"I won't run again"

"You know, Rangers? Kaidwelyn? Forest Shadows? Jaegers?" He waited to see if any of those would spark some recognition, but the confused look on her face remained unchanged.

This... this was new. He'd yet to run into someone so eager to hear about what he was or where'd come from. It actually took him aback for a moment.

Still, maybe it wouldn't hurt to explain a little, it might feel good to have someone who knew.

He cast another glance in Kasumi's direction, noting how she was still too injured to move.

"I'm afraid I can't do that. See, she's far too interesting to just let slip away for good~" Now if only she were able to unleash that immense power locked away inside her. Would've made their earlier fight even better. Perhaps one day...

The change in their surroundings did soon catch his attention, and Toshiro's smile quickly widened.

"But I'm never one to oppose an offer~!"

It seemed he wasn't the only one that was faster than a regular human. Venix's own face showed none of the elation that his foe had. It was focused, stony and intense, with fire in his eyes pushed down by force of will.

"Why does everyone keep calling me that?" Venix stopped and turned towards the young woman. After a couple weeks in this city he had somewhat adjusted to it's hustle and bustle, no longer overwhelmed by simply going down the streets, and able to pick out when someone was talking about him.

"Not an...elf? But your ears..." she was going to be flustered that he heard her, but the curiosity about what a ranger was made her more curious.

"You know, Rangers? Kaidwelyn? Forest Shadows? Jaegers?" He waited to see if any of those would spark some recognition, but the confused look on her face remained unchanged.

"What are they thinking, putting me in this outfit? It shows far too much skin. If an assassin wanted to cut me down, they would have many ways." grumbled the blonde, standing near a party going on in a shimmering golden dress.
