"Well, that was a dissapointment" A shadowy figure stood at a vantage point nearby, underneath an overhang that redirected the sudden and heavy rain away from the body of the man in black, he had been watching the fight, and in his hand was a large bowl of noodles, his other, a chopstick. The man had been watching the fight as it began, at an incredibly slow pace to boot. The man watched looking throughly unamused. The fight was between another Paladin and a girl, other than that the man in black hadn't paid attention, simply watching the combatant's fighting styles. Valen situated himself with fumbling around with his noodles, he didn't much care for chopsticks.<br/><br/>The noodles hit the ground with a wet splat and Valen swore, setting the bowl aside and looking up from under his wide brimmed hat, observing his surroundings, the paladin left, and the fight was over, a shame Valen arrived so late, or he could have joined in the little melee~<br/><br/>"Y'know Mal, We don't see very many of these guys in one place do we?" Valen spoke to nothing, he was all alone up where he stood. "A shame too, that looked like it coulda been fun"<br/><br/>Valen adjusted himself, pushing off against the wall and stuffing his hands into his pockets, he spoke to his spirit, even though his spirit wasn't there, or at least didn't seem to be, the truth was that he lingered behind him, an ominous shadow behind the man in black.<br/><br/>"Maybe I should go meet up with that paladin? Surely a ally couldn't hurt..."<br/><br/>Valen cocked his head, grinning<br/><br/>"What? No..." he seemed to be having a perfectly wonderful conversation with himself... " A fight wouldn't be so horrible, but I honestly don't like being quadrouple-teamed, even if it does even the odds a little. Valen shook his head a little, walking down a convenient street with a confident stride, Valen wanted a battle toom he could bet money everybody did, but for now, his objective was to meet the paladin. The man began in the direction that he had seen the other man wander off in, towards an inn, or at least so it seemed. If he ran into one of the anti-zekes... Oh well...<br/><br/>(Sorry, post is kind of hurried, so it is not exactly my best, I can fix any boo-boos when I get back in a little bit)
