Somewhere else in the forest...
A dark blur zipped across the treetops, shadow passing silently over the forest floor below.
Moonlight filtered through the branches, glinting faintly off his twin daggers.
His gaze scanned the terrain, sharp and focused, as if looking for something—or someone.
Then, in a sudden halt, he skidded on the edge of a branch and turned his head slightly, brows twitching.
"...Why are you following me?" Kai asked without even fully turning around.
A second later, a second figure appeared behind him, landing a little too loudly for stealth.
Messy silver hair, and that same cocky grin tugged at his lips.
"Well, since we're friends and heading in the same direction, I thought I might tag along. Haha," Corrin said, rubbing the back of his head like it was the most natural thing in the world.
Kai stared at his mismatched silver and black eyes.
The breeze shifted. Leaves rustled.
Then he shrugged.
