It had been days since Ryo left Rogueport. With nothing but a few scraps to eat and no noteworthy supplies, he was feeling rather dispirited. And there was something he couldn't shake. An eerie presence that had followed him since his departure.
Turn around.
And the moment he did, he saw the child, Zac. His finger practically touching his nose, the child's haunting words sent a chill down Ryo's spine. "I'm not touching you." it said.
...So he's been following us. No matter. The kid's harmless enough.
"IT'S YOU!"
If I could sigh, I would. This trip has taken long enough as it is.

"I'm still not touching you." It was almost as if the child was taunting him, not even having a care that his main pursuer was right infront of him. Or maybe the kid was just insane. That could be it. He proceeded to wave his finger around in a circle, getting the slightest bit closer. It was almost innocent the way he acted. How disgusting.

Very disgusting. Ryo took him by the arm and whipped him at the ground. "Why do you insist on taunting me!? I let you go as a favor and you decide to follow me!?"
That's about the gist of it, but without malicious intent.

The youth continued to point with his other arm. He spoke. "Last I checked, pointy hair, you're the one not fully fulfilling your duties." The kid had a smirk on his face. It was doubtful he knew what he'd even said at that point.

Ryo just crossed his arms and frowned. "Do you want me to change that?"
Ooohh... This is what you're like when you're angry. How lackluster. I expected a goody goody like you to be a whole lot meaner.

"So where didja get that neat bracelet anyway?" Seemed the kid was all too comfortable around the man hunting him, not to mention out right ignoring him. He grabbed onto the bit of jewelry with a glimmer in his eye.

Naturally, Ryo jerked his arm away. "When you stole the sword! This is all your fault, you know!"
Always complaining about me... It's not like I'm thrilled to be stuck with you either.
"Well if you'd stop being so-Wait. We are not having this discussion in front of him."

"It's not like it ever considers my feelings!"
Why should I when you won't even attempt to meet me half way?
"Why are we still talking about this? We'll deal with it later. Anyway... Kid, just what do you want?"

"Yeah yeah that's nice. So yer headed home huh? Speaking of homes that hair of yours looks pretty spacious mind if I pick through it cause I bet it holds alot of secrets like this one time I was out surfing around and saw this dude pull a hammer out of his shirt I dunno how that's even possible plus there's so much in the world to discover that I mean you just gotta go exploring which is why I'm making sure to be a like a shadow because shadows appear in lots of places and blend into the night and I'm really great at taking things but the more I take the poorer I get which is weird because its all paradoxy and-"

Meanwhile, thirty yards away.
"You were certainly right, bracelet. Ditching him was the best course of action."
Naturally.

And then Zack got on Ryo's' shoulders and began picking through the Spearman's' hair.

Ryo just threw him to the ground again. "Stay out of my hair, kid."
'Get out of my hair' would have been a more acceptable phrase.

"As charming as this is, I think it's time to put an end to it," a familiar-sounding voice cut through the sound of the suddenly-silent jungle. Standing some distance away with a dark-skinned man in plain-looking clothes, with much of his body wrapped up in heavy bandages. Most of his face was visible, though some of the bandages were wrapped around the short-cropped black hair.
Only two details stood out--the black device resting over the eye nearest to the bandages, and the heavy medallion hanging from his neck, its metal charred, but still proudly displaying the symbol of the Korin.
The man's body seemed frame by a depression in the slight hill he stood on--as such, he still stood above the two bickering young men. His one good eye was glaring down at them hatefully, but a grin was still on his face.

The glint of the medal, the dark skin, and the horrible wounds. It was the leader of the thugs he had hit during his rampage. Thinking quickly, he grabbed Zac and flung him at the crook.
Huh... Good arm. You haven't done this before, have you?
"Not often."
