As he, Sandalphon, Roland, and Captain Falcon filtered out from the Stolen Moments bar, Zenkichi made sure to make a stop to grab some water before the Avenger landed. They touched down in a scrublands of sorts, which wasn’t an environment Zenkichi was familiar with at all. He only managed to get in a few seconds of sightseeing, especially at the strange crescent-shaped mountain in the distance, before the Armadillos interrupted and triggered a flurry of activity. Once he took a seat onboard one of the ATVs, he kicked back for the ride. 

Edelgard, however, chose to stay behind, looking over the map of the World of Light on the bridge. [color=crimson]”Enbarr…””[/color] She muttered, eyes focused intently on the city’s name. [color=crimson]”I’ve spent too long away already. As much as this battle matters…so too do my people.”[/color]

Back at Hammerhead, Zenkichi hopped out of the Armadillo and took a good look around the place, letting out a low whistle at the refinery. That was an impressive piece of work, and must have kept these guys in business pretty darn well, he thought. 

Nadia’s return from her chat with news of loot, though her cat burglar antics gave Zenkichi pause. [color=BFBFBF]”Wait, I thought we were supposed to be the good guys…”[/color] He breathed quietly, not quite under his breath, but certainly not at full volume either. Still, it wasn’t like he [i]couldn’t[/i] just return the equipment for the money. Regardless, he hustled over to the map board after her, using his height to get a good look over the others’ shoulders at the surrounding area. 

Plenty of options to choose from, but that Hightower sounded the most promising to him, so Zenkichi set about finding a way to get there. From the looks of it, Roland was headed up that way with Therion, but he wasn’t about to ride in the bed of his pickup through that terrain, so that was out. He could try talking with that guy to get his own car, but his pockets weren’t exactly deep. When Sectonia made her decision on which way to go, he approached the odd Giant Bee Lady and swallowed, a little nervous. 

[color=BFBFBF]”Hello, Sectonia. Your…majesty.”[/color] He belatedly added, remembering her claim to royalty from her world and her obsession with beauty. [color=BFBFBF]”If it wouldn’t be too much a bother, would I be able to hitch a ride? I know you’ve helped carry some of us before, and I certainly wouldn’t hold you back in combat if it came to it, either. Dealing with low-level punks is sort of my specialty, leaving the big guys to the heavy hitters like you.”[/color] A little bit of flattery, but he wasn’t lying about culling the chaff being his specialty, either.
