Silverlight Terrace run, boy, run.

cameo post for now might post again later

To say that the screams on the wind went unnoticed would be an understatement, even with the distance in the cries. Kali was no stranger to violence, though unlike Akai, it went ignored like the static of a radio or chatter in a coffee shop. It was just another noise to fill the silence. The only difference between today and any other day was Akai's need to intervene. The scarred male seemed alert for a while before ordering that she and his adopted daughter stay put.

As if that would ever actually stop her though.

Akai didn't even look back as he gave the command, swiftly disappearing into the forest to play hero, or so she assumed at least. Kali gave a glance to @Minah, the pale girl that she had seen traveling with Akai before she formally joined their little family band, and raised a brow as if she were asking if she actually planned on staying. Kali hadn't had the chance to actually get to know the other girl yet, though it wasn't exactly a goal of hers. So long as she stayed out of her way and wouldn't try to rat her out later she would be fine in her book for now.

Without a word, she stood and slipped away as well, hot on the tracks of Akai, though she kept enough of a distance that hopefully, he wouldn't notice her steps as he had during the storm. Once the yells turned from a low hum to thundering cries and the metallic scent of blood hung in the air, Kali broke off of Akai's trail, seeking the shelter of nearby undergrowth where she could find a spot to spy close enough to still hear the rather loud conversation.
