[No goading about the reason for his presence on the planet, only a curt understanding. They both have details they'd rather not dredge up, huh?

Were they on the street, or in a bar, he'd pry. Risk his own secrets being unearthed to exhume hers.

But neither of them has time for that bullshit.]

Find a cave, and find dozens of beasts with their back to the walls.

We'd have to clear it out. [Natural shelter is better in situations like this, the infrastructure of the cities crumbling easily to the dragon's rot. He's not against slaughtering a hoard of panicked animals, messy though the task may be.]

Then let's find one before dark.

[How many beasts can there possibly be? Easily scared, and easily driven away. Perhaps some need to be slaughtered, but she'll leave that to him. Rosalind jerks her head, striding forward, heading towards one of the gates.

It's going to be a long journey, and she hates nature. Rosalind grimaces, then:]

We'll steal . . . oh, whatever we can find. A horse, preferably.

[Ride a horse. Together. Takasugi's experience on horseback is fairly limited - mounts are a luxury they couldn't often afford, and efforts to steal were better spent on airships.

And whatever they catch will hardly be tame.

He follows, but with hardly any intention to pursue a wild beast.]

That's a waste of time, even if you know how to ride. [Ayy]

If we follow the tracks, we'll find where they're all hiding. [The animals know better than them the lay of the land, the safest bulwarks.]
