"I am the first elite of the Falcon Guild, Captain Kyujiro Nakamura," the figure responded, his voice carrying weight. "I am going to be taking you with me to my master, black-marked summoner Ryder."
The way Captain Kyujiro spoke Ryder's name made it sound like he was making a declaration, and Ryder was quite taken aback.
"Oh, flashy name!" Ryder gave a thumbs up, his voice carrying an almost manic cheerfulness that seemed completely inappropriate for the situation. "I find it surprising why I feel less dread in the presence of your entire guild than before you all ever came."
I wonder if this is Luxy's doing again, Ryder wondered. But if it is his doing right now, I am in support of it. It should be enough to buy some time for master Sung and the others to get here.
He began walking left and right in front of Captain Kyujiro, his movements like someone who's rambling under his breath and deeply reasoning.
