Heron Lake Plateau Lets get down to business

the young warrior could never let things go. he certainly wouldn’t forget the fight a few days prior. it bothered him more than he’d like to admit. how could anyone beat him up so easily? orochi was the greatest fighter this world has ever seen. yes, of course. maybe he wasn’t in the right headspace that day, otherwise he could’ve taken his attacker down in an instant. right? 

yes, keep telling yourself that. 

orochi wasn’t in a great mood (and honestly, when is he?) so one could guess he wasn’t pleased to hear minori’s demanding call. goodness, he had done what she asked for. he guarded takara from danger and he did it damn well. what more could she want? the boy growled and dragged himself towards the sound.

what do you want? he grumbled as soon as he approached her.
