Heron Lake Plateau Aftermath

Higoro felt his heartrate rise as Minori closed the distance, loving that feeling of being needed. It was hard to admit but he was lonely, his heart still very much yearned for Minori to take it back. Although both his heart and mind knew it was not possible, she had made up her mind long ago and moved on. She was in the present while he was stuck in the past, and that was the hardest thing for him to let go. Her words did not go unheard through it all, and he tried his best to comfort her. But then Minori pulled away and embraced Takara, giving her kisses and a helluva lot more affection than he got. Higoro got jealous real quick, a little angry too. He remembered that conversation Minori and him had about Takara. Minori was in love, yadda yadda, how could he be mad at that? The anger ebbed but the jealousy did not. He looked to Minori with a 'I know what you're doing' look. There was of course high levels of sass in the look alone but that was to be expected.

While Minori laid out the plan for the others, Higoro waited patiently to receive his orders, being last to do so. Once he did he was honor bound, no matter what he was going to find that kid, alive or otherwise. A part of Higoro hoped it to be otherwise but that was the morbidity within him. "I'll leave at once if we're done here," He stood tall, and had his feet at the ready to turn bsck to the keep.
