[What did he do!! He does turn around, watching her zip up a tree— and then he actually comprehends the plan, and groans.]

For real? You're only getting away with this 'cause you're a kid!

[Or he would kick her ass, yeah!! Fine though, he turns back in the direction of the sound to wait for the geese... angry, blue, mutated geese, coming up fast all of a sudden.]

What the hell—?! [is he going to try to punch a bird STAY TUNED (yes)]

[Sorry, Okuyasu. She only does this because she believes in him at least?? She flashes him a sheepish grin before he gives in and faces the oncoming geese.

Thankfully, Emma is a frightfully good shot. Their path is predictable so she lets loose an arrow and it pierces the leading goose straight through the heart. One down, and many more suddenly very agitated. She manages to down a second right as they converge on Okuyasu.

Is that fire? Oops.]

Oh shit—!

[That's fire indeed, and that's Okuyasu, shouting and throwing himself out of the way of fucking fire. He turns toward Emma's tree - or the one he thinks she went up, he might be a few off - and shakes a fist at it, all the while dodging away from FIRE and angry bird beaks.]

They're supposed to be geese, not little shit dragons!!

[ARGH]

[He is, in fact, off by two and it's proven when another arrow zips out to take out the fire breathing goose. Or, well, one of the fire breathing geese. She only has a finite damage per second when reloading a bow.

Maybe she really should have brought the gun along.]

I didn't know about this! It was your idea!

[Legitimately! He should have scouted this out first!!]

Don't turn your back on them!

I can't face two ways at once! [He's already nearly surrounded, here... what ever can he do to stop these geese getting up in his face with their fire breathing?

Something goofy, wait for it; he summons The Hand and looks right at the correct tree this time. It's serious!!]

I got an idea! Get ready!

[The Hand scoops up a goose and throws it like 20 feet in the fucking air. It's a bird, but still.]

Pull!

[That's why she was implying he stay looking at the geese and not her! Thankfully, the use of The Hand saves his ass from murderous geese. Despite the craziness she reacts to the thrown bird as if this was the plan from the start.

Bam- right through the heart once again and it's falling right back down.]

Focus on the fire breathing ones!

[Like that really needs to be clarified. Whatever, it's still easier to bandage scrapes from beaks compared to burns.]

[maybe he wants to get set on fire, because that's an okuyasu theme

No, alright, he's not even going to catch that shot goose- gross- instead focusing on dodging the sprays of fire and taking the geese out. He punches at least one bird right in the face, which is as liberating as it is stupid.

Eventually, the remaining geese just... go... they've probably got four or five geese here to super eat. Okuyasu, slightly singed, rolls one off his shoe and grimaces. Ew......]

[Geese are very smart creatures, while vicious they can spot a losing battle.

Emma jumps down from the tree now that the coast is clear. There's a mix of worry and excitement on her face. The excitement is clearly because of their victory over the mutant geese. The worry becomes obvious when she grabs Okuyasu's hand.]

You're okay? I wasn't expecting that at all!

[She wouldn't have ditched him down there if she had expected fire!!]

[Little child, how could you ditch him like that? How? Okuyasu takes quick stock of himself - not bleeding, as far as he can tell, so that's a plus, but she definitely owes him some dorky patches on his pants from the fire.]

I'm good, I'm good. We got a bunch!

[She feels the betrayal. The fire geeze betrayal. The patches are a given at least. They will be fun colors just for him.]

Really? No burns or scratches? We need to fix you up right away if there is!

[We don't have insta-heal Josuke here yet. No need to let a gross goose bite get infected.]

[Thank you... this patchy reimbursement is acceptable.]

I'm good, chill out. C'mon, we gotta move these before more show up!

[Emma frowns but she will accept this brush off. Fire is dangerous, okay!

But first I hope Okuyasu is ready for something completely unexpected.]

Ah- Wait! This will just take a second.

[Emma lines the geese up on the ground before her, kneels, and clasps her hands in front of face. Surprise! She's praying in thanks for their sacrifice. She doesn't expect him to join her but of course she didn't say anything before doing this.]

[This is so unexpected it doesn't even rank on the list of things he might have expected-- it's just not there. This is an impossibility. He's pretty sure he's imagining this.

She is. Praying. Over these geese.]

...Hey, uh, no offense, but can we make this quick?

[Maybe, sometimes, cultures can be different??? Praying over animals is a very normal thing people do right away. Just be glad there isn't the special demon flower necessary for the complete ritual here.

Emma looks up from kneeling.]

I'm done. [Be thankful she isn't the type to ask someone to do something they don't believe in.] I just want to show the geese how thankful I am for giving its life. Just because we need it doesn't make it passing any less sad.

[Even if it... breathed fire on them. Life is still precious! But she's picking them up because bleeding them to preserve the meat is also important.]

[Nah, it's still weird, they are just dead birds.]

It was trying to burn me to a crisp! You're lucky I didn't kick it while it's down.

[But here, he's stooping to pick up some floppy dead birds himself. Gross...]

That would just hurt the meat. [Just practically speaking.] Anyway it was just doing the same as us. Except a little more aggressive.

[I'm so sorry for this child and her pure belief that every life is precious. She's a shonen hero and she can't help herself. Okay, geese gathered let's get out of here.]

Yeah, yeah, whatever you say.

[Could he more blatantly not believe this shonen nonsense? Probably not. Anyway off they go to finally get some nice goose dinner, and they failed this quest anyway so it's a hollow food victory. Sad!!]

[Well, she isn't the type to push it! Live and let live. They are off to enjoy some hella nice goose dinner and a failed quest.]
