"Just know that I am a murderer. In my psychical life, I was a demon warrior. But I was sealed away in this accursed..... Whoops. Almost spilled the beans there. Can't have you sending me away just yet." He said with yet that evil sneer again. And a cocky sarcasm, that seemed to get more and more taunting. "Why do you waste time with questioning me? I thirst for blood." The sword pulsated again as the last words were said.

"No worries~ Talking-" She tried to do another scissor cut, "Won't distract me from my goal or from fighting~ I haven't had blood for such a long time~ Besides, this is entertaining~" She was having a good time, dodging most of the blows, and she barely had any sweat. Her boots had thick rubber soles and her feet were scaled on the bottom, so the earlier act with the jump hadn't affected her at all.

((I really dont know, but something about yalls whole conversation made me laugh. Probably Ayus LOTR speak xD))

Izumi was so surprised by how Ayu was acting that the fight began before she had time to react. "St-Stop it Ayu!" Izumi exclaimed, pulling out her chakram and jumping in, shoving it between the her friend and this strange new comer. so as to catch both of their blades. Both hands on her own weapon, Izumi began spinning it in her hand in a manner similar to how people spin batons in the hopes of disarming the both of them. "There is no reason for you two to be fighting like this!"

Some of the others.

Zeke took note of her words as he simply nodded and muttered, "Yes, indeed..." Immediately he had thought of Izumi. He sank into silence as half-way closed his eyes and waited as patiently as he could for Estelle to finish - his feet, as he was unaware, was gently tapping the wooden planks of the inn's floor. In his mind he searched for that sickness within the air again, and he sat straight up, startled, when he realized that it was... much worse than before. Originally it had been a thin spot in his consiousness, now, it was practically everywhere. While whatever it had been before had been a single, dense spot - this... He gripped the table tightly with his left hand as he looked cautiously about, his right hand reaching for his weapon, and hissed, "Estelle, we might have to-"

That was when the brawl broke out.

The blood that Orpheus had implanted in the freshly prepared meals were the first to take hold. There were not many other patrons within the resturant, due to the late hour, but a strange aura surrounded them [[I'm not really sure how they're supposed to be 'turned', so I'm just winging it.]] as they ingested their food and traded banters. Their words turned harsher as the second trickled by, and all the souls around them seemed posessed as the volume of their words leapt to a whole new level. Jealousy, anger, pride... they all melted away into the bloodlust that gleamed within every pair of eyes around them. Plates shattered as they fell, knocked aside by careless fists. Drinks and morsels of food splattered all over the floor, the sound of their fall mixed in with the solid 'thunks' of flesh meeting flesh.

Zeke stood quickly, alert, as he caught the confused faces of the employees of Mia's resturant. Clearly this wasn't something that happened regularly.

[[rofl. Sorry. I wanted to show how fake hurt I was and old english was perfect so..... XD]]

"Well, child, have you gotten the beast under control yet? Oh, and why do you suspect treachery from me?" Keeping her swords out, but dropping into a relaxed stance, Ayu stared at the stranger.
"You may have heated up my blood too much, I'm afraid. I might actually need to take a bite out of someone."

"Id stay out of it Izumi." Ryu said as he approached, finally catching up with the two. Not that he cared about the blue girls safety, he just hoped that boy would kill Ayu for him and be done with it. "We dont have all night so you two mind hurrying up in killing each other?"

"Ryu, I doubt I'd die from this pest."

"Dont kill my hopes Ayu." Ryu said with a sigh, crossing his arms across his chest and seeming to lean slightly due to the weight of the bag on the one side. "You know how hard it is for me to raise them afterall." there was a hint of sarcasm in his voice as he pulled Izumi back before gesturing to the two fighting. "Have at it."

Izumi blinked when she was pulled back effortlessly by Ryu, her circle weapon still held out in front of her as if she hadnt moved at all. "Dont encourage them Ryu-san." Izumi growled out at him pulling out of his grip and glaring at all three of them. She did have an excellent glare when she was angry. "Put your swords away, this is just ridiculous."

[[Ohgollygumdrops. I drew Ayu... Sweet. She looks buff. XD
Ayu~~]]

"But, it is so fun to crush dreams~" Ayu went back to her lazy ready stance after a few stretches. "Well then, En Guarde!"

"Dreams?" Ryu asked allowing Izumi to pull away. These people were so predictable it really wasnt funny anymore. Well actually Ayu's bloodlust was a little strange but in the end did seem to fit into her new profile. "Your going to give Izumi a heart attack if you keep this up." Ryu pointed out, pulling his hood down so his periphial vision wasnt blocked. "Ill consider it a bonus if that happens along with your own death."

"Come on Ryu. Izumi-chan and I are made up of tough stuff~ Did you know that females are able to endure more pain than males?"

Ryu wouldve laughed if it was in him to. It wasnt." Oh really?" He asked sarcastically, rolling his eyes at the girl. "And do you have proof of such a ridiculous statement?" He asked holding out his hand in a gesture asking to see the proof. "As far as Im concerned I can kick both your asses without trying and youd be in more pain then in your whole life." He said eyebrows raised at the lack of proof. "Hell even girly man over there can kick your ass." He added referring to the one winged drakonian

"A premature birth of a male is more likely to go wrong than the birth of a premature girl. The fact that I haven't been killed yet means that the 'girly-man' can't kick my ass. And I would love to do this, but weren't we doing something? As in, leaving?"

"And why is that?" Ryu asked scoffing at her answer. "What statistics is there to prove such a statement?" Being a very cynical person, Ryu probably wouldnt believe her even if she did come up with numbers, only if she could conjure up a midwife and even those chances of him believing was slim. "Your call, they are your stupid scales were having to lug around." Ryu said attempting to hit the bag with his knee as if to vent at it.

She was totally ignoring the stranger now. "And I thought this was Fayne's esper we were going to chase? Or was I wrong? And you are such a cocky guy!!" Grabbing her bags and cloak and sheathing her swords, she walked over to Ryu. Her annoyance had erased her blood lust.

Ryu smirked, seeming as if he had planned this to happen all along as Ayu marched over to him. "No of course not." He said letting her catch up to him before flicking the girl on the forehead. "But I was told we were looking for merchants first, or was I wrong?" One down one more to go, Ryu glanced at Izumi as if to send a message telling her to take care of the other guy while he finished with Ayu.

"Tch, yeah yeah old man. I know, I know. Merchants to get rid of these dead weights and get money."

"I dont have to carry these around" Ryu pointed out still smirking at her, placing a hand over the handle of his bag where it was looped over his belt loop. "I dont care if people attack the village because of them. In fact itd be better." He added glancing back at the peaceful village with angry eyes. "Maybe then they can learn some pain and stop pretending like everythings perfect." Ryu said before he looked back at Ayu. "Better then being naive."

"Ignorance is bliss, Ryu. Just because we are blood thirsty monsters doesn't mean that they have to grow up to be ones. Anyways, if they did, someday, they'll murder you. Yay." She span around in dead panned joy, swiping away Ryu's bag, when she got close enough. "And if you don't want to carry your stuff, I'll carry it for you~" With a childish smirk, Ayu skipped away.

"Its not ignorance when they know its there but just choose to close their eyes to it." Ryu snapped back at Ayu, watching her carefully as she suddenly felt the urge to twirl around. "What the hells gotten into you since you got eaten by that rock?" He asked unsure if he was being serious or not when suddenly Ayu grabbed his bag. "Oi! Stop right there!" Ryu called after her angrily, chasing after her and grabbing at her wrist. "I wouldnt touch my things again if I were you.: The words didnt come out loud but they still held every drop of anger in him. That bag held all the things he had ever owned, including his picture of his fiance and the stone.

"Too late~" Tossing the bag to her other hand, she broke away, all the while just smirking at Ryu. "I told you guys I was going to take a bite out of somebody, but this is much more satisfying~"

Ryu's frown deepened as he found he had to chase after Ayu some more. At this rate theyd be back in the town in no time. He was getting used to the idea of never seeing the stupid place again. "Ayu, Give it here now!" He hissed at her, starting to gain easily with his longer legs. "I promist to not kill you if you do!"

Izumi frowned, glancing between the slowly distancing themselves Ayu and Ryu and the two left to her over here. "Fayne-san, can you stop them?" She asked politely before looking back at the person who had now lost his victim. "Sorry um sir, but maybe now you can calm down?" She asked hopefully, still anxious to follow the two and see if she could assist Ayu in being mean to Ryu. But she didnt feel she could till she stopped this man and his sword him her mind seemed to have been what had caused this change in him. If she could get the sword away from him maybe he would go back to normal. Trying to move unnoticed, she slowly inched closer, her eyes locked on his, and her hand tight around her chakram.

"Well, When you put it that way..." Ayu brought out her wings and dropped her back pack onto Ryu. "Here is an 'it'~ Have fun!" And started flying back to the starting point. Her hood fell back as she did a few lazy loops and dives, making sure Ryu could still see her. But she could also see the others. What the heck is Izumi trying to do?
