Taking time out of their busy schedules of performing was a rare treat, and while they were coming close to closing night, the week off from performances were a welcome break. While her real intention of getting them all out was to get one person away from the theater: Ichiro Ogami. Preparations were being made even this far in advance, and she did not want to risk him finding out, being as perceptive (see: nosy) as he could be.

She had other reasons for wanting to head up to the mountains herself. It was written that mountains such as these were an ideal place to train ones mind and body, and she could go for some fresh air. She also wanted to work on helping Takeshi and Ken get over whatever animosity they seemed to hold for one another.

Reaching the foothills after a day of hiking, Sakura stretched. "Ahh, it feels good to get out and do some walking, doesn't it?" Says the one who doesn't have the pack with their tents and most of the supplies; that would be Mister Ogami.

"...Oh, it wasn't too bad. We weren't far from the city and the part of the forest where we were wasn't very dangerous. My mom was Enlightened, too - even the wild Pokemon loved her."

He speaks fondly. Lucas had preferred the forest to the city, too, to be honest.

"It feels like the world is so big from here. I could point anywhere -- " He points off towards the north. "And we wouldn't have any idea what was past the horizon there."

[flowerofsendai]

Sakura smiled warmly. "Do you still live outside of the city?"

Looking where Lucas pointed, she nodded. "It does, doesn't it? I hope that one day we can find out just how big it is, but it's hard to say when that will ever happen."

[a_gentle_boy]

"Oh -- No, I live with my grandfather now. He's always been inside of Union. ...I think he'd probably prefer to be out there, too, but he was happy enough letting my mom do it."

Lucas will keep his gaze out on the horizon.

"...I bet people have been saying that for a long time. I bet a lot of people have sat here and thought it."

A slight pause.

"Oh - I didn't mean that to sound like it was bad or anything. Just..." He smiles. "I hope it does."

[flowerofsendai]

She shakes her head. "It's all right, I know what you mean. You're a very thoughtful boy, Lucas."

[a_gentle_boy]

"Ah -- thanks."

Lucas will glance down at his cup of tea now and reposition his fingers to clasp it a little more tightly. He soaks in the warmth...

"Maybe... we should try to make it happen..."

[flowerofsendai]

Sakura looked surprised. It wasn't too common to find someone so young ready to do what others had hesitated to for generations; the idea was refreshing. She nodded, looking off in the distance as well. "Maybe we should."

[a_gentle_boy]

Lucas sips from the tea.

"Oh -- Sorry. I should probably get moving, right? Is there still a ways to go?"

[flowerofsendai]

Sakura shakes her head. "It's okay. We're not too far off, come on."

[a_gentle_boy]

"OK. ...Then, please lead the way!"

Lucas will smile and pat Dozer slightly on the head while following.

((I think this seems like a good place to stop!))
