Akemi's ears twitched bellow her hood when she noticed that some of the new comers had come inside of the tavern, still she didn't reacted, merely continuing to eat her noodles before they could get cold.
What he found was a completely ordinary tavern. He was a little surprised. He expected his new surroundings to be more... hostile. He peeked around the room. It took him a moment to find the hooded figure he first took note of, sitting in a gloomy corner. How cliche! Tatsumi thought to himself. He approached the table, eyeing the figure, who he could now vaguely discern as female. "Excuse me, miss, do you mind if I sit here?" He didn't wait for an answer, taking a seat across from the girl. "I'm a little... lost. Can you tell me where we are?"
The tall white haired man dropped the chair in front of the table the figure was sitting at right next to Tastumi, then he slowly sat at the table, he looked past the person's hood and saw their face as they dug into their food." You must be hungry, who and what are you ?" He asked bluntly." Because if you were normal or weren't hiding you wouldn't be wearing that cloak and I didn't see you at that church." He then looked over to the pale guy to his right." You wake up at the church as well ? " Sinthe asked.
Nevertheless, her eyes -far more used to the gloom of this world than any human's- kept track of the two strangers as they walked around the place before sitting across from her, one of them even going as far as stick his face inside of her hood to get a good look at her.
"By the Absolute's grace, I swear that your lot gets more disrespectful with every new batch." Akemi swore before slurping down the remainder of the broth that was left inside the plain wooden bowl and setting it aside just to pick the steak with her slender hands and taking a bite of it, revealing her animal-like fangs in the process.
She devoured the juicy beef in matter of seconds, before picking up the bowl and trusting it to the newcomers
"Food first, questions later." Even the smell of the thick oily broth was enough to make one wonder how Akemi was able to eat that spicy stuff without going crazy, or if she had already went crazy a long time ago.
However, as Akemi looked down upon the newcomers again, she noticed that it was unlikely that they would have any money on them
"If you have no money you're going to work to pay for the answers that I'll give you." She washed down her meal with the vodka, drinking the full mug in one gulp, letting out a small moan and slamming the mug on the table
"Ahhh! That's what I live for!" The bolt of pleasure was such that for a moment Akemi even forgot about the two staring down at her.
But just for a moment, as the next thing that she did was address them in her usual dry voice
"You're on a place known as the World of Wasted Dreams, and you came here to hunt monsters or die doing it. Face reality and kill in order to live, or be a crybaby and hide on the shadows until either something makes a tasty meal out of you, or you go mad. The choice is yours""There's no need to know more about me than that my name's Akemi and that I've been a Hunter for so much time that even that old coot back at the temple can't remember when I arrived at this darkness covered bog of a world. Though... if you want to know more about me... it'll have a price." Akemi said with a suggestive voice, while licking her index finger before running it up Sinthe's throat and chin while her claw-like nail caressed him rather provocatively.
Leaving the two men to wonder about her behavior, Akemi walked to the door
"Come, don't be afraid. I don't bite... much.""Fufufu." Akemi giggled after the joke she haven't had the chance to use in such a long time.
"Depending on how they react this might be pretty fun..." She thought before hearing the blast and feeling the ground shake bellow her feet
"Leo again?" Akemi said to herself as her palm met her face in an exasperated gesture.
"I wonder how he's able to survive those things every time?""Not like it's my problem, though..." She thought, ignoring the mad alchemist's plight.
