Kaori
Kaori and Ash, along with their Haste potion, walked out of the grey city in silence. Things were rarely this awkward around them, but right now, Kaori could tell that Ash simply had too much on her mind. The half-demon walked slightly ahead of her, her eyes cast low on the ground. It wasn't too hard to guess what she could be thinking about.
However, on Kaori's end, although she hadn't said anything, the mere thought of encountering this demon had her chills running up her spine. She wouldn't say anything either, of course, so Ash wouldn't have to worry about her as well, but still, it was wearing on her.
As the two of them walked into the nearby bamboo forest, Kaori decided she should at least say something, if only to get both of their heads out of this.
