Woah 1 day of no posts and this is declared dead? :O
"I guess you don't then..." Azzurra muttered to herself right after Duel disappeared.

What a nutjob. She should have probably been at least a little concerned about what kind of chaos the guy was off to cause next... no, who was she kidding? She didn't actually care, though, if he did get in her way again, he'd be toast. She resumed walking along the path that led back to the university, eventually emerging from the forest. She looked up at the sky and saw the sunrise, realizing that it was morning. Had she been in the forest the entire night?

Well, there goes another sleepless night. Azzurra didn't regret it however. It had been an eventful one, and it was rather refreshing to encounter supernatural activity once in awhile, as opposed to her current routine life on campus, where practically nobody knew of her abilities. Plus, she wouldn't have slept anyway. She then remembered having a morning lecture that day, and casually made her way back to her quarters to get ready for it. It's off to class I go, then...
Just as I thought, they are the same person...

Azzurra simply nodded. "So that's how it's going to be. Well then, it seems that you need to be watched over until 'Mr. Sane' returns, don't you?"

She wasn't letting her guard down. Duel had obviously proven to be dangerous, and worse things might happen if he kept this up. The conversation they were having appeared to have toned him down, though, one could never be too sure that he wasn't secretly scheming.
Azzurra cocked her head at the creature. Is this guy for real? No, one does not simply try to start a casual conversation after pulling what he did. That move of setting the trees on fire could have caused some extreme damage had she not had the means to stop it. No doubt, the guy's intention was to cause destruction, and perhaps even injury and death.

"Don't start that with me," she replied coolly. "You're totally off your rocker, aren't you? It's pretty obvious, from what you just tried to do. Perhaps there might be someone more... sane, in there that I could speak to?"

Her last line was, of course, referring to the other, possibly existent, personality of this 'Duel' creature. If this malicious side of his was still insistent on staying outside, however, she would have to find some way to incapacitate him. She had already seen that impaling or cutting did no damage to Duel. Maybe she could lure him into a trap. She stood where she was, prepared for him to make his next move should he choose to do so, at the same time hoping at the back of her mind that Jenny had gotten to safety.
"Some people just don't have lives," Azzurra commented in response to Jenny.

She then stopped once again at the sound of movement around them. Her eyes darted around, trying to track the whereabouts of this unseen individual, before the movements seemed to have just ceased. That was when a loud voice came from above, followed by the trees in front of them catching on fire. Azzurra glanced up at the source of the voice to see a green creature, similar to the one she saw earlier yet not exactly the same one. The first one didn't seem aggressive at all. This must have been the one responsible for that earlier rock attack too. Was this another supernatural with a split-personality?

She instinctively shielded Jenny with one arm, swinging her other arm to send a flurry of ice in an arc towards the burning trees and putting the fire out. Once that was done, she leaned in closer to the teenage girl and spoke in her usual flat tone, but this time with a hint of urgency.

"Continue on straight, you'll soon be out of the forest and you'll see the university. To the left there's a path that leads to the city. Go on, get out of here."

Azzurra then turned her attention back to the malicious creature, forming large spikes of ice out of thin air. "You people..." the multiple spikes launched themselves right at the creature. "Need to get a better hobby!"

"Sorry, but you lost my respect with that first move," Azzurra continued in a disinterested, condescending tone. "A rock? Really? I don't actually want to fight you, though, if you desire to get trashed that badly, I'll gladly indulge you."

(@bloonewb Jenny can stay if she wants, that was just a suggestion by Azzurra :))
@Dealdric Azzurra and Jenny are actually walking away from the fight though :D
Sure
Azzurra was slightly startled when Jenny fell to the ground after the quake. "Oh, you're not hurt, are you?"

She was then more so when a rock, which seemed to have come out of nowhere, flew right past her and over Jenny's head. The younger girl's quick reflexes were a pleasant surprise for Azzurra, though, the gesture of that rock being thrown right at them made her more annoyed than she already was. A simple rock wasn't going to do much damage, so it must just have been someone trying to mess with them. Seriously, don't these people have anything better to do?

"I am not in the mood for this," she grumbled out loud, scanning the area around them for any sign of the little rock's source. Seeing nothing out of the ordinary, she then turned back to her companion, putting a hand on her back as a means of a gentle usher.

"Come on, let's just pick up the pace, shall we?" She told Jenny, while doing as she herself said.
Azzurra stared down at 'Jenny's' hand for a couple of seconds, before shaking it. "Azzurra, pleasure."

She raised an eyebrow when Jenny began rattling about chrysanthemums and her reason for being out in forest, but let her finish before speaking up again. The girl seemed to be enthusiastic about plants. Maybe a little too enthusiastic, considering the fact that her interest had lured her out to such a place at such a time.

"Right, so you decided that the middle of the night would be the best time to go hunting for flowers? Well, I hope you're not in trouble with your parents."

Azzurra then stopped in her tracks when the ground started to shake, a deep sound resonating from it. Honestly, was it those guys again?
Was just some peace and quiet too much to ask?


"Oh, you have got to be kidding me..." she muttered under her breath.

She continued along the path to the university, however, sticking to her primary aim of getting Jenny back to the city. She'd show her the way back there from the campus, and perhaps return in an attempt to put things under control, should the disturbance still continue after that.
This black-haired boy... so he was the one who started the whole mess. Azzurra realized that after he released his bolts of lightning in full view of everyone present. However, the words of the other stranger caught her attention. What exactly did he mean by 'the mortal he possessed'? Was there another side to this lighting-manipulating perpetrator? Somehow, the armored individual had come to know of such information. This made Azzurra think of Rossa, and how this teen might be in the same situation, though, she wondered what could have possibly triggered his own switch in personality.

She then turned back to the girl in the green sweater, who seemed anxious to leave. With someone already there to keep this evil personality busy, Azzurra figured that it was up to her to get her to safety. She nodded sharply in response to the younger girl's request before turning around and striding off, motioning for her to follow.

"Fine then, this way."

The sounds of struggle grew fainter as she got further away from the fight. At least she'd finally get some peace that night without being plagued by the sound of whole trees collapsing. As for that boy with the second personality, perhaps she'll cross paths with him again.
