PAGE 10 - END OF DAY
I smiled gleefully when Rin suggested the use of last names. Although it mightn't have been the same with Shulk (After all, we didn't know his last name yet! Wait... Does he even have a last name??), it still worked really nicely. "Hey, you are as smart as I thought!" I praised the raven haired teen, throwing him a thumbs up to boot. "Alright, from now on, we're team ROS, led by yours truly, Ruby Rose!" I boasted, jumping jubilantly. I was probably just making more of a fool of myself than I already had... And that's not a good thing... It was just too hard not to be happy about leading yet another team! Well... Even though the second had one less person.
As Rin ran into the newfound entrance, I began to follow, but briskly stopped as he backtracked out of the cave, stating that it was way too hot. I was pretty astounded, to be honest. "Wait wait wait... You cover yourself in flames, yet you can't take the heat? Isn't that kinda... Strange, to you?" I asked, before turning away, realising I may have come across as rude. I mean, I didn't mean to be rude, I was just speaking my mind... I snapped back to reality when Rin requested of any ideas from the two of us, and I was this close to suggesting using Omnillium as I had seen Mr. Layton and Kanda do... But Shulk was already on the case! I let out a defeated sigh. I hadn't yet been of any use to the two... Except maybe for a bit of entertainment on the trip, but other than that I felt kinda useless.
I obliged to Shulk's request and fell silent, staring at the rocky floor and holding my hands behind my back. It took quite some time for the blond boy to finish, and to our delight his attempt had worked! I soon attempted to mimic his meditative state... But I barely proceeded a minute into doing so before a large rumbling was emitted from further down the mountain, launching a heavy rumbling through the ground and into my feet, tipping my balance off and sending me onto my rear.
My sight lifted to a trio of those giant rock-men from earlier, one of which seemed different from his colleagues... Not sure how he looked different, but he just did. They seemed to be speaking rather sternly to Rin and Shulk (I was further away, so I couldn't hear), and the former hung his head as the boulder guys rolled out... Literally. I not-so-gracefully pulled myself up to my feet and stalked over to the duo. "U-uhm... So... What's happenin'?" I asked nervously, dreading what the two had to say. However, they didn't really need to say much... The look on Rin's face told it all. "Actually, never mind, I can see... Should we maybe get going, then?" I suggested, giving a half-hearted grin in an attempt to lighten up the situation.
We arrived at a gate, similar to the one that I emerged through in the Tangled Greens, at which Shulk said his farewells and departed trough the arch. I hung my head, upset that someone I only just met was already leaving... Was I ever going to see that weapon Shulk again? I perked my head back up when Rin asked if he could travel with me. I contained my joy, expressing it through my eyes and lips rather than... Everywhere else, to be blunt. "Sure thing! I'd love to keep travelling with you! I would've liked to keep going with Shulk, too, but whatever! He just decided to leave us!" I complained in jest, letting out a giggle afterwards. I proceeded through the gate, motioning for Rin to follow my lead, back towards the Nexus.
