They did their best to prepare, given the circumstances, but the transition from broad daylight to the darkness of the forest gives Akechi pause.

They know what to expect. They know about the fog, yet he can't shake the feeling of paranoia gnawing at him below the surface.

Shifting shadows, ominous sounds.

His eyes narrow in the haze, and he tries his best to beat some of it away with his wings, as he whips a Tailwind up around his teammates.

"Akari-san's flames should help us stay anchored in the fog, though we should stick to the shadows and, more importantly, stick together. Watch each other's backs and prepare for the worst."

The Tailwind nearly knocks him over. It distracts him from the creepy smiling faces he's hallucinating in the fog, but he still rewards Akechi with a nasty scowl.

"Stick to the plan. If any one of you- er, if any one of us screws it up, the whole thing falls apart," he says. There's a more than a hint of trepidation in his voice. If this does fall apart, there's no resetting, now.

Flowey sticks close to Ren. Although this is his first time meeting him (outside of getting a vague sense of him in Akechi's birthday research message), he trusts him if Akechi does. He would not admit this out loud, of course.

He's procured a few Blast Seeds for the mission. Most of them have been given to Akechi, but he insisted on keeping one for himself. It rests in the back corner of his mouth; he's very careful not to bite down on it or swallow it.

Flowey's become somewhat able to use roots to manipulate objects, but only barely; his best bet is to spit the blast seed at his opponent. As shapes twist and smile at him from the fog, he tries not to think about how his blast seed strategy reminds him of spitting out fruit seeds with Chara. Who knew that would be useful for a day when he no longer has arms?

He hops ahead, then realizes that he's landed himself in the middle of a giant paw track in the dirt. "We're getting close," he whispers, realizing that he's trembling.
