Soubi shook his head, "I don't know if we are or not, Ritsuka. I think we should assume its a test until we get more evidence otherwise. The Seven Moons have done strange things before. As for where we are... I don't know. But I don't think it's japan. What buildings I have seen look more like those found in American movies. They're too spread out."

He finished the sketch of what little he'd already explored and looked around at the ground, noticing a strange streak of blood. Exactly like the one he had seen from where he had first appeared. It led off in the same general direction as well. Soubi pointed at it, "The others that responded may be hiding this way. I saw another blood track like that earlier. If they are killing things to eat, then its likely those were created by the dead animals being dragged off."

Soubi adjusted his glasses and tucked his sketch pad under one arm reaching out for Ritsuka's hand with the other, "We can follow this for now and if we encounter any hostilities I will protect you. It's easier to fight with a spell battle against those who don't know what they are or how to use them. Unless you have another idea?"

He wasn't asking rehtorically, Soubi would defer to Ritsuka's plan of action if he decided to present one. His ears remained up and his tail hung behind him as he waited politely for an answer.
