He walks without missing a beat, confident gait, smiling at whoever recognizes him as they pass by. Eventually, he leads the two of them to a relatively quiet area of the sheltered grounds, a canopy covered by trees and fires being put out by departing Voidtreckers slowly making their way back to the train. But it was populated enough still that two people making a brand new campfire wouldn't be much of an issue, so Roland plops himself down by a wayside log near the fire pit and waits for Tidus to follow. Bambosh reappears in front of the stone and twigs as Roland throws an arm forward, palm facing out. Bambosh squeals again in affirmation, and five to six smaller versions of itself appear beside the higgledy, only without the elaborate headpiece. They wave their tiny arms in the air, and the smaller creatures thin out as if they had become the fire that is now currently lit in front of the two men. Bambosh just resumes his place next to Roland's boot, quiet and minding its own business yet again.
He picks up another piece of driftwood somewhere nearby and throws it into the fire as he resumes their planning.
"Contingencies. We need backups for every scenario." His serious expression is amplified by the shadows the fire casts over his youthful visage. He's staring into the fire, words flowing easily. "And if we're not planning on telling anyone else on the train...then we have to be extra careful." He breaks his stare and silently gestures for the document again from Tidus.
"Let's officially call this little plan, Project Breadcrumbs. We are leaving things behind for the ministry to find. If they do." He throws Tidus a pointed look. "And before you call me anything for making up a name for this, it's just protocol to have a code name for a mission that only a few people are gonna know about. In case we have to talk about it in the open, then I'll know what you're actually saying."
