Yuki had left Illuminatus and was already reaching the village's gates. "I wonder where he is. I'm not so sure how I'll be greeted." she said, practically to herself. She kept walking, wearing rather baggy pants, a short and cut T-shirt, and had a small cape drapped over her.

Illuminatus stepped out from the gatepost, cloak flaring. "Good, I've been waiting for you," he said. Time Ramping was a specialty of his, and he never failed to use it to his advantage. "Any particular reason why you're so anxious to escape me?" he asked.

Yuki made a surprised face and then a pissed look appeared. "It's not that I'm trying to escape, it's... nothing. Let's just go." she said and started to walk.

Illuminatus stood there, staring after her for a while. He may usually seem bitter and cold, but in this case he had been very polite to Yuki. His first impulse was to lift her up with a line of shadowscript (the glowing runes that appeared when he used certain types of spells) and demand an answer, but he restrained himself and followed, his cloak rippling like liquid shadow and his eyes like poisoned ice.

Yuki kept walking, even though she really wasn't looking where she was going since she was lost in thought. "I, um... I'm sorry for being so mean. I just..." she said, trying to look for the words, still walking and looking down.

"Just what?" Said Illuminatus expectantly.

"Just--" she stopped, bumping into a tree. "Oh, dammit!" she said, putting her hands to her forehead where she hit her head. "Ow!! That really hurt!" she said to herself, crouching down.

The temperature dropped a couple of degrees as Illuminatus fixed his piercing gaze on Yuki. "Just what?" He repeated. "If we have a problem, I'd like to know about it now so I can watch my back if you're behind me during a crisis."

Yuki took out of her pocket a small handkerchief and placed it on her forehead. "I just have trust issues, that's all. No biggie." she said, getting up and pouring a little bit of water on the handkerchief, placing it back on her head. "Oh, and.. thanks for the heads up and your help." she said sarcastically, looking back at him and smirking.

"Likewise," hissed Illuminatus, continuing on. "Ella tiene la insanidad," he muttered in Spanish, a favorite language of his. Illuminatus was fluent in Arabic, Spanish, and Salacazharö.

"Eh, no, no estoy loca." she said in spanish as well. "I'm just being careful. Shall we?" she said and continued walking, a little pissed at him. Great! I get the inconsiderate and self-centered guy, as always. Jeez! she thought to herself.

"Who also has a limited ability to read minds!" shot back Illuminatus. Illuminatus could see on several different fields of vision, not all at once but switching between them. On the thirteenth, everything was made of glowing runes inside the shadowy transparent outlines of what they described. Thoughts, actions, speed and distance could all be read, if you knew where to look. He walked on, but in a minute sighed and said,
"I'm sorry we got off on the wrong foot. I don't know why you're being so cold to me, and right now I'm not going to ask- shhh!" His head snapped around, eyes glowing slightly as he flicked through the Fields. "There's something in the bushes there. Looks like some kind of water monster. Kappa, I think."

Yuki looked over at to where he said and saw some rustling. "Well, what is he thinking or planning, O master of minds?" she whispered back at him. She reached to her back pocket and took out a small gun.
(( Ok!! Buen Provecho!! mrgreen ))

"Can't tell. He's got a bush in front of him, and I can't sort through all the photosynthesis modifiers. But it said on the back of my sushi box that Kappa maki is so named because a Kappa would not harm someone who carved their name into a cucumber and threw it to the monster. Problem is, I don't carry cucumbers around with me."

Yuki looked at him with "what-the-hell?" eyes and tried to forget it. "Ok, Mr. Bento, should we ignore him or what?" she asked, wondering if they would get to their destination.
(( Haha!! Pobresito! tienes espacio para postre? XD ))
