Flirty, she appreciated it. It kept her from getting bored, at the very least. She just wondered why he wasn't making eye contact, looking at the book instead. As if he could read her mind, he apologized and eplained his situation. She felt a bit sympathetic, not that she'd let him know that. She didn't want him thinking she pitied him. 

Glancing down, Ruth took in the way his free hand twitched on the table, a small smile tugging at her lips. [color=F93FE7]"I can see that."[/color] She paused, trying to think of something else to say. A glance at the clock, and she realized her next class was in about twenty-five minutes. [color=F93FE7]"So, what's your major?"[/color]

[color=ed1c24]"I study history, mostly as a defence really."[/color] Felix said, his eyes misting over in thought, [color=ed1c24]"My family has many enemies, many of whom declared blood feuds. I figured I'd turn it into a degree seeing as I spent so much time on it. Honestly after I get my PHD I plan to work in a dojo. Enough about boring old me, what brings you here?"[/color] As he flicked through the book, he pulled another sheet out his bag and started making notes. Yeah, his father hadn't bloody warned him until the faerie attack. Blasted idiot hadn't realised his grandfather was telling the truth as he had barely any fae blood in him.

Ruth blinked, unsure of how to respond to that. He had gotten so serious, so fast. Then, just like that, he had pulled a complete one-eighty. She really wasn't sure if she wanted to know more about these blood feuds of his. Maybe it was best that he had changed the subject. [color=F93FE7]"I, uh, study English, like I said. I want to be an English teacher one day."[/color] English had been her second best subject in school, science being her first. Despite this, she favored the former topic. 

Felix was about to reply when the library door was slammed open. A vision of pure anger framed in aura that promised death after intense torture. He barely managed to dodge a strike from a kendo sword. Oh, now he remembered her. Jenny... or was it Jill? He knew it began with a J... her sister was a great lay.

[color=ed1c24]"Ah, Jessica,"[/color] Felix guessed, adopting a defensive stance, [color=ed1c24]"So nice to see you again."[/color]

Clearly this was the wrong thing to say as she screamed and charged at him. "MY NAME IS KATE, YOU ASSHOLE!!!"

For a moment, Ruth merely sat in shock as a woman with a strange looking sword began charging at her new friend. It appeared as though he had scorned this poor girl. And he didn't even have the common courtesy to call her by the correct name! She couldn't let him die, though. As entertaining as it would be to watch him fight unarmed against a woman with a sword. 

Popping up from her chair, she stood directly in the path of the woman, crossing her arms over her face and focusing on strengthening the front of her body. She could feel the tightness in her forearms and chest, her skin thickening rapidly to defend against the presumed attack. [color=F93FE7]"Kate, stop! Is this really what you want to go to prison for?"[/color]

The girl looked at Ruth in confusion, then to Felix. "This wouldn't kill him otherwise Lady Tit-" she was silenced by Felix punching her in the stomach. It only seemed wind her slightly

[color=ed1c24]"Sorry, family buisiness. Talk to you later!"[/color] Felix grinned, leading the girl out the library. As soon as they were away from the library, the glamour surrounding Kate faded revealing her skin to be night blue, and her ears were like knives. The blade was revealed to be a bronze longsword of gaelic design. He knew he shouldn't have tried dating an Unseelie, but they were just so hot.

Ruth stared off after Felix and Kate, awkwardly uncrossing her arms and letting her powers fade. She waited a few seconds, then hurried off after him. Upon leaving the building, what she saw had her giggling. This was way more fun than making it to class on time! The woman was blue, with pointed ears that made her seem like an elf. 

[color=F93FE7]"Well, what do we have here?"[/color]

Felix was between a rock and a hard place. The winter elf would kill him if he didn't use his powers, but then he'd reveal himself as Fire Fist. He liked his privacy, though admittedly he did enjoy life more. The man stopped, and turned back to face Kim. His eyes glowed red with power, as coil like brands appeared on his arms. He punched forward, and an explosion of energy sent the fae flying back. Again he moved into a stance, but this was the more agressive stance of bakuken.

[color=ed1c24]"Shall we dance, Maiden of Winter?"[/color] 

Kate slid into an offensive stance, her sword at a slant in front of her body. She'd deal with the girl later, for now, she had to complete her task. Felix's fighting style was deadly, she knew that, but she'd been alive and training far longer than him. Rushing forward, she kept her sword close to her body until the last second as a defensive measure. Then, swinging up, she brought her sword down in a long arc towards his torso. 

Ruth watched the fight, unflinching. She was more than slightly pissed that Fire Fist had fooled her. He could manage, surely. She'd step in if things got intense. 

To some the sword strike might have been fast, impossible to dodge, but Felix had fought against swordsmen of similar levels since he was thirteen. He had the scars to prove it. He stepped in to her guard, using an elbow strike on her swordhand and chaining it into a palm strike to her jaw. The resounding crack on the impact implied he had broken one of her bones.

[color=ed1c24]"Suppose I can't convince you to return to the Winter Court? I don't enjoy killing women."[/color]

[i]Killing? What the hell?[/i] Ruth wasn't about to let this girl die, Kate had previously said she wasn't going to kill him. She understood roughing up the occasional criminal, but killing was taking it to an extreme. So, while the girl was still in shock over her broken jawbone and struggling to speak with blood pouring out of her mouth, Ruth rushed in from behind and struck her in the back of the head with a hardened fist. 

Kate's lights went out, and she fell to the floor without much pomp. After kicking the girl's sword away from her body, Ruth stared up at Fire Fist, disappointment clear on her face. [color=F93FE7]"S'pose I'll have to miss my next lecture to take her back to the HQ. Can't trust you not to murder her."[/color] 

Without another word, Ruth slung the woman's body over her shoulder and began planning out the quickest and most secretive route to her vehicle in her head. She quickly jogged off, not wanting to listen to another word out of Fire Fist's mouth.
