"Yo Sky, Takeshi going to ask Luna exactly when the party is going to be. You coming." asked Takeshi. Hearing Takeshi answer back to him, Sleif turned and simply said, "Sure!" before he continued to walk and crouch down as he exited the secret place, noticing that the once quiet spot he thought he would relax in, was now, like the miniature island, beginning to get crowded. Emerging back outside, Sleif looked around and suddenly stopped when he noticed Luna was a few feet ahead of him, talking with Tsubasa and Genji. For some strange reason, upon seeing her, Sleif suddenly felt really nervous and hesitant, something that he had never felt before. Hoping that she didn't see him. Slowly building up his courage, Sleif began to follow the pathway out form the secret place, a new sense for him, was to just leave so he could think all of this out.
Before he disappeared completely from sight however as he turned a corner, Sleif suddenly stopped as he noticed a small group of his friends moving towards the direction of the shack, one of them, who he could clearly see was Ryder, was holding someone in his arms. Sleifs eyes suddenly opened a tiny bit more when he saw that it was Lyric who was in Ryder's arms. Though he never really showed emotions to people, that didn't mean that Sleif didn't have any.
He felt kind of like an older brother to people who needed one, and so would always feel kind of protective. Lyric was one of those who everyone found being quite protective around, and Sleif wasn't any different. Keeping his sight on the small crowd, Sleif followed the path down onto the soft sand, and within a matter of seconds, was already reaching the front of the group. Clearly he stood out compared to everyone, but he didn't care, if Lyric was hurt he was going to make sure she was ok.
"Look, I don't know what happened to her either, but she is in bad shape, and we need to get her somewhere safe. I don't care what you think of me, for carrying her like this, as my intentions are nothing but to help her. I only want to get her to safety where she can rest, and recover. I can assure you my intentions are for the best. Now are you going to just attack me for helping someone, or are you going to open your hearts and show some compassion for her, and the person that was able to find her ?" Sleif could tell from the way Erika was talking, that she was thinking the worst had happened, though the tall teenager could tell that Ryder wasn't someone who would do that.
"All in all, I am taking her to the shack, to where she can lie down. After that, I will leave if you so want me to." Looking at the boy, Sleif knew that Ryder was a little enraged, and so he decided to speak before anything would get worse then they already were. "Erika! I know you are worried, but try to calm yourself! Acting like this, isn't going to help Lyric, now is it?" Sleif said to Erika as he continued walking with the group towards the shake, his voice sounding entirely serious in what he said, showing that he wasn't going to take anymore arguing from anyone. Immediately as Luna arrived and placed Lyric onto the ground, a sense of relieve washed over him, as she began to help her.
