Maniacal_Jester notes that all in the presence of the lovely forest hear a soft jingling noise which slowly grows louder ... in comes the Jester, skipping and hopping and twirling on his spindly legs in some half-crazed sort of dance, before springing up and landing in a sitting position on a branch above him, to stare down at the others around him with a wicked grin.

[Riley] No Die!!

[Vel] "FEH!" He growled.

Riley screams it right into his face. "Die!"

Vel attempts to poke Riley's stomach... in hopes she's ticklish.

Riley 's still stuck on the word and so tilts her head back to scream the word over and over..well that is till she bends too far and topples onto her back. The poke would've been ignored, although there was a deffinate flinch..

Kitterli eye’s glaze over for just a split second, a wave of dizziness enshrouding her mind in fog and blurring her vision. She tunes back into what Red’s saying as her wrist is retaken. She almost didn’t seem to notice the very temporary release. “I won’t run…” she answers, her voice feather-light to the ears. She couldn’t run anyway, though it’s a nice thought.

Vel sighs and just plugs his ears for now. "Fine! It's die..."

Riley grins, hands resting on her stomach.

-Red nodded slowly as she let go of the girls wrist. Now then. That's better, neh? ^ ^ She soon reached behind her, pulling out a small pack as she opened it up. Before long, she stood, walking over to a dead tree. Her eyes constantly fled back up to Kitter, making sure she was still in that same spot. A few moments later, -Red would come back with a load of wood in her arms. Before long, a fire was started as she looked up to Kitterli. A soft nod was given as she reached into her pack, pulling out two bowls, and some contents in a small bag. "Hungry?"

Maniacal_Jester glances with much interest at Riley ... but the his gaze turns to look adoringly at the little half-breed Kodora. He clasps his hands together and brings them up to the side of his face, his mouth making an 'o' of wonder. He falls backwards off of his branch, seeming to grab the branch with his toes and swing around before he falls completely, performing a strange sort of flip and landing at the feet of Kodora in a squatting position. "Heelllooooo ..." he says to her with his same twisted grin.

-Red said before long too many times in that post. >_<

Vel glances back towards Riley and unplugs his ears. "You seem pleased."

Riley just grins..

Vel tries to poke Riley in the stomach a few more times.

Kitterli doesn’t move from that spot, as bade. But her body can no longer maintain that crouch so she carefully slides into a sit, crossing slender legs before her and hunching forward to rest her elbows her the base of her thighs. Her elegant fingers curl into small fists that press gently against each other above her folded ankles. She watches Red, a small sense of wonder eking into her confused and frightened psyche. Her wings rest limply against her back, curving out over the ground to splay slightly upon it. To the question, she shakes her head once. “I do not…require food as such,” she answers softly.

Riley is poked.. repeatedly! O.o This catches her completely off guard as it's a rather different poke then she's used to. It does indeed tickle, so she rolls onto her side.

little_half-breed_kodora she rolled her eyes and jumped high into a tree, only taking three steps to tcale a 50 foot tree. she didn't feel like screwing around with someone this annoying. her tail zswayed in irribility as shse crouched onto the branch.

[Vel] "Har har.." He stops though. He had his revenge.

-Red quirked a slender brow, before nodding a bit. She put the other bowl away, before making a simple broth of Miso soup. It was all she needed, before she quickly finished it. The bowl went back into the pack as she glanced ahead at Kitter, her eyes narrowing back down once again. "Your wondering why I'm doing this?"

Riley rolls over onto her back, eyeing him cautiously. Of course he'd recieve a rather hard jab in the side.. if she can.

Vel jumps slightly and hoping off the the side slightly. The monk clutched his stomach defencivly.

Riley raises both eyebrows..

Kitterli keeps her gaze upon the fire; the dancing flames are a safer place to rest her eyes. She remains almost perfectly still as Red fixes food and eats. Only her shallow breaths and an occasional blink of her eyes indicates she more than just a statue with glittery wings. She doesn’t respond immediately to the question, her jaw tightening as her lips press together in a thin line. A slender brow furrows at the fire before she slowly puts forth an answer. “Yes…”

Vel looks back towards her with light glare on. "..."

-Red growled softly in frustration. Though, she did nearly kill the girl before. So, she would have to give her some time. Deep inside, her mind was screaming to just go about a slaughter right now, but she pushed those thoughts away. "Kirai. " She licked her lips some, her head slowly raising as those eyes glanced to Kitter. The fire seemed to dance in her eyes, casting an eery glare.

Riley leaps to her feet, dropping the side bag as she does so, and nearly dives for Vel, wanting to get some more pokes in.

Maniacal_Jester looks rather disappointed ... He raises a hand to his side and snaps his fingers, disappearing in a bright yellowish purple flare to reappear, still sitting cross-legged, in front of and slightly above Kodora. "What's your hurry, little cutey?" he says in his sinister sing-song voice. Kodora then notices that the jester isn't actually sitting on a branch ... in fact, he's not sitting on anything at all, just kinda floating in midair. "I've never seen a creature such as you before ... can't we at least get to know each other better?!" he says, tilting his head to one side and putting his hands up, palms flat, in a sort of shrug.

Vel yelps softly as he's tackled to the ground. The white haired monk tries to cover his belly up to keep Riley from poking him... though he had little sucess. So he ended up rolling around trying to suppress laughing or smiling and such.

Kitterli ‘s eye squinch as she fights for an elusive sense of focus. A moment later and there is clarity to her vision again. The meaning implied by that familiar name is completely lost to her and her gaze shifts to regard Red in confusion. She doesn’t hold it long, that dance of fire in the other woman’s eyes disconcerting. She drops her own eyes to look at the ground before her.

little_half-breed_kodora she growls lowly, her ears sitting tight agaisnt her head, flat. " look . i really don't have time for this crap. nor do i wish ti put up with it" she really hated people. infact, there were only a few she was good with, and she could name them all on one hand flash, net, honkokou and Blue.with that, in one fuild motion, she stood up and as soon as she was upright, she pushed herself off teh branch, ebgining to hop from branch to branch, tree to tree. people were not her best quality

Riley struggles to remain on top. This is a new game! So yes.. Vel shall be poked and tickled as much as possible..

-Red glanced aside. She licked her fangs once more, shaking her head some before she looked back to Kitter. "Yes. I got ahold of Kirai. But...she asked me to look after you. Even I have noticed. You can't protect yourself well. As long as you trust me, I'll never strike you." The last bits of her words were said firmly, a soft growl in her voice.

Vel acts out a whimper trying to role on to his stomach as to stop most of the poking and tickling as possible. "Mercy!"

Riley rolls off him as he does so and promptly sits up to watch curiously.

Archangelinia steps back through the Umbra, disgruntled, and settles back down where she was before, watching the moon. She grumbles to herself about not being able to sleep.

Kitterli isn’t sure how to respond to that, she’s so taken aback by those very unexpected words. She stares at the ground, her pattern of thought having a difficult time making this transition of thought. Funny, but her first thought is more for the Inu than for herself and so she inquires, “And what of Kirai?” Red’s intentions towards that other girl had not seemed particularly friendly at all.

Vel waits for a moment before scrambling to get up and a few paces away from Riley. <<; Crazy women.

Riley tilts her head to the side watching him. Was the game over? Her usual blank expression begins to appear..

Vel cautiously steps forward and tries to pat her on the head.

-Red sighed somewhat at the mention of the Inu. "I decided not to kill her. Lucky for her, I had some mercy left in me. She learned a lesson, hopefully one she will never forget as well. She did something she wasn't supposed to. She ran away from her fate, and it got her into more trouble." She glanced back up to Kitter once more, reaching her hand up this time, pulling down that veil of hers, revealing her face fully. The two tattoos on her face seemed to shine in the odd firelight. Two blue marks, going verticle down, just under her left eye on her cheek. "I promised her I would look after you. She know's she cant. So I will. Understand?"

Maniacal_Jester sighs, the grin on his face slightly fading, but not entirely. He leans forward suddenly, drifting through the tree tops after Kodora at a leisurely sort of pace. As he floats, he puts his left hand before him, palm up and fingers outstretched as if to take something, then curls the long, bony fingers back into a fist, grabbing and pulling something invisible towards him. As he does so, the very next branch that Kodora chooses to land on animates itself and attempts to wrap itself tightly and firmly about her wrist, causing no damage yet holding her.

Azacus walks casually up the wooded path of the forest. The hood of his cloak is up, as is typical, with only his chin, lips, and ears exposed. The contraption on his left arm whirs almost silently, the slight undulations of the material under the plating looks very disturbing. The faint lights that glow seemed absobed by the fabric of his cloak. His clawed feet kick the hem of his cloak setting the silver designs around the bottom a twirl. HIs right hand in hidden in the depths of his long sleeve.

Riley is patted.. blinking with each one...

NáessëElanessë 's mist just sprouted up from the ground and within moments a cloaked figure could be seen within those shadows. Within moments a cold chill rushes forth as the shadows are just swept away and there in that crouched position is Nae. Just there watching and listening.

Vel attempts to grab Riley up into a big hug... just because he can.

Maniacal_Jester notes he is still hovering cross-legged.

Archangelinia still lays on the ground, grumbling to herself. She takes out one of her smaller blades and starts playing with it in her hands.

Kitterli would like nothing more than to simply vanish from that spot, but such if life since she failed to put an end to it. The argument about whether or not Red is one to determine the Inu’s fate rises within her, but she certainly wouldn’t bring it up. Thoughts sift through her mind, trying to figure out what order in which to place themselves and form a path of coherency. Severe blood loss has not just weakened her physically, but has wrought havoc on her ability to think straight through an almost constant haze. There’s many things she might say, but she merely settles with, “I understand…” Though she’s not sure she does fully, but perhaps, given time to mull it over, the reasoning will sink in.

Riley squeaks as she's grabbed up in a big hug. "Yea.." It's said very quietly, probably more so since she's being hugged. But it sounds happy enough. ^.^

-Red nodded slowly, reaching to her waist as she grabbed one of her many water flasks. She took it off, opening it up as she lightly held it out to Kitterli. "Drink. You need some water."

Azacus rips up a small sapling in passing. The tree is only about five feet high and several inches around. The roots and dirt hanging from sapling fall off as he walks along.

[Vel] "Hmmm... Was that eh... fun?" He asked, letting her go a little.

little_half-breed_kodora and land on a branch she did. she stopped to rest for a bit, thinking she was safely away from him. then the tree wrapped arounf her wrists "god d*mnit" she cursed. " i really don't have time for this sh*t" she almost yelled.

Riley , is just kind of there..making no signs of trying to get away..

[Vel] "..." He sighs, drooping his head.

Kitterli is unused to relying upon physical nutrients, though in her present physical state, liquid at least, would certainly be beneficial. Her gaze shifts to the offered flask and after a moment’s consideration as well as just taking a second to get her arm to move she gently takes the flask from Red’s hand. “Thank you,” is offered and there is a hint of a genuine sense to it. And, her player forgot to mention, that Kit does also take note beforehand of Red’s features, vaguely curious as to the tattoos, though she doesn’t voice that question.

Riley tilts herself back to look at him again. Amazingly, she manages to look worried. "Hi."

Maniacal_Jester floats lazily over toward the now hanging Kodora, rotating himself sideways as he goes until stopping about seven or so feet from Kodora, now completely upside down, the bells on his hat and feet jingling in protest. "Oh really? Have somewhere else you need to be, hmm? Off playing with your little demon-kitty friends?" he said in the same lilting, all too amused tone.

-Red nodded once more, slowly standing as she left her pack there. If Kitterli ever went through it, she would find a few more flasks, along with a cot, and a pillow. But now, her attention was on something else. Something comming in their general direction. Slowly, she stood up, glancing down to Kitter. "Rest up. I'll be watching." She then turned, slowly walking towards the thing that came near them. She couldn't see it yet. But her eyes held no lies. She was heading slowly towards Azacus.

Vel winces. Now she says it. "... Hi." he sighs.

Riley tilts her head. "What's wrong?"

Archangelinia decides to get off her arse and thus stands up and starts walking around the clearing, searching for someone she knows.

Kitterli is so out of it, she’s barely alert to anything else around them. She nods her head in silent assent to Red as she fiddles with the flask, not yet having convinced herself to drink the water, the idea oddly foreign to her. She slowly lifts her head, her gaze following after Red a moment, wondering. She then takes a small sip of the water.

[Vel] "It's nothing." He says, trying to brush the topic off to the side.

NáessëElanessë slowly rose to her feet as a brief smile pressed over her lips as she began walking around. Yup just randomly walking around here and there and here and there. Hey, look there is Archie. So with that she sprints quickly and attempts to pounce Archie in a sneak attack pounce. Yeah..

Riley 's eyes slide to the side, almost guilty like. It can't be helped. She shifts a hand to one of his arms and simply repeats the question. "What's wrong?"

Azacus suddenly appears at the edge of the clearing, his sapling clutched easily in his right hand. The flames dance around his body easily marking him in the dimlight forest. His eyes, and the majority of his face for that matter, are still cloaked by his hood.

[Vel] "I'll have to leave some day... I don't know when and probably not return." He shrugged.

-Red stopped suddenly, turning to her side some as her hand came up, bringing that veil with it. She brought it up over her mouth and nose, those eyes narrowing coldly as she glared to Azacus. Her right hand came up, gripping the hilt of her katana as she simply waited. -Red had claimed the area near Kitterli as her territory. Best not to enter it.

little_half-breed_kodora now she ws angry. yher ears lay flat against her head, her throat rumbling with a low growl " .. i have no where to be. and no one to be with. i HATE PEOPLE" she yelled at him "they HATE me, so if you DON'T mind, P*SS OFF!" she snarled athim, hissing like a cat. "and as for demons, I HATE THEM TOO" she continued to hiss and snarl, struggling, trying to get her way out of the branches grip, like a cat under a box o.o

Archangelinia is pounced by Nae. She falls over, with Nae on top of her and, because of instinct, tries to roll Nae onto her back and pin her to the ground. She growls loudly.

Riley 's hands drop away from him. She's used to people coming and going. Infact the only person who ever truly stayed in one spot was a doctor. For whatever reason though, this seems a bit of a blow. "Oh. And this makes you sad?" Her eyes are wide as she clearly struggles to understand..hurray for sane moments.

Kitterli vaguely ponders the path leading from the lake back to the clinic and how exactly she expects to make that distance without keeling right over. A small sigh issues forth. Perhaps she simply won’t bother to do so. She’s of no inclination to rummage through Red’s pack and settles to taking another, longer drink, of the water before reclosing the flask and setting it aside. Left alone, for the moment, she closes her eyes as she rests her chin atop loosely curled fingers. Her wings shift gently behind her before resettling once more in almost the same position as they were before; starlight dancing over their surface in a shimmer of sparkles. She is presently unaware of what Red is up to, feeling her consciousness attempt to fade and struggling to keep it from doing so, putting her at a very low level of awareness to her surroundings unless something really jogs her attention.

NáessëElanessë landed ont top of Archie and within moments let her roll them over so she was ontop of her. At her growl she couldn't help but grin a little as she winked. However in the midst of everything she stole a glance over at Red for a moment, took another glance at Az.. and than back to Archie.

Archangelinia pins Nae and growls, then, seeing the wink, backs off slowly and stands, brushing herself off. Then looks in the direction of REd and Az then back at Nae. "What?"

Vel glances up to Riley and shrugs. "Wouldn't it make you sad? You are one of the few people that I've ever kept this close before. So I guess it would make me sad... though I suppose that is just how life is... sad."

Maniacal_Jester stares in abject delight at Kodora as she has her cursing fit. He looks as if he's seeing the most amazing thing in the world in front of him. "OoOoOoooo ... goodness! You could be the very child of Nosturdine himself, with an attitude like that," he comments, floating closer and reaching out an upside down hand to pat Kodora's head. The branches hold tightly, though Kodora does sense that her struggles are getting her somewhere ...

Riley frowns. "Where are you going to go?"

Azacus ;shifts his position slightly so that he is facing...whatever it is that is coming toward him. The sapling moves to rest casually against his right shoulder and behind his head. He waits.

[Vel] "Home. To go face whatever trials lay before me... I can't run from what I am and what I do forever." Through his calm exterior there was a look of weiryness and woe. "Though I was hoping to find you a happy life before I went."

Vel winces, glancing towards the Jester. Odd creature whatever it was.

-Red tried to keep to the Shadows somewhat as her eyes narrowed once more. That grip on her katana tightened as she hissed loudly this time. Much like a rather large, and pissed, cat. It was a warning. Perhaps this one will heed it.

Azacus doesn't. Nor does he care.

Riley 's blank expression begins to appear, but for whatever reason, disappears with a small shake of her head. "What do you do?"

Maniacal_Jester 's head spins around to look back at Vel, his neck twisted at an impossible rotation, suggesting disturbingly that the Jester in fact does not have a spine? He winks, then turns his attention back to the demon-cat.

-Red blinked somewhat. Well, he didn't come any closer. So for now, -Red was conent. Slowly, she turned, heading back towards Kitterli.

NáessëElanessë moves to stand the moment Archie is up, she shrugged her shoulders gently as her eyes went to gaze intently on Red for a moment as the sahdows sprouted up from the ground and clung around her form. "Don't know just yet."

[Vel] "I kill people... I'm made to destroy life and happyness." He shrugs again, more weakly as though an unseen weight was being pressed down upon him.

Riley thinks this over for a minute, then shakes her head. "No you don't. Doctors do that."

little_half-breed_kodora she growled the wood of the branches creaking, begining to splinter in a few places " NOSTRIL HWO? I DON'T GIVE A D*MN!!" she cotnnued to snarl, then he patted her head. her eye flashed red and purple " DON'T TOUCH MY HEAD" this was it , she was going balistic, berserk!!. " NO ONE TOUCHES THE EARS" she snarled

Azacus keeps walking, the sapling moving to parallel the ground. At this point he should be more or less into the clearing. The thing on his left arm churns slightly as he shifts it. His robes robes swirl around his feet and his right hand remaons hidden.

Kitterli hasn’t really moved much save for turning her head to one side upon the backs of her slender hands. Her eyes are closed, shutting out the visual part of the world so she can focus at least, on her other senses. Her eyes open as Red approaches her and she watches the woman, a sort of detachedness mixed across her pale features.

Archangelinia turns to face towards Red and takes out her bow, knocking an arrow as well, just in case she trys anything agiant her Lord. She doesn't aim the bow so as not to be too threatening and start something that otherwise wouldn't hav ebeen started.

[Vel] "Doctors don't do that. They learned all that medical knowledge so they can do the opposite. They don't spend half their lives learning about how the body works to torture people... that goes completely against the human nature." He shakes his head.

-Red stopped suddenly. Those eyes narrowed again as she growled loudly. That thing came near. Though, her eyes flashed towards Kitter. To help the fae, or to turn around and maul this thing. She slowly spun around, eyeing the creature now as she growled once more. Another warning.

Riley says nothing in reply to that. "And you wont come back?"

[Vel] "I don't know. All I know is that I'll be leaving at some point and might or might not come back."

Azacus smirks and spits at the thing, his metallic fangs briefly exposed. Meanwhile some bluish energy gathers into his hands.

Kitterli is probably fine…for the time being. Depends on what gets near her, one might suppose. She stirs, calling forth some vestige of alertness, peering at Red and then past her with a small frown curling her lips. There’s a small tremor to her delicate hands as she lifts her chin from resting upon them and lowers them to her lap to dangle between her crossed legs. Worry flickers in the depth of her gaze as she sort of manages to tune in to the goings on, though she’s coming in late to the program and not quite following what’s going on.

Riley trembles for a moment as if working through a small seizure like the other day. It passes just as quickly though, leaving her to offer him a small smile. "Don't worry about me. I'm happy. Happier then you."

-Red continued that loud growl at the creature, her eyes simply locked onto the things frame. Though, she took a step back, watching it carefully. She didn't know right now, if Kitter could possibly be in danger. Sad thing is, for once, -Red had to put someone else before herself.

[Vel] "... I guess you are." The strenght from his body slowly began to drain away, causing him him to slowly slump down onto the ground. By the end he looked nothing more than a life size puppet sitting on the floor... but he was still there but just stareing down ot the ground. "I hope so."

Maniacal_Jester chuckles, and not a pleasant sort of chuckle. "Never you mind, dearie. You are far too amusing for me to bother you with those details," he says, withdrawing his hand from her head. A thoughtful expression crosses his face, and he places a finger on the side of his bony white cheek ponderously. "I could make you my pet! Yes, I could! But not an indoor pet," he muses mostly to himself, beginning to slowly rotate backwards in midair, his bells jingling lightly with his shifting position. "And not one that I would ever put on a leash ... no sir, that would only spoil things ... a pet without a leash, ha! I love it!" He now is floating in a laying position with his back parallel to the ground, still pondering. Kodora's struggles have nearly freed her, perhaps one more solid tug would do it ...

NáessëElanessë just remained there watching for the time being.

Riley kneels infront looking panicked. "Vel? Are you sleepy?"

Archangelinia keeps her bow pointed at the ground and just waits.

[Vel] "I don't know. It feels like I can't move." He says slowly. His body looked limp.

Azacus tilts his head to the side to study her, though apparently the hood still shrouds his eyes and nose and cheeks and hair. That smirk is still plastered across his mouth, ”So that’s it then? Just that purring you think is menacing?”

Riley gently pushes against his shoulders. "Maybe if you lay down for a bit. Go to sleep. Sleeping makes everything okay."

-Red lifted her head somewhat, taking another step back. No words were said to this being as she bared her fangs behind her veil. She was getting rather tense now. Her rage was slowly building, despite her efforts to hold it back.

little_half-breed_kodora she huphed in agrivation " not this shi*t again, " people taking her and trying to make her her pet was getting on her nerves, this is the third person to try this, don't they ever give up?" Look, i really dont have time for this bullsh*t! so if you don't mind, LEAVE ME THE F*CK ALONE!!" she snarled angrilly. and with a finnaly tug, she broke the branches , and quickly bolted off deeper into the heart of the forest.

Vel 's upper body flops to the ground. He staires up at the sky with a blank look on. "Does it? I don't remember what sleeping is like... or waking up." He whispered.

NáessëElanessë finally decided to make a move as she was coming in to stand off to Azacus's side somewhat. She took a glance over at Red and just arched a brow slightly before looking at Az "Something wrong Az?"

Archangelinia steps beside Nae and levels her bow so that her arrow was aimed clearly at -Red's chest. "Aye, my lord, what she said."

Riley smiles. "You should sleep. I'll watch." She reaches out a hand to brush his eyelids closed.

Kitterli is again in the position of having someone possibly trying to defend her against all sound reason. Ah, perhaps there is reason to it, but Kit doesn’t even feel that Kirai should have made such a request. She isn’t deserving of the protection of any. In what way could she repay them? There is no point to her existence, so why try to lengthen it? A small sigh is released as she cradles her forehead in splayed fingers, too weak to even try to protest the endeavor. And it is these thoughts as well, that had lead her to an attempt to take her own life; the fear that another would suffer for her sake as Kirai has.

Azacus begins walking toward the thing, the sapling at his side still held parallel to the ground, ”Such cute little fangs to. Can they do anything besides affect your smile?” He shfits slightly never taking his hooded gaze from his target, "There could be."

[Azacus] to Naesse hes says, "There could be."*

Vel 's eyes close as Riley shuts his eyelids for him. "Oh? Why do that... for me?" He whisperes again.

-Red shot her glare quickly to Arch as those eyes widened. That weapon was aimed at her, and she wouldn't react as calmly as she hoped. In a second, that katana she was holding onto was out now, glinting lightly. They just might notice a small, thin line along the blade's edge. Purpish when looked at correctly. It easily inditcated poison on the blade. Though, this time she took a step forwards, hissing once more. She could hear her counter part screaming at her. Begging her to kill. Small, yet sharp pains pushed against her back, forhead, and her enlarged canines.

Maniacal_Jester suddenly rolls over, his stomach now facing the ground, watching as Kodora runs off and away from him with a surprised expression. Gradually the wicked smile creeps back over his face, eyes half-closed in delight. "Yes. She will be an excellent pet." He does not pursue her ... rather he just makes a casual gesture with his hand, then rolls over and starts moving backwards through the air ... doing the backstroke ... and humming pleasantly to himself. The result of the subtle gesture was to have a black, silver-spiked collar appear neatly around the fleeing half-demon cat ... complete with its own circular silver tag with the name 'Kodora' engraved into it in a neat font.

Riley would be looking mildly guilty again.. if he was watching. As he isn't though, she simply shrugs. "No one will bother me..nope.. just like a skunk in a bucket.." She'll ramble on about quite a bit more, her head lolling to the side.

[Vel] "Thank you..." he whispered. Slipping off into unconciousness.

Azacus wastes no time. As soon as the target draws her blade, actually while she is drawing her blade, Azacus dashes forward, his speed insane. At the same time he lifts his arm, the one holding the sapling. Since the sapling was parallel to the ground lifting his arm would make the sapling act like a battering ram and pack the punch of one two. This ‘battering ram’ would of course be aimed at the head/chest area his acquired target.

Kitterli squeezes her eyes shut a moment, uttering a soft moan of frustration with her own weakness, before she opens them again and sits up straighter, turning a pensive gaze on what looks to be a fight about to take place. A shudder runs the length of her slender figure as she tenses to what little extent her muscles are capable; watching with a growing sense of apprehension. Confusion wars across her ashen features as well.

-Red lifted her head quickly, flicking her gaze to Azacus. Being demon slightly helped. Her speed was incredible as well, simply bringing that katana up as she went to slice that sappling down in half. The only problem was, that didn't stop it from hitting her. She felt the pressure slam against her armor, feeling the full blow of it as she fell back, wincing quite a bit. Yeah...ow. She growled somewhat in pain, slamming her katana into the ground as she used it to stand up. A few times she panted, to catch her breath now as she took a step back. Her hand grasped that hilt, tearing the katana out of the ground as she stepped back now.

Archangelinia followd -REd's form as she was shoved back by the limb and then her actions afterwards, she lets lose the arrow at -Red's chest. If the arrow should hit it should pack enough force to cut through her armor, hopefully.

NáessëElanessë just remained there watching, as the shadows clung about her. Every once in awhile she took a glance over at Kitterli. However she made no movements or indications that she was going to do something, just stood there.

Kitterli ‘s is slow to register that the fight has already begun, but as soon as that clicks, alarm shrills through her weakened body, freezing her for a few brief moments. She even fails to breath as she watches Red struck back. Anxiety twists her exquisite features as a trembling renews itself, racing rampant through her. This is not right. She knows this as surely as anything else. Hm. Well, that doesn’t say much. She’s not quite sure how the confrontation started, but she has the unhappy inkling it has something to do with her. Shaking, she slowly uncurls, taking a try at getting to her feet, though she’s not quite sure where that progress will lead.

Azacus let’s go of the crushed and cut sapling as soon as it has been sundered, holding onto it serves no further purpose. While she is panting our ebony colossus, sprints to the side of his target, and lashes out with his left arm in a devastating backhand, at same time the machination on his left arm hums slightly as a large circular shield of energy is formed. The circle is roughly four feet in diameter and perfectly circular. So yes, essentially Azacus is shield bashing her.

-Red turned in that instant she could hear the arrow let loose. She swiftly ran towards Kitter, being rather largely outnumbered here. The only problem is that the arrow would slam into her right knee. She winced, her eyes snapping open as she turned, clenching her teeth down. And...in that instant she did so, she would get sheild slapped down to the ground. X_x Ow. She fell down, not really worring about the shield hit, more about the arrow lodged into her knee. She growled, feverishly licking at her fangs as she glared up to Azacus, making a feeble attempt to back up somewhat now. Yet damn it all, she's still on the ground >_<

Archangelinia knocks another arrow and aimes it at -red's grounded from. She lets fly the arrow aiming at -Red's arm this time, shoulder more like and the joint to be exact. Hopefully it shall hit. If not, oh well.

Shinji~Ikari walked through the Forest slowly, random branches that had fallen being crushed by his sneakers. He was wearing his school uniform, which was just dress pants, a short sleeved dress shirt, and a white shirt underneath the dress shirt. His wings flicked softly as he looked around for a nice place to sit down and relax for the time being

Azacus manifest one of his nightmarish blades in an instant. The blade is long about seven and a half feet long and curving slightly. Purplish light composes the thing, screaming faces pressing out of the blade, but some how never freed. Silver-ish cords wrap around the blade in a rough double helix. Then attempting to level this blade at the throat area of his downed target he simply asks, ”Do you concede?”

-Red screetched out in pain from the arrow slamming down into her shoulder. Well, there isnt much there. So, it would basically pin her to the ground. Kitter, feel free to come in and stand infront of the arrows anytime. Really, it's no problem at all ^ ^;; She glanced up to Azacus, tiltilng her head somewhat as she clenched her teeth down. What the hell did concede mean? -Red wasn't the best at Common tonuge.

Kitterli is gettin' there o.o;;

NáessëElanessë slowly crossed her arms over her chest as well she was still standing there just watching the on goings as she said nothing. However she did arch a brow slightly at Az's question but made no movements. However her gaze slowly slide over to Kitterli once again before returning to the others.

Archangelinia walks over slowly towards -Red. "Do you give up? Claim him as dominant" She tried to explain to -Red, understanding how she oculd get confused. She had another arrow prepared and aimed at -Red's chest this time, but made no move to let it fly.

Maniacal_Jester floats up further, his humming rapidly becoming less audible, until he disappears into the sky and fades slowly out of existence.
