Having taken care of the task that his friend Jyn had set out to do now it was time to head back to Jun'Jo so they could have some lunch and discuss more business or other things that need to be discussed. The trek back to Jun'Jo would already be under way with the village they had just tried to recruit from not far in the distance behind them. Following along side Jyn, Yuki would slowly shift his head, his gaze shifting as he scans the area in front of him. After taking a brief moment to glance around, Yuki turns his gaze to Jyn, " That went well, how do you think you did? Get enough females to take care of all your needs? " Yuki asks jokingly as he looks to his friend, " Or do we have to go raid another village to get a few more? " the half-breed adds before shifting his gaze from his friend to look ahead of them. Lifting his gaze, Yuki glances towards the sky for a brief moment to see roughly what time it is before he shifts his gaze back to the area ahead of him, " Next time we will have to discuss bringing mounts to ride so we don't have to walk everywhere. " Yuki says with a faint nod.
It had been an enjoyable trip so far, and though it had primarily been for business, Jyn was able to meet and talk to a lot of new and interesting people from the village they were in the process of leaving. He had met a few people who would become friends in the future, but for now, relationships were starting to bud and grow. He felt lucky that his best friend had come with him for this excursion, and enjoyed the company there and was in the process of enjoying it on the way back. On top of that, he was mostly eager to get back to eat Lightning’s cooking.
Jyn would be looking forward and happily humming to himself when his friend speaks. Turning to him, he gives a “hmm?” at the words and then smiles and laughs bashfully looking forward as he smirks, “I’ll leave the brothels to you… but I still think there’s money in that business… Actually, I should take you to one.” He assures his friend, “I walked for the greater portion of my life… well Battousai doesn’t like horses, but still, I figured it was a part of my training.” Looking to Yuki, he would comment, “it’s good for you too; probably give you greater stamina in bed.” As they were talking, they would be walking through an area of tall grasses, getting back to the greener lands further north. Interrupting them, three bandits dressed in armor consisting of fur and leather stand up on all sides with two wielding daggers and one a rusted sword. The men looked half starved and cut up as if having been in a few skirmishes lately. They held skinned heads save for a single puff of hair in the back of their heads. Red war paint was across their faces. The one with the sword speaks, “you picked a bad route to take. Be quick about it, strip naked and leave everything here.”
Hearing Jyn begin to speak, Yuki glances to him as he listens to what his friend has to say. Listening to his friend, he seems to bring up something that Yuki had not given much thought before, though now he thinks upon the idea of opening a brothel or two in Theden to help bolster its income and perhaps moral. It seemed that Jyn was not against such an idea so perhaps investing in one or two would be a profitable venture. As Jyn continues to speak Yuki shifts his gaze back ahead of them while listening to his friend. The half-breeds gaze only remains ahead of them for a few brief moments before Jyn makes the comment about walking giving you stamina. With the comment from his friend, Yuki looks back to him and smirks faintly, " I didn't know you had a problem with such a thing. You seem very good with the females, though I could be wrong. " Yuki says teasingly as he looks at his friend, " I on the other hand have no such problem. " his statement was true, though it related to before he was weakened once again, now he seemed to have less stamina then he did before. With his attention on his friend, Yuki wouldn't notice the bandits until he heard one of them speak. Hearing the bandit Yuki quickly shifts his gaze ahead of them as he comes to a stop, his right hand reaching up to his right shoulder though as he reaches up he remembers that he had not brought his large sword but instead the smaller one, " Lower your weapons and surrender and I'll think about letting you live. " Yuki says with a growl as he shifts his gaze between the bandits.
“What’s that?” Bandit three would speak from behind Yuki, “did you see him reach for a weapon that wasn’t there? That’s a hoot.” Bandit two would chuckle at this as Bandit one would assure, “fuck that. I gave you a command, now I’m being nice allowing you to do it. Get down and perhaps you won’t get raped.” Jyn’s eyes widen, “wait, what? Raped? Who’s… that’s just wrong, and I’m unarmed!” Bandit one would comment, “yeah, that’s why you should do what I say, dumbass!” Due to the fact that Yuki seemed to be unresponsive to threats, the men would be more nervous than if he and Jyn had just done what they said, but still, Jyn knew his limitations. “Shit…” he would murmur as he held his hands up and attempted to buy some time. Attacking them straight on would just get them killed quicker; they at least needed the assistance of a diversion. “Okay, we won’t put up a fight,” Jyn would assure the men as he began to channel energy within himself. He would look to Yuki and ask, “right?...” The bandits would look to Yuki to make sure he complied, but at that moment, Jyn would thrust his hands forwards and yell, “Heki!” (Light Burst). The bubble of light would aim for the center of Bandit one’s chest since he had the largest weapon, whether or not it staggered him, Jyn would be rushing in and the battle would begin.
Hearing the bandit behind him causes Yuki to utter another soft growl as he gazes at the one ahead of him. Another of the bandits speaks, cracking up about him going for a weapon that wasn't on his back, and unfortunately it wasn't so he did look like a fool, something that angered the half-breed. Listening to the other bandit as he speaks, bringing up the topic of raping them, Yuki begins to see that they had gotten themselves into a bit of a spot at the moment, though he lacked the same power he had before and knew that if he had to fight these bandits it would be costly for him given his current skill and abilities. Though he was willing to fight these bandits as he always held a willingness to fight, Yuki felt that he may not have the ability to win in the fight given the odds even though he has Jyn at his side, but as he had said before, Jyn was not the real fighter but Battousai instead. As Jyn makes the comment about not fighting Yuki grumbles softly and though he wanted to fight he knew that such actions could prove to be fatal for the two. " Like hell I'm not going to fight. " The half-breed says in an angered tone even though he knew such actions could prove to be fatal he still wasn't going to just give up and roll over, however it seemed that his friend had an ace up his sleeve as he looses a spell and strikes one of the bandits.
When Jyn attacked, he thought that the attack would be fluffed, but still enough to catch the guy off guard in order to attempt to put a fist in his face. If possible, it would be good to knock them down and then back a run for it. What escapes from his hands, catches even himself off guard. The spell manifests itself in a powered from over double his current ability. The result is a critical shot that strikes the unsuspecting bandit in the chest, basically blowing him out of his shoes and onto his back with his chest smoking from light energy. It wouldn’t be enough to kill, the bandit, but that one strike would take well over a quarter of the bandit’s life. Seeing the single attack send their boss reeling the men take another look at Jyn and decide that this steal attempt was too dangerous at the current moment. After realizing this, they would rush towards the side of their friend and help him up, watching Jyn and Yuki closely while retreating from the battle. Jyn would continue to watch them, before his mind would catch up with him and he would grin and yell, “and if I see you again, I won’t be so merciful!” Now that they were running, he was feeling more confident about the situation. Laughing a bit at what had happened, he would look to Yuki and say, “you were scared weren’t you?” and pretend like that level of power was currently normal for him.
The attack from Jyn even took the half-breed by surprise as it struck the bandit and knocked him to the ground, seeming to be rather powerful in nature, strong enough to knock the bandit to the ground and injure him. NOw that the bandit had been put down Yuki thought about jumping in and attacking the others now that an opening had been made, however such action could still be fatal for him and his friend, so he decides to stay his hand and allow the bandits to retreat, something he knew he wouldn't do if he was strong enough to fell them, though given his situation it seemed the better option. With another growl, Yuki watches as the bandits begin to retreat with there leader. Though Jyn decided to taunt the bandits as they ran, Yuki remains silent as he watches them retreat. When Jyn speaks to him, Yuki glances to his friend for a moment before shifting his gaze to look in the direction of the bandits, " Me, scared? " Yuki says with a soft chuckle as he looks at Jyn, " I think you where the one trembling in your shoes. " he adds jokingly, " Though I am surprised that you stuck him down like that. How much of your strength have you and Battousai recovered? "
With a shrug, Jyn would comment, “I don’t know if Battousai learned that one yet. That might be a Jyn exclusive.” There is a grin as he boosts about this; he had been the first physically unlock magic, so he felt he had one up on the samurai. Since they were still not home yet, Jyn would suggest, “but we should probably not waste too much time out here. How about I race you home and the loser has to…” This train of thought had come to a halt as he had to think of something great for the loser to do. After thinking for a moment, his gaze is caught by something on the ground. It would seem as if the bandits had left something behind in their haste to move away from the battle. “Hey look at this,” Jyn would draw attention to it, “I think I hit the guy so hard, I knocked some items off of him. We might actually profit from this!” Moving towards the tall grasses, he would crouch in it and begin to seek through it to see what all he could recover from their little skirmish; all that was missing was the ringing noise of gaining experience and the fanfare.

Listening to Jyn as he speaks, Yuki gives a faint nod as he thinks on what Jyn had just done. Having focused on his martial abilities, Yuki knew that he had left the magic he had once had behind though he felt it was something that he should get back. " I see. Perhaps it is. " Yuki says with a faint nod in response to his friends comment about the spell. With the bandits taken care of Yuki knew it was time to get back on trek and head back to Jun'Jo. As Jyn brings up the topic of getting back to Jun'Jo instead of wasting time out here, Yuki listens and when the male brings up the idea of a race, Yuki looks at him with a raised eyebrow, though he seems to get off topic and not finish his statement. In an instant the topic seems to change as Jyn comments about seeing something, to which Yuki glances around for a moment before turning his attention back to Jyn as he moves over to some tall grass and crouches down. " That must have been a powerful attack. " Yuki comments as he moves over to where Jyn is kneeling and looks to see what all his friend had, " We should go shoot someone bandits with that attack some time, sound good? " Yuki says with a smirk as he looks at his friend.

While scavenging the spoils, Jyn would fine three uncommon items. They were useful items to be named later, but for the time being, he would pocket them. Looking up to Yuki, he would see that Yuki had found more things and then him; this made him frown just a bit out of jealousy. When the comment, the frown would turn into a grin as he would say, “just run around and blast bandits? Sounds like a fun idea.” While Jyn was morally opposed to forcing people to do things, he didn’t feel bandits were actually people; they were bad people, which is where the difference would lie. The theorem of justice in his mind would have him more the type to be a hero than a villain.
After collecting the items, he would then return to the topic of the race. Explaining that the prize wasn’t important, he would instead say that the real prize was the pride in knowing who was faster. While speaking this, he seems to notice something behind Yuki as he points and yells, “watch out!” After pointing, Jyn would quickly turn around and get a head start on the race he just thrust into existence. While running, he declares, “and I shall be the winner, slowpoke.”
After a few moments of searching to make sure he had collected everything of value the bandits had dropped, Yuki slips the items of value into the pouch that held the rest before shifting his gaze to Jyn as he speaks. Looking to Jyn, Yuki nods his head faintly to confirm that Jyn was right with what he said and it seemed Jyn wasn't apposed to the idea, though Yuki had said it more in jest since such a thing may not happen all the time. Having pocketed every item of value he could find, Yuki raises back to his feet and glances around for a brief moment before shifting his gaze back to Jyn as he begins to explain some things about the race he had brought up before they had ran into the bandits. Given that the one with the idea was his friend, the half-breed wasn't against the idea of doing a friendly race to see which of the two is faster. When Jyn yells watch out, Yuki shifts his attention to see what Jyn is talking about, turning his gaze to look behind him he doesn't realize that Jyn had already begun to run until he shifts his attention and notices Jyn has already begun the race. With a soft growl Yuki begins to run to catch up to his friend, " That wasn't a very sportsmen thing to do, cheating like that. " Yuki calls out to Jyn, teasing him about distracting him before starting to run.
“It’s not cheating if the good guy does it!” Jyn yells over his shoulder as he continues to run. Unfortunately, when looking over his shoulder, he negates to look in front of him. So when said event occurs, he ends up tripping over a rock hidden in the grasses. His body goes chest first to the ground where he slides a little before realizing that Yuki would have had time to catch up and pass him by now. If Yuki had stopped to check on him, he would quickly get up and keep running in order to regain the lead. If not, then he would scramble to his feet and chase after Yuki in the direction in which they would be heading. Either way, he would soon find out that Yuki was faster than him on foot, so when the race came to an end as they neared the city, if all went as normal running, Jyn would find himself chasing after Yuki, using all of his effort just to keep up. As they neared the village, it would be bustling with the afternoon activity of workers moving here and there along with scouts scouting and all that good stuff.
As Jyn yells back over his shoulder to him, Yuki listens to the male as he comments about it not being cheating if the good guy does it, something that causes the half-breed to growl softly, though when Jyn trips over a rock and falls, Yuki calls out, " I guess the bad guy is going to win today because they don't offer help to people who fall in races. " Yuki says playfully to his friend as he quickly moves past him and begins to put all his capabilities behind his speed to keep ahead of Jyn. Having pulled ahead of Jyn and put forth all his effort to keep it that way, Yuki would take lead in the race and keep it that way as he lead the way back towards Jun'Jo. Drawing closer to Jun'Jo, Yuki would begin to slow down now that they are coming closer to there destination. As he slows, Yuki glances back to Jyn and smirks faintly, " I guess good should always look at what's ahead of them so they don't trip? " he says teasingly, " When we get to your place we can discuss what the winner gets. Perhaps a larger portion of food? " Yuki adds before shifting his attention back ahead of him.
The distance back to Jun’Jo was enough for the two to work up a good sweat. With Yuki slowing down, Jyn would catch up until he was right beside his friend. As he comes along side Yuki, Jyn’s body would hunch over and he would grab his knees, with his chest heaving with him trying to catch his breath. He would mumble, “I knew animals were fast, but damn…” Looking up to Yuki, Jyn lifts up and pulls back sweat soaked hair from his face and comments, “are you sure you lost your strength?” It doesn’t take Jyn long to catch his breath, however. He would motion towards the village, as if he were the one leading the way as he would state, “okay, break’s over. Let’s go. No deal, you’re not getting my food… the race was fixed.” He would begin walking towards the village, now with Yuki. Soon they would be able to enjoy Lightning’s lunch and that was all that mattered. Jyn figured he could work on his running speed a little later; he didn’t like the fact that Yuki had been able to stay in front of him so easily. It seemed like they both had one point each for the day, though.
As Jyn comes to his side, Yuki watches as he hunches over and grabs his knees as he breaths heavily to catch his breath. Like Jyn, Yuki was winded though not to the extent of his friend. Watching his friend work on catching his breath made the half-breed smirk faintly as he listens to Jyn begin to speak, commenting about animals being fast. Reaching over, Yuki lightly pats his friend on the back as he inquire about his strength, " Now why would you think such a thing as that. " Yuki comments as he lets his arm fall back to his side as he begins to follow after Jyn as he begins to move once again while speaking. " I'll let you off the hook this time since you started running before me. " Yuki says as he follows at Jyn's side as they head towards the village. " Perhaps I did get my strength back, though you did trip and fall to the ground, something that would give me a good head start on you. Not to mention the fact that you seem to be out of shape, you must be eating to much of Eri's food. " Yuki says jokingly as he glances to Jyn for a moment before turning his gaze back ahead of them.
