[color=ed1c24]"That might not be such a bad idea,"[/color] the trap agreed airily. [color=ed1c24]"You're the fastest of the four of us, Kaia can't scout, and between Cyare and I we have enough heavy hitters to take out anything you might lead over. Plus you can let us know if there's any good fruit up ahead!"[/color]

At the rate they were going through pears, there wouldn't be enough for the morning's fruit salad. That, plus the subpar quality of campfire coffee, was probably gonna put Cyare down a cruel trajectory:

Groggy -- Slow to awaken --> Slow in a fight (Grouchy) --> Potentially hurt (Potential facial wrinkles) --> Not cute

Angel's slim jaw set, newly determined.

[color=ed1c24]"If you find anything, I can be right behind you. I know this terrain pretty well myself. No two people will fall for the same trap."[/color]

[h3][color=#E34234]Hiwatari Rei:[/color] A Moment of Clarity[/h3]

"[color=#E34234]Whatever you say kid, whatever you say." Of course no sooner had I dismissed the kid's foolish defense of a boring food, did a moment of brilliance will itself inside my mind. See right now I had a couple problems to address, one was the lack of actual sustenance to eat, but I could really do much about that particular grievance. The next problem was my new found task of having to scout, which truth be told I didn't mind stretching my legs again but that brought me to my third concern.

Leaving the kids alone. 

If I left suddenly the young ones would be completely left to their own device. While I didn't doubt their capability to look after themselves, I was worried about the way they might treat the poor little trap. Young girls could be quite vicious afterall, either they would drag Angel along into some half baked scheme, abuse the child, or become angry about the fact that he was prettier than them. 

But fear not, there was a solution to this conundrum. 

"[color=#E34234]Hey Jungle Boy, there's no need for you to simply scamper around behind me. It'd only slow things down to be honest.[/color]" Before the trap even had a second to protest, I had pulled him up in a classic bridal carry, "[color=#E34234]Five Heavenly Beast Body Magic: Vermillion Bird Style - [i]Clock Up[/i][/color]"

And with that we were off. Who knows, maybe we would be lucky and find a deer. That'd be three birds.
