Child:*face lights up* Kairi. Thank you!

Azure: It's nice to meet you, Kairi.

Yugi: */grins/* Pleased to meet you, Kairi. Thank you again for helping us and getting all this started. That was really brave.

Kairi: *blushes, shy.* I...I wanted to get away, but I knew I'd not make it alone. You were my only hope...I...I /had/ to try.

Yugi: *nods* Even still. *hesitates, then frowns a little, looking to Azure* Think we should find someplace to wait for Ralin and the general?

Azure: ....no....they'll catch up. *won't look at him.*

Yugi: ………..Azure? *worried*

Azure: *gives him a little smile.* Everything is all right.

Yugi: …………………………. *gazes back over his shoulder* This is because of the vortex spell, isn’t it? */grips/ the straps of the backpack – knows the general knows now…* He won’t hurt Ralin, will he?

Azure: ............if you want to know what's done, you'll have to ask Ralin. *softly touches Yugi's shoulder* Ralin will be okay.

Yugi: ………… *nods, still going to worry, though, as they continue on their way*

*It'll be about an hour before they spot the general and Ralin approaching.*
