Correct. Your break should be ending soon, so its important for you to hurry along.
No one else is down these halls for some time, there should be no further delays.
. . . If I told you, it would give away too much, don't you think.
I guess .. that’s fine .
( a very deep sigh , there was no fear in her posture anymore .. there was even a smile tugging at her lips , albeit faint . )
So , you’ll be on your way then ? And I .. suppose I’ll see you again later today . ( * 💧 )
May that fear give wear down any excess energy she's accumulated since arriving.
Perhaps one day she will learn I've been prohibited from striking any Beast until this contract ends.
The size of a vessel oftentimes does not align with its danger, this stature of yours is not enough to keep my blade from the heart of a Beast.
(Beasts are Beasts, this little shit is still getting punted)
As I stated, I have memorized your work schedule. You are correct, impeding you during your missions to prove me wrong would go against my word. I will ensure such does not come to pass, so you may proceed in peace to your goals.
I shall have you in my grasp only off the clock.
Oh , that’s great then , I — -
You 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 ? Why did y .. wh ..
DON’T DO THAT ???? I can’t go about my day being paranoid about you showing up out of nowhere ..!
It would go against my word to impede anybody's work within Chaldea, do not worry.
I have already memorized your current schedule, and know the times to keep my presence to a minimum.
( * 💭 ; so just a small handful of people will be tormented .. including me .. fantastic . )
. . So long as you don’t startle me while I’m working . I have a lot to do today .
I have no reason to do things such as this to any who are not hosting a potential end to humanity within them. But your warning is heard.
(In short, he just intends to troll Beasts for as long as he can since he's promised a non violence truce with Chaldea)
( despite how startled she was by his previous motion , her body seemed to relax once his hand touched her head — it was brief , almost instant , but the tension she felt before seemed to vanish . )
Just .. be careful doing that to others , Assassin . Some people may attack .
Seems its much more effective now, hm? Good to know.
(He does nothing to truly threaten her, a hand on her head for the briefest of moments. Is it affection or sizing up the inevitable prize he's chasing? He won't answer, its fun to make her guess these things)
GAH – - !
( she let out a yell the moment he closed the distance , taking an instinctive step back before trying to recompose herself .. but when she looks into his eyes , she freezes . )
. . ( * 🌀)
Perhaps you're right.
(He can hear it, the heavy thump of her heart, the tightening of her muscles, clear indicators of her growing stress. In a flash he's closed the distance between them, dead eyes staring daggers into her own)
Is this better?
Comfort? Hm.
Its often said that death is a comfort to those in pain, perhaps this is a similar vein. No matter, its important to take hold of what small comforts you can in life. You will surely be hunted soon, after all.
I do not weigh the sins of your wrongs in life, do not believe I'm calling you pure of heart. You have simply done nothing that rings upon my own radar. You will answer for your acts in this life one day, be they at the gates of your nirvana or the depths of hell.-
There are no sins to even a magi like me? How surprising —
( the slightest sigh of shock and relief escaped her. almost uttering the words 'not yet' instead of those she chose. )
Thank you...
( the slightest of red dust her cheeks. )
You're words are oddly comforting you know?
