Marcello, if you don't mind, if you plan to attack Knight 5, perhaps moving to J18, so that Luka can dance for you and Ecquis, while still being relatively safe. I trust you, if you feel a different plan might be better.

Wha- What the heck are these things?! A sense of fear washed over Luka as he saw the Monsters before him. These things, they can’t be human. They’re... I don't even know. Luka gave himself a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions. Just need to keep doing what I do best. Shaking the fear out of his head, Luka ran towards his allies east of him, taking a safe position behind his allies, calling to Saffron's friends along the way. "Feri, try attacking any knights that get close. Dash, stay close and throw your knives at any Myrmidons that try to attack. Just be careful you both." Taking a deep breath, Luka tried to hide beside his allies. Times like this, I should appreciate father never taught me the sword. Move to G20 and holds

Hyappy birthday, Pocky. I'm sure you know that you and I are friends, super close friends I'd hope. Hope you enjoy your day, friend, and let's hope this year is a good one.

I guess I'll edit my post with Karol in a bit.

My sheet for my character.

"I can sear you were enjoying yourself, so apologies for bringing you away from that." Luka let some mocking inner thoughts come out by accident. Heat certainly had a way making those come out of him. "But we should probably ask about all the other houses." You know, probably not a bad idea to see if we can get something for a bit of nice help. Luka's eyes went around the village of burning houses. "Might I ask what brought your ire to them?"

Klaren, we found a new friend for you. Luka watched Ecquis and Klaren rush off to save the girl who certainly seemed to be enjoying some nice hot fire. Standing a decent distance from anything that could burn him, Luka spoke to the girl inside. “We’re merely a bunch of travelers, Miss.” Luka didn’t feel like telling the truth, so he gave what was close enough. “But we can’t stray when there’s someone in danger.” Maybe you can give us gold bars, unlike Princess over there. “The name’s Luka. I’d ask yours, but you probably won’t need one soon if you stay in here long.” Luka reached for one of Serene's arms, hoping to try to pull her out of the room.

Why does this feel oddly fitting?

Karol, Team Hotel Room “You’d think this place would have some security against people that can pass through walls.” Karol said to herself. “Probably not something common, but surely Angels are good enough at magic to make some seals for that or something.” Karol was seated in an armchair, having kept silent while the ‘adults’ were discussing their next move. All that was left in the room was her, and the fancy television. She could turn it on to look for something entertaining, but she was never a fan of movies. Television was never good these days, anyways. Tired of sitting around in the room, Karol picked up her bag with a Sniper Rifle inside and walked off. “Bargus doesn’t need two Sniper Rifles backing him up, so I might as well go people watching.” Karol put her hand to the blue panel, and locked the door behind her. ----- Karol made her way out of the hotel, straying into the streets. While she didn’t plan to, she was maybe hoping to run into one of the others in her group. Returning to where she had seen Misara earlier, Karol roamed the streets in hopes of finding the Cambion.

"Well, sandcastles certainly sound fun to make." Though, doesn't that require water? "But, I can't imagine many people would appreciate you pushing them into sand pits." Luka didn't like the image of one of the heavily-armored units falling into deep sand pits. That's not a good thing to think about. "We probably won't have much time to ourselves, sadly. Our time will probably end up being spent talking to officials and leaving immediately." Trying not to be a downer for the joyful Monk, Luka put a smile on his face. "But if we have time, I'm willing to join you to try to find something fun to do." Just don't use our drinking water to make sand castles or you won't be feeling pain ever again.

"Well, that headband certainly looks like it'll do its job." Though, why are you still wearing that scarf? Luka pulled on Klaren's headband, not realizing how much he had pulled it back before letting go. Luka hoped he didn't hurt the Monk's forehead. "Ah, sorry." At least he'd enjoy the pain, anyway. "You certainly seem excited." Though, that's probably normal. "Are there people in Caelum you're hoping to see?"

"Um, I don't think so." Oh gosh, why did I space out? I need to have a word with whoever pointed him my way. "I was, uh..." Luka's eyes darted towards Rosalyva and Meredith, sharing a handshake. "I was marveling at the birth of a slowly blossoming friendship." Totally paying attention! "Heh, isn't it great?" "Oh, and I'll vote for Caelum, as well." Better hope these Dancer clothes aren't too heavy.

Luka wasn't exactly paying attention during the tactical debate. He was never someone to care for tactics, trusting his allies better than any judgment he had. Dancers don't exactly have the best tactical training. Luka's time was spent pretending to pay attention, though he was more lost in thought, wondering what Caelum or Yukihana was like. The Dancer nearly jumped off of his riding horse when he heard the voice of the Monk. "Oh, Klaren." Who sent him my way, exactly? I was busy... pretending to be paying attention. "Did you need something?"

Hey man, the guy got terrible level ups.

"That's all you're gonna tell me, huh?" Luka sat himself back down by a tree. "I hope you know that I kind of doubt that's your only reason." Luka let out a sigh, knowing he wasn't going to get an answer any time soon. I screwed up again. "Sorry for snapping at you. Again." Now I remember why I tried to stop doing that. Luka stood up, walking away to stop bothering Hoshiko. "See ya on the battlefield."

"And why's that?" Luka returned a glare as Hoshiko took back her arrows. "You're here fighting with us. You had a reason to work with us." Luka felt his emotions calm down as he continued speaking to Hoshiko. "Mind if I ask what it is? Not just why you're fighting with us, but why you're fighting at all."

"That was one time, and it's not happening again!" Luka jumped up to his feet, his inner thoughts escaping him as he spoke to Hoshiko. "And sorry if a hero isn't allowed to be thankful that a nice guy such as I doesn't like seeing people alone."

Karol "Let's get going." "I'll follow you." Karol ran over to grab the bag she had thrown away. Maybe I should try not throwing these out when I need to take out my gun. Karol's eyes continued glaring at Haze, despite the trust Bargus seemed to have in him. --- "Looks like we have a meeting place for tonight." Karol spoke to Bargus as he checked into a room at the hotel. "Wanna go try finding the rest of the team?"

"You just walked off on your own with an uncomfortable look to yourself. I was worried about you." Well, more so that I might have done something bad, but me worrying about you sounds better. Luka sat himself down by one of the trees as he watched Hoshiko take her arrows back. Wouldn't kill ya to say 'Thank you', maybe?

"Oh, alright." Luka turned away, facing the trees where Hoshiko ran off to. "Thank you." A smile appeared on Luka's face, glad to be able to get rid of any bothersome emotions. Luka dashed away, hoping he could see what was bothering Hoshiko. "Hoshiko!" Can you not be a loner for a bit and talk to me? "Why'd you run off like that?"

Luka tried not to let out an annoyed groan. I get it, don't shoot myself by accident. "I'll make sure this doesn't happen again." Pulling his sleeve back, Luka saw the small white scar. Luka made a guess for why the wound wasn't fully healed. "I guess I do deserve that." Man, this was my favorite shirt, though. "I'll be more careful." Starting with never picking up a bow ever again. Looking towards the nearby trees, Luka saw Hoshiko walking away. I... didn't do that, right? Luka shook his head, trying not to think too much of it. I'm sure she'll be fine. I doubt Mayanna will let me go to check...

Gosh dang it, that hurts! Luka yelled internally as Mayanna pulled the arrow out of his shoulder. "Oh, we were doing some Bow training." Can I blame Hoshiko? Probably not the best for friendships. "I honestly don't know what happened. I was shooting an arrow at a tree, then in the next moment, I got an arrow in my shoulder." "Don't blame Hoshiko." Luka looked at Ecquis, trying not to sound rough. I'm not allowed to, so you're not either. "She was kind enough to try to teach me to use a bow safely." Luka stood up, the pain from the arrow going away slowly. "I was careless. The Bow isn't for me, I think." Luka gave himself a deep breath, his hand clutching his shoulder. "I think I'll stick to dancing for now." I'm the best at that, at least. Giving a smile to Hoshiko, Luka spoke to her. "Sorry to bother you, maybe I'll try a sword, instead." Now, you wouldn't happen to know how to use those, do you?
