[b]Sable Rhodroth - [color=red]Wretched One[/color][/b]

Crocus, The Flower Blooming Capital, as it was so casually called. His home far away from home, the place where Cringle had ended up at. The small girl that he had known before was older now, more grown up. He bit his bottom lip as he stomped through the crowded street; the people knew who he was, whether fondly or out of fear, they hustled to get out his way.

He was a Dragon Slayer, a mage who could kill a Dragon, the only thing standing in the way if one of them ever came back. But in a world where those beings had long left Ishgal, he was just a reckless and powerful mage. A wizard that could raze a city with little more than a misplaced roar. And honestly that brought a smile to his face, even if he didn't show it. Today however was a special day so he would refrain from doing the usual rampaging. Even if it meant walking around with Cringle and her librarian boyfriend.

"Why did [i]he[/i] have to tag along?" Sable asked rudely, prodding his chin towards her new boytoy. "When you said yea to coming with me I was happy but than you show up with this ass-wipe." 

"Shut up, Sable. Don't talk about Yuki like that," she spoke in her usual indifference. 

"Like what?" 

"Like I'm not even here," answered Yuki, his pale lips in a frown, bushy brows furrowed. 

A menacing chuckle came from Sable as he folded his arms over his chest. He eye'd the man with a killer gaze. "Are you kidding me! trying to get tough or something!?" he yelled, flames licking his skin with every octave he delved into. "Hush it up before I roast ya, she's mine." 

Yuki gulped hard before reaching down and grabbing Cringle's hand into his own. "Not anymore, Sable. Get over it, you look pathetic chasing after her. Can't you tell she doesn't want you?" 

Deep breaths came from Sable as he struggled with the timeless argument. Since he joined the guild, she'd only shrugged off his confessions and advances. After getting her most recent boyfriend, she had only grew colder. Even still, feeling like a fool wouldn't quail his raging heart, only knocking this guy's lights out would. With a start, he rushed forwards, his fist ablaze. 

Fearfully, Yuki took a unneeded step back as if it would save him from Sable's rage. The only thing that could save him, had, and that was Cringle intervening. With a fluid grip on his wrist, she controlled his anger and flipped the youth onto his back. The world went for a loop before realigning itself a second later. He looked up at the sky, brows twitching with anger as he heard Cringle leading Yuki away. 

"Dammit. I just got my ass whooped by her... again," he told himself, the murmurs of the crowded streets finally reaching his acute hearing.
