"Your sense of direction is shrewd,"

"S-Sorry, you seemed to be leading us nowhere so I thought that maybe nor-"

"That's the idea. Chaos doesn't have an absolute direction. Or does it? Anyway, don't act like a lost doe, it doesn't suit you, Fox."

"Uh.. I'm sorry."

The endless chatter sounded like this throughout entire journey, from what I can recall. Akki Shadou paved the way alongside Sora, and they walked together without halting. Sora occasionally treaded forward, which analytically began the controversy. It was unnecessary speech, halting the trip. The emotion sensed between the two was irritation, yet the 'Fox' had an increase in her pulse. Research into this will be conducted, for it was a small occurrence that I did not understand yet.

Unlike the two who lead, I was definite in my actions, sauntering forward at an easy pace. Tomoe trudged on, approximately 50 inches behind the group at all times. The group. A foreign term, in my eyes. It can't be helped, solitude is a friend of mine.

His expression conveyed a monotonous mood. I would have to do something about it, I had sworn myself to helping him on this quest. Unhappiness can have long term affects such as dysthymia and severe trauma if something were to become an issue for too long. This negative emotion will be terminated for the safety of one of the comrades of mine. The feeling of unfamiliarity returns to me with this thought. I decided to wait until Shadou stopped to rest for the eve, and statistics show that there is a varying chance of him doing so.

When we had left the castle, after Sora had an adequate outfit, a simplistic dress which would have been common forty years ago, we left abruptly, barely missing an estimated amount of 10 common soldiers. I could have handled them, but at the time, I had believed it would be essential for our group to remain anonymous for as long as possible, to guarantee a high rate of success on this task. 

The soldiers were humans, though they were armed with potentially lethal weapons, they would not have posed any threat to me. This would not be equal to Tomoe & Sora's survival rate. Certainly, the demon could dodge a bullet or two.

After we had left, I began to study Miss Kitsune. The media had no information on her, other then how scandalous people thought of the fact that she could be crowned as queen. Most records seemed to be forged, but the scale of time I had spent with her allowed me to collect data.

Sora Kitsune - VALID PROOF ON NAME N/A

Alias: Fox (Might be a joke, uncertain for now.)

Age: 15

Personality: Patient, Faithful(?), Shy, Untrusting (towards others), etc

Status: Nervous

Species: Presumably human, blood test needed

Temperament: Phlegmatic

My information on the three were unofficial: Shadou seemed both sanguine and choleric yet he remains an enigma to me, Sora's profile was equally as controversial with classification issues, and Tomoe's charisma inspires suspicion. Knowing my allies is of great importance, the records would allow me to be conscious of how to respond to them in various situations. For example, an ally can become a target in a nanosecond.

Concluding my scrutiny on Sora, her appearance wasn't of much concern to me but there are noteworthy aspects. She could strike one as unbearably outlandish, according to what the recent archives state on her. Pale lavender hair and evidently false auburn eyes added up to a purely apprehensive assumptions on her. Even I, a never-opinionated, dispassionate android could comprehend that.
