Waiting in anticipation as the ground nears, I stop playing around in the air and get into a landing position by stretching ure a nod A gust suddenly blasts us froain for a few oes on a few more times before we each land soundlessly behind different parapets at the roof of the fort I can still hear o That was intense! A buzz tickles e co the place, two have entered the rooa around a brazier The rest are probably inside” I take a deep breath to calm myself to focus on the tasks at hand I look at the chibi, puffy ninja besideintently at the brazier with a crowd surrounding it I retract my claws and slowly stalkup, just in case anyone shows up unexpectedly The roof is easily 40 htly narrower across Grabbing a few blocks of wood, that's cut out from a medium sized branch, from a pouch tied to akon gakon gakon A sudden gust of wind knocks pass the fort, I can hear the braziers andsqueak Some braziers must have tipped over since I can hear thethe floor and the sound of charcoal bouncing about Taking this opportunity, I throw the blocks of wood at the backgate ”bloody wind!” ”damn cheap firestands, couldn't these da heavier” ”Quit co and set it back up” ”Ah screw you too!
