[Genji nodded, his hand slipping from Hana's shoulder as he turned to examine their surroundings. Jungle, jungle and more jungle... At this point, the most they could do was pick a direction and start walking. Hopefully they would hear a fight before they stumbled into an ambush.
A flick of his wrist, and three shuriken were flipping out from their place in his arm, slipping smoothly between his knuckles. The lights of his armor flickered and went out, stealth mode engaged as he started off through the brush with Hana behind him. Despite his condition, it was instinct to lead the way; Hana was younger and unused to being outside of his mech. Genji wanted to be the first target anyone aimed at in case they ran into Talon.
He kept an ear out for any noises in the jungle aside from the wildlife, anything that might notify him to the presence of enemies - or allies. He couldn't even be certain that anyone was around, but he needed to hope. Otherwise they would be in far more trouble than Genji had predicted. He kept them to the brush, tracing a careful path in an attempt to make as little noise as possible, until -
a crack. A twig broke not far from them, the sound sending a flock of birds in the treetops into flight at once. Genji halted immediately, holding an arm out to stop Hana, keeping them hidden within the underbrush. Watching as a Talon squad emerged, four soldiers in tac gear, communicating only through hand signals. Genji felt himself tense, his free hand instinctively moving for the hilt of the shorter blade on his back.
That confirmed one thing, at least. Talon was present here.]
