"You know, out in the wilderness after dark isn't the safest place to cuddle." she teased, trying to lighten the mood.

As Suki jumped, and hearing the voice, Umichi also jumped. He didn't look up, he covered his face. Partly to cover the embarrassment and his blush, partly to wipe his tears. "You're right" he said, wiping them with his fingers, and getting up, after Suki ducked under his arms. His voice was a little raspy from the crying and the yells. Suki cleared her throat saying they should head back. He nodded, cleared his throat. "Let's head back." [i]Man, I guess after that, all I can say is that I actually fell in love with her.[/i] all doubt being cleared about how he felt about her. Umichi wasn't sure for a while about his feelings for Suki, they had only met for a couple of days. Yes, they were definitely friends, he obviously cherished her. But he didn't think he would fall in love so quickly. He mentally laughed at how easy he fell in love. He went to hold her hand as they walked out of the forest.

His eyes had adjusted a bit more. The game cleared his view a bit, it seemed. Heading back to the Gonike. There were some more wolves about. They were more active than the boars at night. Wasting no time, he swiftly took care of them as they reached the town. They had entered the safe zone. "Let's hand in the quest." he told them, heading to the bar. They collectively finished the quest, and now, Suki could make Fireworks with her alchemy. "Please, step outside, I will be lighting the fireworks for my daughter, you can see an example when I do." The bartender NPC told them. Umichi headed outside, to look up into the night sky where the fireworks would be displayed.
