Not that she should be surprised, but she had been enjoying that dinner rather thoroughly after all of the prior mess today. It had almost taken her mind off of the desire to get back home, not in the sense of properly getting rid of it though. It was more along the lines of numbing the feelings of homesickness that had begun to creep into her since her arrival. However, this instance sent a vibe of rage coursing through her blood. How dare they interrupt a meal like uncultured swine! But more importantly, attacking innocents in the first place even was enough to get her blood boiling and her fury roused like a bonfire! Sanaki leapt from her chair, and charged toward the door as fast as her legs could carry her. [color=violet]"To me, heroes! We must stop this threat, first by halting their advance here!"[/color] A tome came out from within her robes as she moved outside, the red-covered book's pages flipping as if moved by some nonexistent wind. If the others from earlier knew anything, and saw anything, about Sanaki's actions earlier....they would know which tome this was the "big guns". And its name was- [center][color=violet][h3][b]"Cymbeline!"[/b][/h3][/color][/center] Aiming away from where the swordswoman named Youmu was beginning her rampage, the Empress dropped a fiery meteor out of the blue upon where another area where the enemies were thick and rushing down the street in numbers. Including many of the ones who seemed to be using the innocent to multiply. Indeed, they would feel the power of her might, the sting of her wrath, and the vehemence of the Empress of Begnion who would not stand down to these cretins! [hr] [center][h1][color=crimson][i]Li Shuwen[/i][/color][/h1][/center] [center][i]Ikebukuro, Tokyo[/i] [/center] [hr] [color=crimson]"Haha! Then perhaps this beast is pursuing prey? Circling like a vulture upon its quarry....or perhaps seeking to keep check on whatever is in the center of this area as has been mentioned. Truly, you can only hope to go there, to the center of all of this, if you seek to find the truth! Regardless, perhaps at the center of that earthquake is a foe most worthy of fighting, if it poses such danger as to compel this beast to actions like this!"[/color] Shuwen said, giving a hearty laugh after speaking about the situation, after having listened to the others speak or communicate otherwise before his turn arrived. He seemed to not care about the sudden arrival and insertion of himself into the situation, though prospects of a good battle were second to none for him in getting him on board with this current situation. Even He then looked over at the wolf before continuing, speaking directly to it, looking it directly in the eyes, his intent and warrior's passion nearly glowing. Indeed, perhaps he hoped his fighting spirit and intent would be more easily communicated to this animal than mere human words? There was perhaps only one way to find out, in his mind, the intent to assist it in this "hunt" and strike down the foes they met along the way. He then turned his head toward Hibiki, eyes cool and collected as a true martial arts master, before continuing once more- [color=crimson]"Ah, but on another note, you seem to be a fellow student of the martial arts. My name is Li Shuwen, a master of Bajiquan. What styles have you been taught, girl, and what sort of master taught you what you know?"[/color] -only to seek to finally sate his interest about this girl here. Her fists, her stance, all spoke of experience and training, of having been drilled by a master. Such a thing was nostalgic, if not already getting his blood surging at the thought of a potential spar or battle at least.
