Okita was no stranger to the cold, either, though after the relative warmth of Death City, it was still something of a shock, even with the extra layer of Western-style clothing he'd had the foresight to add beneath his more traditional uniform.

He nodded at his partner's question. "Yes."

He didn't know the pair they had teamed up with, but Takasugi did, and that was good enough for him. He knew he could trust his partner's judgement.

Sasuke drew up with all the look of someone who had spent most of his life in such a cold climate. Which was strange, considering his outfit- it was the one he'd brought from home. The open shirt and the cut offs, maximizing movement. While he did have something on underneath, insulated and long sleeved, it certainly didn't look weather-appropriate. Either way, the only shiver Sasuke had given was when they'd first stepped through the mirror, and since then he'd appeared perfectly fit

While it wasn't his first experience with such a climate, and he'd known worse conditions to run a mission in, the Alps still weren't hospitable. By any stretch of the imagination. One gloved hand lifted, and he tugged at the wrap around his shoulders, readjusting it the collar.

This mission, his partner, and the other team- they were all things that had fallen into his lap really. Despite his tendency to jump right into things, and the knowledge that he and Sasuke had resonated beforehand- something remained unsettled in his stomach. The same something he resolutely put out of his mind when he stepped forward, offering a nod to boy at the head of their group. The madness wavelength was something they'd deal with when they had to. Until then, this was a mission like any other. "Bring it on'ttebayo."

That was all Takasugi needed to hear. The boy smiled, then gazed off towards the road leading out of the village and up into the mountains. He started walking, knowing they'd follow. He would, however, fall in step beside Okita at the soonest opportunity.

"I figure we can follow the road up until we reach the area marked out for us on the map, and then break off to track the monster down. Do you guys have experience with following trails?"
