[color=steelblue]"Forgive me Lady Eos, I had a suspicion of your identity but I don't like to assume things. Keeps me alive nine times out of ten."[/color] He noted the small frown on her face, he couldn't help but feel somewhat bad that he was ruining such a rare show of affection from Roma and Eos, it almost made him want to leave. Almost. [color=steelblue]"And no. My senses are most certainly not dulling, I would say they're sharper than ever now that I don't have to constantly be smelling sulfur in the burning depths of Hell."[/color] As he straightened himself from his bow, he actually caught the faint smell of sulfur, which was quite unusual for- [color=steelblue]"SHIT!"[/color] A blade of energy nicked Henry's cheek as he swerved his head out of the way as quickly as he could, a thin red line standing out against his pale visage as he began to bleed. His eyes narrowed as he nearly drew his sword on the spot, but he held himself back. There was only one person who could've struck from inside the house and he wanted an explanation before he attacked one of his only friends in this city. Lo and behold, Bastion emerged from the door with palm outstretched, electricity visibly crackling in her open palm. Her eyes were hardened, Henry had never seen that look in her eyes. Not when she was being controlled by Victoire when he first met her, not when he fought her in the forests of Arcadia and he tried to capture her, and certainly not when he visited her home with a fruit basket in hand to apologize for his shitty behavior. He looked to Roma with a questioning gaze, he honestly had no idea what to do in this situation. His hand hovered near his sword for but a moment, his stance defensive and crouched as he unconsciously prepared for a fight, but he slowly began to stand up and relax as he waited for the next move. [color=steelblue]"I don't plan on going anywhere to be frank. A friend invited me to their house and I brought fruit. I don't feel like letting it go to waste."[/color] A cocky grin settled on Henry's face as per usual, but it was a poor cover for his inner turmoil. What the fuck was going on today?

Not that they mattered, the low born rank and file of Hell meant nothing in the grand scheme of things, they were just bodies to throw at other bodies. She raced through the ravine with a scowl on her face, backhanding any of the scorpions who thought they could approach the King of Dragons. As she made her way through the Ravine, powering through any and all obstacles, she found herself to be the first in a strangely calm Oasis. She found herself taking a deep breath, her eyes blinking rapidly as she looked around. Something smelled funny, but she had no time to think on that. A massive Hydra rose from the waters with a mighty roar and Nina prepared to take off into the skies, but she paused. Normally she wouldn't even hesitate to roar in defiance and try to kill the creature, but something about the air was calming her down. She hadn't felt this calm for months admittedly, it wasn't all that bad...

Unfortunately Saef failed to account for one thing. Bonesword wasn't alone in this fight. Rose sped past Saef at mach speeds, intercepting the holy blast with her body and the energy shields which covered her body. Some of the blast made it past her regardless, Saef had made quite the wide attack, but it was only able to cut some of the vines upon which Bonesword rode. Rose hovered in place to block Saef, wagging her finger in a disapproving manner with a playful smile on her face. [color=orangered]"Now now, it's rude to shoot at someone while their back is turned! You gotta make a dramatic entry first like, 'You're not getting away that easy!' or whatever it is you Angels say."[/color] She giggled a little at her Angel impression, then pointed at Saef with her left index finger and a whole lot of energy cannons. [color=orangered]"Here, I'll show you how to do it. If you wanna get him you're gonna have to go through me!"[/color] With that said the energy cannons began to glow a bright orange as they charged up, ready to fire upon Saef for thinking he could attack a Machina with impunity.

Chen tapped his rapier upon the ground once more and the ground began to shake, vines lifting the earth beneath them and carrying them forwards to the ravine. [color=springgreen]"If you see anyone you wish to engage, just hop off. You'll find your landing quite soft if you aren't able to land on your feet."[/color] If anyone wished to take him up on the offer they would find a soft pile of flowers awaiting them, even if they didn't bother to say a single thing. Chen had no wish to fight the soulless machines nor the foul beings that came from Hell. He only had eyes for the destination in front of him and he would have no mercy for any who tried to get in his way.
