"Of course I would. Leaving an ally to handle their troubles alone is something I would never do if I'm able to. It is in our best interest to always assist each other."
Plus working with one another out of combat would improve their cooperation in combat simultaneously. +
Xander
“You would help me sort this all out?”
*Hearing this, Kaze can’t help but look up at Xander and smile*
“Thank you. You are very kind.”
*Actually, come to think of it, maybe he could even give something or another in there to Xander himself. Would he appreciate that…?*
Kaze | Suzukaze
"Hm. Inventory management. Come, we'll make our way directly to the storage then. We can get things sorted there for you and hopefully that will be enough to alleviate you of your troublesome worry."
At least for the time being. Though it is quite frustrating all of these women cannot take a hint.
Xander
*Kaze is clearly relieved for it; if things had gone on like this, his arms might’ve started cramping, even. Now, as for where this is all headed…*
“Most of these are for inventory, so I mean to start there. The others, um…”
*He’ll just sort these out one by one after the inventory stuff*
Kaze | Suzukaze
"Ah- wait there. Allow me to assist you."
Without waiting for an answer, Xander lightens his load by taking a few of his items. Craftily storing them within pockets of his armor and coat to make it easier. He's lifted more.
"Where do you wish to carry all of this?"
Xander
"I was just doing errands in the nearby marketplace... There must have been a sale I had not noticed. I couldn't refuse, and now..."
*Look at all this haul he can hardly handle on his own. Oh, well. He'll try to head back with all this in tow anyway*
Kaze | Suzukaze
Walking past after his training, he has to give pause upon noticing the... abundance of gifts held within the arms of the ninja, gaze sliding over them.
"You have quite a lot of items in your arms, Kaze...did you receive all of these from maidens?"
He heard of the rumors but he didn't believe...
Xander
*He’s carrying a variety of gifts on his arms, stunned expression on his face*
“…I don’t *mind,* but what exactly did I do to receive all this…?”
