The words 'something appears' urged him to bring his hands together, slowly crack the knuckles. He hadn't thought about something rolling up out of nowhere looking to brawl, but it wasn't like he was completely unarmed.

But damn did he wish there was something sturdy lying around that he could use. Not that his fists couldn't do the job well enough!

It felt pretty damn good to walk out into the sunshine. Soaked to the bone, he almost wanted to stop and take it in for a minute until a breeze - just a hint from the Winter that had just passed - reminded him that he needed dry clothes before he caught himself a stupid cold.

So began the climb up the hills nearby, squinting to see if he can see rooftops or anything to that effect in the distance. He could call up Takeji Zaiten to head out, but that voice was muted; just his luck that this wasn't the TV world.

"Place is pretty damn quiet..." He grumbled. Sleepy'd be a good term for it, but that was the ocean behind them in the distance, wasn't it? Inaba was hours from the nearest beach.

"Would the cabs even come out this far...?" Muttering mostly to himself mow. Whatever this far was.
