Oh, so that's where Niou had gotten off to. Getting to be on the same team as Zaizen was a huge plus, but Niou... he didn't even dislike the guy, but he was soooo cranky. This was going to be a long two weeks for everyone.

Carrying the equipment Zaizen had loaded him with, he mades his way over to Niou, stopping at a respectful distance. "So are we doing this outdoor-cat style where you come and go as you please and only show up for meals and a bed?"
