He couldn't help but give a little chuckle as the kids began chanting his name, circling him with giddy laughs. Their energy was so much different from anyone he had ever met before, and in a way he loved it, and also envied them for their pure childhoods. They were so young and carefree, and if it weren't for his own past, he wondered if he'd of been like them at the same age. Letting the kids run around with his scarf, the fabric fluttering in the wind, he crossed his arms over his chest and watched, a bit weary with allowing such a prized possession in their hands. Curiously, he dabbed at the paint on his face, though at this point it was already dried. It felt a bit odd to him, with the Pillar Men being more accustomed to jewels and such.

Genji had been sleeping peacefully, basking in the warmth Eury had been giving off. Feeling her stir beside him and muffled shouting in the background, his eyes fluttered open, sitting up to see she had already left. The closer he listened, he could hear his name being called by familiar voice as well as by the children of the Mountains. He stepped out of the tent, only to find the three Pillar Men standing before them. Esidisi seemed the most distressed out of them, but he assumed it was mostly Eury had disappeared in the night. The dried paint still clung to his face, though beginning to flake off. He wasn't sure what to say, so simply waved as a greeting.

Kars, without hesitation, jumped up from his seat and trekked alongside Esidisi. He had plaited his hair the night before, and although still a bit messy, it held tight, falling over his shoulder. He could understand why Esidisi would want to be swift about the recovery mission, but he sensed something else besides his mild panic, though he couldn't tell what. Desperation, perhaps, but for what? He studied the tanned man, trying to figure out his inner motives, but couldn't think of anything. Eury might've been one thing to drive him, although he was aware that Kars had claimed her. He doubted the panic would've been caused Genji, though he had his suspicions. The call of a horn beckoned him forth, and seeing that two pairs of footsteps lead towards the source, he assumed it must've been Eury's and Genji's, who had allegedly been following the noise.

Through a 7 hour journey, they had finally arrived, his gaze narrowing into a dagger glare as he began to pinpoint the figures walking amongst the settlement. They were obviously human, and in terms of physique were much more different than Genji. His body stiffened, preparing to attack them without hesitation, though paused when Eury had rushed up to him with a big grin on her face. His arms wrapped around her petite form, restraining a sigh of relief. He looked down to her, his lips pursed, "Why didn't you wake me up? Something could've happened to you." He said sternly, disregarding the elderly woman until she spoke. He frowned towards Kira, easily seeing that she was dead serious, although it appeared Eury couldn't see. He didn't trust the old woman.
