Nakano Tanaka
The Elder's House

"Great River Keep," Nakano mumbled, "seems simple enough." She turned to her father and said, "Guess it's time for goodbyes then. She exchanged a quick hug with him and as she pulled back, Nakano noticed that her father seemed teary eyed. And yet, Kazan had never looked prouder at the same time. This was a great honor after all, and one that while Nakano would not have to bear alone, it was still something far greater than someone her age should really be handling. Still, she was up to the test. The fate of Ransei depended on it after all.

Nakano glanced over at the other two bodyguards that would be joining the journey. First her eyes settled on Fuyuse. She seemed frail at Nakano's first blush, but she spoke with determination, a good indicator of hidden strength. Given the weapons she had her disposal, Nakano could trust her to be a fellow warrior in arms even if it wasn't necessarily the art of the blade. Fuyuse had more potential range to her attacks though, and a lot more stealth capabilities, so all in all while they both were weapons specialists, they covered different areas.

Kaze, on the other hand, was a bit of an interesting fellow. Nakano definitely did not miss that wink at Juno. She wasn't quite sure if he was just messing around or actually trying to flirt but either way it was eye roll inducing. Still, he was the team's only magic user, so she hoped he was as reliable as he was goofy. Or perhaps her first impression would be prove wrong as they made their way down the road. Either way, Nakano could only hope that Kaze would prove reliable in the long run.

Nakano looked at Juno and the others and said, "Well? That Great River won't cross itself. Shall we be off then?"
