Uh.

N-No, I... [Sparks knows better than to go after her. Otherwise it might be her sword that slaps him upside the head instead.

He goes to say something to Kaji, but he stops, eyes narrowing as he thinks. The marshal looks to each person, as if to puzzle out why everyone was there.]

Okay, uh... What were we doing, again?

[iknowtheconsequences]

Kaji clearly sees his opportunity here, and so he holds up his hands placatingly in surrender. "You, I think, we're going to go after your friend there. And I am going to just go home. Well. Find Ib, and take her home. She's very sick but I know she's here. But if you guys can't do anything for her, then I suppose I don't really have any business here, now, do I?" The little smile never quite leaves Kaji's face. This all sounds completely safe and reasonable, now, doesn't it? Or, Kaji hopes it sounds convincing.

[empty_smile]

[Shun's expression flickers with surprise, upon seeing that slap. Aside from that, however, he doesn't react too much. Or more like...he doesn't need to. Red is already turning and walking away, just as Shun glances down to Yeul and considers the next move...

Sparks is acting strange, upon hearing the older man's question. Slowly turning his head to look at the man next to him, Shun's brow tenses. Upon witnessing the confusion and questioning, Shun's eyes narrow. Just as he starts to open his mouth, Kaji speaks up.]

...

[That nice "act" of surrender has Shun's face tensing. Clearly, he's doing everything he can to lure Sparks away. Clever...using the moment to his advantage. Or, perhaps, that was all part of the plan to begin with. Shun gave a faint smirk.]

What a convincing way to put it. [The smirk is replaced by a serious expression, and then he turns to Sparks.] Remember why you're here. If we're going to save anyone, we can't let those who still cling to the lies... [Looking back to Kaji, now.] ...stop us. [Back to Sparks.] If you still desire to save their lives, then I will continue to welcome you as an ally.

[If Sparks is questioning their motives even after this, Shun will consider him as being not entirely out of Jessi and her friends' clutches. It's in that moment, however, Shun spots a familiar face. A soft blink is given as he stares, for a moment, past Spark's shoulder.

Looking from Sparks, to Yeul, he gives the other young woman a faint smile and nod.] Let's go. [Then, to Sparks.] If you wish to allow this man to continue feeding you lies and derailing you from our quest, then you're not strong enough for any of this. Think about it.

[With that, he's going to begin walking the short distance away.]

[red_planet_blues]

Uuuh... [Right. Clear your head, Nevada! Why had he said all that stuff earlier? Had Red said he was dead? Things were trickling back in, but truth and lies were now muddled together, and he was quickly getting a headache. He looked at Kaji and shook his head.]

Reckon I go after her, and she's likely to kill me. Ain't exaggeratin', either. I'll, uh. I'll deal with that later...

[Mostly because he wasn't sure why she was so mad, yet. Wasn't he trying to help her?]

I'm gonna... I'm gonna go after those two and figure out what the heck is... yeah. Okay. Go find Ib.

[And unless Kaji stops him, he's going to go after Shun.]

[iknowtheconsequences]

Whatever is the matter with the Marshal, Kaji won't be able to solve it on his own, so he will retreat. Even the people who claimed to have the answers don't seem to have anything helpful, and if something goes wrong, this entire thing might turn into 'hero' on 'hero.' So, okay. He'll look for the one person he feels responsible for, and try to get the both of them out of here, find another cure.

Kaji won't find Ib, but he'll come across another far too sick person, instead. However things fall out with Shun and Sparks, the info broker is going to find himself dragged into a different fight.
