The Expendable went over to the woman with the axe and calmly raised his hand up to her, showing no violence to her at all, rather sympathy. 

[color=a7a7a7]"I feel like you and me have been through similar things."[/color]

The Expendable points to a large crack on his head, with a child-like bandage put on it. Visible signs of abuse and such are also on the pumpkin head, and his clothes are very ratty and patchy. A smile of sorts is exchanged to the girl from the pumpkin. The pumpkin began hoping that this becomes a good friendship between the two. 

Then the moment was ruined by the man who wanted to be called 'Sir', probably trying to hit on the masseuse in the current area. This was no time for romance, dammit, this was a time for planning and teamwork. The pumpkin poked the mans shoulder a bit harshly.

[color=a7a7a7]"I don't think now is the time to be asking these questions. Now's the time to act. You may or may not trust anyone here but there is obvious evidence that something happened with THAT fox-"[/color] The Expendable pointed at Ichiru. [color=a7a7a7]"- that had to bring us all together. Trust or no trust, I've lived in these woods for... well it must be 19 years now I think, and I've NEVER seen anyone else that is here in this forest. This is something that MUST be done, and even if we're going to be backstabbed by this fox, we are all together, and we may stand a better chance fighting back at this fox than we would as each one of us. I doubt he's lying, since he did bring most of you here with some kind of magic, and if he knows that we are capable of killing the all powerful Anjou as a cohesive unit, then why would he try to kill us? If we can't do it, it wouldn't mean anything helpful to Anjou."[/color]

The Expendable stopped speaking to just the man, and rather to the whole group.

[color=a7a7a7]"Agree or disagree. Love or hate. Yokai or yurei. We can do this as a team. Now are you all going to continue not trusting this fox and being sulky and emotional, or are you going to stand up alongside each-other and help slay this fox?!"[/color]

The flowers around the shrine started waving in the wind as the Expendable shouted that last word.
