Warnings: Slight spoilers for +Anima? Mild violence.
Dream Effects: None.
It's a peaceful scene.
Senri and a rather effeminate
boy are sitting in the forest around a campfire, despite it still being bright out. A rod lies within arm's reach of the boy, while in front of Senri are an assortment of plants. He's munching on one, as the boy stares at the flames.
"Sweet..." Senri comments, before handing one over to the boy. "Husky... this is good..."
"Ah..." Husky says, lifting his head. "Nah... I'm okay."
There's a beat, before the boy's calm demeanour breaks--and he snaps.
"Where the hell are Cooro and Nana!?" he shouts, much to Senri's bewilderment. "Hurry up and come back!"
--And then, almost immediately, Senri senses something. His eyes widen, as he looks behind him. He's dimly aware of Husky calling his name, but there's no time to react. At least, not to Husky--but there's just enough time for Senri to lean back slightly, barely dodging the arrows that fly by.
"Arrows!?" Husky grabs his rod, right before Senri pushes him out of the way of more arrows. More continue to fly towards them.
"Run!" Husky yells, and so they do, with Husky lagging behind. It doesn't matter, either way. More men with bows and arrows and on horses approach from in front of them, and thus Senri is forced to stop in a clearing, as Husky catches up.
"Damn it!"
Again, Senri doesn't respond to the boy's exclamation--he's too focused on one man preparing to fire. In a matter of seconds, Senri's right sleeve disappears, revealing his
+Anima mark before fur covers his arm and claws extend from his fingers. He snaps the arrow in half before it reaches them.
Unfortunately, he has no time to avoid the next one, fired from behind him. It strikes him in the shoulder, invoking a flinch from him.
"Senri!"
He's not down yet, though. As Husky moves into a fighting stance, Senri stands up straight. He doesn't know what's going on, but his instincts are telling him all he needs to know.
He's being threatened.
His friend is being threatened.
He holds his clawed arm out in front of him, ready to fight.

[When Senri wakes up, it doesn't take him long to notice that his shoulder hurts. And is bleeding.
He is very confused.
... Help? D:]
