Puck slowly meandered through the crowded streets of Kazumaki City, a slight clinking noise accompanying his steps in the wind. The sun reflected off his witch hat, accentuating the various potions, herbs, and charms dangling from it. His eyes were looking around, his attention on the different buildings before him but his mind elsewhere.

His staff was firmly gripped, the tip touching the ground as he walked, its length rising almost as tall as himself. It swayed gently with his steps, as if it was a part of him rather than an accessory he was carrying.

The swordsman was yet again Kazumaki, even though a wanted criminal with one of the highest bounties - most already considered him dead for the most part, but those who had seen him already knew the truth. He wandered the streets in search of his old crew members, with his face mostly hidden with a scarf and his left eye covered with an eyepatch. Although, it was more or less visible that he was quite suspicious, but as the streets were all crowded with many people - he was just another Joe.

As he continued, he soon would cross paths with a man in a witches hat, who completely wasn't looking where he was going, but Kaito didn't move out the way as he expected the man to move out for him. And so, he just walked through and pushed the guy away with his shoulder:
﻿
**"Next time watch where you're go-"**

A witch... It crossed through Kaito's mind and he realized it - that man was in grave danger. It was pretty obvious that the Kazumaki looked down upon witches and he started to see the crowd slowly turning their attention toward the man. Kaito quickly grabbed the man's hat and with his other hand took him by the collar before quickly shoving him off into a more secluded alley.
﻿
**"Are you some buffoon? Do you realize that all the citizens here hate your kind? You have some deathwish or something? You need to get the hell out of this place."**
Vera
When the rough hands grabbed him, pulling him into the alley and almost causing Puck to drop his staff, he didn't raise his voice or raise a fuss.

Instead, he simply looked up at the men standing before him, his voice calm.

**"I have been called many things before, but never a buffoon,well at least not that specific" **

He said, a hint of confusion evident in his voice, as he studied the men who had grabbed him.

**"And normally one is to introduce themselves before shoving me around," **

He added, as he tired grabbing his hat back.

Kaito just glared at the oddly dressed man with the most annoyed expression, it was as if all his words when through one ear and out the other. This sort of insolence from a person really disturbed his peace of mind and he placed his hand on his sword sheathe with his thumb right on the guard. Many thoughts that ranged from threatening to harming disturbed the swordsman's mind, but as he was used to it - he brushed the thoughts off.

**"Insults are the last of your worries right now, you should be focusing on the fact that you are NOT welcome here and trust me, these people make it clear when someone is not welcome."**

Kaito had a slightly more forlorn face, but still managing to look mostly nonchalant - it was obvious that this topic was familiar with the swordsman. He also noticed the odd man trying to retake his attire that Kaito himself took from him so rudely, so he just threw it lightly into his face. Exhaustion and pure annoyance, two factors that were bothering him the most in this situation, but he withstood through them and continued:

**"The name is K, but listen - why are you even here? I'm surprised they even let you in this city."**
Vera
He swiftly took his witch hat from his face, his expression suddenly easing in a smile that was almost mischievous in its subtlety.

"They led me in because I'm undercover," 

He whispered to Kaito, his voice still slightly quiet and calm but with a hint of amused confidence.

He moved his staff to the side, casually leaning it against the wall as he crossed his arms over his chest.

>his eyes where still looking kaito over, wondering what the others true intention was. 

The word undercover was a big reach, looking him over one could quickly tell he did not belong here. The only thing that maybe could count as part of a costume or disguise was the bandana wrapped around his hair. Even though that was before Hidden by the giant hat. So completely useless really.

Kaito looked with one raised eyebrow right at the dude and was trying to figure him out, but nothing was making sense about this man. The longer he thought, the more he came to more aggressive answers, and one of the answers - this man was some bounty hunter, who had no idea what he was doing, but somehow knew that Kaito was alive. Either way, the swordsman pulled out both of his swords and put both of them up against the neck of the strange man.

**"Listen up, oddball. I don't know what are you trying to get at here or trying to do, but if you are after me - then it's your unfortunate day, because you are dying right here and now. Who the hell would even wear the most suspicious outfit to go undercover?"**

There were just too many things suspicious for Kaito to just let him go, he knew the guy was trouble the moment he saw him. But as he stayed here longer it only got even worse of a situation for Kaito as he saw more and more people looking toward this direction, he just tightened the swords around his neck so he could start speaking quicker, but not enough to actually pierce the skin.

**"You aren't the type to be some undercover spy or anything along the lines of that, you don't even have the power needed."**
Vera
His expression shifted, a look of surprise on his face, as he raised his hands slowly in a gesture of surrender, signaling that he wasn't a threat.

**"I'd rather not die, I'll admit,"**

He muttered under his breath, his voice low but carrying a hint of sarcasm that seemed at odds with their situation.

As he spoke again, he put on an easy smile, clearly hoping to diffuse the tension.

**"I understand that people like me aren't always welcome... And I'm here without any ill intentions. And I'm definitely not behind you mr. K... I also would appreciate moving our conversation elsewhere "**

He added the last part after trying to look around, noticing the attention they where starting to get.

Kaito slowly backed up in an act of accepting his surrender, whilst still keeping the closest eye on the man without a blink. His hands descended a slight tad bit until they came to a stop midway to their sheathe, then the swordsman threw the swords upwards in a turning motion for them to slowly fall back into his hands with the blades pointing downwards - swiftly putting them back into their sheathes. Remembering the fact that still there was a few people peeping into their whole conflict, Kaito gave them a wave with a smile to lower their suspicions, before focusing back onto the man.

**"Unfortunately, not a lot of people get to live, even if they would rather not die. I'll see if I should add you to list."**

With a swift movement, he grabbed Puck's shoulder and pushed him away even further from the visible crowd that could peep into their conflict any time they wanted. Though, the thought of killing the man couldn't help but stay in the corners of Kaito's mind, which only made him realize how the malice within him had so much influence over him, ever since the "Incident". Even with all these moral conflicts, the swordsman couldn't help but think that this malice within him was the most beautiful and human thing about him.

**"I care little for intentions, but I care much for reasons. You still haven't told me anything other than vague obsecure lies. I don't really like liars."**
Vera
Puck let himself be pulled further from the noisy eyes, seemingly more focused on the strange man infront of him. Often in his already long lifespan people had tried to kill and threaten him, though non of them had succeeded so far. Clearly proven by the fact that he still existing. 

**"I am many things, but a liar is not one of them"**

The warlock disliked being called a liar, being more than proud of himself for his honest and rather nice attitude, so he tried not to let any annoyance at that show. Even though his smile slightly dropped. It almost had a slight irony to it that he was fine with being pushed around, but drew the line at being called a liar. 

**"For somebody judging upon me, you kept yourself also rather vague if I may say so. If you truly would have wanted to kill me, you would have done so already. Or just left me to those people out there"**
Maria
Kaito just stared at the man with the most anger filled expression from the moment he finished his sentence, it was like he was intentionally trying to touch a nerve and it was pretty obvious, where the swordsman would go from there. Before Puck could react, Kaito launched his left foot into his knee and making him fall onto the ground, then placing a foot on his chest to ensure he would stay down.

**"You really should watch your mouth. The only reason I pulled you out here is because I respect witches, but you are really trying my patience when you have the audacity to think of me as some pushover like you."**

The swordsman picked up his foot from the man and stood there for a second looking down on him, before taking a few steps back. He just stood there, looking down at the man in a more disgusted expression, his hand just relaxed on the pommel of the sword. However, if one were to look closely at his face - it would be clear that he was stuck on a thought, perhaps regretting his actions on bullying this man?
﻿
**"I'm wasting my time here humiliating you like this over and over again, it's obvious you lack real strength and live your life as prey. Though, I can't say that you lack any respect, since there needs to be a balance. Listen, I want to you to introduce yourself and tell me what you are actually good at, I might just find some uses for you."**
