Hikori felt his body bounce from the back of the carriage as the wheels bounced over the uneven ground. Iida was asleep; laying along one of the chairs, head in Zen's lap. Kirishima was curled up on the floor while Irei was leaning against Hikori's shoulder and Tori was lying on the other chair.

Another ruff patch of path and Hikori was forced awake. Trying not to wake his sleeping boyfriend, Hikori tried to stretch out his cramped limbs. Carefully removing himself from the chair, Hikori climbed into the carriage driver seat next to Shiro.

"Have a nice rest?" Shiro asked, gaze unmoving from the path ahead.

"It was a bit uncomfortable but it was alright." Hikori cracked his knuckles, causing Shiro to flinch and cringe. "Sorry...! My bad..."

"It's alright. I just find it a really uncomfortable sound."

"Fair enough...!"

The duo sat in silence for a while.

"Where are we going?" Hikori asked after a while.

"There's another small town further up ahead." Shiro replied. "I need to get the horse's hooves checked in that town. We can also grab supplies and try and disguise yourselves from the enemy."

"Alright... But I'd prefer to not have disguises."

"Why not?"

"Reasons..."

"Like?"

"I want to respect myself and stand proud for who I am... I'm not going to change my clothes for going on the run for something I didn't do..."

"Alright then. We'll be at the town in 10 minutes or so, alright?"

"Alright..."

10 minutes later, the carriage pulled into the new town. The halting of the carriage caused the others to wake up from their slumbers. Once they settled to a stop, the group jumped out, only for Kirishima to fall into her ass from wobbly, jelly legs. Hikori had to try and contain his laugh that wanted to escape as Irei leant against his shoulder.

"Don't you dare fucking laugh...!" Kirishima threatened through gritted teeth as she stood up and dusted herself off.

Once they started to walk the town, they were immediately overwhelmed by the amount of different people in the area while Tori was leading them all somewhere. Hikori looked around; he saw a hunter with brown wolf ears and tail with another, shorter, grey wolf at a meat stand.

Further in was a fire breather with black hair; fringe pinned back. Surrounding the fire breather, in amongst the crowd of towns people was an Inquisitor with blue hair. Once the black haired male finished his act, he wandered over to the Inquisitor and placed a kiss on his cheek before resetting for another round of his act.

A little ways was a figure with tanned skin and lighter splotches in hunting like gear but had a quiver of arrows on his back. A crowd was standing away enough to watch but not get injured. Hikori stopped and watched as the figure knocked an arrow and fired; hitting the target right in the centre before another arrow pierced through the already stilled arrow.

"Come on Sparky or we're leaving your sorry ass!" Kirishima barked and Hikori ran over to catch up.

As they continued to walk to their destination, Hikori noticed two female sorceress showing off their skills to each other as they laughed and excited a tavern. Tori lead them all inside.

They entered and sat at the bar front. Hikori noticed that Zen was on edge and it caused the hairs on the back of Hikori's neck to stand up at watching the agitated knight.
