“Partner….” Ayaka continued to grumble to herself, surveying the Raule-less crowds which sluggishly pilled in all possible directions this place had. The kitsune was so absorbed in her self-thought that her surrounds blurred into the background and all sound was but a distant chatter. Her thoughts melted into a creepy vibe, her somewhat frantic glimpses around being a result of this. She would have to find something to do with herself for the next day. It comforted her to a certain extent to realize that she was not the only one who knew no one and spoke to no one. She didn’t have enough confidence to blow a kiss to a stranger, only to take the life of one on a battle field.

[i] Wait. Isn’t that the chick [b](Ari) [/b]who stripped for attention? [/i]

Now Ayaka [i] really [/i] didn’t have the courage to go to those extremes. She clenched her armor to her sides covering her bare body beneath with a repulse shudder.
Out of her peripheral vision, a blur of white hair falling to her side caught her attention. She found the oddity sudden, pulling a few flinches from her and low-key irritation. “Hey…” She announced calmly with great displeasure while her eyes shift to focus on the character. The image hit her like a throwing knife had came from the ceiling and score a bull’s-eye in her pupil 

“R-r…” Her tongue was so twisted she failed to pronounce even one syllable of his name . However, he was not the only blur of white fur she saw, but her pet fox aswell. She quickly received the animal whom scattered back into her bag, tossing a thankful glance in the fifth year’s direction. The fox seemed to even smile a toothy grin. What’s next? It could speak English? The animal was just as far from normal as the girl’s reaction.

Ayaka’s eyes lowered to the ground, all of the outspokenness had dissolved into seriousness. Had this been a first year she would have taken her animal with some halfassed gratitude and never give it a second thought but she had some respect about herself. 

“Gomen.” She bowed her head for a moment, her foreign , apologetic tongue and hospitality shadowed japan for the short time is lasted, forgetting that this place wasn’t what shes always known. “I owe you. You offered me food which was consumed between the two of us.” She bats her eyes at the guilty fox that made quick work of the food in her bag. “ and I fell on you without apology, yet you return a precious family member to me. I do not prefer to be in debt, one my talents is to cause it…nationally. Likewise, my kind is engineered to be faithful in these situations, perhaps in ways that may be too taboo for humans to fully understand. But of course, not just mere humans are wandering in this place.” 

 Ayaka perked up, her lips part, nibbling the bottom one once as if her next words were reluctant to come out. Her brown eyes began glowing crimson the moment her fingers brushed over the hilt of her whip to which she quickly withdrew from. She tapped her foot in a prudent, rushed manner. “Your wish is my command.” Tilting her head to the side, she finally makes eye contact with the superior. “Only if that is what you wish, which is technically a wish nonetheless.”
