Lila carefully heard as the strange dragonkin talked. It was hard to decipher him, his voice wasn't threatening, his movements weren't menacing, but he was still very suspicious. She simply couldn't see through his intentions.

[color=darkorchid]"Do not fear me. I am no threat. A friend no. But an enemy even less."[/color] He said, in a cryptic tone.
Lila maintained her pose. She might be young, but she had shed too much blood already to be fooled by smooth words.
He claimed he wasn't a threat, but he hadn't even lifted a finger to help her with the cultists.
[color=C6DEFF][i]"Either he is with me, or against me."[/i][/color] she though to herself, trying to analyze the mysterious dragonkin without success. 

That was when she was interrupted by two cultists. Their movements were synchronized, even the way how they held their blades. They cackled as they surrounded Lila. Their synchronized movements were actually helping Lila, as she only needed to focus on one of them, and she would automatically know where the other was.

[color=darkorchid]"Boring.. these are no challenge at all for you.." [/color] the dragonkin whispered. The cultists immediately looked around, afraid that they weren't alone. The last thing Lila saw was the dragonkin making a signal with his hand to her remain silent. After that, the dragonkin disappeared completely. Sound, smell, nothing. It was like his existence was completely erased, even for Lila's enhanced senses. Lila was surprised about that. Nobody had ever escaped her senses like that... Who was he?

Two loud blows broke the silence as he reappeared in front of Lila. The two cultists flew with the impact, their bodies falling shortly after he reappeared. She wasn't able to even see his attacks. He would indeed be very troublesome to deal with if he turned out to be her enemy.

Apparently oblivious about Lila's distrust on him, he simply stood there, with a smirk on his face, looking down at her, due to his height. Although he was inside Lila's range, he didn't seem to be even a little worried about that. Was that trust or arrogance? Was he putting himself inside the range of Lila's weapon purposely, to say he wasn't an enemy, or he was simply there because he was sure that she wouldn't hit him even if she did attack?

The thought that he was actually looking down on her, not seeing her as a threat irritated Lila, but nevertheless, he had proven his point. Lila had a delicate and inoffensive appearance, she was aware about that fact, but even after seeing her killing the cultists in one swift attack he was still standing there, looking at her. Not even the most courageous warrior would purposely put his body in front of a blade.

[color=darkorchid]"My name is Wasu and I intend to observe. However I was distracted by your presence.. Lila. Oh. I am entirely weaponless." [/color]

[color=C6DEFF]"Wasu... I can't say I trust you, but you have proven your point."
[/color]
[color=C6DEFF]"The enemy of my enemy is my friend, at least for now."[/color] she said, lowering her scythe. Whoever was that man, she would watch him very closely. He knew Lila even though she had never seen him before. His abilities, his objectives... he was covered in secrets. And Lila didn't liked that even one bit.

But she had more important things to worry about right now than Wasu, for example the heat and the horrible smell of burnt corpses coming from the battlefield, behind the jungle.
[color=C6DEFF]"Fire..."[/color] Lila mumbled to herself.
[color=C6DEFF]"Farewell, Wasu. The next time we meet I will have my answers."[/color] she said, grabbing her scythe and heading to the battlefield to help the soldiers. Whatever it was the situation there, surely it wasn't very pretty, especially with the heat and the terrible smell of burnt corpses coming from the battlefield.
