Yukki can't believe this. "I-is she special!? You seriously have no idea who she is?" He asks. Kaito shakes his head. Nyla stops him. "It isn't important." She says. "We should begin our travels." She says. Yukki nods. "Right if we go now we could make it in just under a week." He says.
Kaito smiles. "Well what're we waiting for?!" Kaito says happily and he leads the way.
The three of them begin making their way through the mountains. The journey takes hours, As they climb higher Kaito can't help but marvel at the sight behind them. They encounter a rather large one.
Yukki places his hands at his sides. "I didn't pack any climbing gear." He says. Kaito pulls out a rope and ties it to himself. "Don't worry i'm a great climber!" He says. Yukki looks at him uninterested. "You think i'm going to trust you, with nothing but a rope to save my life?" Yukki says.
Kaito looks at the rope, and then looks around. "I don't see any other ways." He says with a sly smile. Nyla looks around. "If we walk around it could take the entire day." She says. Yukki looks at Kaito and his rope and just shakes his head. "If we die it's on you." He says as he takes the rope. "Ms Nyla, you be in the middle just in case." Yukki says but then he notices her hands.
"Ms Nyla, have you never climbed before?" He says since Nyla's hands are soft. She shakes her head. "I rarely get out unsupervised, so this is pretty exciting!" She says. Kaito thinks. "I know!" Kaito says. He began tying Nyla to himself. "I can't let you to do that!" Yukki says with his face going red. Nyla is also a bit red. "This is quite bold." She says.
Kaito doesn't understand. "Why not?" He asks. "It's inappropriate!" Yukki yells. "It's climbing?" Kaito says. "My sister used to tie me to her when i was younger." Kaito says. Nyla clears her throat.
"Ahem, I think it's fine it's just climbing, nothing more." She says still a bit red. Yukki eyes Kaito. "I'm watching you." He says as he ties the rope around himself.
Kaito begins climbing the rock face with surprising speed. He grabs onto the holds one after another almost instantly and mobilizes his body with precision. Yukki falls behind, wondering how Kaito can climb so fast. Nyla is impressed by Kaito's skill. The climb is still a long one, but they proceed one step at a time. The sun beats down on them as they continue their ascent. Kaito leads the way, using his expert climbing skills to find the best handholds and footholds. Yukki follows close behind. Nyla barely even having to lift a finger as Kaito manuevers her around too.
The sun eventually begins to become too much. "This heat!" Yukki shouts. Kaito reaches the top and he pulls the other two up.
Yukki sits down, and takes a deep breath. "Finally!" He says. Nyla also takes a breath of relief. "It was quite scary." She says.
Kaito takes his hoodie and shirt off. "Ahh, much better!" Kaito says and Yukki gasps. "Put your clothes back on, you're in the presence of a noble!" Yukki says.
But he and Nyla are distracted by Kaito's body. He has large scars all over the place. "Those look like they hurt." Nyla says. Kaito laughs. "No these came from when i used to train with my dad." He says. "Your dad put those scars on you?" Yukki asks. Kaito nods. "Well he put some of them." Kaito responds.
Nyla continues inspecting. "You must've trained allot." She says and Yukki goes red noticing her staring at Kaito. He throws a white shirt at him. "Put it on!" He shouts. Kaito listens.
Kaito turns around and takes in the sight of the Mountain path now under them and he smiles looking at how high they've climbed. Nyla looks down at it to and she takes a deep breath.
She unties her hair and let's all of her hair blow in the win. Yukki smiles watching Nyla enjoy herself. The three of them sit at the mountainside together. "Kaito how old are you?" Nyla asks. "Fourteen." Kaito responds and Nyla smiles. "We're all the same age." She laughs. "What's your plans when we get to Mozam, ms Nyla?" Yukki asks. Nyla sighs. "Most likely i will be put on an even more strict schedule, my father is probably very worried." She says.
"You don't like what you do?" Kaito asks her. Nyla just looks down. "I don't dislike it, but more freedom would be nice." She says.
Kaito stands up, and stretches. "Well you're out now, so you should have lot's of fun!" Kaito says. "Not by choice." Yukki silently says.
Nyla looks up at Kaito and smiles. "I'm not used to people acting so casually around me." She says to him. Kaito laughs. Yukki stands up too. "We should probably set up camp, it's getting dark." Yukki tells them.
Kaito removes his bag. "I brung camping supplies, only have one tent though." Kaito explains. "Ms Nyla can have the tent." Yukki says.
Kaito and Yukki work hard and get the camp set up quickly.
