Kosuke's heart sank slightly when he found that his attacker really was still there. But the response they gave to his remark stirred several mixed emotions within him. For one, the voice sounded like that of a woman. He wasn't sure if that was good or bad or whatever, but he noted it anyway. And though it seemed to only be one person, his answer seemed to come from multiple directions. Some sort of echo tactic; very clever.<br/><br/>Kosuke forced himself to calm down. Luckily,  it seemed this woman didn't want to fight. Maybe then they could talk and get through whatever had lead to him being drugged by a blow dart.<br/><br/>The white mage took a breath and slowly exhaled. A lot of white magic took will, not symbols, so he had a lot of convenient spells he could cast whenever he so wished. This particular spell was kind of flashy when in progress. A gentle, but strong, wind circled around him for a moment, causing his ebony hair and ivory robes to blow up and sort of hover around him for a short moment. As this was happening the mage inhaled again and closed his eyes. He exhaled in unison with the wind dying down, and his shiny black hair, rather unnaturally, fell perfectly back into place.<br/><br/>It looked rather flashy for a white magic spell, but its purpose was simple. It was merely an observation spell, but one that few were aware of. It was an adapted version of the common observation spell. While this version was flashier, it also gave a more accurate reading of the surrounding area.<br/><br/>Kosuke kept his eyes closed for a moment after casting the spell, processing the information he'd received. A dark magic spell had been cast nearby recently, as well as a small healing spell (his own doing). Several smaller wild animals lurked about as well as one female behind a certain tree. Her physical status was quickly recovering, but at the moment not very good. The cause of this seemed to be manna exertion.<br/><br/>After putting a few pieces together in his mind, the mage opened his eyes. He took a nice little stroll over to a certain tree and peeked behind it. There he saw his 'attacker'. She was a young woman, one in a lot better shape, fighting wise, than himself. She was a little bit rugged looking, probably from a long time spent traveling, but was rather attractive. Her eyes stood out even in this weakened state; they were intense, forceful, and intelligent: this woman was a fighter with magical capabilities.<br/><br/>"If you held no hostility, miss," Kosuke said to her politely, his eyes sparkling in their innocent way, "then there should be no reason for us not to face each other to talk. I wish not to harm you nor anyone else I may come upon. But I'm curious what information you could possibly have been seeking with me?"
