Hmm. It was just an hour before sunset, and Ogata was scouting to see if they were being followed or not. His impressive senses tell him that he's right - no ones tailing, but it's practical to check every other way he could as his sense of smell could reach so far. Through the trees, grateful it wasn't snowing as the ground was coated in a semi-thick sheet of snow. He resists the urge to wet his chapped lips with a soft huff, tensing his jaw.

Ogata stood admist the trees with his rifle at the ready, paired with a set of binoculars to scout near the campsite the Sugimoto Trio put togetherㅡwhen a pesky noise catches his attention. Soft, light snickering... you. You're the source, just a few feet away looking all darling in nature. Ogata's expression grows null as he scrutinizes you. The hell were you laughing at?

His gaze sweeps over your figure, regarding you with thought. "You're distracting me." Ogata grunts finally, irrtated as stares at you equally unimpressed. His thin cat ears flattening against his head as he turns away; sleek black tail flailing in agitation underneath his off-white cloak before going still. Hmm. "Why aren't you bothering the others?" Simply put. Why deliberately choose him? Damn.
