With a bit of effort, Runeska and clone scaled up the cliff side, using natural niches and cracks within the rocky wall. Once they reached height of the cacti, to their surprise, they found there were at least to grall cacti with the fruit and flowers ripe for picking. These were slowly extracted and carefully deposited within their storage, for fear of losing footing, then damaging the fruit on their fall. After they were taken, they were already more than halfway up the cliff, so the executive decision was made to just continue climbing the rest of the way up, which took about another minute, given physical strength of body.
As soon as they emerged over the cliff side, the scenery changed. He hadn’t realized it, but it travelled a decent bit of distance. In fact, he was nearing the land of rivers. Here, the ground more much more luscious country side with grasses and trees, and other such ferns. Here, Runeska decided to check for apples trees. It’d be awfully convenient if he managed to find them. The search between him and his clone would be carried out in separate parts of the land, near, but away from each other. For a while, Runeska spent his time searching amongst the saplings and younger trees before searching for small trees, seldomly found any bearing fruit.
On the clone’s side of the search, the shadow clone decided search more methodically. He searched for trees that were larger than saplings and had matured, but not gigantic trees, something he could carry. He knew that the leaves should be simple ovals of moderate size, and at this time of the pink flowers should have faded and lost most of their vibrant color. So, that was what he looked for. In trees like these, the fruits should be nice and mature, perfect for consumption. Oh, was that an apple tree? If so, the clone would try digging it out a wide distance, then uprooting it without damaging the roots.
It was during that time when Akiko suddenly appeared, having tracked him down. Between him and the clone, they were both fairly loaded down in stuff, including the apple tree, if one had been found. “Oh now, it’s nothing, really. The wait gave me a chance to find a number of things I can only find in this region.” If he’d found an apple tree, he’d be holding it by this. With or without it, he was ready to back to the town, as apple trees could be found back home if he looked.
“My book? This one? Well yeah, sure. I’m not sure what purpose it would serve, but be my guest.” The book would be removed from his person and handed to her, where he’d allow her to copy it as they traveled back to the town. Once there, the Buredono kenseijin master had already boarded the ship they would be allowed upon. “So, here’s the deal Akiko. This merchant ship will give us passage back to Mizu no kuni, for free. In exchange, I’ll be helping out on deck. Also, we’ll assist in defending the ship from pirates, or other sea trouble. I hope that’s fine with you.” If it was, there was nothing else to do but to load everything and everyone on ship, Including Alexander, who still seemed to be busy on the other end of his existence.
