[b]"Okay then, I guess you're not here to make friends.[/b]

Cho sensed the hostility of the woman way before her shield went up, but he kept his distance. This lady had appeared seemingly out of nowhere, armed to the teeth and with an intent to seemingly cause hurt.

Then again, this was an arena and arenas were where people came to fight. Cho guessed that she was the same, no doubt told by whatever high powers that she followed. It was eerily similar to his encounter with Kolskegg, when he was human.

He wouldn't take a chance this time.

This warrior had only a sword, spear and shield with her, along with armour. Using his sniper rifle here would be overkill. That being said, he flipped Tac's bipod down and took off the sling, moving slowly to the side to set the sniper rifle down on a nearby piece of marble. His remaining three weapons would do the trick, he surmised, and he'd probably be using his knife a lot more. Tac wasn't very pleased.

[color=9ec5e2]"Boss? Again? Really?"[/color]

He chuckled and sighed.

[b]"Relax, Tac. You'll get your chance. Besides, it's not like I already use you a lot in regular missions, right?"[/b]

The daemon, and by extension the rifle, harrumphed in resignation.

[color=9ec5e2]"Ugh, fine. But not again, y'hear me? Next fight you're taking me along!"[/color]

Inwardly Cho could imagine the plague demon crossing his arms in defeat.

[i]Focus. This is a fight.[/i]

Right.

He took Kris into his hands and shouldered the submachine gun. The shadow daemon within giggled with glee as Cho thumbed off the safety and held her in a low ready stance.

[color=25a8ba]"Ooh! Ooh! New person to shoot! Glee!"[/color]

[b]"Patience, Kris. Relax."[/b]

The soldier glanced down at the gun. It seemed like she was...grinning? He couldn't tell.

Cho returned his gaze to the warrior ahead of him. She'd backed up against a large broken pillar, her shield blocking most of her body and her spear creating a very good reason not to get too close to her.

[b]"Warrior, at least give me thy name! It would not be fair if I were to fight a nameless hero!"[/b]
