[He didn't actually fall but whatever, I'll go with it. xD]
「XXXX The other presence that followed behind Oragor had a similarly dark feel to it that Finn wasn't particularly comfortable with. To be fair both of them were off-putting to him, but there wasn't a whole lot he could do about it from having his face in the dirt again. He pushed himself up to his elbows and then more carefully to his knees as he pulled his pack back to his lap. His gaze remained downward, avoiding the eyes watching him as he basically made a fool of himself. Or maybe his mind was just exaggerating the situation.
Oragor asked Finn to take his hand, which finally led the blue-eyed boy to look up and toward the red aura that was vaguely humanoid through his eyes. He reached out carefully in search of the village leader's hand and, when he found it finally, he pulled himself to his feet. "It's hard to have questions when you don't know anything to begin with," he replied softly, although gratitude poured from him. "Or maybe there are just so many questions that I dunno where to start." A hand went to the back of his neck. "I don't know where I am or even really who I am." He shook his head and his hazy gaze turned away. "I don't want to be a bother. Can you just... direct me somewhere I can have a roof over my head?"XXXX」

[ O ]dd to see such fear, but then it could be possible he was truly a boy in that skin instead of an adult acting from taking that girl, Kagerou Uchiha's, aging pill. IT was a rarity and one he'd chosen to see as suspicious, as too many could easily fake being child just to sneak into his good graces and fool him. So when the boy pulled himself to his feet he decided then and there to believe the boy to be just as he was, at least for the moment, for there was truly no deception in his taste. In fact the parasites ignored him, reacting not at all, instead hungering for the female whom had acted her way into a potential position of power with the leadership of Kokorogakure. tab Stepping back Hesrik gave the boy some measure of space, his scythe touching the ground with care. With Finn's eyesight leaving much to be desired he wouldn't likely treat Hesrik as old, and instead go off of his voice which, while quite, alone wouldn't pain him as ancient as he appeared. As such he had less to worry about. Placing one hand upon his hip and lightly feeling the pressure of his spell book upon his side the elder turned his head to look towards his newest recruit before turning back to Finn. "I will take you to my home, if that is fine with you," he began with a hint of glee, already using his free hand to form strange gestures to communicate to the guards that followed him. They would relay the situation to the Anzu, that someone was ill and incapable of maneuvering on their own and as such needed special attention. Given the way they seemed to worry for their elders and ill they would likely take it as a good sign of his character which would only serve his purposes better. "You caught me at a good time. As I said previously another has awoken, which gives me the ability to explain to both of you the situation without needing to repeat myself. Please, take a hold of my scythe and follow. I will show you the way." tab Extending the haft of his weapon for the boy to touch he waited for the grasp and acceptance before he would lead the way slowly, deciding to take the slow way without revealing anything about his capabilities.

「XXXX At the mention of a scythe, Finn blinked in confusion, concern slowly spreading across the small smile he bore. He squinted slightly, trying to make out the object in Oragor's hand, but next to the colorful blobs of people, or what he assumed was people, around them, it was basically invisible. Which was more than a little strange for him because, like Oragor and his companion, they were just solid, humanoid colors, each different and certainly unusual. What was more worrying was the fact that this man was carrying around a scythe of all things. Who did that? He'd never carried around a knife let alone a weapon like a scythe. Maybe it had something to do with the culture of this place? Wherever 'here' was. Maybe it was a symbol of power the leader bore. In which case, maybe Finn was getting in over his head.
He sort of just wanted to get away. But unused to his blindness in the normal world and having no idea where in the world he even was, plus the fact that no one else had stepped forward to help him, he didn't really see any other choice. Not until he could find his way around anyway. Until he could get used to his disability, he would be at the mercy of whoever did extend a hand. Which was, in this case, the town's leader. He hesitantly reached out, taking hold of the smooth haft. Once he did, Oragor led him away toward... wherever they were going.
After a few steps, Finn calmed himself down a bit. If anyone or anything meant him any harm, he was sure they would have done it by then. Not to mention that, besides the tension he himself gave off, no one around them seemed to bear any hostility or even really notice him anymore. They all went about their lives as if nothing had happened, which was fine by him. That also meant he was able to build up the courage he needed to ask some questions. "If you don't mind my asking... where are we? I-I know you said Koko-something but where is that?" He wasn't entirely sure the answer would help; a lot of things he felt like he should know were fuzzy at best and non-existent at worst. Like picturing a map of the world as an example. XXXX」

Takeda's hands clasped together in the tiger seal, mana dispersing around his form and opening up the pathway in front of him. Others in the marketplace saw, of course, but nobody made the move to stop him. Some stopped, others walked faster, but none approached. After all, it wasn't any of their business what happened in the sealed-off area. There would have been more resistance if he wasn't acting under the cover of night when the market was at its slowest. After peeking over his shoulder to see if anyone was going to make a move towards him, the young warrior drew a compact looking shortsword and made his way into the newly opened entrance.
Naturally, some events lead to that particular moment.
The past four days since entering Kokorogakure were spent collecting information. Laying low, learning about locals and keeping his ears open for new rumors. The village from its name to design reminded him far too much of one of the Shinobi villages, which meant that its leader likely had some amount of experience in that life. He wasn't going to trust the place using Mist Wraith sigils and executing public punishments either. During the time of keeping his head low, he'd heard about the place that was sealed off for a multitude of reasons. Whether the kage wanted it that way for his secrets or was merely doing it to protect the villagers was beyond anyone's knowledge. It would be rewarding for Takeda regardless of the reason. If there were secrets, it'd give him more answers to the many questions he had about Kokorogakure. If it was merely meant to protect the villagers, he'd terminate the issue and get rewarded for it.
As for Shadow and Kagerou, he figured that they could take care of each other. They had plans involving the Sero, and he wouldn't be surprised if at least one of them wanted to restore Kirigakure in some way. As far as Takeda was concerned, the villages should stay a relic of the past without the Daimyo present. It was for that reason that he would probably branch his path off from theirs eventually. Maybe he'd ask Iron Oak to send him somewhere else again. He could settle down and maybe make a community that didn't bother with things like Ninjutsu or power struggles. Before any of that, he needed to sate his curiosity on the heart village. If his suspicions were correct, it was just another place taking advantage of the weak. Just another one to be destroyed.
Takeda steeled himself and got to work, reaching out for more answers to his questions.
Having entered the market place with the large farmhand, Xanion and the whtie fox eared girl, Alasia Tatsuki entered with her eagle flying overhead keeping a eye on her.
Land of... flowers? there was such a place? and Assassins? ninja in a place she wont question, there was ninja almost everyone, but assassins? That was thrown out the window when the farmhand mentioned information of Konaha. Tatsuki's eye became wide and was as deadly as daggers before she forced them to calm to a narrow stare. When he mentioned his lack of information on the land of wind she didnt hold her breathe as she said, "Not really interested on what happened to them to be honest they arn't the ones who I care about." Tatsuki left it at that as she was not about to recount her entire life story to a random stranger, even if he was supposed to be the sponsor for getting her into being a resident of the village instead of a 'guest'
Tatsuki would wait until the Farmhand took them to the resident housings that he was supposed to lead them to. Taking in the new housing/apartment living Tatsuki would... "Encourage" mister farmhand inside through the front door into whatever living room space was awaiting them inside. Once inside Tatsuki would shove the farmer into a empty seat while Tatsuki pulled up a chair to look at him and said,
"Okay sir... farmhand, before you you look for a quest for us to begin I would like some answers. What the ******** has happened to the world. You said Konoha is behind a wall of ash and mystery, the world has entered an apocalypse, and everybody seems to think, at least in my opinion, that we're going to break apart the moment we hear what happened as soon as to what happened to the world. Despite my age I can handle my s**t... Just, What the ******** happened man what happened to m-... our home" Tatsuki was trying to be mindful on the last part knowing that this man was part of konaha, ninja or not he still deserved the respect of being a brother of fire.
Hakaze would fly most of the way through the walk and would then perch atop the seat tatsuki sat upon. He continued to clean his feathers but stared at the farmer with a air of... uninterest? caution? The eagles eye looked at the man with a certain boring air that cleaning his feathers was more important to Hakaze than the farmer.

__________________The Narrator Narrates...|| tab The entrance before him was rather narrow, little more than a natural rent in the surface of the planet. Narrow though it may be it was also dark, and tall, making travel relatively easy for the thin boy while giving away little of its own secrets. Yet as he traveled further into the dark, dank earth the scent of old bananas wafted up from the distance like the fetid reek of a gassy memory, only sweeter and more deserving of torturous death. It only got worse the further he went making the nearly twenty steps he took feel an eternity until at last he popped free, spitting him out into a cave barely sixty feet across with an old hearth in the center and a large, jagged scar at the back that seemed to absorb the little light that came in from behind him. Every sound Takeda made was taken and resounded back at him in a flurry of echoes might well unnerve the listener. tab As Takeda took in his surroundings there would come a flicker, a glistening barrier of orange that appeared and disappeared in a moment's flash, leaving behind but the memory of a fire in the hearth and an old man kneeling nearly into its depths. Yet with it so clearly gone now it would be hard to say just what he saw. Still, there came a sense of something beyond calling to him, a whisper in the dark, a shiver down the spine and the prickling of fingers across his mind. tab Something, or someone, wanted him there.
_____________________The Narrator Frickles...|| tab Being shoved into a chair was amusing. Being yelled at less so. There was no reason for the sudden swearing and, more importantly, the presumption that he had given her leave to address him in this manner was stupid. The smile that he gave her as he raised a leg to drape over the arm of his chair never met his eyes. Instead, he simply weaved a symbol upon the armchair with a finger with lackadaisical concern, acting quite like he was just tracing something lazily. Magic circles were a new thing, not something of the past, so it was almost impossible either would recognize what he was doing. That said, he let her ramble on, continue her little shpeal of self-importance, before he coolly waited for the other girl, Alasia, to show herself in. The apartment was spartan, with only a simple living room, an attached kitchen, and two bedrooms. A lack of a bathroom wasn't unlikely in a town without working plumbing, after all. tab As the other girl came in he finally spoke, his tone quite jolly without a hint of the annoyance he bore within his heart. "You know, before I ask, I have to ask what's going through your head?" A twist, a turn, and a final switch before the symbol was done. Turning his eyes to meet Tatsuki he continued, holding back his mana for the moment. "Desire for information I get, but being this level of rude to someone who controls your future, now that's ballsy, don't you think?"

Tatsuki looked him over and looked at the way he haphazardly waved his fingers around, maybe a coping mechanism? Then she was caugfht by surprise by the same tone of voice he had always been giving but with a more threatening implication to his words. This caught Hakaze's attention for a moment as well, the eagle stopping his cleaning to really look at the man at this point. With his inquiry about her rude demeanor on how she asked her questions.. to someone.. who was suppose to be her sponsor. Tatsuki gave a rather cursed look. She didn't see as what she was asking, or how she put her words as was rude. She was upset, no one is giving her the information she wants, they're all treating her like a child. Tatsuki however had to be 'polite' it seems in order to not get on this guys bad side. He was there 'sponsor' to get into this village so in less than pleasant terms if he said jump off a cliff she feared she might have to do just that.
Taking her hands and putting it into a pyramid she said, "Understand where im coming from... And before you call me rude, you sir didnt give me your name when i asked you for it when you know mine, quite rude and unfair dont you think?... I have been on the road for three weeks with nothing but my friend Hakaze here to keep me company, the first moment i meet people they treat me like children, evade questions I ask, and then when I say I would be more than willing to join your cause im left to test myself in your hands. So forgive me if I seem less than polite, Sir" Tatsuki looked at Farmhand with intensity before she continued, "NOW.. You have asked for my name, profession, where ive come from, and what has gone through my head. Now please sir... What has happened to our homeland of Konoha village, what has happened to world to make it like this? Hakaze flew over to Tatsuki lap and stared straight at the farmhand
Once she stepped in, the look of surprise can be seen on her face before she changed it back to no emotions. Did that woman lost her mind? The farmer seemed to take delight in this as he asked her a question with another instead of answering them. Her ears slowly was pressed up against the skull as she was annoyed. With both of them. She was being dumb for doing this, they have no idea what he was capable of. The fact that he can be the one controlling their future can be a threat or a bluff.
Her eyes scanned around the area in case she needed to make a quick escape and she would see if she can get this... mouthy woman go with her. If not, not everyone can be saved sadly. There were a few items that she could use as a distraction. Shame that she doesn't have any smoke bombs on her right now. As she hears the woman, she was asking and thinking the same thing Alasia had been, she was just treading carefully because she was in an unknown environment and she wasn't sure what the farm boy was capable of. Being close to him, especially with the bird in defensive, wanting to protect the woman, was not a good idea.

Traversing the narrow passageway wasn't anything new to him. Takeda had plenty of experience in exploring after years of being on his own. It wasn't the most comfortable fit but he made do. The odd assortment of scents made him think for a moment that the hidden location may have been a storage area for one of the merchants. Sealing it off would be a great way to avoid thieves, after all. Ultimately, Takeda found himself in a dark cave without much in it except the hearth in its center. Rather than sitting around and waiting for moderators to hold his hand something to magically happen in the silent cave, the young would-be explorer moved forward to investigate the area. A vision flashed into view after only one or two steps towards the hearth, bringing about a strange phenomenon of knowing more than he saw in the instant he could make out anything. One of his hands moved up to his temple while he closed his eyes, trying to make sense of the new information before continuing. Memories that couldn't be his own surfaced in his mind and made him more cautious of what he was getting himself into. What shook him out of those thoughts was the gentle whisper that made the hairs on the back of his neck stand at attention. Red eyes flashed open just as he activated blindsight, making sure that there wasn't anyone else in the cave with him while the color in his vision vanished into monochrome tones.
Nothing. Noone. The whispers continued from the back of the cave without a soul in sight. A weaker soul would have turned tail and come back with others, but Takeda wasn't intimidated easily. He made his way over to the hearth rather than going to the gash in the wall. Old wood sat dead in the fireplace, left unlit for some time. Deciding to have it see some use again, Takeda drew his red shortsword and lightly struck the kindling to set it all ablaze. Fire leaped out as a result of his actions and he hoped that the wood would burn well enough to illuminate the area. Overall, he figured that it'd be best to recreate the scenario he saw in his memories before going any further.
If nothing occurred as a result of his actions, he'd sheathe his sword and try to find a path past the gash in the wall of the cave.
tab Flames licked at the desiccated wood hungrily a moment before they caught, their length caught in a miniature inferno in near-record time. As the light danced across the inside of the cave Takeda resided within he would likely immediately catch the strange way the shadows moved, for the shadows appeared to be the opposite of where they were meant to be. Across from him, his shadow wiggled and waved, rhythmically shifting the opposite of the fire's tongues. As it did the whispering became quite louder, clearer, and fundamentally more useful as they formed words that could be heard and understood. "The darkness listens, the darkness comes," they whispered, toneless, voiceless, yet distinct all the same. "They listen, they wait, they desire to be free! The memories, the truth, that which has been hidden..." tab As the hushed voices finished, as their whispers echoed within the small chamber there would come a pulse from the center of the room, from the hearth, that rippled the air as it spread rapidly throughout. It pulsed through Takeda and left behind something...else. A figure, distorted, indistinct, pouring over a book at its feet that it flipped through as if somehow underwater. Whispers came from it that sounded familiar to those from before, though this time when it could be heard loudest the indistinct figure would flinch mightily as if attacked. Casting its gaze around a moment before turning back to looking down at the book it began to distort worse as the air around Takeda warped along with it. tab Then it was gone, but now a trail of fire led from the firepit into the split in the wall in the back, and a single word was burned above the entrance in an ark. Or, rather, less a word and more a familiar name: "Takeda..."
Maya walked into the market place with her collar popped up high. Her mind was trying to get a fix on just where she was. Nothing seemed to quite match up. The ship is in absolute ruins. That would take top priority. For that, I will need quite a bit of materials to even begin repairs. The hull is almost ok, but all the internals are completely crippled. At least nobody could steal it right now. I'll probably also have to clean put the hull. Who knows what's moved in there. Man, this isnt great. she thought to herself as she browsed through the marketplace, making note of any loggers and miners in the area, various manners of gathering resources she would need to get her radio working on board. She would need to find a way in to her command deck to do so. Once her radio was working she could potentially arrange for a pickup, or get her ship seaworthy again and limp home. If she could just figure out where she was. The topography was foreign to her as was the climate, the people dressed odd and talked accented. She reckoned she landed in a distant neutral country or something.
_____________________The Narrator Frickles...|| tab Welp, that was unexpected. Face screwing up in absolute bewilderment, the farm boy ceased his finger's movement and stared at Tatsuki in confusion. "My name...was already...given..." was about as much as he could get out from the shock. Did the girl seriously not see recognize that Lord Oragor had said his name? Or that he'd come running in shortly afterwords, thus negating any necessity for him to introduce himself again? It was...well, maybe it was a regional thing that he'd never experienced? tab Also, what was this bullshit about avoiding answers? So far he'd said he'd explain in a minute, or at the very least implied he would, and as far as he knew the girl had only asked him and Oragor for any information. To be fair there was clearly some time that Tatsuki was nowhere near the boy, but the likelihood of anyone ignoring questions was incredibly low. Three months wasn't enough for anyone to forget their past, let alone heal the scars that many bore from the days of the great wars. None were at the stage of having anxiety or mental disorders from those days, and from all the times Oragor had questioned people everyone was used to explaining what they knew. Still, there was always that one, impossible chance... tab That didn't mean Xanion was going to forgive the stupidity of the girl's actions, even as her companion fell silent, knowing better. tab Lightning fast the boy tapped what he'd been drawing and rope ripped from a nearby chair and ensnared the girl, dragging her back into its depths in much the same way she'd slammed Xanion down earlier. Bound in a chair, held tight, he ignored the bird in favor of keeping eyes upon Tatsuki. IF the bird attacked he'd deal with it then, not before. Losing the stupid expression from his face the farm boy rose to his feet and stared down at her for a moment before turning towards the kitchen, moving away and casting a gaze around the building in good cheer. "Now, let me get something straight with you," he began, his tone becoming lighthearted and gay, though not without its fair share of withheld violence within. "I don't need to answer any question you put to me. I could have no memory, personally, and be embarrassed about that fact. I could be suffering from a mental disorder where speaking of the past can send me into dis-associative episodes where I become a danger to myself and others. I could also just not like you and not feel like answering. I get your questions, but don't for a second think you are owed anything from me." Moving behind a wall he opened an icebox where glass bottles of water were held, removing three before returning to the room with that same friendly smile. tab Plunking one down on a table beside Tatsuki and tossing the other to Alasia. "Now, let me ramble on a bit more and I will get to your answer about your home, because I'm not a b*****d, I just don't appreciate being treated like more a tool than a person. Lord Oragor has put you in my hands because we have finite resources. Even if everyone on the planet promised to be helpful, and even proved it, we only have so much. As such we will judge all based on the merits of their actions, judged not by Oragor himself but by those he trusts. I'm one of them. Work with me and I'll work with you." Plopping down into the chair and swinging one leg up onto the left chair arm he smiled, his suddenly indigo eyes staring brightly into the girl's. "I don't like the situation, but I do what I must for the good of this city. Because I was there when Konoha died in fire and stone because of the ineptitude of those who believed they were right because they were strong." The smile slipped, the languid stance stiffened as he stared for a long moment at seemingly nothing before refocusing on Tatsuki. "I couldn't tell you what froze us, what spared us from the fate of so many, other than that anyone over sixteen is dead. Some found a way to avoid that fate, most didn't. But it likely didn't help after the wars ended we had so few to fight the curse as it spread. But if you want to know what came of the sins of your homeland- nay, the sins of mankind and the Shinobi that ruled them you need only look to the horizon to see the smoke from the fires that still burn in the hell that was wrought." tab Intensity, pain, and a seriousness that nearly painted him as inhuman washed over the farm boy's luxurious facade. A moment more, and the ropes would slip from binding Tatsuki, for he was as good as his word.
tab Maya's eyes would search across the many merchant stands available and find herself severely wanting in respect to craftsman. Here people hawked wares of strange plants and ancient technology, findings that were granted leave to spread within the newly formed economy and rigorously controlled whilst negotiating with the native population. As of yet she had avoided the unfortunate experience of meetings the natives spoken of, the Anzu that was near everyone's tongue, though none had mentioned much about their appearance. Perhaps they didn't need to because of their own appearances. What would Maya think of the horned titans that walked among them, with scales that rippled over bared chests, throats and shoulders while horns ripped from their skulls? Would she think anything less of the odd person that walked by with gleaming eyes with rainbow hues? Or would her attention be too caught up with the strange figure that strode by with the head and tail of a crocodile who danced with fire as he entertained children with images of sword wielding fanatics charging a line of beasts that bore no name? tab Truly, she was in an impossible place. tab As she perused a girl with pale green eyes reached toward her from over the stall she ran, a single fruit within her proffered palm. Resembling an apple spotted with blues and pinks it didn't look a bit, coloring wise, safe to eat but she had an entire stand of it, and others were buying them and eating them without reservation. Standing just under four feet in height with a shock of black hair and skin tinted dark from an ancestry surely spent working the fields the girl wore a dress that would have been in place upon a good Aryan girl. In fact it resembled similar styles worn in her country of origin, just made with colors she had no name for. As the girl with the apple waited she smiled brightly, showing twin points of fangs that graced her bottom lips. "You must be newly Woken, I imagine," she mused, her smile becoming a knowing grin. Her accent was strange, as if she bit off her words and somehow also whispered them huskily all at once. "Here. I can't imagine waking in a new world is gonna do you any favors when you're hungry!"

Tatsuki would look at his befweddlement as he said his name was already given, when was this? was she just to keen on the things she wanted that his name slipped past her? It wasn't long before she didn't care as suddenly Xanion's finger completed whatever air doodle he was making in the air before making a solid tap on the chair he was sitting in when the sudden arrival of ropes planted her in the chair in a solid sit up position. Tatsuki looked to Hakaze who was about to take flight before she screamed, "Hakaze no! Not now..." Tatsuki looked to her friend as she knew the first instinct to a 'attack' was for him to attack the jutsu caster. But it was odd to her, she didn't see him perform any hand signs or release any flow of chakra from the start. Was that air doodle really something new form of jutsu she wasn't aware of? As Farm hand got up to go to the kitchen to get them water he started to explain his reasons for not speaking at that moment. From no memory, to personality warp, to basically not liking her at all was the excuses he gave her. Tatsuki mainly looked to him with a cold narrow stare as he returned to the room with three ice cold drinks of water.
Tatsuki's kept her eye on the farm hand as he spoke about the finite resources the town had. The sort of working relationship they'd be having as he presented didn't seem to far off from a jonin and his squad, minus the whole 'trust each other' bit that all teams would need. What caught her attention most and what made her narrow eyes go wide, was the fact that he said he was there when Konoha 'fell'. As he said the word ineptitude in mentioning to konaha Tatsuki's face was riddled with a hate and loathing that seemed to just generate upon itself the more someone thought it over in there minds over and over again.
As soon as he finished his rambling and let her go, the ropes went slack but Tatsuki didn't make a motion to move from the chair at that moment. The first quiet moment she had sense getting here resounded before she got up and looked at him, Hakaze who was now perched on the chair behind her stared at the farm hands eyes like they were mice to be plucked.
It was only after a moment had passed before Tatsuki said, "...There are so many curses I want to say right now for you smearing the name of the village who took me in and raised me not as a tool but as a human being... But I need to set that aside for now and ask what EXACTLY happened to Konoha. I dont care how we ended up in crystals or some dumb age restriction that helped us survive. Stop with the hints, stop with the analogies, Tell me straight What, the ********, happened to The Hidden Leaf Village... I'm not going to ask why you seem to hate it so much, that's your, very wrong, opinion. I want to know what happened before I go gallivanting and making stupid mistakes like not taking that air doodle of your's as a serious jutsu!" Tatsuki would stop it right there as she knew this was a guy was meant to be someone judging her, and she knew she wasnt making the greatest impression with demands and interrogations. But her insistence was born more so out of frustration over anything else.
She looked at The farm hand more sternly and she could also see the intensity he was given off at this point, "I will help this village, that is how the hidden leaf has always believed.

_____________________The Narrator Frickles...|| tab The farmboy laughed halfway through Tatsuki's tirade, the mirth never quite reaching his eyes. It was clear that he was holding back something, a word or deed that was likely to leave lasting harm yet repressed for some purpose unclear. When she got to the part about being wrong about the village his voice cut out like a hot knife through butter. "For an assassin, you don't know when to shut your face, do you," he began, his tone matching his eyes. "You know nothing outside of your little bubble and assume everything else. I've given you your answer, look outside the gods be damned window. I've given you hints about the past I share and you cast it aside as nothing. Here's my response then." With this, he stood up and pulled his shirt taut across his chest, gaining a more regal and dangerous air than the lackadaisical one he'd had before. Strict, military, that's the impression he gave.

Teamwork, usefulness, you must embody these before you'll learn another thing from me." tab Turning his back to them he gestured toward the door with a grim expression. "Now you need to leave. I did not assign this room to you, you stole it from another. This property belongs to someone else. Once I am out that door you will be considered armed robbers, so better get a move on. You have until I count to ten." tab From there he closed his eyes, senses aware, and began to count aloud. tab tab
