Ninjas and Lancers and Dragons, oh my

[ there are very few things that can break through Judith's cool, but she's very, very protective of her former home. Mt. Temza was not meant to be intruded upon, especially when she knew there were still people who desired the Entelexeia. She'd never once forgotten that Ba'ul was constantly at risk.

And it's why she's fighting so fiercely now, fighting to kill if he persists, where she might otherwise find joy in a good challenge. Her method of fighting isn't fair. She aims to knock her opponent to the side, to leave lasting injuries, to evade and flip and gouge and slash-- but he's fast, feral, and she hasn't stayed unharmed from this encounter. Truth be told, she's bleeding rather heavily down one arm, another injury dripping into one eye from a gash beneath her bangs. ]

... I won't say it again.

[ she pauses to catch her breath. ]

Leave.

I do not see how it could be missed.

[ It is not flattery; only complete honesty. ]

[brbwalking]

Let's just say they're looking at his other qualities.

[monkeyjump]

Such as what?

[ Clueless! ]

[brbwalking]

... You really don't know. [ she seems almost surprised. ] You haven't run into a hunting guild yet?

[monkeyjump]

No, I have not heard of them.

[brbwalking]

They make their living hunting monsters... more or less. Ba'ul seems to count as the big prize to them.

[monkeyjump]

[ The very thought makes Sasuke scowl. ]

Prize? Slaughter them they would for their own pride?

[brbwalking]

And for money, yes.

[ she's not so happy herself. ]

[monkeyjump]

What beasts!

[brbwalking]

I thought you were one of them.

[monkeyjump]

Quit understandable, then, your vehemence was.

[brbwalking]

I don't usually befriend the people I fight, though! It was a nice opportunity.

[monkeyjump]

...neither do I. Oddly pleasant it is.

[brbwalking]

It's nice to know the person you're punching in the face, after all.

[monkeyjump]

...in some cases.

[brbwalking]

I might just be lucky.

[monkeyjump]

...

[ He glances down at Ba'al. ]

... I am as well, perhaps.

[brbwalking]

... He feels the same, if you were wondering.

[monkeyjump]

...it gladdens me to hear it.

[ dokidoki ]

[brbwalking]

It's a pity you couldn't meet the others.

[monkeyjump]

Indeed. Enjoyed that, I would have.

[brbwalking]

Times change... not always for the better.

[monkeyjump]

True that is. Lucky I am, however, to have met him alone.

[brbwalking]

... You're an odd one.

[monkeyjump]

...perhaps.
