[Moroha blinks! Whoaa!

Seth follows after him]

You must really trust that woman to leave Moroha alone with her..

[sunsetking]

I’ve known her since she was a young woman.

[Leona keeps his gaze ahead.]

We go way back.

[bloodthirstydawn]

Good to see her again, then?

[Seth smiles to him.]

Anywhere you want to start or are we holding off until tonight.

[sunsetking]

Go start making nice with the village women. We’ll meet again at the inn in two hours.

[bloodthirstydawn]

Alright...

[His ears fall just a bit but he nods]

You be safe too Leona.

[He nudges him lightly before heading over to the first group he sees. He smiles, seeming polite and warm]

[sunsetking]

[Leona watches Seth for a bit, ear twitching. Seth is...probably a little too nice for this kind of job.

Holding back a sigh, he walks off to the side before he glances over at a flower. One...that has no reason to be blooming here.]

Kao.

[bloodthirstydawn]

[It's just a flower Leona~ just observing what is going on and such. Kao is a big fish, why would he lurk around--- well the lion is certainly of interest~

But the flower is unmoving~]

[sunsetking]

[...This man.

He sighs, walking over to the flower and reaches down to tap it with a single finger--

Just to turn it into sand.]

[bloodthirstydawn]

[While it does turn to sand, behind Leona another one grows almost instantly. You really think its that easy, Leona? You got his attention after all. More flowers start to slowly bloom.]

[sunsetking]

[Leona almost wants to groan at that.]

At least say a greeting instead of just watching me. That's just creepy.

[bloodthirstydawn]

You should know better than to poke at Lord Kao.

[A voice drift by him before a pink haired male fades into existence. A second later, the second pinked haired twin appears by his brother and looks back at Leona. He remains quiet but turns to face Leona properly. Riku stands by his brother and clicks his tongue at the lion]

Kao keeps sending word to you for a visit. Why do you ignore him?

[sunsetking]

I've got my own things to handle here.

[He raises a brow.]

Clearly he's not hurting for my presence too much if he's letting you two wander free from your cages.

[He's not exactly eager to see the terror twins either.]

[bloodthirstydawn]

[Riku blinks and frowns at the lion. He takes a step towards him before Kai puts his hand up to stop him. He glances to his brother and then back to the lion]

Even so, Kao does want your company. He's getting restless.

Maybe we should just go grab the lion princess. Daddy Leona is sure to come to the underworld then.

[Riku smirks, his tail swaying mischievously]

Since Leona is so busy here and all.

[sunsetking]

[Riku might finally find himself lifted off from the ground, Leona's claws digging into his neck.

The lion stares at him with dead eyes, green slowly bleeding into red.]

Touch my daughter and I will ensure you know what true pain is like, Riku.

[His voice is deep and steady, not a hint of a growl can be heard.]

You may be Kao's precious messengers, but that's irrelevant to me.

[He makes sure to have cracks form along Riku's skin, deep enough for it to start chipping off into sand.]

I've told Kao before as well. Touch anyone in my pride and the next time he'll see me, either he or I will live.

[And not even Kao wants to fight the lion at his fullest potential.]

[bloodthirstydawn]

[Riku chokes. He's frozen still before a bit of panic sets in and he struggles, grabbing and trying to pull Leona's arm away. He hisses between clench teeth.

Right. Don't push the lion's button to much. Leona doesn't play nice. He didn't even touch Iris yet!

[Kai blinks up at Riku. He knows better than to help but the urge is there clearly as he steps towards Leona. He's not as rash as his twin though.]

We would not bring your pride harm. It was just a suggestion to bring one to the underworld so you would follow.

[sunsetking]

[Leona ignores Riku's attempts as he glances over at Kai.

There's clear debate before he clicks his tongue.]

You can let Kao know once I've finished my job here, I'll go see him. Until then, I don't want to see either of you or his flowers around me. Got it?

[He unceremoniously drops Riku.]

Do not go touching what's mine.

[bloodthirstydawn]

[Riku yelps when hes dropped and hits the ground. He hisses and glares up at Leona as he rubs his neck.

Kai blinks and looks thoughtful as if hes considering his words]

How long will your job here take? Also we will not touch what is marked as yours.

[sunsetking]

A few days give or take. If Kao wants me to see him sooner, he's always free to lend a "hand" in getting rid of the people I'm after.

[He stares down at Riku, eyes practically glowing.]

[bloodthirstydawn]

We could just nuke the damn town and be done with it...

[Riku is tempted too. Though be blinks at the look and quickly moves a small distance away...maybe a little behind Kai. He frowns at Leona.]

I doubt he would be interested but we'll pass on the message. Anything else?

[sunsetking]

That's all.

[Enjoy those unblinking eyes on you, Riku.]

Now, get out of my sight.

[bloodthirstydawn]

[Riku hisses from behind his brother. Kai lingers a moment. He watches Leona and his eyes do shift to where Seth is and then towards the inn. But he gives a small bow and vanishes.

Riku blinks! He's quick to vanish after Kai]

[sunsetking]

Tch.

[He hadn’t missed that. While Riku is more straightforward and headstrong, Kai is the one who can scheme if he so desires.

How annoying.

Leona breathes out softly, letting a barrier form around Seth and Moroha.]

[bloodthirstydawn]

[They love you too.

They're never ones to give up so quickly...

Mythril keeps out of sight, just trailing after Leona. Iris might of asked him to tag along to make sure everything goes well...though hes not sure what he could even do about it. Seeing Leona choke out a hell-demon....yeah he has no desire to get mixed up in anything. The fairy holds back a grumble and keeps hidden in the potted plant.]

[sunsetking]

[They aren’t. If they do something, Leona is going to turn them into sand.

But Mythril is suddenly getting plucked up by an annoyed lion.]

The hell are you doing lurking around for, pipsqueak?

[bloodthirstydawn]

[The fairy squeaks as he's snatched and the world does a quick whirl. He's just a little guy!]

U-u-uh... Ir-Iris told me to make sure you and the other two are ok and to help out and tag along.

[He puts his hands together]

Don't turn me to sand! I'm just doing what she asked!
