There wasn't much else she felt the need to say, now shifting awkwardly where she stood. But, Joni did save her life, maybe, so. . .
❛ You, uhh. . . Night patrol. . ? ❜
Perhaps she could offer to buy her hot tea or an energy drink.
Rumi blinks. Someone. . . Didn't? Know who she was?
Holy 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐭. Surely they weren't lying, right .ᐣ.ᐣ.ᐣ
She hums.
❛ Well, I'm nevertheless thankful for it. It. . . Kind of startled me, when I couldn't do anything to them. ❜
Another nervous chuckle.

Rumi laughed, quietly and suddenly. Nervously.
❛ Vampires and demons. . . Well, it is nice to meet a fellow hunter, no matter. ❜
A hand is extended in greeting.
❛ Rumi. But, you. . . Might know that, already. ❜
Her face ── .✦
It's alright . It's what I do .
( the girl nodded at the other's statement . )
Yes . those were vampires .
I'm a vampire hunter — occasionally demons too .
I must say, even I don't see packs that big often .
.. ah , right .
my names Joni , Joni the Red more specifically .
For a moment, Rumi continued to hold her gaze steady, eyes unwavering in their shifty study of the punkish figure. The words were welcome, and after a little less than a minute, arms were lowered and the star sighed.
She herself was clad in nothing more than sweats, ── .✦

seconds later , all the remaining creatures had either fled or simply been slain .
opposite to Rumi now stood a young looking girl , the scarlet sword —

She perked a little when she registered the rest of the words, though. Brows furrowing in a mix of confusion and disbelief.
❛ . . . You said 'vamps'. . .ᐣ ❜

✦. ── with years of creeps and superfans. They'd help to get at you in return. A breed of person she held a severe distaste for.
Hells forbid the incoming fighter would be in any way like this. She grimaces, peering through the gaps between her arms and intently watching.
The way her attackers had all seemed to suddenly turn and dash off left her more than confused, the only remaining creatures were the two that had been below her.
They seemed to freeze, more than anything else, before scrambling to their feet and scurrying off.

* — upon getting closer ,
Joni saw that whoever the monsters were cornering was miraculously still up and fighting .
thank goodness , this meant she could come in pretty much unseen while they were still focused on the other .

It was a paranoia that came ── .✦
"Welcome to Okhema. I am Castorice. Apologies, it is my habit to keep my distance from others... I can get closer if you wish, however."
