[quote=Suki] "I don't think I could sleep yet" Suki said, with a slight tone of amusement in her voice, "I'm too wired. Its been an eventful day" Her thoughts wouldn't leave her alone either, so she'd most likely stay up trying to puzzle them thought. "I'm just going to go to a merchant. you can buy books to read" She said, starting over to a merchant stall near the inn. [/quote] Umichi turned to Suki "Alright" watching her walk to buy a book. He smiled watching her choose a book and buy it. Yumi had playfully declared her inability to sleep and her wish to conquer the other floors. "That will take some time no matter how you look at it. Not something you can do in a day or two or even a month..." He trailed off. [i]Just how long will we be stuck here? How much time will I have with these people as well? [/i] deep in his thoughts. As Suki started to make her way back to the group, a man fainted in front of her. Umichi went to approach, seeing Suki help him, but couldn't. Umichi was about to go pick him up, when Yumi had already went to pick him up. He wanted to help, but thought maybe not. Watching her take the man to a room in the inn. He turned back to look at Shiribushi, but he was gone. "Hm.. Wonder where he went?" he asked no-one in particular. Umichi then turned around to see Yumi had dropped off the unknown fainted man at the inn and was coming back to the group. "Sure, let's get some training done." he replied to Yumi. "If you need to restock, go ahead, I will go to the front of the town." As he started to walk, his thoughts went on, [i]Will I be able to protect her? Them? Suki and Yumi? [/i], shaking his head to himself, [i] I shouldn't be thinking that way. I WILL protect them. I have to get stronger and faster if I am to do that. I will get faster and stronger. No matter what[/i]. His motivation re-ignited, he looked up while he walked towards the front of Gonike. He then saw a man had started to come into the town, he was definitely older than Umichi was, he had black hair, and looked worn out. "Hey there, attracted the fireworks from before?" He called out to the man.
