How infuriating. Tossing the dagger up into the air and catching it again a few times as the big blue boy seemed to frown at Eden's antics. He had taken his own assassination attempt as a jest really, as the dagger could barely cut him from the grip of things. The blade was just far too dull to cut through his stony scales. That was the benefit of having oro blood mixed in the tyro, though they seemed to stand at opposite ends of the spectrum with respect to dragons. The downside of course was the increased weight those scales had, making it difficult to move swiftly, but training took care of that. Being accustomed to fighting under one's own weight after all, was the bare minimum any fighter could ask for. Plus the royalty had left his single piece of armor and weapon back in his room, to which walking around bare-chested and barely covered in his battle kilt was all too natural for Eden. Well, one could argue he'd prefer to lose the kilt even, but there are some standards of decency, plus Eve would scream Eden's ear off should he decide to drop his pants in public with her around him. [b][color=f26522]"Look, I don't know who you are, so if you expect me to trust you, you better start talking Blue."[/color][/b] He cocked a smug look at Mirror, as if to challenge him to do otherwise. [b][color=f26522]"Besides, you're not my type."[/color][/b]

[b][color=ec008c]"Eden be nice, I don't think he was offering your kind of fun and knowing each other.[/color][/b] Her eyes blinked curiously at Mirror. Who was this tall man and what did he want with her Eden? Stop that Eden, thought to herself as Eden's finger gently petted her head. It was hard to look protective when you were being coddled by someone you love. Not that Eve loved Eden in the way he usually loved his women. No that was, impossible, not only physically impossible but just mentally disturbing. Although that was not to say Eve was not proud of her Eden's accomplishments, and certain qualities, but to think of him as that sort of partner was... Well, Eve probably wasn't Eden's type either. It's probably for the best really, or as she thought since their relationship, despite as bickering as it was, would last much longer than a single night. [b][color=ec008c]"I think you should at least hear him out, he looks important.[/color][/b]

[b][color=f26522]"Alright alright, You heard her Blue, we'll play along for now." [/color][/b] Eden slipped the dagger under his belt, tucked underneath the kilt alongside the sword he had taken from his disgraced opponent. A dragon-blood named Garth or Gouda, something like that. Names were not very important to Eden unless of course they were important to Eve, like the countless nameless girls who would be but a memory sometime ago. The very fact that he hadn't produced any bastard children yet was a testament to his luck with these poisons strange kept with his gear. But imagine if they really did being to assassinate everyone within his lineage, then well, all these children would be dead anyways right? Yet oblivious as ever, well as news travelled relatively slowly, Eden was unaware of his own mother's death.

[b][color=f26522]"I don't know Blue, do you have daughters of your own?"[/color][/b] Eden relaxed in the other man's room, tippng a chair on a tilt as he sat balancing himself with his lance over his shoulders. He had wore his full get up now, armor and all, deciding it was fine time to armor up in case of further attempts. And Eve was quietly curled up into a circle around his neck. She was carefully looking about the room, alert to any intruders or dangers that might suddenly appear. [b][color=f26522]"Or what about boyfriends or husbands? Anyone jealous that you've been with their girls? That's probably the main reason I can think of."[/color][/b]. He straightened himself up and flipped his gunlance on his right shoulder to aim at Mirror before imitating firing a round almost childishly. What purpose did this have other than the perhaps put Mirror on edge? Or perhaps at ease that his guest was hardly taking this seriously at all. [b][color=f26522]"Or maybe a list of people that want to kill you just to say they killed you. Make your mark in history and all that, or maybe they didn't like my houses or something. your guess is as good as mine Blue."[/color][/b]
