Once more giving the woman a hard glare, Nyoko flicked her hair over her shoulder and moved over to the soldier to her right that appeared to be in the worst state while being moderately close to her. There were more important things to do than arguing with idiots, after all. And her hands and eyes got to work quickly assessing the state of the wounds that have been dealt to the soldier.<br/><br/>"Don't worry... I'm no mystic, but I've lived my whole life with crazy warriors that rushed from one bunch of trouble to another." she spoke while treating the man. All that was just to get his attention off what she was doing - it always seemed to work on Haruki, after all, and albeit it seemed that this soldier was subject to this tactic just as well. "It's awful how those Black Blades come... Only a gust of bad wind, and everything is burning... But your town got off better than many other ones I've seen. Me and my brother, we've been traveling for a long time, and it definitely isn't the first one. You're fortunate, really... Most of you is still alive, too." Her gaze, half under the cover of her thick lashes, grew softer while she spoke, in a silent and gentle voice which came to one's ears like soothing silk. By the time she finished talking in her slow tempo, she was almost done.<br/><br/>On his way from the burned gate, Haruki by some accident - or was it really an accident? - stepped before the small girl again. This time, she was sat on the step before the ruins and ash of a house, blown from the burned skeleton of what used to be a home to her long, unkempt hair, fluttering by her face like butterfly wings. "Did I not warn you about going north, fire-head? Or does<span style="font-style: italic">he</span>have to beat some sense to that head of yours with your own master's skeleton?" she spoke to him, rather upset judging by the harsh tone her voice resonated with.<br/>"Shut up, you...!" Haruki snapped, a very deeply hidden and well-guarded part of him just taking a direct hit after the mention of his master.<br/>She smirked. "That hit straight and deep, didn't it?"<br/><br/>He frowned at her, barring his teeth. "Who the hell do you think you are? Watch your mouth, brat!" he burst out at her. "If you weren't a kid, I'd gladly give your ass a meeting with my foot!"<br/>"What, are you afraid to hit a girl?" Noraki raised a brow, seemingly completely cynical towards Haruki's rage. And like a gust of the wind, she stood up. "Come and get me if you want!" she cackled. And just like that, she disappeared.<br/><br/>Her stick-thin figure appeared behind Blake just a few moments later, while Haruki bolted after her, grinding his teeth in rage.<br/><br/>"Hey there, mystic. Your redheaded friend over there ain't as tough as he'd like to think, eh? He got pretty fired up when I mentioned his master. Did you know about that? Anyway, I think you better look well after him. He was giving the northern gate that was burned as they left some real deep looks, you know." she spoke, sounding nearly lax with her arms crossed at her chest. And just before Haruki would arrive there, she disappeared again.
