(OOC: My character doesn't care about stuff you can do now. He just cared that you almost blew him up with the arrows. You have now earned a grudge from him.)

Tamakatari looked back at Thid.

"Hey, Magical Shield! Keep your head up. I might need you to block a spell, or better yet, try to blow us all up with one of your arrows."

OOC: Bah, had a foul day and not up to par for my usual self. I'll delete my rant and get back on track.

"I assume we won't be taking the road since this expedition back into civilization has worked out so well. It would probably be best if we didn't show our faces around here while Cid is in charge, although we should be fine taking the road when we reach Alban territory.

OOC: And what is the name of the this kingdom? It gets awkward trying to find ways to say it without a name...

Thid considers making an obscene gesture toward Tamakatari but decides against it. He's one of the more effective front-line meat shields, I’d best not piss 'em off.

Instead, Thid just sends a withering glare Tamakatari's way.

OOC: One was never made.

"We're going to go in the straightest line we can to get to Alba. If it means crossing a road or going on it for a while, so be it. Unless there are guards on that road, there is no reason we have to avoid it."

"We better make sure no one spots us then, and that they don't live long enough to tell the tale if they do. If Cid learns we are heading for Alba, he may rush his army or do something else and try to stop us."

"If he rushes into an attack on Alba, he will probably lose, so lets hope he does that."

"And I could hope that you guys shut the hell up and keep a watch out. Remember, we're gonna have a frickin' army here by morning, and if they decide to take the scenic route, they're coming right at us." Tamakatari noticed the looked Thid gave him, and sniffed loudly.

"Look all you want. I'm not scared of you. It will take you a few moments to get an arrow ready to shoot me, and by then I'd have taken care of you. And since I prefer weapons over magic, there isn't much you could do to me in a one-on-one fight. So I'd recommend sucking up your little tantrum, and focus on protecting our job."

"If he rushes to attack Alba, Alba may not be ready for him yet. Other than rumors that Cid has the superior army in numbers, we don't know much at all about the Alban army and how they are preparing." Vace said, then responded to Tama saying, "Hey, we know what we're doing. We'll make sure you don't get turned into a pincushion so calm down there buddy."

"I'm not worried about me, Vace." Tamakatari pulled his cloak up, and revealed an underlayer of Mythril.

"You think I'd make all those weapons and armor, and not make something special for myself? No, I'm worried about the princess. She's wounded, and if we have an entire army going after us, I can't protect her on my own."

"The Albans already know they were framed for murdering the king. Things like that spread very quickly, and any Alban in Cid's kingdom at the time would've already contacted the Albans, and they are probably more ready then Cid is. And the entire army will not come for us, I doubt Cid considers us that big of a threat."
