                         ”You know there isn’t much to discuss or tell from my side. It’s just work, work, work for me. Life as usual.” That was a full-blown lie, though Minato was relieved and curious— how did Misaka not hear about his second death just weeks ago? His name was all over the news for several days! Maybe she had an exam so she had to abstain from anything so she missed the news? “Well, now that we’re both here… Now what? Wanna go back to my apartment?”

     ⊰ ✄ ⊱ ❝... Is that so.❞ The short response was full with her not even having the slightest hint of trust over his words. Despite her reaction looking as if she was clueless, she knew something must have happened. True enough her studies had managed to actually force the Railgun to abandon her social life for once yet that doesn't mean she didn't hear rumors from her neighbors. If they had ever mentioned his name then she didn't even notice--deaths and alike always happened no matter what or where. ❝...? Sure, I suppose? I'll be free for quite a while anyway.❞

                        He was never one to skip around the bush, let alone be anything but blunt. “Well, it’s been a few months since we last saw each other. You told me to not see you so you can focus well on your studies in Ashinaka… How’s that coming along for you?”

     ⊰ ✄ ⊱ A light shrug before a light smile bloomed on her lips--not seeing him for a long while made her forget this quirk of him now of all things. ❝It's been doing better than I expected, I could get a hang of it now compared to before. Aren't you going to share how you're doing to me now? There's not much to tell at my side for now.❞

          ❝ But I’m thankful to be alive. I want to fulfill my promise to them. Please don’t tell to anyone what I’ve said, it’s a secret, and.. They don’t deserve to be worried again. ❞

     ⊰ ✄ ⊱ ❝It's okay if you want to cry once in a while, no one will blame you for that--it just makes you feel stronger than before so let it out if you need to. Alright, it's a promise between the two of us, okay?❞

          【۞】     She simply offered the other a cunning smile, amber optics fixating their gaze upon the brunette before her…had no one taught her to never go places that would be considered the unknown? Who know’s what you would encounter? So many outcomes of such a situation. A sigh made it’s exit from her lips, glass hitting against the ground with every step she made, slowly approaching the other until she was in a reasonable distance away. Her voice leaving her as she spoke calmly towards the other.           ≮ “Well, that certainly would put one to rest. But whether you mean’t harm or not…doesn’t bother me.” ≯      A sense of over confidence emitting from the woman, a smirk remaining upon her complexion, she could almost let out a chuckle if she wasn’t trying to keep up such a territorial composure, however it was interesting…to see her looking so lost in this place…it just proved to be rather entertaining.           ≮ “Were you not taught to not venture into whatever is the unknown. Now run along sweetheart…you wouldn’t want to get involved in something that you don’t need to concern yourself with.” ≯      Keep up a polite but firm façade, unless she proves to be a troublesome girl…then it’s best to keep things on the calm level.

     If those words were meant to scare her off then someone should really tell her that it was just imposing a side effect on her. Instead of having her composure wavering from the remarks made, all the brunette did was replying them silently with a stern gaze, seemingly quite offended with a slight mixture of anger in her expressions. If it weren't for the fact that she was actually at someone's space, she would have knocked some sense into her from the start the moment she started saying such things to someone who she just met. Talk about manners, this woman in front of her has none of those.      ⊰ ✄ ⊱ ❝You have my gratitude for believing what I said without asking for any kinds of proofs whatsoever because normally, others would.❞      Everything about the other was unsettling at her point of view, not only the way she talks and her attitude screamed that she was a highly suspicious stranger she met. Even if the Railgun didn't show it, she really did want to leave this place as soon as possible--especially with the choice of words she was using did make her feel as if something bad was going to happen.      ⊰ ✄ ⊱ ❝I'm not the right person to judge whatever your wicked plan is but if it's something that could bring calamity anywhere, I won't hesitate to stop you even if it's none of my business whatsoever. Knowing something fishy happening here is something but I doubt your goals are anything near in bringing good outcomes.❞      It didn't matter if she was now officially involved with this matter but she couldn't just let it slide like that. Now her earlier words are to no valid before she automatically went to her stance--being alert whether the latter was going to do anything to her.

            ❝ …. What are you talking about? ❞

     ⊰ ✄ ⊱ ❝You know exactly what I'm talking about--I don't know what you faced when you were a child but it even so, you shouldn't let it show that it bothers you a lot. Whatever happened to you, there's always a reason behind it. Any of the sacrifices made are for you to be alive and be who you are today. Don't let them go to waste.❞

                                 ❝I-I am r-really sorry though!❞

     ⊰ ✄ ⊱ ❝Don't worry about it, okay? I'm not mad at all.❞

          【۞】     Upon walking through one of the warehouses, housing countless amounts of dust, examining the vast collection she’s had that orange haired criminal gather for her…a smirk was the only expression she could pull. In Cinder’s mind, everything seemed to be falling into place…it was just a matter of time before her plan was fulfilled…just as long as no one got in her way.      But in saying that, the moment she turned a corner…there stood girl who never walked through the huntresses line of sight…what possible reason could she have being here? With a sigh, glass heels made contact against the ground, approaching the girl before calmly speaking out.           ≮ “Hmm? How interesting…you seemed to be a little lost darling?” ≯

     She knew she shouldn't have trusted anything that screams concerning the fact today was a wonderful day to be on a walk under the gentle breeze of the wind. The sun shone brightly yet it meant nothing when she was left astray at a seemingly deserted place and did anyone even bothered checking in with the abundant amount of dusts here? The brunette had to admit, this seemed nowhere near to any of the cities she had visited prior to her lost here.      A light jolt before she quickly spun around, clearly taken aback with the sudden greeting she heard from behind. Maybe she was actually intruding someone's storage place before she nodded slightly, slightly trying to regain back her normal composure. How did she not even noticed the latter entered in the first place was beyond her mind. Also, the way she called her darling did manage to creep her out a little.      ⊰ ✄ ⊱ ❝Seems that way to me, sorry if I seem like I'm intruding but believe me when I say I mean no harm to you.❞

            “You all are just too brash and arrogant that’s all, tch.”             A light click of a tongue escaped his lips, of course, this isn’t just her who is arrogant and always cause so much trouble in just a day. It’s all of them, the entire red clan if he could say. Of course, it’s much annoyance if he should deal with him because things were never good with him.           “Breaking free from prison won’t do any good either, the captain will deal with you.” He’s not sure if that’s an advice or an info, but the raven haired know to well that this would probably finish in like 50 minutes if she stays quiet. 

     ⊰ ✄ ⊱ ❝Also stop reading my mind, it's creepy and totally uncalled for. You're not a psychic in the first place.❞ Apparently all she could do now was just surrender against her will and wait until someone lets her out from the dreaded place. If she knew this would happen then she wouldn't have bothered with the man.

            “A normal person wouldn’t electrocute a person just because she got provoked.              Normally, they ignore them and walk to the crowded streets.”               Not that he’s going to admit it but he would actually blast them off whenever he’s not dealing any kind of matter, but that rarely happens though, not only because he’s at the office most of the times and probably he’s the third-in-command of Annex 4. “Try to escape and you’ll probably going to have a bigger problem than the Scepter 4.”              Oh he knows, how terrifying the red’s bartender is when he’s mad. 

     If things get worse, she's breaking free from the prison one way or another.

           What is she? A five year old? Well, to him, most of the red clan are just a bunch of crybaby kids in the first place so this isn’t something new now. He pretty much understand the whole situation though, the red clan was known with their temper shorter than a mosquito’s lifespan so the unconscious man must have pull a string or two—it’s not that hard to be honest.             “Whatever, both of you are still going to be under the custody.” 

     ⊰ ✄ ⊱ ❝What I did was completely normal when provoked, anyone would                      do the same thing in my position.❞
