[CycloneKira]

Akira follows behind her to their campsite and helps her in setting up camp. Then he listens to her and nods. "Fine, but make sure you're back soon," he says, before wondering what made him say that. It's only afternoon after all; it's not even close to evening time.

As he watches her leave, he shakes his head a little, amazed at himself. Then he obediently gets the roots out and uses some of the water that they brought with them to wash the roots and begins cutting them up. The cutting gets done rather quickly, since he has done some cutting for his mother before.
