AIKAWA KANEMARU.
Kanemaru did not like to be distracted while he was working. Focus was important, and anything that interrupted his focus was a nuisance, a bother, treated with disdain or eradicated entirely. Alas, he could do neither of those things to the yappy, three-eyed raven he'd actually chosen to let follow him around.
Why had he done that again?
Ah, right. Because, while the bothersome gore-creature was, well, a bother, xe was infinitely better than a random, less intelligent cannibal that would probably eat one of his limbs if Kane told them to shut the fuck up and let him concentrate. To nobody's surprise, Kanemaru did not fancy being a potential meal for a ragtag bunch of crazy cannibals.
The area they'd started off with Kanemaru could tell was perhaps the most destroyed part. Didn't make his job any easier, but he could see reason in starting with the hardest part first and just getting it out of the way. Apparently the coyote that Kanemaru now knew, thanks to Vale's listless rambling, was called Kole, had come out not so long ago and made pathways through the forest with fire, of all thinks. Kane couldn't decide if that was good or bad. It had made getting here easier, for sure, and wood ash contained vital nutrients for many plants. The forest would grow back healthier, perhaps. Especially with Kane's help.
"I see what you mean about a long-term project," Kanemaru remarked dryly, turning his head to side-eye the three-eyed raven. The forest was basically flattened here. To be perfectly honest, Kane thought it was probably better just letting Kole burn the place to ashes first, but whatever. "I'm good at what I do, but this is asking a lot of one fox."
