>Have a moment to glance around, and give her a few to either get back together or show up somewhere else.
>Focus. Did we feel the wind Ranka left with us to flow in any specific direction? Is there any trace of her wind remaining?
>Getting nowhere, you have a quick look around just to make sure she hasn't popped up somewhere else. The two Prismrivers and Leraije are now missing, leaving Yuzuriha alone at the gate. Well, nearly alone, as Sloth is still where she was the last time you looked, but she appears to have dozed off in the meantime. You're not entirely surprised about that. Further down the Keep' wall to the west, you spy Honoka standing near Sabine and Celes, the latter of which is mounted atop a dark grey horse with flaming hooves. None of them seem to be paying attention to your conversation with Ranka, nor does the wind spirit herself appear to be in evidence anymore.
>But just because you can't see her doesn't mean she's gone. The breeze Ranka stirred up felt like a localized gust, one that didn't really go anywhere, just sort of stirred about in one area. And it has died down completely, only a few faint flecks of snow mar the air now. But you're a tengu, you're connected to the air yourself, so you might be able to sense her. Maybe that's what she was going for, you wonder idly, as you focus your senses outward. Although you can sense nothing out of the ordinary, you do hear Ranka's giggle. "That's more like it." she says in a pleasant tease. You're a bit relieved that she didn't just up and leave, but not being able to tell where she is or where her voice is coming from is slightly annoying.
