Riku knew Victorie would not be so easily convinced. She kept her hands behind her back and her head low and meek to take a more humble posture. A curved smile on her lips as the princess makes herself as friendly and charming on the surface as she can manage. She wished to give an aura of being too simple minded to ever have room for deceptions. 

[color=ed145b]"Oh don't let my looks fool you. I have all an exorcist would ever need."[/color] Riku pulled her cross necklace up from her neck to show it off, followed by her extending the blade end of her scythe right in front of Victorie, nearly poking her nose.  

[color=ed145b]"I have the tool for redemption.."[/color] She made a gesture to her cross. [color=ed145b]"And judgement. All right here." [/color]She finished by slashing her scythe through the air. [color=ed145b]"And uh. I don't know if this is offensive to say or anything but...hallowed ladies of the undead such of yourself tend to end up attracting annoying spirits. They just love that dream of living while dead, attracted to it like flies to a corpse. Fitting metaphor right?"[/color]

Riku walked around Victorie as she sheathed her weapon, having concluded her theatrics. She ran a hair through her spiky hair and leaned against one of the chalky albaster pillars that supported the ceiling. 

[color=ed145b]"I understand your concerns about me. I am eager to prove them wrong. You can keep a close eye on me the whole time, or send me away into exile if you must. I assure you though, past enemies you've sent packing to the afterlife don't just disappear. They definitely find ways to get back at you from beyond the veil."[/color] The reaper says with a knowing nod, sure she had made a solid case for herself. [color=ed145b]"That's where I come in." [/color] She stepped from the pillar and jutted her chest out proudly. It was hard for the girl to stay still. 

She broke away from her attention on the mysterious vampire a moment to observe the fellows gathered in the castle lounge. [color=ed145b]"Oh howdy there! There's so many faces here. So much to keep up wi-"[/color]

Her greeting stops cold when her eyes glanced across Kanbaru, who hadn't noticed her yet. The princess has a moment of white shock, terror leaks out onto her face. She beat her chest and coughed into her fist, as if she's taken ill suddenly to play off her built up fear. The red rose was terrified that Kanbaru was here.

[color=ed145b]"Friendly faces, all around. Mmhm..."[/color] She plays it off like nothing happened, and resumes her focus on Victorie. [color=ed145b]"So, any questions?"[/color]
