Kyo felt a wave of relief pass through him as Jade stopped by; a familiar face in an unfamiliar environment provided him some semblance of comfort and would allow him to regain any equanimity he was capable of possessing.
"Sorry." said Kyo sincerely, nodding at the mute man.
[i]"It's fine, don't worry about it."[/i] came the earnest reply. [i]"Introductions are in order, I guess. I'm Raphael and this life-saver to my left is Kent."[/i]
"I'm Kyo, this is Jade." he said tersely, wanting to make himself useful as soon as possible. "Dark and I are best friends, Kent, and I have no doubt in my mind that you're referring to the Guardian. Since the two of you are well acquainted, I'll trust your judgement. Lead on."
Kyo gestured at the wrecked buildings behind Raphael and Kent; it was there that they were most likely to find survivors. The area behind Kyo and Jade did not even have a remote possibility of containing life.
