R-rats? Of that size?! [He glances towards Sakura and then back towards the rats.]
Remain calm and focus! We can't just stand here... [He starts to dig through his backpack frantically for something that can help him, even as the giant rats swiftly draw closer.]
[Whatever Byakuya hopes to try, Sakura prays he does it, and quickly. She's barely got her bow in position now that the shock has lessened, though once a rat comes dangerously close to nipping on her skirt, she flies back another few steps and nearly bumps into her friend]
[Oh she smells it, the sweet scent of mass produced carbs, nachos, and sugar, and dumbly takes the bag when it's held out to her. Give a second, she'll catch on--]
O-oh!! [AH THERE IT IS. And she'll move quickly after that, stabbing the plastic with an arrow before she shoots it off. It won't go as far as a weightless arrow, but far enough that the rats eagerly scurry off into the distance]
Well done, Sakura! [He says with a proud grin. She managed to carry ou the operation precisely as he had imagined it!] That snack is like a drug to them. It will keep them busy, but not for long. We have to move!
[With that, he starts to run - so long as Sakura runs as well!]
[She... she can't believe that worked, actually and would stand there gawking at her success if Byakuya didn't encourage her to move. With an abrupt jolt, Sakura follows after, a hand still tight on her bow]
Byakuya leads the way!! Tapping into the power of his goggles, he manages to move around dangerous-looking areas and eventually come to what seems to be a safe spot, at which point he stops to catch his breath.]
[She's been working out for a couple of months by this point, and yet still she's ready to collapse in a heap when they finally stop running. With a slight heave, she bends over and rests her weight against her knees.]
I... I hope so...!
[There's a high note of adrenaline in her voice, followed with a giggle]
That was amazing, Byakuya-san. I never would've thought of that...
[It's quite the workout indeed. While he catches his own breath, he can't help but crack a smile at her reaction.]
Thank you. That's why I'm the leader. In times of crisis, decisive action is called for. And I happened to know what those beasts craved above all else... But I never could have accomplished that without you, Sakura.

Sakuraaaa
[Even Byakuya is startled as he realizes it.]

O-okay, I'm -- I have my bow!
[Nock the arrow, nock the arrow--!]
no subject
Can you fire something that's not an arrow?
[He takes out a bag of doritos, opens it and holds it out to her.
The rodents immediately perk up at the nachoy smell.]
