Everyone had come together, if even begrudgingly.

That was a start.

With bringing all* of them back to regroup at the forest's edge, Kai stood recessed somewhat out of the way. Half the group had a bit of an attitude while the other half seemed a bit shaken up but everyone seemed willing to listen. The blonde boy, whom she had learned to be known as Ares would speak up and extolled the concept of them sticking together. The albino whose name was Liara would then speak up to point out all of their capabilities while deliberately failing to name her own. Liara's description of Kai's abilities were apropos for what she had seen but quite there, but then again, it could have been subjective for everyone since nobody had seen everyone fight in but one or two circumstances. Duly noted.

Nobu was the next person to speak up, and he sounded all the way flustered, but Kai took in all of what he said just the same since he was stressing that they work together. Kai agreed, and when the eldest girl, named Kyo had spoken up, she covered all the other points that needed addressing. And last there was Inari, who had might actually prove to be one of their biggest assets for precognitive sensing, and in a place like this that was so unpredictable, they'd need all the handicaps they could get. So next, Kai came forward to speak.

"Well then. I think now that we have all calmed down some and understand what can happen, we know better and will do better. So if I may?" Kai now stepped to the center of the formation while glancing over to the arrangement of sticks she had gathered and positioned before her mission to gather people. The shadow of the three smaller sticks were pointing to the right and slightly up, meaning they were about 40 degrees northeast, and with the shadow of the largest stick not yet intercepting the rightmost stick itself, that told her it was still relatively early. Taking note of that, she looked to the others.

"We have some options on what to do right now and I have an idea of how to make it happen." Assuming they still let her have the floor, she nodded curtly and kept going. "We have at least four more hours of daylight, which is a fair amount of time for us to cover some ground, but I think we all need to see the layout and get an idea of what we have to face before we move. I can get all of us up in the air and can probably cover some distance that way. But I'll need help from all of you. Would you be willing to try?" Kai looked all seven of her associates in the eye to see what they'd say.
