Jon remained beside the bed watching the girl, "I guess this means that you have no clue what's wrong this time either." He was hoping that it would be something simple that would go away with rest, though he wasn't all that certain it would be. It just seemed like everything about Mori's fragile body was complicated because of that part of her that was demon. Already though it seemed that she was more human than most of the people that Jon knew.

Hakuma's hopes were to find someone that would hopefully assist them. He assumed that those people who might be in the living quarters weren't in any physical ailments and would be the best bet for optimum fighting. Oblivious to the three that were already in the living quarters.
Upon entering he saw a woman sitting herself in a chair, Anlu. She seemed to be good, so Hakuma approached her.
"Excuse me, ma'am, are you the only one whose here?" Hakuma asked her to see if he could ask anyone else for assistance.

"I've never felt like this before," she confessed. "I do feel tired though. Perhaps if I sleep for a little while...?" The last ended up sounding like a question. Mori didn't know the answers herself this time. For all her great powers, the half-demon was in many aspects one of the weakest people here, and she knew it.

Jon stroked her head softly and nodded, "It is probably just a side effect of that deep sleep you put yourself into. Stuff like that rarely has no effect on the body." He smiled slightly, "I don't imagine that we have too much to worry about if you just rest." At least that was what he hoped, he knew that this time they couldn't call on Oberron to help, especially if that letter was what he thought it might be. The captain might be able to help but there was no telling when and if she would ever appear.

"Alright..." she murmured sleepily. His gentle strokes were comforting, helping her already exhausted mind and body slip into a normal sleep. Suspicions about the letter from her half-brother lingered in the back of her mind, but waited for the time being. Her body needed to recover from almost dying before it dealt with that problem. As it was now, she wouldn't withstand a flash of her temper.

Jon stayed beside her as she slept with a resolve to be there if she needed him he moved the chair to where he could safely lean back and then went back to stroking the girl gently. His eyes started to become heavy and despite his best efforts to fight off sleep he slowly dozed off into a light sleep thanks to his caution.

Anlu was staring at the wall opposite of her when she heard footsteps but didn't bother to look until she heard the voice. Being the only on in the main room, she knew he was talking to her. So she quietly answered. "There are two others that I know of upstairs... but one is weary and the other would rather not be disturbed... as he is taking care of her... Is there anything you need?" She doubted she would be much of a help, but that never stopped her from trying.

Judging by the way the woman described the two, it would have had to have been Jon and Mori. So Hakuma figured out there were these three here, they would do very nicely if he wished to ask them for this favor.
"Well, yes, there is something I need that could use all of your guys' help." Hakuma paused to sit down on a nearby chair adjacent to Anlu.
"I wish I could explain this a little more.... subtly, but it's an emergency..." Hakuma paused again, beginning to realize that he doesn't even know who he's talking to.
"I'm sorry, can I get your name before I begin? I think it would be really odd to ask for such a big favor from a stranger...." Hakuma asked her.

Yukio entered the Living Quarters, having been dropped just outside when he'd switched places with the captain. Entering the room, he took note to the two speaking, and leaned against the wall beside the door as they spoke. The Glutton he'd just fought had been rather boring, and this man seemed in need of help. Yukio hadn't meant to eavesdrop, but stepped forward to stand beside the woman that had spoken. "I'll help..." he replies, his naturally stern expression settling onto his features. This, of course, wouldn't last too long of course.

An emergency? I see... Her thoughts wandered vaugly, wondering what an emergency for people like these would be? It couldn't possibly be as simple as what a commoner whould think... so she would assume it was a bigger deal than she could imagine. When she was asked of her name, she hesitated slightly. This allowed another to step forwartd and offer their services. Glancing at the newcommer, who was simply just a blurred figure against the blurred wall to her eye, she turned back the the man speaking to her and answered. "My name is Anlu... "

Hakuma nodded to the man he had met before in approval.
"Well then, Anlu. Let me explain: To make a small story short, my monk's dojo was ransacked by the predators of the wild, and I'm the only survivor who could escape... I jut inspected the Dojo and there are about a good five dozen wild and dangerous animals there who claimed it as their own and I need help to claim it back. I know I can't do it all by myself." He said expecting no pity in what he considers only a 'minor' loss on his part.
"So I assumed that people who hanged around here were simply bored, so there would be no physical ailments to cripple their fighting. A best place to start asking for this kind of help."Hakuma explained his reasons for being here, specifically"

Anlu nodded in understanding. "Alright... um... what kind of animals are they? Are thye big targets, fast, strong? I mean... I'm up for helping but... just a fair warning... I have really bad aim..." She scratched the back of her head laughing a bit hesitantly. She didn't want to go into details about being blind... and didn't want anyone to think she was useless because of it.

Hakuma tried to remember all of the animals he could see that were there.
"Well, it's like a jack of all traits. Some big, some fast, some both. All I was able to see were bears, tigers, some monkeys.... uhm...." Hakuma needed to think a little more, but he was very glad that she would help along with Yukio, but what about Jon and Mori?
"And.... I can't remember if there were any others, all I know was there was a large number of them that couldn't be taken on by me alone. I don't even know why they attacked either, we've lived in harmony with nature for years now.... I think something, or someone is controlling them..." Hakuma's guess was.

Anlu nodded again. "So... do you want them dead or just driven out? Either way... I'll take the bears.. I have a better chance of hitting them that the tigers or monkeys... " She looked around shyly... She hoped how she fought wouldn't make everything obvious...

"I need to redeem the death's of my fellow monks.... I don't just want them dead, I need them dead to restore their honor..." Hakuma said. He looked over to Yukio and then back to Anlu.
"I don't mind what you fight, as long as you know you can assist in the fight. Just remember, they're all strong animals and they need to be dealt with as soon as possible..... Now what about Jon, and Mori? Do you think they'd be able to assist us or are they too busy?" Hakuma asked. He did notice at first how hostile they were to meeting Hakuma, probably because he was a stranger, but he was unsure if they would want to by the way they showed themselves at the port. Hakuma hopes that with the three of them it should be easier to talk them into joining.
