Moving as fast as his legs would allow, Akihiko fought his way through the wind. Through a brief lull in the storm's wake, he'd set out from the courthouse and made his way towards the residential district. He'd run from the monorail station to school before -- heck, even racing through and exploring the floors of Tartarus was a work out in itself. This rescue would be a snap.

...Right?

In the times he had explored the city, he never remembered this district being so far. Perhaps it was the wind pushing against him, or the sand kicking up into his eyes but something was making this task seem far more daunting than he'd anticipated. Was he starting to regret it? Not in the least. Atoli needed his help. He would not let her down.

Throwing himself against the door of the building, he pushes the door open and moves inside to escape the elements.

"Atoli? A--" he pauses, wiping the sand out of his face. "Atoli, I'm here."

She jumped slightly at Akihiko's call, snapping out of her worried state. He really did come ...

Despite the evenly spread sand on him, he didn't looked to be hurt anywhere Good. That was definitely good. Exhaling deeply, she beamed.

"I'm so glade to see you're okay, Akihiko-san!"

"Where's your friend? The winds are getting pretty fierce out there... I doubt we don't have much time."

"Yes, you're right," a brief nod, "He's over this way, Akihiko-san."

Atoli gestured him to follow her before turning around to the corner. Stepping around the pile of sad gathered in the hallway, she entered the empty windowless room - a storage room perhaps - heaped with furniture no one used. And on a makeshift bed made of multiple blanket, Haseo slept silently away. She frowned a little, his condition hadn't changed and no sign of waking up. What a bad timing, Haseo-san ...

Walking to where her leader slept away, the Harvest Cleric looked over to Akihiko in the doorway. "Well, he's the friend I was talking about. As you can see, he's snoozing away ... Ha ha ..."
