"Well well well, Guide Woods, don't you look perfectly perfect?" Sakura teased as Kellen arrived to the D.E.C. building. They had gone through the backway, driving in one of the Captain's more innocuous cars so that they didn't catch the attention of the public.
It wasn't exactly what Kellen wanted, but the Captain and the others weren't going to budge when it came to his safety today. It was different from when he'd done his press conferences in the Guild Tower. This wasn't even a covered area. This was out in the open, easy to target.
Kellen was practically painting a giant target on his back today.
