Ivory stood in the crowd even as it began to disperse, trying her best to just blend in and avoid attention. That was until she heard another woman yawn, "cancelling it, just like that? So much for a true test of skill and fighting spirit. I guess this whole 'World Warriors' thing isn't such a big deal after all...", to nobody in particular.

Now in most cases, Ivory would've just brushed that off with the other complaints and faint discussions the other gathered Nomads engaged in. But what caught here interest was the woman's arms. Or rather, lack of arms? Rather than regular human arms, they were made of metal. Cybernetic. Giving them a quick scan, Ivory deduced that they certainly weren't of any make she ever saw before or had been registered by Horizon Frontiers Database. This made her a very clear anomaly. Though Ivory had just agreed seconds ago to lay low while HQ worked out what to do, that only applied to the list of candidates she was supposed to hunt down before the tournament went south. This woman, on the other hand, was unexpected, and at least deserved observation.

Besides, nothing wrong with working a little overtime, right?

Ivory crept her way to the cyber-armed girl, taking a few brief steps to reach her.

"Honestly the tournament [i]is[/i] a bit of a sham. Most of the Nomads gathered here are either rich or famous enough to warrant an invitation. Actual strength or competence of Nomads comes third." She explained, looking at Anna with her ambergreen eyes, "Chances are anyone who actually looks like a decent fighter here is either putting on a show or just came to watch." 

Ivory's shilling personally didn't actually reflect her beliefs, the World Warrior Tournament was a prime event for observations and picking new targets to hunt down. Unlike most other fields, if a Nomad was rich or famous enough it could be due to them being a strong fighter to begin with. However she did her best to get close to the cyber-armed woman, just pave the way until she could work the conversation towards her robotic arms.
