[Considering her awful nature and all that, it's surprising how long it's been since she's fought a daemon on her own. But everyone else was asleep back at the inn and even if she was supposed to be taking a peaceful walk outside, it wasn't like she was just going to run. She'd devour this daemon just like any other. Or so she thought, until some weird guy popped up and started fighting the daemon with her. There wasn't time to talk then, and she focused on her target instead. Still, he couldn't be an exorcist. He wasn't a Bloodwing either, so what? A mercenary?

As the daemon falls to the ground, she approaches it. Her arm bursts from its wrappings, quickly consuming the monster. All too casually, she looks to to her apparent savior.]

That wasn't necessary.

[She spits out, but it's not the rudest of greetings at least.]

Who are you.

[ his disinterested glower becomes something of a smirk as she speaks. it's not exactly what one would call friendly, and seems to borne from amusement more than anything. ]

I'm aware.

[ what a strange world, he thinks. ]

Don't ask as though it matters. I've no place in this world. More importantly: you're not human, right? You're nothing like any of the others I've come across.

[breaksouls]

I asked you a question. I don't care whether or not it matters. Answer me.

[Still no place in this world? She'd wonder if he was a malak, but he seems to know nothing about the daemonblight. How lucky for him.]

So you noticed? I'm a daemon. The same as the one you just fought, the same as any daemon. If you value your life, you'll answer me.

[lohengrins]

Hah! Your bravado is endearing. Your kin are usually more subtle than this.

[ he furrows a brow. demon. nothing like the sort his family had contracted with, it seemed. she looked young -- and she certainly acted the part! ]

I owe you nothing. If it's a fight you desire, I'll be certain to provide.

[breaksouls]

You don't know anything at all, do you?

[Velvet raises her arm, the bloody mass twitching as she prepares to strike.]

I am Velvet Crowe, the Lord of Calamity! I'll devour anyone who gets in my way!

[But before she can do any devouring, her arm transforms back to normal as she turns around.]

Consider yourself lucky for now. You can run away, tell the Abbey I'm here, I don't care. But if you're not going to cooperate, I'm not wasting my time on a human who will barely fill me up.

[lohengrins]

[ he simpers at the sight of her arm -- or rather, the mass it's now become. disappointment washes over him as she turns around. ]

Yes, I'm fortunate. To be at the mercy of a teenager parading as a demon...I don't know how I'll ever repay you.

[ trees block their path from a short distance. he takes a pronounce step ahead of her, his sword now in hand, and burns their surroundings to the ground in a single, fluid motion. ]

Oh, that should be enough I suppose. More importantly: I have a question. Who is this Abbey you speak of?

[breaksouls]

You think this is a joke? What human girl has an arm like mine?

[She's surprised as the trees burn down, but not enough to warrant anything more than the raising of her eyebrows.]

The Abbey. You have the powers of an exorcist, and you don't know what the Abbey is? Don't tell me you're a witch or something like that. One is plenty for me.
