*Kibaru's was wondering the forest, Body covered in wounds recently made. His open jacket showed his bare torso full of plenty new scars with a few bandages here and there. His cheek had a most noticeable scar. This was a warrior that lived by the blade and he had plenty of experience to show for it. He wore A snow white and fur lined coat for the winter, Black pants torn at the ankles. And brown boats having their own fur lining.*

*Kibaru had his bow out and his Katana to his side, busy walking the woods in search of prey. His mask was on his head behind his bright blue ears. And his most notable thing was probably his tails swirling behind him. It was difficult to work out just how many tails he had, but it was more than 4 that was for sure. They practically glowed in the winter snow like a beacon*
William
*Ivy's kitsune mask and dagger lay in between her crossed legs. She had her blackened hands up and a book floating in front of her. Thinking the woods would give her some privacy, she had started reading the ritual. Her shining blue eyes trained on the book she whispered under her breath. There was a deep black scar under her right eye. For those who knew, it was a mark of a demon.* 

*Her three tails were high and swaying to a breeze that wasn't there. Probably due to some weird magical reason. She was too deep in her book so she didn't hear the man coming a few yards in front of her. It would probably be easy to spot her because of her red hair which was broken up by her mostly black ears and tails.*
Elaine
*Kibaru would casually approach the Kemonomimi doing some kind of ritual. The Cold made her breath visible as she whispered and this made the Okamimi quite interested. And with a casual* "Hey" *He said being just a few yards from her* "What ya doing there stranger?"
William
*She flinched, the book falling to her feet. Looking up at him she froze for a moment before she spoke, her blue eyes trained on him.* "
I uh... A ritual... I'm learning something new.." 
*She wasn't sure if he'd react to her scar or not. She had learned previously that not everyone cared or really knew what it was. Either way she was uncomfortable.* 
"I thought I'd be alone... Am I in your hunting spot?" 
*She looked to his weapons on him, moving her dagger back to it's sheath and grasping onto the book.*
Elaine
"No worries. This forest isn't mine. But yeah. I guess this is where I commonly hunt." *Kibaru answered as he stepped closer towards her, clearly interested in her scar* "Mmm, How'd you get this beut?" *Kibaru asked almost in her face as he bent over to take a closer look with his tails slowly wagging from side to side*
William
*She pushed herself back a bit, grabbing her kitsune mask as she did so. Holding it and the book to her chest she looked him in the eye. She supposed he didn't know what it was, or he just had a weird thing with demons.* 
"A summon went out of hand... It didn't behave..." 
*She looked away now, for a moment almost lost in thought before talking again. Clearly trying to change the subject.* 
"What are you hunting for?"
Elaine
"Beautiful lost girls" *He said with a smile before backing off a little* "Jesting aside, I'm Just hunting for dear." *He said before placing his hand on his chin as he became deep in though for a few second* "A mis behaving summon... Usually one that leaves a mark like that... Some spiritual being maybe..." *Kibaru said thinking out loud before he shook off the thought and continuing his conversation* "And if I'm lucky I might catch a tiger Panther that's been misbehaving as of late"
William
*She looked surprised at his first words, not sure what to say. As soon as he spoke of her scar however she squirmed a bit, uncomfortable with his thoughts. Even she didn't want to think how she got it. Especially with how much of a pain it had been recently.* "That's a wide range of game there... Deer to tiger panthers" 
*She laughed, to try and clear her own uncomfortable energy and calm herself a bit.* 
"I'm assuming you hunt often around here then...?"
Elaine
"Well yeah. This is where I live after all... Well I don't live in the forest like some homeless person. That and My restaurant often needs meat as that is out main selling point. And it's cheaper to hunt myself every now and again rather than paying for old meat from other people" *Kibaru added as his tails became still behind him with his wolf ears flicking into a direction with him becoming silent all of a sudden*
William
*She looked in that direction and put her Kitsune mask back on. Continuing to hold the book to her chest with one arm the other went to her side, where her dagger was. She wouldn't have the best angle since she was sitting down but she didn't want to risk startling whatever it was by doing so. Her eyes focused on the area he was pointing, trying to see what he did.*
Elaine
"Eh, just some small game. A rabbit or... Weasel mayhap" *He said with a disappointing look to his face* "Sorry for the startle. Just never know when you're in the Jungle... Or forest in this case... I was attacked not to long ago after all... Not a very bright one that one" *Kibaru said with a chuckle* "Quite salty about loosing. Thought it was expected. She wasn't very experienced" *Kibaru added with a smile* "Was fun though"
William
*She nodded, not sure what to make of it all. It seems he went hunting with someone else before? Finally standing up she took off her backpack and put her book in. The black book had a red seal on it, and a bunch of gold symbols. The title started with N but he wouldn't see much more before she had slid it into her backpack.* 
"Rabbit is pretty good I think... But I suppose you are going for big game today? Are you having a feast?" 
*She titled her head a bit at her last question.*
Elaine
"No, It's like I said, I own a restaurant. Got allot fo mouths to feed, you know" *Kibaru said as he Relaxed before tilting his head at the book" *You said you do summonings, right... You also do necromancy?" *He asked with a raised eyebrow as he stared at her. Being around allot of people gave him the ability to distinguee liars*
William
*She opened her mouth for a moment and then nodded, a bit embarrassed she had forgotten that he ran a restaurant... Pretty big reason to get so much meat. She was surprised at him figuring what she did but maybe it was obvious? Sighing, a tad nervous, she nodded gaging his response. It wasn't usually worth it to lie to people about it...*
Elaine
*Kibaru frowned a bit as he gave a sigh* "I... See. Well that's unfortunate." *He said before turning as if expecting her to follow him* "Might I ask why?"
William
*She tensed up , her three tails now high and swaying slow.* "Unfortunate? I uh-" 
*She got her backpack back on and then swallowed, responding.* "I've always had an affinity for it... I assume you don't like that vain of magic?" *She looked him in the eyes, hers cautious.*
Elaine
"I am a hunter by trade and one by heart. And magic runs in my veins. I'm use to killing things and keeping nature in check and not upsetting nature's balance" *He said as he turned around to look at her* "Now tell me. How am I suppose to feel when all of a sudden magic is used to upset the natural cycle of death?" *Kibaru asked her with a questioned look*
William
*She felt a tang of nervous energy go through her. He was one of this belief... She wasn't prepared to deal with this. Where she was from most people accepted such a magic. She took a moment to take a breath in before answering as calmly as she could.* "I don't bring anything back that doesn't want to be... And I don't mean any unbalance by it..." *She stayed tense and kept her cool, not wanting a fight to come of this.*
Elaine
*Kibaru raised his arms to the sides* "Very few want to die. That's what makes life so precious to others and their selves" *Kibaru didn't seem to be aggressive, just making a point* "That is what I represent. Death being the finale journey. But adding another to it... That sounds like a painful existence to me. Never knowing when your journey will come to an end. But hey don't let me stop you. I am someone that kills for a living, and many believe that to be even more wrong"
William
*She nodded, grateful it didn't go much further. She hadn't had the best luck with some people so she was expecting the worst.* "Ah I see. I very much believe in reincarnation... Eventually the spirits will move into another... Most don't remember their past lives... If you want to call it that." *She smiled, looking to him in a very much calmed demeanor.*

*Then there was a noise to her left and her ears flicked towards it. She froze, unsure what it was. Turning slowly she looked to it.*
Elaine
"Yeah, That's the old Runra Believe I've heard about. I believe there's an afterlife howev-*With the sudden sound, Kibaru would do the same already having an arrow loaded onto his bow as he got low to see what it might be. Ready to shoot if it's prey*
William
*Her ears flicked, in the direction of the creature. It seemed to be bigger then a rabbit at least. She knew that Kepen probably didn't reside here but she couldn't help but first assume it was that. She slowly withdrew her dagger as the noise got louder, her whole body ready for whatever it was. In the distance was an outline of a big brown furry thing. A bear, snacking on a nearby berry bush.*
