That was certainly an experience I'd rather... forget, Suzaku thought to himself as he checked his D-Reader to make sure he had sufficient supplies. He was in the room of an inn in the small town he and Ryuudamon had happened upon, and was trying to not think about the... so called "virus" had had become afflicted with over the past week.
"So, um," Ryuudamon began uncertainly. "What are we gonna do next... Zero?"
There was a second's hesitation before he responded, but not one most people would normally pick up on. Being called that name was still very much foreign, but... so far as he had to be concerned, Kururugi Suzaku was dead.
He frowned and stood up, taking the helmet of Zero off the table of his room. He held it up and looked down at the dragon. "We move under cover of darkness," he replied, placing the helmet over his head. "From what we've gathered," came his voice through the helmet's voice modulation, "'Tamers' aren't looked well upon across the territory we need to pass through in order to reach the light post."
"...so we're going to leave here?" Ryuudamon asked... almost hopefully.
Beneath the helmet, Suzaku frowned. This country had been torn apart by civil war, and had only just recently begun to rebuild. Still, it seemed disconnected from the rest of the world, in a way...
...sighing a bit, he swept his cloak around him and began to move. "Yes. I haven't yet figured out what I need to be doing in this world, but... I haven't found it here, yet."
Of course - Suzaku realized as they began to depart the inn minutes later - Kallen was in this country somewhere, too. But, he ALSO knew, as 'Zero' stepped out into the town's streets, surely he wasn't likely to, just...
Randomly run into her or anything.
