This really was just like home. As he perched high in the boughs of a tree to expand his view, it was easy enough to integrate and head off on scouting missions. With nothing but the wind blowing through the leaves catching his ears, everything seemed just so far so good. It also helped to give himself some time to come up with a game plan, a quick kill, and a quick return to form.

...As it were, anyway. Many others who had strange creatures emerge from the crystals they'd harvested were well on their way, but the warm stone strapped and all wrapped up in cloth against his back could do nothing but twitch and hum of late. There was obviously life inside, but nothing that deemed itself ready to be 'born' just yet. Still, Yuki'to saw no reason to stay behind when he could do what he'd been doing for a good portion of his life.

His tail twitched, eager as he turned one blue and one green eye to his partner. Perhaps they had a plan much sooner than he, and with a wordless nod, he would hear it. Were they a strategic type or a shoot-first, ask-questions-later type?

Whatever the case, even if he himself was an adventurer of few words, he had no problem adjusting his combat style to fit. A ninja was nothing if not versatile.
