I had to struggle not to use Yasuo for Daiki's appearance :D

Daiki laughed as Grizel sputtered and flailed. He liked this faunus girl, she wasn't at all like the other faunus he had encountered back home. He knew deep down they weren't all terrorists or thieves, but it was hard not to be on guard against them when he had grown up equating them to danger.

He supposed it wasn't fair for her to have to keep a distance then just to put him at ease. She was the one making an effort so far, after all. "You don't have to keep your distance like I'm about to stab you if I get too close, you know." He offered with a smile.

The Fourth Blight {Irell Starling x Reaper}

Thea was furious. She felt betrayed, angry and rejected. She had known all along that she would never truly be Dalish, that the Keeper teaching her magic at all was a privilege and even then she would never be First or Keeper. She was not even allowed to wear the Vallisin. Yet to think she would be handed to the templars and Chantry so easily, that they would not resist the shemlen...

"Keeper, please. I am no elf but I have grown up among the clan, played with every one of the hunters and warriors as children, listened to the tales around the fire. I have known no other family but the clan. Do not throw me away to he caged and imprisoned!" She pleaded with Keeper Shartos. She was met with sad, regretful eyes.

"I cannot, Thea. The shemlen see you as one of their own, that their laws apply to you. They made that much clear. Yes, you have grown up with the clan, helped me deliver some of the infants even, but that is why I must ask this of you. Would you see them die for your sake? You know the templars will march here in force and take you at sword point if need be, if they do not outright kill you. You cannot ask me to risk the clan - your brothers and sisters, for you." He replied evenly. She could tell it pained him to do so - he had been her father figure and she was like a daughter to him. She had learnt much from him, and owed the clan a great debt. She had just never anticipated what form her payment would take.

She fell to the floor, weak and defeated. She cried. Not to manipulate the Keeper into pity, but because she was at the end of her will. He knelt beside her and cradled her to let her cry against his shoulder. "Oh, my sweet child, I wish I had the strength to resist the templars and the chantry they serve. I would break camp and move us if I thought we could evade them. I do not make this choice easily."

"I know, Keeper." Thea sobbed. The clan was already preparing for her farewell. The templars who had first found her were camped right outside the edge of their camp. They had graciously let Thea say her goodbyes and spend a final few days with her clan before her handler would come and bring her to the Circle. It felt very much like the mercy of a last meal to a prisoner sentenced to death.

After a few moments to compose herself, Thea got back up and prepared to leave. She shared an aravel with Shartos' First, but now the girl would have it to herself. She wondered if the clan would miss her, or if she would become a long forgotten memory. She had heard tales of how humans treated their mages - and cursed her fate. She was abandoned by her birth parents, now these shemlen wanted her to obey their laws and spend the rest of her life rotting away in some prison, if they didn't decide to brand her and make her a shell of a person.

Tempest Comics-Insurrection

Just on the outskirts of Insurrection, stood the impressive villa that belong to Zilla. Here she managed her family's empire in Insurrection, overseeing the operations of their factories and outlets. Here she ruled her people with a gentle hand, her enemies with an iron fist. She was sitting on her throne, in a black dress and her legs crossed to reveal her slender legs through the thigh high slit in the dress, the image of power and beauty and danger, as another sycophant came before her and requested a partnership or business deal

"You have the workforce, the resources and the manpower to sustain all of your family's local production, Miss Blackburn. With our connections and influence, we could help you spread your operations and grow your wealth to every street corner of the city. Not to mention providing jobs and alleviating the unemployment issue in our problematic neighbourhoods." The man sure knew how to tempt a girl, Zilla thought, though apparently he had mistaken her youth for foolishness or naiveté because only an idiot would not see his entire speech was about bribing officials and creating fronts for his criminal activity.

Alleviate unemployment indeed - the problematic neighbourhoods were all under this man's jurisdiction. Nothing happened within those areas without her guest knowing about it. Zilla knew he was setting her up as a scapegoat in hopes of filling the power vacuum she left behind if she ever fell. Jon Falcone was a crooked businessman and a gangster dressed in a rich man's clothes... trying to trick a queen. The penalty was death. Though far be it for her to murder her guest under her own roof. Her servants should not have to suffer cleaning that filth from her carpets.

"That is a most tempting offer you make, Mr Falcone... I shall consider it and draw up a proposal for you as soon as possible if I do accept. I look forward to our next meeting." Her smile was charming and sweet, mixed with an all so subtle hint of interest in the man as he leered and made no attempt to his gaze at her legs or the low, tight cut of her dress.

He bowed and flashed the smile of a man knowing he would get what he wanted. "I look forward to hearing from you soon." She escorted him to the main door before letting her butler see her guest the rest of the way out to the gate.

Oh, you'll be hearing from me sooner than you think. Zilla thought silently as she headed for her dining room and sat at the table before a luxurious spread of food. "Alfred, have the men assembled and ready by 8PM. A man has insulted my intelligence and honour and the slight demands an answer. Tonight my army marches on his kingdom. He will know the folly of a city-state challenging an empire." She took a bite of her meal and curled her lips into a smile. "Prepare my armour and my ride as well. Let it not be said that Zilla Blackburn is afraid of getting her hands dirty."

"Tell me about it..." Grizel sighed. She could still feel the dirt lingering on her face. She really hoped it wasn't all that noticeable. Daiki then proceeded to ramble on about showering, and at the end of it all, Grizel couldn't help but burst into a fit of giggles.Having not had much interaction with boys outside of brawls on the street, she had never really given it much thought, but... some subjects were just awkward to talk about with the opposite gender. If the faunus weren't too busy with her laughing, she might have flushed slightly at his suggestion of washing up.Stuttering an aplogy once her laughter subsided, Grizel cleared her throat and, smiling as brightly as ever, simply said, "Yeah, after food, I'll make myself more presentable!"She continued on her grand journey for food, turning her head to give Daiki a teasing smile and say, "Just make sure you keep your thoughts of me in the shower to yourself next time, 'kay?"At least Grizel had grown to like Daiki enough to play around with him in such a manner. For someone weary of her race, he really was a great guy. This was gonna be great news to tell her friend back home.

Daiki would have spit out his drink if he had been drinking. He had not expected the faunus girl to tease him like that. Well, he reasoned with himself, she did fire the first shot. The rules of engagement were clear. "Oh, I don't think I can, good things are meant to be shared, after all... Besides, I'm going to shower later, and I'll get lonely, and I don't think I'll be able to keep quiet about these thoughts..." He sighed, with a mocking shrug and an expression of defeat. "I am a guy after all. If you notice guys looking at you weird later, I apologise... or not." He laughed at the end of it all.

If someone had told Daiki his first friend at Beacon would be a faunus, he would have laughed at them derisively. His father had been right - it wasn't fair to paint a group of people with the same brush just because a few of them spoiled the bunch. He was certain that would be news to his family once he sent a letter home. Though knowing his parents and how they were like, they'd probably ask him to bring Grizel home for a meal so they could meet this special faunus girl that broke his defenses... Daiki sighed as he pictured the scene. He had been wary of faunus at home because they mostly came to them for food and coin and took it by force. It wasn't as if he went out looking for faunus to fight and beat up.

A thought came to him. "I just remembered, I never introduced my self, did I? The name's Daiki." He offered his name, remembering they had yet to learn each other's names. Funny how he was having a conversation with someone whose name he didn't even know yet. It was a brave new world, coming to Beacon.
