"So that's how it is."

Heat glowered with his back to Serph, arms crossed obstinately over his chest.

He was tense, peeved. His Leader didn't tell him what he wanted to hear at all, but he couldn't say it was too much of a shocker,

Serph sat on the steps leading up to the church and regarded his comrade with a slow nod, acknowledging Heat's words. He was silent for a moment, clasping his hands together before looking over to the redhead.

"I'm not sure."

[fevoreish]

"We're gonna have to deal with it, Serph. Find out one way or another."

Heat paced a few steps forward, crushing a poor idle flower under his boot. Flower. Now that was something he recognized, but couldn't explain how he remembered an object he'd never seen before. Must be related to that whole 'you're a dead man' thing he still didn't understand.

Tch. Whatever. Didn't matter anymore.

"What the hell do we do now?" demanded Heat, almost a rhetorical question. "I haven't seen anyone around."

There's a tired teenager headed their way, with some flimsy-looking practice sword over his shoulder. It looks like he might pass within talking distance of them soon, and he's eyeing them curiously (if a little warily) while he walks.

(ooc: Question: Serph says he's sitting on some church steps. Are these two characters in front of Peorth's church?)

[[OOC: Yeah they're likely in front of Peorth's church]]

Serph tilted his head up. He sensed something nearby; someone approaching. He went rigid and glanced around out the corners of his eyes. He brought a hand up, silencing Heat before the redheaded Embryon could speak and quickly gestured with his hand; index finger up for a second before he gestured towards his ear and motioning to the ground.

[fevoreish]

Heat's eyes narrowed. He caught and understood Serph's signal immediately, dropping to the ground and whipping around to see what his Leader had noticed. He growled and carefully reached for his big-ass grenade launcher, lying in wait for whoever-it-was to appear.

At least his weapon made it through his journey intact.

They don't have to wait long. Soon enough Danny's gotten comparitively close to them. He's still a few dozen feet away, and he's slowed his walk to nearly a halt by now while eyeing them uncertianly.

The kid's finally gotten a better view of the men between him and his destination, and it's clear that he's toying with the idea of simply turning around and walking back the way he came. After all, he hasn't yet met anyone in Somarium who could be seriously dangerous to him; now he's getting a very bad feeling that if he sticks around, he just might.

[Serph totes hears u guise]

[Gestures to Heat; middle and index fingers up, points to his ear, points his palm towards the ground and takes hold of his revolver.]

[fevoreish]

*Heat nods an affirmative, his grenade launcher out in a flash. He takes cover by a tree and waits for Serph's signal.*

Frederic was walking back to his cottage nearby, looking very disconnected, like he's deep in thought about something. Again he was thinking of the new piece he was composing, inspired by his experiences in Somarium so far.

As he passed the church, he noticed the men standing there, but decided not to say anything. They seemed to be quite agitated, and he felt that it wouldn't be his place to try to inquire about it.

[fevoreish]

This time, Heat held up a hand to stop Serph. He stiffened and stilled, tilting his head back, cocking his head.

Tch.

"Someone else is coming," he said, hand hovering toward his grenade launcher. "Dammit, there's more here than I thought."

More to devour, too.

[cannibalcrown]

Serph readied his revolver and nodded to his companion. He was right; there were quite a few passer-bys. Perhaps this one would provide a little information though...

[poet_of_piano]

This got his attention. Despite being from the past, he knew the general look of a gun. Frederic stopped walking immediately, a surge of dread running through him. He hadn't met anyone truly hostile in Somarium yet, and he had hoped that he never would.

He started to back away, putting a hand on the hilt of his baton, getting ready to either defend himself, or run. He wanted to avoid fighting at all costs though, and prayed that they would leave him alone.

*Worried about Peorth, Kakashi had arrived as quickly as he could after what had been pretty much an SOS message broadcast through the network. He landed on top of the roof of the church, his posture seemingly relaxed as he directs his gaze down at the two men he could only surmise were the "demonic sociopaths."

...there was something very strange about their chakra signatures.*

[cannibalcrown]

*Serph has returned to being seated on the steps of the church, watching Heat pace around in front of him. He hasn't seemed to notice the newcomer on the roof high above.*

[fevoreish]

*Pacing in front of the church steps on the soft, grassy ground, possibly muttering about fights and enemies. He's keeping an eye and ear out for a whole damn army, at this point, but he definitely hasn't noticed Kakashi yet.*

[ura_no_ura]

*Does not engage, and just observes for now.*
