Dancing on the Palm

Maebi's lips parted but she was unable to find any words. In her presence what fear did Klautz have? That was what she thought. His backing away seemed illogical.

"We are leaving? Aren't we going to continue further?" Maebi asked.

Maebi was confused. She had no idea why Klautz wasn't continuing when he was doing rather good so far.

Maebi knew that Klautz wasn't strong enough to face the dangers that lie ahead.

'But he shouldn't know that,' she thought.

Maebi squinted her eyes.

Maebi wanted Klautz to continue more than anyone. Not because she wanted Klautz to be killed rather she wanted Klautz to be pushed to his absolute limits!

Maebi wanted to know where Klautz's limits lie. What kind of strengths did he possess? Her instinct told her that there was more to him than what he showed.

Klautz shrugged.

"Since when did kunoichis start to question their client's decisions? Continuing or not, that's my own personal discretion."
