Although, he thought the pseudo-murasaki was acting very strange, so he had not been fooled entirely. He expected the same to be true of Murasaki, but didn't care to ask for confirmation. He hadn't liked the way Sneakers had so simply dismissed him. He expected it, because of his long years of experience in dealing with superiors. Superior in rank, while not always superior in anything else. This didn't mean he had to like it. He liked being respected. Respect was the only thing he cared to have from other people, with the possible exception of a partner. Trust too, was needed for that situation. Kiniro heard a click, something similar to the sound of a rifle being cocked. A sharp stacatto that had menace in its voice. "Hit the deck!" said Kiniro, short and soft, much like the click. He suited actions to words, and was already on the ground, and rolling by the time he had finished the sentence. Murasaki, and sneakers, who had obviously not heard the sound, kept walking. "WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGLLLLYYYYY TUUUUFFFF!" A white form rushed past Kiniro's head, and splattered the cave wall with pink goo. Unfortunately for the others traveling with him, they were well within the goo radius. Murasaki and Sneakers were a mess. Kiniro flashed his head around, just to see a glint of light on metal slide around a bend in the cave wall. Kiniro rolled up to his feet in a fluid motion, and walked cautiously towards Murasaki and Sneakers. TBC -Insanellama Your turn shard or shimarisu :)
