Where in this assassin once again has serious doubts about his target

[weiss_tank]

[Home Action!]

[Ken had gotten the mail, as per his usual routine. The letter from the town was unusual however. It couldn't be something from home, that only came after the town had a hissy fit.  So, he opened it up after a moments of hesitation and couldn't believe it. How could the town have that much power?

Still....the guys....Miakis...they were all at stake, and after all this wasn't any different from what he did at home. Of course, that line of thought stopped as soon as he saw the name of his target.

Japan.

The country he had used his second chance at life to protect time after time, from mad scientist to corrupt politicians, to evil cabals of psychically powered people bent on world destruction.  Could he really kill the personification of his country?]


[John Doe Park]

[He hadn't stopped to talk long with the people at home about the letter, in fact, he'd run out to the park as soon as he could. He needed to think, he needed to run around and not think, which ever worked to make him feel better. So there he was, running laps about the park, wonder what the hell to do next.]

[Ken will catch Lyon in the morning right after reading her own letter. She's suiting up to go out and retrieve the Prince, unconcerned with her own target. After putting on some loose clothing that's easier to move around in than the usual skirts and things in her closet, she comes downstairs carrying the nagamaki that Hiccup forged for her as a rush job this week. She looks pretty serious.]

[Ken puts on his retail smile and looks at her]

Hey! Lyon! Where are you off to in such a cloud?

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

I have to make sure the Prince is all right.

[This made Ken's smile falter. If Lyon was worried about her Prince like that, it may mean that she had received a letter as well. This wasn't good. She was too young for this shit. Maybe.

Maybe he was just reading into it too much.]

I see...you be careful out there.

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

You too, okay?

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

I will. I gotta be. I promised Miakis I'd hook back up with her later at Ceaser's.

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

...So you're really going to go through with it, then?

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

[Ken sighed] We'll see. [He's determined to do it, but the doubt is still there]

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

Well... I'm sure you have your own reasons.

[She can't really judge Ken, what with barely knowing him and all.]

[Ken smiled crookedly at Lyon.] You'd better scoot. I don't want you caught up in this any more then necessary.

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

Right. Be careful out there, then.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

You too. Miakis would be sad if you bit it.

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, I won't.

[Ken thought of something, and held up a finger to indicate Lyon should wait. He walked into the kitchen, and then came back a few minutes later with two candy bars.]

There. Sugar for the road.

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

[Lyon smiles a little, taking the candy bars gratefully.]

Thanks, Ken.

You're welcome Lyon. Good luck.
