"Oh neat, that's something you don't hear everyday," she chimed in. She would have said more, but Eve's comment on keeping Billy's face in-tact was too funny not to laugh at.
It was hard to really focus between mocking Billy and listening to Suzanna, but Anna did pull away just in time to catch the other counselor's two cents. Suzanna, easily the more realistic and less 'fake' person of the group, seemed to share in Anna's worry. She spoke with a slight sense of alarm, but did a hell of a job keeping it all together.
"Eve and I can go with Mikheil!" Anna was piping up at the idea of Mik being a 'hero,' of sorts. "We've all trained and we're more than capable of handling ourselves. If we get into a tricky situation, we'll be sure to run right back!"
"I would feel better if we kept together as a larger group," Billy looked out from what he was doing. "We don't need more small groups peeling away and getting lost."
Of course, as soon as he said that, Megumi was on the ground. So much for going with the group to hunt down the missing party members. "Eh, I guess we're up," there was a slight growl to his tone. Billy anything but happy with this poor timing. The idea of exploring the woods thrilled him and, quite frankly, he didn't want to be out performed by Mikheil. Sure, the guy was nice, but Billy didn't want the punk messing with his ranking.
"Good luck," Anna chirped while looping an arm around Mikheil. It didn't last long though, for she immediately broke out in laughter. "Ummm, you're holding your katana wrong."
"Why did I pick this thing?" Billy said while looking at it backwards. "I hate swords. Should have taken a Star Wars blaster, like you." The freckle-faced man flashed Suzanna a grin. "Or better yet, a light saber! That way I can deflect friendly fire." This time he winked, though it was purely for play.
Sheathing his sword improperly, Anna broke from Mikheil and immediately placed her hands all over Billy's holster. She removed the sword with slow graze before flipping the thing so the sharp side was down. Sliding it back in, she purred ever so slightly. There was definitely something seductive about her gestures, enough to cause Billy to stand still and try not to swoon ever so slightly. "And to think, I'm supposed to entrust my life with you. I think I'll place my money on my girl Eve."
"Hey now," it was easy to sense his upset.
"Even my Mikie is more knightly than you. At least he knows how to properly hold things." Her chest puffed up and she skipped back beside the guy.
"Lucas!" She skipped forward toward the boy. "Chai, mind if I borrow him?" The blonde didn't even wait. Instead, she just yanked Lucas from his spot and started to move back to Eve and Mikheil.
"Team Rescue," she whispered so Chai wouldn't catch drift of their antics. "We're going to find our lost comrades." Anna peaked up to spy Art and Coops. "You two stay here with Meg and make sure the food doesn't get ruined. Billy and Suzanna will fight and be our cover."
Taking a hand, she threw it into their little circle. "Let's go save the day, folks!"
Billy, shaking his head, moved to Suzanna. "Let's get those over with."
