologized. He knew that he had done this many times before but it was the only thing he could ever think of. Yeah, he needed to learn to not trust people so much. Whichever being the case he had gotten into trouble. The statement was simple and it was a hundred percent true. Why did he always have to cause trouble for the guy. It was amazing how he had lived up until now. Maybe he had just been lucky. That's probably the case and in a way he was still lucky now seeing that his savior had been putting up with him.

He three three paper seals, one on each of the injured bodies. He'll just heal them a little bit. The injuries were quite severe after all. "First aid." he mumbled before he walked towards his companion. "So uhmm, where' the inn again?" he asked as he was still not so sure where the inn was. Another thing he was bad at, sense of direction. Maybe he should get a map of each city, that would help him a lot but then again it would also cost a good amount of money seeing this place was pretty big. Then there was the whole case of the chosen and people wanting to find the Tower of Salvation and are looking for maps with towns that sell dragons or towns with a good view.

From what he had heard though, the chosen ones have yet to get out of the tower. He never knew why though. Maybe they were trapped in a maze or something. That must be the case. He was a bit curious himself though. So far from what he had gather the chosen here was a girl unlike in his world. Even more was that the chosen had a big group traveling with her and they weren't all men. Hopefully she wasn't flirtatious either. The thought made him chuckle a bit. Yeah hopefully.
