  1. Ren to 3,9 The oni ends up scrunching his nose at just imagining Susan's previous situation, but makes sure not to say anything about it. He does however notice the little spell that acts as a boost for them, but merely appreciates Nisha's shot with a low whistle as he follows along. "Very nice. Great job Nisha!" they offer with a grin, before waving over at Sollowy now that their group's a little more put together. Still not everyone but...details. Bridgit to 41,11 "Makes you wonder what the others have already seen throughout this place..." Her words aren't reassuring really, the Pureblood simply looking on towards the fallen construct before floating over to the other two with a more pensive look.
  2. At his name Ren can't help the small grin in greeting at Susan, nodding back and also giving a short salute with his fingers. "Well met Susan. You're right in that our Company was suddenly whisked away by some unknown entity. Unfortunately I can't provide much about what you've come to know as Ishtaria, since I'm not from around these parts myself." And here he offers a more subdued smile, a touch sad before looking over at his companion. "Assuming you've been here since we fell, am I the first of the others you've seen so far Nisha?" he asks, letting his weapon rest to the side while taking in the room itself. "I'd suggest we head out, group up with whoever we find...but I take it you have other questions?" and here he looks over at Susan again, smile returning. "Maybe one of our other companions can provide the answers you seek."
  3. Ren smashes his weapon to the door again. "Well...could've been worse-" is what Bridgit tries to say, only for their other companion to cast magic on the construct. She has the decency to look startled, only followed by an undignified huff before getting out of the way. "Honestly now, is violence how we're going to accomplish everything here?" Although, the other was still going to apprehend them...Maybe she just thought it'd be nice to make way without fighting someone or something for once?
  4. Ah, a response! "Yes it's me, Ren! Err, not that I'm aware of? I've been looking for the others, and just glad that I found you." It wasn't his cousin nor Gabriela, but anyone was good at this point. When she reaffirmed that someone is there with her Ren does look a bit troubled, mainly because anyone they've found before in the past has only responded with hostile intentions most of the time. Wouldn't do to have a companion trapped with the enemy. Yet, from what he's been hearing as he presses closer against the door, the strange presence doesn't seem to even consider attacking Nisha. Hm, he'll keep an open mind to this for once. But now... "Alright, then you might want to take a step back or so! Unless you and your current companion rather get door debris all over!" he calls out, loud enough for them ((as well as Sollowy, just a heads up)) to hear him. Having given his only warning Ren picks up his weapon... Ren starts smashing against the door. "I...Identification?" she mouths to herself more than question the contraption in front of them as it asks such a thing. Bridgit herself can't help but stay close to Taiyou, trying to figure out what is the best course of action here. Never mind the fact that she will insist on not engaging in sudden combat... Even when knowing that she is without proper papers at the moment, and the construct didn't even direct its attention to her in the first place, Bridgit still offered her own answer in turn. "I am known as Bridgit Vasilia. Sister to Roman Vasilia, former Head of the Knights of Tassion Castle. I hail from Vaia." She gives Taiyou and the other with them a knowing glance, as if letting them know to do the same in hopes this would appease the entity. Bridgit, present identification to the construct
  5. "First we fall, now we have to deal with...whatever that creature is?" Bridgit manages to keep her voice soft as she looks over at Taiyou, but it's obvious the Pureblood isn't finding any of this amusing in the least. Also doesn't help that she's with two individuals from their group that she isn't familiar with, or comfortable enough to let her guard down even without the other potential foe beyond them. She lets out a sigh, burrowing her face deeper into her cloak. Even Ren's company would be appreciated here...damn it. Ren can't help the sneeze that leaves him, scrunching his nose slightly before shrugging as he looks on at the door. Without much preamble the oni knocks on the door, wondering if there's anyone inside. So far it's been nothing but himself along this side, and he's not too fond of that. Especially with Ayane and Shizuka nowhere to be. "Hello? Anyone there?!"
  6. There's only so much to do during long travels, and Ren actively finds himself meditating during most of it. The other times he's not doing so has him either comforting Gabriela and bringing her close as he wraps an arm around her, or making sure Ayane and Shizuka were also faring well throughout this excursion. At some point he even took a look at Bridgit, who's been keeping more to herself than before...aside from the fact that he's seen her inch closer and closer to where Shizuka is sitting. Interesting...veeeery interesting. Leaving well enough alone though the ex human is barely able to focus on going back to meditating when he hears the demon king call out for a body. There's an irritated scowl on his face, already having to deal with the constant mana sap from the wastes to suddenly have that be the first new update in their travels. It's not surprising to see the Fallen volunteer, with the other human following after...but he definitely perks up when Ayane does as well. "..." He says nothing, nor does he volunteer as he goes back to settling down into the wagon once more as he lets out a very long sigh. "You don't have to worry about Shizuka, she's in good hands," he all Ren tells her, but offers a hopefully reassuring smile towards his cousin.
  7. "I'd be surprised if Ren refused you outright," Bridgit answers before Ren can even open his mouth, which only earns her an annoyed glare before quickly switching back to smiling at Gabriela. "Do you even have to ask? I'd say if my cousin can ride along with her girlfriend, she'd be quite the hypocrite if refusing for us to sit in the same wagon," he can't help but tease, looking over to Ayane as if daring her to say otherwise. All in good fun of course, none of his words having a biting remark to them. As that conversation happens Bridgit starts to tune them out, but moves a bit closer towards Ren when she notices Bladen also joining them amongst the group. "Yes, the hood is...adequate," she answers Shizuka instead, tone a tad off due to her noticing that Ren is still holding the maid under his arm before bringing up a hand to cover her mouth. No, she is not laughing thank you. "Is he often like this? I will admit that at the beginning of our travels he seemed more...closed off," Bridgit points out, her voice now taking a softer tone to it as she gets closer to Shizuka. Really she only did so for their conversation to stay between them two, but from an outsider's perspective it could be seen as something else...~
  8. There really isn't any doubt on who Ren would be sharing a wagon with, already making his way towards Ayane...before stopping in his tracks as he realizes he's forgetting something...or well, someone. "Since I don't really trust you away from us just yet Shizuka...hup!" and with an ease only found in someone who knows their own strength, the oni lifts the little lady up and tucks her under his arm. "You're staying close to where Ayane or myself can keep an eye on you alright? Actually," and as he mentions his cousin there she is, already thinking the same thing as himself while also waving at her while making his way over to her. Of course his antics don't go unnoticed by folks, specifically a wary Pureblood that hugs her new cloak closer before keeping in pace with his steps. "Quite the interesting way in how you treat your help. Greetings Shizuka," Bridgit starts with idle chatter, her greeting towards the human soft and mild with no positive or negative infliction. The only thing that could be seen properly from the vampire is her face and the bangs framing it, crimson eyes darkened by the shadows provided from such garment. Her response also earns a scoff from Ren, who ultimately yanks down her hood even further that earns him a yelp from the girl. "If you're going to follow then shush. I prefer you when you're silent," he snipes back with a flat tone to his voice, only slowing down when he notices Gabriela as well...talking to Bladen. Hmm, interesting but not something to worry about. Asami isn't one to be trifled with all things considered, and he's not really the jealous type. Bridgit however notices and offers a wave over to the Siren for her to join them before catching up to Ren once more.
  9. "Hey now, it's alright," the Pureblood tries to reassure the other while gently taking Astraea's hand in her own. "I know how hard it can be to talk about family. It's...still difficult to talk about my own," she offers in sympathy for her new friend, her smile turning a little sad as she looks back at her. "We don't have to, and I won't push you to talk about something that still brings pain to the heart. I can however offer a distraction, and none of that from you! I chose to spend my time here with you, and I see no better company at the moment so you are stuck with me," and there is a finality to her words, but also a playfulness that has been rarely seen from the Pureblood. Something she hasn't felt the need to do in decades... It feels right, doing so now. Knowing exactly why his partner suddenly decided to agree with him has Ren hiding his worry behind a smile while directing Shizuka out of the shop and motioning for Gabriela to follow. "Precisely! No need to overwhelm the lovely shopkeep, and there's so much more to look at before we depart." He's probably wrong, all things considering, but the ex human simply felt the need to break away from any tension that might arise between the new human girl and Gabi. "Gabriela you don't have to do that... Honestly spending more time with you is good enough for me," he answers back before stopping on his tracks and placing a hand on top of Shizuka's head. "Right, almost forgot! Shizuka, would you like to accompany us still or go back to the shop? Sorry for not giving you much of a choice but I didn't want to leave you back there just like that."
  10. "I was actually here accompanying Shizuka in finding a cloak for Bridgit, but ah..." he trails off, watching as said little maid goes off to look for what she had in mind but still clueless of where exactly to start. Also the fact that this is merely a continuation of his own prank on the Pureblood makes the ex human feel sort of bad, having him walk over to her and gently patting her shoulder. "Shizu, Bridgit isn't sensitive to light because of her skin...technically. She's a vampire, I was merely jesting on her behalf," he says with light laughter, then turning to Gabriela with a smile. "If you'd like all three of us can go and search around elsewhere, seeing as I don't really need to get anything. Ah, that is if you want to join us Shizuka? I'll be happy to send you off with Bridgit once more, unless you want to keep on looking here?"
  11. All of a sudden the star is pouring her fears and nerves unto Bridgit, having the Pureblood blink in sudden surprise at being told such things. Things often left for close friends so they can properly help or deal with such emotions. Right now, as she helps Astraea up the vampire doesn't move her hand away and keeps holding onto the other's. A sudden softness is found in her expression, using her other hand to cover the top of the other two in gentle reassurance. "I can't say I'll be able to help with that...but I can understand somewhat. My family is quite small really, only Lavinia actually. My parents as well as my brother...they...." she composes herself, jaw set with a firm but still soft expression. This isn't about her, this is about...her friend. Right now what Bridgit wants to do is help her friend first and foremost. "Do you think that, if you tell me more about them...it'll help?" There's a soft smile on her lips, tilting her head to the side. "I'd love to know more about your family, if that's alright with you Astraea."
  12. "I hope they do too, since Shizuka here is going to help Bridgit find a cloak," is all Ren says as he slides on up behind said maid, using her as an armrest as he grins brightly at Gabriela. Where did he even come from? "Hello dear, having any luck finding what you're looking for?" he asks the Siren, ignoring Seilan and Lucille for the moment to pay attention to his girlfriend. In fact, ever since this trip he's...worried, that maybe he hasn't been paying enough attention to Gabriela. With worries plaguing his mind, it's easy to discard others for the sake of accomplishing goals. That being said, Ren wants to do right for her. Hopefully later on they can have some time together to talk and grow closer. Bridgit felt aimless for a while after Ren and Shizuka left, but seeing Astraea kneeling on the ground brought the young Pureblood out of her thoughts as she quickly hurried over to the girl with worried haste. "Are you okay? What happened? Did someone hurt you?," her questions escalated as she fusses over her friend, offering her hand to help the other stand up.
  13. Ren bit back a sudden bought of laughter at the miscommunication between Bridgit and Shizuka, with the vampire fighting back a twitch of her eye. It's fine, the human doesn't know so it's only valid for her to explain right? Of course, as she opens her mouth Ren is quick to cover it with one of his hands, a bright smile masking the mischief he's actually feeling on the situation. "She's been struggling with it ever since joining the group, and will greatly appreciate your help Shizuka!" he chimes in, now moving over to the little maid and wrapping an arm around her before pulling them both aside. Bridgit meanwhile is left to process what in Hess just happened before facepalming in much regret. Why she lets the oni get away with it is beyond her, but she'll make him pay...hopefully. Ren to 7,12 and Bridgit to 8,12 A Temptation
  14. "If you could, we'd like to see what wares this border holds," a voice calls out from behind Shizuka, the blonde tresses of the Pureblood placed in neat identical twintails as she floats over with a flippant air to her. Ren is just on her right, looking over to the maid and offering a grin and a small wave of his hand. "Maybe something that can benefit my kind during battles?" Bridgit emphasizes while waiting for an answer, letting the peculiar parasol she is always holding twirl and protect her from the sun. Ren to 12,15 Bridgit to 11,15
  15. "And we will keep it that way, for your magic isn't something to be thrown about in the battlefield," Bridgit offers softly as she looks down at her hands. "Trust me when I say that it's better to help another way, and that there's nothing honorable in taking another's life." There's certainly some mixed feelings she's come to realize throughout her journey with the others, but the Pureblood isn't one to openly let them out. Not when others have more important things than pay attention to a spoiled brat. Still, she can't help but feel at ease with the star beside her. Bridgit lets her expression soften as she gives her a small smile, tucking her hands behind her back. "You help enough actually. Caring for us after battle, asking and making sure we're alright...I appreciate that. Truly," she admits while floating up once more. "In fact you just helped me right now! Your presence is a nice one..." [h] At the oni's jab he can't help the growl leaving him in offense. "The only reason I didn't act upon your presence is because it'd be stupid to alert everyone else after such a fight we went through. I had thought of dealing with anything that came up after on my own along with Ayane. Shows how much you know of us," he spats, eyes still narrowed while moving along as he continues to keep an eye on Mae. It's only when she brings up the rest of what she knows that has him shifting away from a threatening position...but only just. Anger is quickly replaced by a fear that creeps through him, realizing what she's talking about. Who she's talking about. "That...she can't. We cannot let this happen, and I can't stress this enough and the immediate danger we're all in if she succeeds," he presses on, glad that his cousin removes the oni away from the priestess. In the meantime he moves over to Taiyou, placing a cold and gentle hand on her shoulder as he makes even more space between the oni and herself. "Are you alright?" he asks, concern on his features before looking over at Shizuka and waving her over with his free hand. "Ayane has the situation under control...for now. We don't know what this Mae really wants apart from...you know," he says this with a slight cough before offering an apologetic smile at Taiyou.
  16. Ren tries to focus on Gabriela and Shizuka, but the suspicions from Ayane came to fruition as the assassin makes her appearance after taunting her. His hands go to grasp Tonbokiri, loose in his hand to make sure they're able to shift into position easier, but wavers at the sudden explanation given before...giving the new oni a flat look as Ayane chews her out. "I...are you serious? You can't be serious, who would even believe that?!" he can't help but shout as he looks incredulously back and forth between Taiyou and the new oni. "Ayane is right, this is ridiculous and outrageous. Spit out your real reasons for being here," he snaps, eyes shimmering a cold blue as he bristles at the situation they have right now.
  17. Bridgit regains her composure as someone calls out to her, not wanting others seeing how hard the words from Lavinia actually hit. When she notices it's Astraea a small and tired smile graces her lips before blinking at the sudden question laced with worry. "Ah, nothing I can't handle really but thank you for asking," she offers politely while floating over to her. It would do no one good if the Pureblood were to suddenly tell the newcomer how she fell in battle before getting healing from Seilan. "How about you? I hope you were able to stay safe while the battle went on?"
  18. His reaction is instant upon seeing Gabriela, the deep relief turning to sudden happiness at seeing his girlfriend before moving away from the little huddle and going over to give her a hug as well. "Gabriela! You don't know how glad I am to see you," he says, gently pulling away to look at her but still holding the Siren close to him. At her wary comment he simply blinks before shaking his head and motioning towards Shizuka and Ayane. "No, not at all. We're just getting acquainted with a friend of ours from the homeland. Gabriela this is Shizuka, Shizuka this is Gabriela...my girlfriend," he offers in greetings while pressing his lips against Gabriela's temple. Of course, all this happens as his cousin gets to talking with the priestess, but when she starts to move away from the group he can't help but let confusion twist at his lips. "Ayane? What's wrong?"
  19. There was only a small blimp of worry and hesitance after the sudden slap coming form Shizuka, but when Ayane only went on to embrace the small maid Ren couldn't help the wide grin on his face as he too joins the hug and wraps them both in his arms. "Well, that is definitely our Shizuka," he jokes, going over to ruffle the maid's hair as well before looking up at the newcomer. Taiyou was it? His grin lessens to one of his more reserved smiles, backing away from the other two girls but also staying close as he listens to what the other has to say. Ukogi, as always, makes his way through the sky after the battle is done and over with. This time instead of perching on top of Ren he finds landing on Shizuka's head, fluffing up his feathers and making himself comfortable.
  20. Bridgit blinks at the sudden rejection, a troubled look passing through her face before schooling herself as to not let it show again. Still, it stings to know that Lavinia thought what she did just now was to garner attention for herself. Letting the older vampire continue the Pureblood simply listens on, any form of comfort making her feel the opposite of what it's supposed to do. If anything it made the nauseating pit in her stomach settle and grow until she herself has to move away from Lavinia. She just wants to help, to show she's not harboring the same resentment and anger towards the hero from when they first met...but even that she manages to mess up. So much for showing the effort she's putting to understand and change her stance. Why would it matter if others only thought of Bridgit as anything but a spoiled brat. "We can leave the conversation for later Lavinia. You're right in that everyone is in need of rest...me included. I'll be making my leave now," and before the older vampire could even stop her she makes a swift getaway, floating out of reach and towards the opposite direction. With everyone else occupied Bridgit simply decides to use this time to be alone and actually rest...and hope to Hess that these feelings were fleeting. "Nothing I couldn't handle," he says as he offers Ayane one of his charming smiles, obviously still teasing her before the mood could be brought down. At her genuine concern his smile softens before giving her a one shoulder shrug. "I know you won't dear cousin. Believe me when I say my faith in you is unwavering, and I don't think that'll change any time soon," he adds, then blinks at the sudden request from his cousin. He nods, knowing this to be a serious topic at hand, but before he could even reply back his eyes catch sight of someone...familiar. He's proven right when the little maid calls out their respective titles, eyes widening before a grin appears on his lips. "By the gods, Shizuka? Is that really you?" he asks incredulously, the pleasant surprise still running through him at knowing familiar faces from their home country are making themselves known. "How on earth did you even get here?!"
  21. Oh dear, Bridgit could practically feel the hero's tension and stress, can basically cut through it with one of her nails if need be. Before it got even a tad awkward the Pureblood sighs softly under her breath before floating towards Marina, standing by her side as she uses one of her hands to flip aside a twin tail. "You've heard the Hero. Take this chance to recuperate, join up with fellow comrades and rest. This is only the beginning, don't let this victory get over your heads for there is still work to be done." Her words are firm, lack the brightness of Marina's own but hold conviction as she backs up the human. For once this isn't her taking the opportunity to belittle the hero, but to stand next to her as an equal on the battlefield. Gently and subtly she takes the other's hand and squeezes it, still facing the others with a steady gaze before letting go as she moves away. "I for one would love to get clean, and spend some time with my dear sister. I suggest you all do something similar," she ends her own little chat with a tired wave of her hand before covering her mouth to stifle a yawn. Making her way towards Lavinia she keeps it together enough until she's near enough to actually bring the older vampire into a hug. Bridgit buries her face into her chest, no tears falling but the heaviness of what happened that day finally taking a toll on her. "I'm glad you're safe sister." Ren simply looks on as the vampire brat actually does something heartfelt for once, feeling his shoulders sag a bit before moving on to look for his cousin and girlfriend. He'd love nothing more than to drop then and there, injuries be damned, but the ex human needs to make sure the girls are okay themselves. When he finds Ayane first a small tired smile can be seen twitching on his lips, and before she can say anything or protest he brings his cousin into a bone crushing hug. "You did great out there Ayane. Didn't even need my help," he can't help but tease, pulling away only to bring his hand up to ruffle her hair. Once done with his familial affections Ren lets his smile drop into a small frown, yet eyes stay soft on her. "How are you feeling?"
  22. The battle is over, and they won...but the victory tastes like ash and cinder in Bridgit's mouth at the scene transpiring in front of her. "What a right mess," she says softly, leaning against her umbrella as she feels her wounds take toll on her immortal body. While there is a part of her that wants to comfort her friend, another part simply wants to make her way towards Lavinia and slump against her in familiar comfort. This reminds her too much of that time, empathizing on the death of a family member as she closes her eyes and lets out a shuddering breath. Whatever, she'll pick herself up. Continue marching on. Time waits for no one, even one as herself. "Well, at least with this we only have a few more threats to deal with," she continues on, grimacing at the poor state everyone's in including herself. "I don't suppose we could take a small respite before moving-" She stops, wincing at the oni shouting at the corpse before apologizing at Taliyah for her rash actions. "Quite the tact you have there," she remarks, giving Ayane a look of disdain as she goes to direct her next words at Ren. "Might want to reign in your cousin...ah?" Bridgit falters as she looks over at the older oni, who simply stares on blank face over to Ayane. There's an...eerie air about it, one that sends a shiver down the Pureblood's back, but it all shifts once he breaks out of the unusual stare and looks over to her with a familiar annoyed look. Honestly that's more comforting than...whatever that was. "Oh shut your mouth brat, we've all been through a difficult experience. Especially Taliyah, so the least you could do is show some sympathy," he retorts, earning a scoff from the vampire before he makes his way towards Gabriela and Ayane to make sure they're fine. The Pureblood gives him one more odd look before heading over to Lavinia herself, blond hair trailing behind her.
  23. Bridgit to 15-20, Shade Myrm #3 "Oh look, the guess the gang's all here." There's only so much Bridgit could take, mainly so when dealing with a fight as long as this one. In her honest opinion this is starting to drag on, the Pureblood letting his tongue click in irritation as she looks over at the others. "We don't know about you lot, but this Bridgit is quite done with this dastard and his lackeys," she spats, letting dark magic gather as she directs her next assault at the Myrm nearest her.
