Draiss looked about the room, and frowned as he 'saw' someone on the other end, but all his other senses didn't even register the man. Beyonder senses, blind sense, smell, and even his basic magic and tech detection senses failed to register his presence. He did, however, recognize him, and gave him a jaunty wave as he began picking his way across the room, noting it was as empty as it appeared, but he didn't trust that for some reason. "Glad to see you, had a couple questions, but I think you would rather play coy instead. So, I need to get by you, you want me to die, something tells me it is a fight to death, mono e mono. Also, sorry if you expected me earlier, Verdelet's defenses were a bit sturdier than anticipated. Not by much, but enough that it was troublesome. So, fight, or would you like to continue stalling for time? Also, how we gonna do this? High drama, down and dirty basics?"<br/><br/>He was grinning now, enjoying himself, and leaned against the column, his Sivridut now slung across his back, an energy blade in his hand though not activated. "I am all for a grand old throw down with everything we got. After all, this has been one hell of a battle royale with cheese so far, but I am sure you realize I am drawing from the power of the battlefield, hence why Verdelet hasn't completed her little ritual upstairs yet. Not a huge drain, but a significant one. Just my armor shifting to a bit more general setting, rather than the focus on defenses."<br/><br/>The armor was shifting and flowing about him like water, the large protective plating moving about, just as he had said. No longer with the more comprehensive defensive strategy in mind, he had a more general setup activated, allowing for equal focus on mobility, defense, and precision capabilities, despite the armor not having any apparent built in weapons. He nodded to the assassin, and shifted form the pillar, matching his pose, a wry grin on his face. "So, shall we make this the second most impressive fight of Ragnarok?"
