Night 60: Recreational Field

[fuukaenbujin]

[from here]To be honest, it was colder than he had expected. It very well hadn't been the middle of winter in Makai, so Kurama cited that as the reason why he would be so unaccustomed to the sudden climate change now

Riku didn't like the cold much, either, but he ignored his breath on the air. There were enough nights out here like this that he was getting used to it. For him, even if there was a chill that ran over his skin, it wasn't any different from being somewhere he didn't want to be; rain, sand, sun, whatever-it wasn't the conditions that mattered to him by now so much as the fact that it was distinctly not home. By now, his mind had been well-trained into dealing with any conditions to the contrary of that. He didn't like it, especially as he was sure it was one of the things his friends noticed.

He was changed. It was a considerable factor in everything he did. But it helped him move confidently just ahead of his partner for the evening.

"Don't expect too much from what you're gonna get," Riku added as they got closer. He meant the weapons, but he didn't clarify further. There didn't seem to be a need in his mind.

He remained silent as he got closer, and when he did, he took his flashlight and started whacking the lock. Riku let out a soft grunt as he did this, but thankfully, the lock gave soon enough-and the shed itself gave a harsh sound, as if it was admitting its defeat. Riku looked irritated, only momentarily, and craned his head as if to motion for Loki to follow him in.
