[color=ed145b]"I'm so sorry, like really! I had no idea you were here!" [/color]

Riku would help the now soaking wet Thomas up to his feet, positively shocked at how much she had bumbled up this meeting. She's too preoccupied with this embarrassing situation to notice the building fight in the distance. Thomas brought her attention to it with his comments. His meek demeanor changed quickly with the appearance of the strange weapon the princess had never seen before. She was impressed with it's design, feeling an urge to ask all sorts of questions about it. Time was not on her side in this matter.

[color=ed145b]"Oh right! A fight going on? Huh. Already? Yeah yeah I should do something about it..."[/color] The flustered princess gathered her wits from her messy entrance. She was happy to join the stranger's side to make up for her earlier blunder.

[color=ed145b]"Right, let's figure out what's going on and kick a crab's butt!"[/color] She'd charge on ahead with brashness. Secretly she hoped if all the attention went to the battle no one would notice her embarrassing fluke earlier.

"My name is Riku, by the way. Nice to meet you! We can forget about that business earlier...alright?" [/color]

[color=662d91]"If they can't make it this far into the Abyss then they are worthless anyways."[/color]

Nephy the Unliving growled out a rough response. She was fixated on claws of her fingers, licking them clean with careful laps of the tongue. The samurai tends to cleaning after battling the denizens of the lagoon. They'd encountered much worse than crabs in their treks together.

The samurai was hunched up on a comfy ridge of rock. Her legs dangling above the ground as her toes sway idly with restless energy. An intense boredom sat in her dormant black eyes.

Nephy was a necromancer in her world above. In her life, she had sought to right the wrongs done to her family. To remedy their unjustified deaths and restore their life to them. A path that quickly descended into unspeakable actions and violence. A scent of blood wafted from her shoulders that would never be taken away. Buried deep in the countless lives she consumed in a bid to rewrite history. Truthfully, she only regretted she got caught in the end.

[color=662d91]"I'll wait. You can jump in if you'd like. I want to see what these new ones are capable of. The last batch were quite pathetic. Not even worthy to sacrifice."[/color]

Nephy would lean forward to her companion, burdened by time itself. She'd grasp a flickering hand and feel it phase in and out of her feeling, intrigued by it even if she had seen it before.

[color=662d91]"You're flickering in and out more now, aren't you? It'd be a real shame to lose you."[/color]

The cold lips of the deathly specter come to claim her companion's lips. A kiss that pierced through the veil of time like an arrow. 

[color=662d91]"Try to stay in one place this time. Sweetheart."[/color]
