Kiyomi - Dire Mountain - Floor 1
When he pointed to the hill, Kiyomi had started walking up it. He asked her if she was ready to take on some hordes of monsters, and the answer to that was a yes, though she said nothing for a long moment. Her left hand move across her body to grip the hilt of her rapier and she answered his question with a question.
"Does it really matter if i can handle myself or not? If i cant then you will simply be left with a choice: save me like you did before so gallantly, or simply let me die. I assure you, i will be grateful with either outcome you choose." She spoke quietly, her mind started focusing on one more important thing. Killing monsters. Though it was rather easy on floor one, Kiyomi was still just at level fifteen, no where near how strong she was the first month in during the beta test. She hadent been as dedicated, which was surprising since she had nothing better to do in this forsaken world.
As she reached the top of the hill, sounds of fighting was heard off in the distance, but she wanted to focus on getting some items while she leveled up, and she was particularly interested in those bat wings. Fleeing from a wild battle could be extremely helpful if she learned how to use the item efficiently, so she needed to stock up. She also needed meat. Kiyomi had grown tierd of eating out and was interested in working on her cooking skill anyway. Being with this guy was a plus, he seemed to know his way around this area, were as she had only explored this area briefly in previous times. She didnt know if there was anything worth farming out here, and she was certain she didnt want to die trying to get items she would never use.
Stopping she swiftly drew her Saigo Rapier and turned around, raising it in preparation to fight, hoping Whimsical wouldn't start and think she was trying to attack him. Instead she glared past his shoulder and felt her anger rising again.
"What, you thought i wouldn't notice you following me? Come out and show yourself or go home now. If you refuse and i find you, i will end you." She bluffed, trying to sound menacing as she noticed there was someone out there who had followed her.
