[i]Colorful[/i] language aside, it was good to see Vară regain a modicum of reason. Thankfully, with her senses returned, the demon noble thought to manifest her companion to assist Zeka, with Vivian haughtily tossing a lock of her frosty hair over her shoulder. [color=7bcdc8][b]"Just so you know, I will have to reprimand you for that skank comment. But that will come later. For now-Oh. You're here too now, little mouse,"[/b][/color] Vivian noted, before listening to Zeka's prompt for them to finish it. 

[color=7bcdc8][b]"A sound suggestion,"[/b][/color] Vivian said, raising her rock-inlaid arm before hopping once, her legs turning to needlepoints that scored the ground beneath, covering them in a thick layer of frost before she leaned forward, surging along with her ice to match Vară's pace. With her demon companion's power, Zeka's magic, and her own speed, this would have to be the decisive climax of this battle.

Circling around Kazenosuke once, Vivian would raise one leg in a perfect split above her head, preparing to match her timing with Var's to deliver a two-pronged attack with no way out. It wasn't exactly a graceful sort of move, but this was her first time dancing not only with a swordsman, but as a trio with varying styles in a land she didn't know.

Surprised by her own freedom, Matsuri hurriedly moved to a better position to try and get a shot at the other Varjans, only to find that they'd already been routed. Just as she was starting to wonder if the shinobi had done this, a figure emerged from the heat's haze to...return her lunch.

Dumbfounded, Matsuri accepted it with both hands, ears twitching as she blinked a few times behind her mask. [color=fdc68a][b]"...Eh?"[/b][/color] she asked, before remembering that this was the packed lunch she'd left a few hours ago. Not an unwelcome returned gift, but she really hoped this shinobi woman wasn't starving herself for courtesy's sake. [color=fdc68a][b]"Oh, right! I'm Matsuri,"[/b][/color] the inari said, lifting her mask to face the shadowed woman with her usual face. [color=fdc68a][b]"Thanks for helping out there. I'm sorry about the forest, but...a-at least the fire should stop, once the two fires hit each other and run out of stuff to burn."[/b][/color]

Before the shinobi would do that special ninja vanishing trick though, Matsuri would blurt out: [color=fdc68a][b]"Oh and Takeshi couldn't come, he was busy dressing up as a miko! For...some reason. I didn't really ask."[/b][/color] ...How terrible of a blunder would it be if she came all this way, searched all this time, and found the person she was supposed to only to part ways without saying the code phrase?
