➤ *V'ridis was still on an unwanted vacation, if you could call it that. She spent so much time just relaxing with nothing besides her thoughts, and that damned pest... Though, that pest was beginning to become her closest friend within all this. She debated quitting mercenary work and just... Starting a far or something. She could only expect a request for work to come in soon, because money was running a little too scarce.*

 Least I know what I'm doing out here.

➤ *The rat scurried out of her sleeve as she put a hand down. She hungrily stared at a fish she kept on a pike as she waited for it to cook over the open fire. Though, the rodent was just as hungry, if not hungrier than her. V gave it a glance before her gaze returned to the fish.*

"𝐈 know you're hungry too, but you know the drill. Keep practicing the symbol, you never know when combat will occur." *She held a tone of slight authority over the rat.*

"𝐄very single time food's in the conversation, you hold it over my head like-"

➤ *Her eyes shifted to those of a snakes, her pupils becoming slits as she's done many times in the past. She took advantage of how creepy that'd look to something several times smaller than her to intimidate the rat. But, it quickly changed back to normal.*

"𝐈'm starting to think you'd rather be the food. Remember, iron!"

➤ *As the mouse got to work, scurrying off once more to make the initial circle around her. It'd take time, but as long as it got a little faster with it she'd be happy. She etched the symbol into the ground with her fingers, mostly out of boredom and to distract herself from the thoughts of doubt she had been keeping in the back of her mind. But finally, the fish was cooked. And naturally, she went in to take a huge bite out of it.*

Kaito was in an unusual position, but not without a reason - he wanted to commit his first kidnapping and he managed to find some unsuspecting woman on the Black Sand coast, where he positioned himself high up on a tree and using his blade as a platform to stand, but not putting all of his weight onto the blade and rather holding onto tree to not break the blade in half. In a crouched down position, he just examined the beach with the woman, who seemed to be talking to some rat as if some person.

Although, Kaito wasn't here alone completely as he wasn't he only one, who wanted to kidnap someone or make some some money from it. He let go of the tree for a second and brought his hands together by his mouth in a specific position, before beginning to whistle, and as the sound flowed out from his hands - it slowly turned into something similar of a bird's whistle to those that were around to hear it, as if some signal. 

And with that, a thin veil of translucent magic started to form around the swordsman until it resembled armour of draken. It was clear that the swordsman was preparing, as he had no idea what the woman on the beach was capable of - an approach of absolute and instant victory was needed in order to avoid having to face the problem of an attritional battle. 

Kaito slowly stood up with his one hand gripped around the tree, just awaiting for the perfect chance to do his own part. His eyes ever so gleaming with determination, even if the job wasn't as serious as his other encounters.

Frankly, Lady didn't exactly understand why we had to *Kidnap* Someone. With the amount of power they had- they could easily just chase and beat them up rather than capture them. Money, money was the evil of mankind. Being raised wealthy and fed- she didn't understand why people obsessed over it so much, but she guessed it was one of the many ignorant things rich people passed over. Hence why she couldn't exactly... Trust this target Kaito pinpointed. The woman on the shore didn't look wealthy, or well-fed at least. She talked to a mouse, she had an old-fashioned campfire. With the swordsman, she prowled nearly over her target. Hiding behind a tree that veiled her form, she listened to the woman's conversations. Despite being... Not as energized, Lady could tell the estimate of the woman's strength. Not an easy pin to throw down, but with the strength of two, it will be on the easier side.

As the whistle was to be heard. Lady Bitter snatched the glass ornament hung onto her neck. Consisting of rosehips, thorns, nettle, poppy seeds, and honey. A special element that created the catalyst truly hers- chopped bits of her fingernails. The small glass vial was thrown and shattered under the woman. It would soon inflict numbness and an instant coldness that ran through her body. With a pitiful, pathetic grin- she approached the woman with a low stance. The goth, as intimidating as she was, simply stared down the woman from the shadows.

Rahz, dva, tri... Simple names to give. Her hounds, ghastly in the light, ruthless in the night. As fearless as she was, Lady always had to be guarded by her hounds. Her frailness was always a weakness. Under sunlight, the dogs were in a translucent-invisible form, resonating cold mist with freezing energy enough to send shivers down her spine. Lady was positive, *No,* Sure that her ally was to ambush the woman after her magic. V's veins would turn into an eccentric blue color as the numbness went over her.

# some actual nourishment..."

➤ *V'ridis was clearly enjoying her food. But who wouldn't enjoy their first bit of protein in days? The way she acted about it though, you'd expect her to be at least halfway to her muscles completely atrophying. The savory flavors of the fresh fish were enough to bring a tear to the eyes of the most hardened food critics—but that was just the starvation speaking.*

"𝐇urry up, rodent! It'll all end up gone before you finish if you don't pi-"



➤ *She groaned with annoyance as she looked towards the source of the sound, a vial shattering beside her. She felt the initial numbness and got a step closer towards her campfire and sighed. V's body was getting cold. An ambush? In broad daylight and on someone who, to her knowledge, didn't have a bounty on her head? She couldn't help but think that whoever was attacking her was a loser in some way, but she was playing it cool. But, the campfire was doing a decent job at cancelling it out. Her pupils became slits once more as she looked around for the cause... And it had already made itself apparent.*

"𝐖hile I appreciate you trying to help me cool down, I can assure you that I'm already cold enough." *She spoke as if it didn't matter much.* "𝐁ut, really? Tossing something like that at a lone woman who was eating, fishing, and giving food to the local wildlife? That isn't very kind. Just allow me to feed the animals a little more and I'll happily do whatever you ask."

➤ *Unbeknownst to her attacker, she was carving out the symbol for iron in the side of the fish. But to anybody else, it'd only look like she was picking food off of the fish for the nearby rat. All the while keeping a close eye on her current opponent. Though she looked a little too frail to be by herself, and noticing those hounds' heat signature, she seemed a bit annoyed. Thankfully, the rat was around 1/3 done with the circle.*

"𝐎r... Did you want a piece instead?"

The swordsman was crouched down with the most disappointed expression known to man, as he expected Lady to play a damsel in distress act rather than participate in the combat, but he already had multiple backup plans in rise of any situation. However, as he looked at the other lady with black hair, he noticed her behaviour was uncanny and slightly mechanical, which lead to him being slightly anxious as he knew how strong hybrids could be.

Kaito had decided it was enough time thinking once he saw the woman was in-position as he planned, he held himself with his right hand holding the tree, both feet pushing against the tree, and with his left hand pulled out his sword, having some struggle as it was lodged in pretty deep in the tree. Eventually, he slowly turned himself toward the woman and bent his knees as far as he could, before with all his strength and magic enhancing - launching off straight toward the upper torso of the woman with great speed. 

Like some flying dragon, he struck right into the upper torso of the woman and with his velocity, he forced her to fall backwards and he himself landed right on-top of her. As awkward as the situation was, he quickly recovered from the strike and situated himself above her - holding down her arms with his own hands and trying to avoid eye contact after witnessing her disturbing snake eyes. 

**"LADY, YOU BLAGGARD! GET OVER HERE AND HELP ME ALREADY!"**
