As the Jester began to start winding up his move, Reuel already had Nyx out, spinning it and doing tricks with it as he watched. The curved balisong twirling in his fingers, sheathing, unsheathing, spinning and small throws before being caught again. Well, that magic seemed familiar, Reuel thought to himself, what's the story behind that? Whatever it was, if it was the same magic he couldn't let it reach him cleanly, and so as the balloon animals flew at him he made his move.

Transitioning cleanly into rollover putting the blade out, he did a couple quick and dirty swings, sending out inky dark blades that sliced right through them. The negating properties of his magic cutting through it like butter, and dampening their effects at the same time. This ploy was common, throw a few projectiles and then appear in melee range and so he did a twirl, before moving to the side, anticipating the Jester's appearance, executing a Shadow Step to hide his movement as he slipped away.

Upon affirming Jester's position, he would deliver a swift couple slashes, inky blades would follow them too, extending his reach, and their dangerous nature making any magical defense less effective or ineffectual. If the Jester wanted to get close to him to fight, it might be his last mistake.

As the exchange finished, Reuel getting pretty comfortable right now, his smile turned into a frown as he heard a familiar voice. It was Jericho with an announcement.

[color=8882be][i]"FENIX TEAR!!! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!? I SMELL TOO MANY ENEMIES OUT THERE AND WE HAVE A GIANT TOWER TO DEAL WITH. I JUST SLAYED AN ANGEL IN TWO ATTACKS! ARE YOU GOING TO LET ME TAKE ALL OF THE TRASH OUT AND GAIN ALL OF THE GLORY MYSELF? WE'RE A FAMILY THAT SHARES THE BURDEN OF CHORES! YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES TO FINISH CLEANING AND JOIN UP WITH IFRIT, KAIGA, AND I TO ADD ANOTHER DEMON TO OUR BELT!"[/i][/color]

He turned back to the Jester, [color=a187be]"and here I thought I'd get to have some fun... Oh well. Seems I'll have to finish this right now"[/color]. It was a bold proclamation, and perhaps one Jester most likely will not take kindly to. However, Reuel was a man of his word, yet he did not want to unleash such power so soon, especially since he felt prying eyes from somewhere, but with his focus on Jester he knew not where. He'll have to be careful how he chooses to close this out, and it all depended on the Jester's next move.
