Well that was rather disappointing. One moment you're shopping up a marketplace hoping to get some action, and the next, well you're getting assassinated. Not that the assassination was the disappointing part, but the fact that some bloke just froze the girl you're working to bed with. Really? In truth Eden would have loved an assassination attempt, it would mean that he was still important enough to warrant dead. Of which this latest attempt was met with a disappointed sigh as the blue-haired man took care of it before he even felt the knife in his back. See the trick Eden had up his sleeve was his stone-hard scales, slightly more difficult to deal with as it was akin to wearing a layer of chainmail at all times. It was also similarly weighed, hence his agility was quite surprising for his weight-class, although a good amount of physical activity, and other physical activates kept Eden fit and nimble, for both himself and the ladies. Maybe the assassin would have gotten a hit or two in, but certainly wouldn't be enough to keep him down, not without a fight. Besides he had his latest golden girl to patch him up... And then some. [b][color=f26522]"Well you're no fun at all."[/color][/b] Eden frowned at the stranger too late to stop him from freezing Astrea, [b][color=f26522]"And why would I have guards? I can take care of myself. Now, where did you want this dagger?"[/color][/b] A mischievous smile suggested Eden was not above sticking it in Mirror. Hopefully the ice spell was temporary, if not he was almost certain he could get someone to undo the effects. He had picked up the dagger, or rather kicked it up, sliding his left foot across the blade as he drew it closer and shifted his weight such that the blade laid over his right foot before jerking his ankle and knee up to send the knife skyward. The trick was catching it with his hand when it reached the proper level, a move not done to simply showboat, but also to check just how dangerous the edge was as he paid no mind to gripping the falling dagger by the blade, straddling the hilt with the rest of his hand. And this was when Eve decided to pipe up, uncurling herself from around his neck to berate Eden a bit, and probably converse with Mirror who had defend Eden from this attack. [b][color=ec008c]"Eden, be nice, he saved you from possible harm."[/color][/b] A smart retort from the boy about her saying that about the last dozen girls he was with, as the dragon had called them harmful to him. She replied by clawing his neck, just at the Adam's apple. Again her claws would do hardly anything against his scales, but he'd definitely feel her effort. [b][color=ec008c]"Look, what I mean to say is that he helped you out so you should be more thankful, and she was bad for you anyways. And I'm more than just his friend thank you. Isn't that right Eden?"[/color][/b] Her tone was slightly annoyed at Mirror's accusation, as if she was Eden's only friend or something. [b][color=f26522]"Some help he was, now we have no idea who wants me dead because he scared them off and they got away. Nice going Blue."[/color][/b] Eden was technically correct in his logic. Now he has to continue to watch his back, rather than knowing who it was that wanted him dead, and thus how to devote resources in to stopping this. Yet word of his Mother's most recent death had yet to happen. Thus he was blissfully unaware of trouble back home. Or rather in this case abroad. [b][color=f26522]"Of course Eve, you're my loyal companion, and personal assistant, Oh and also my constant bodyguard."[/color][/b] Said with a cheeky wink are her despite her feigned anger it certainly touched her when he didn't say pet. [b][color=f26522]"Now then, unless you planned the entire attack to get into my good graces, I think you owe me a bit of fun don't you?"[/color][/b]
