*A figure cloaked in fur looked out at the sea from the base of a cliff, wind whipping at his hair. From behind, the figure appeared Macen, with glossy blue/black hair, and a shorter stature. Opposite to where he was facing, much further down, there was a small encampment in within an alcove of rocks, shielding it from the harsh winter weather, and the gales of the sea. The black haired figure hummed quietly for a few moments, quietly starting to sing as he looked out over to the nearby bay, observing the corpses of fallen ships littering the rocks below.* 

"Rise with the moon go to bed with the sun, early to bed and you miss all the fun.." 

*His words were quickly carried away by the wind, likely alerting any prospective scavengers amongst the naval graveyard to his presence. Either way, he was out in the open, and was easy to spot from far around. An odd thing about the figure is that it didn't seem to have any weapons on it, despite the inherent danger that came with the location...*
Edward
The silhouette of a woman could be made out, heading towards the cliff's edge. They didn't seem to have noticed the figure yet, or didn't care. Although, they weren't particularly stealthy about their approach, the crunching of leaves and twigs under heavy metal boots was quite audible. As the figure came more and more into view, their height was the first thing that was notable, being quite tall for a woman, especially a macen.

A monstrously large blade was visible, carried hilt pointing forward in a hand. The woman's other hand was occupied with a flask, more than likely booze, which the macen was currently guzzling. More details of their figure became obvious as they left the shade of the trees, the long red jacket they wore, their mess of long silver hair that covered half of their face, and their singular visible yellow eye.

She called out to the figure as she approached, her voice somewhat rough and scratchy, "Hey, please don't jump or something... Dunno what you're muttering about but I've seen enough things go to shit for one day."
Gina
*The figure turned his head slightly at the noise, but then turned back to face the crashing waves. He continued to hum, singing a little bit more of whatever it was he had gotten into his head,* 

"I'm a member of the midnight crew, I'm a night owl and a wise bird too, home with the milk in the mooorning-" 

*Ishikawa turned back to the figure fully now, having been addressed. He hadn't been sure if she were friendly initially, so he chose to act as if he hadn't seen her. What met her gaze was the face of a young man. With his height he could be mistaken for a teenager, though his thin face and dark bags under his eyes seemed to point away from that. His eyes were an icy, striking blue, with silver flecks laden throughout, and an almost permanent blush lay across his nose and cheeks, slightly hiding one grouping of many of the faded pox scars that marred his body.* 

*Ishikawa smiled gently in a solemn way, gently speaking. His voice was smooth, with a somewhat posh accent.* 

"Ah, don't mind me, miss..."

*He stepped away from the edge of the cliff, showing that his frame was much smaller than one would initially think, due to the heavy fur coat that was draped on his body.* 

"I heard rumors of a creature that lures ships into the rocks with song, and wanted to see if I may be able to draw it out..."
Edward
"Oh? What kind of beast?" The woman approached the cliff side where the man stood as she spoke. Her voice lightened somewhat as what he mentioned seemed to be enough to drive her mind off of whatever was currently bringing her to drink."

Upon closer inspection of the woman's face, as she stepped nearer, the fringes of a black eye patch were notable underneath the shroud of messy of silver locks, and a slight bloodshot-ness to her visible eye. The rest of her expression was nothing of note, simply keeping blank with the slightest hint of intrigue.

As she reached a stand still near him, she plunged her blade into the ground, resting on it and swiveling her head slightly to face towards his. The weapon was a behemoth in it's size, and had a large crescent tip compared to the normal point of your average great sword.
Gina
*Ishikawa shrugged, grinning slightly.* 

"Well, you see, that's the thing about it. All physical descriptions of it vary from person to person, as if they were only seeing what they wished to see." 

*He looked off into the distance, taking a glance at the port kilometres away off the coastline.* 

"It sounds like something I've read of, a Siren. Though I haven't found any true accounts of their existence quite yet." 

*The monster hunter brushed some stray hair from his face, raising an eyebrow as he eyed the rather large sword she carried.*
Edward
"Now, why try to kill a thing like that? If it's just some... Thing... That takes forms people are happy with, what's the point? Not like it's hurting anyone." She'd reply, her tone calm with a hint of intrigue as she cast her one eyed gaze across to him, probably not being far from off equal his height despite her bent posture.

She'd gaze out into the distance with him for a time, simply remaining in silence as she listened to him speak of the apparent beast's name. The golden eye with it's barely noticeable slitted pupil studied the patterns of the waves, and their unending war against the rocky graveyard below, as well as taking note of the port. She relaxed significantly as she stared out onto the waves, her breathing and demeanor becoming far more controlled.

She'd notice him taking an eye to her blade from the corner of her eye, her gaze turning to him as she spoke. Her voice was calm and had a relaxed air about it as she replied to his questioning stare, "Interesting shape, isn't it? You don't see these that often around here."
Gina
*Ishikawa tilted his head, sitting cross legged on the ground. He figured they wouldn't be moving for a good bit.* 

"You assume killing it is my intention. No, I try to kill only as a last resort. Ideally, finding it would allow me to prove it's existence, but also perhaps persuade it to stop luring ships into the bay." 

*Ishikawa leaned on one arm, raising the one of his knees so that he could take more of a relaxed posture.* 

"I am a monster hunter by title, I suppose you've figured that out to some degree.." 

*Ishikawas eyes continuously wandered towards the ocean, as if he was drawn to it in some way. Likely not in any sort've meaningful way, just a deep curiosity and fascination with it existing under the surface.* 

"Hm? Oh, yes... It's quite... Large." 
*Ishikawa murmured,* 

"Even in the many places I've traveled, I've never seen something such as that." 

*He looked at the ground, a smiling, but wistful look on his face.* 

"I suppose today is a day as good as any for firsts. The first time seeing a sword of that type," 

*He paused,* 

"And the first time I've ever seen the sea."
Edward
"You're not well traveled then, are you? New to this sort of thing?" She'd tilt her head, glancing down at him as she spoke, with a hint of amazement was in her voice, that he hadn't seen the turbulent beauty of the sea before. She continued replying to him, " Executioner's weapon, if you were curious. Made for necks too thick for your normal sword, and people not fond of axes." Her tone was matter of fact as she stated the massive of hunk of steel's grim original purpose.

She'd pull herself into a sitting position beside him, knees pulled not far from her chest, with her arms rested and head rest atop them. The woman remained relaxed as she continued staring out onto the sea, listening into whatever his response might be.
Gina
*Ishikawa thought for a moment, speaking softly, nodding.* 

"I lived at my families estate for the majority of my life, never traveling much farther than the next town over for the most part. I'm still young, so I haven't had much time to adjust to... All of this." 

*Ishikawas eyes twinkled, and his voice was gentle, sounding as if the strong winds of the sea could blow it away with ease.* 

"I wouldn't trade it for the world." 

*He looked back to her, having a neutral expression at the mention of killing. He didn't seem to have an outward problem with it.* 

"Interesting." 

*Ishikawa would allow himself to sit in silence with the woman, simply sharing a quiet moment of appreciating the pull of the waves with her.*
Edward
"I wouldn't uh... Recommend continuing what you're doing if that's your upbringing." She'd reply in response to hearing of his origin, shortly continuing on with her response, "Hunting beasts and really mercenary work in general isn't something for the faint of heart. Things get bloody. People die. It's not a fun business." Her tone was serious as she turned her head to stare at him, a firmness in her gaze and expression.

She'd sigh as she turned her gaze back to the ocean as she asked him a simple question, "I never caught your name by the way. I'm Ikari." Her tone relaxed with the far simpler and less serious question.
Gina
*Ishikawa shook his head, a more serious look falling onto his face.* 

"No, I was raised for this. Hunting things, beasts..." 

*His voice dropped lower.* 

"People..." 

*He reached into his things, gently taking out a letter with a wax seal on it. It hadn't been broken.* 

"The life of a dedicated hunter is what you could call my birthright, or at least that was the intent..." 

*He stared disdainfully at the letter for a moment, before shoving it back into his things.* 

"But intent is far different than practice." 

*He met her eyes, a cold expression resting on his face. The look in his eyes, the lack of sleep that shown on his face said all she needed to know about what he had experienced already.* 

*Ishikawa's expression didn't change, but he went back to looking out, replying with a lack of emotion in his voice, as if he was trying to hold something back.* 

"Ishikawa... My name is Ishikawa. It's a pleasure to meet you." 
*He became less tense, focusing again on the crashing of the waves.*
