< will be harmed because of it, y'know? In exchange, we'll answer all your questions. Sound fair to you?" she asked in an amiable voice, pretending she didn't perceive the note of growing impatience in the man's tone.

< there was nothing she feared. "If you want us to let you hunt these demons, you'll have to tell us more about this moon gate you mean to open.

What sort of gate is it, and how much energy do you still need to open it?

...It's nothing personal. We just wanna make sure no innocents >

< closer, slow, and deliberate. Then another, moving cautiously as though she were approaching a wild beast, her right hand clutching Kalina Ann's harness tightly for personal comfort.

She trusted that Dante would have her back if worse came to worst. So long as the half-devil was by her side, >

< thumb in Rerir's direction. Lady sighed and raised her hand to silence the devil hunter before addressing the other.

"So you wanna go back home. Alright, that's fair. We have no problem with you killing these demons if that'll help you find your way back, but—" Pausing, Lady took a step >

< chance for them to avoid unnecessary violence, destruction, and potential collateral damage, she had to take the lead and put a muzzle on her partner before he ran his mouth and ruined everything.

"𝘋𝘪𝘥- 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘩𝘦 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘮𝘦 𝘣𝘰𝘺?" Dante asked incredulously, half-turning to Lady and jabbing his >
November 8, 2025 at 10:24 PM
< Lady didn't need to look at Dante's face to know he was thinking the same.

That said, the man hadn't attacked them on sight, which implied he could be reasoned with. To what extent, the huntress couldn't tell yet, but it was fast becoming obvious to her that if there was even the slightest >

< the outworlder. From her experience, beings who could absorb, amass, and harness demonic energy, with a few exceptions, were either unstable, unpredictable, a threat, or all three at once.

The fact that he was already wielding the energy with ease only served to increase her apprehension. >
November 8, 2025 at 10:24 PM
< Rerir's showcase of his abilities, though brief, revealed much about who they were dealing with.

Assuming this man had ever been human, that clearly was no longer the case. Not even close.

Lady and Dante exchanged a wary look before their expressions grew inscrutable, eyes returning to >

Something in his expression as Lady and the stranger regarded each other silently for a moment caught her attention.

Puzzled, the huntress narrowed her mismatched eyes questioningly when her efforts to read the stranger's expression proved futile. >
November 8, 2025 at 10:24 PM
< around here, so consider this a courtesy call." Lady crossed her arms over her chest, her expression hardening.

"Wanna tell us what your intentions are, big guy?"
November 7, 2025 at 7:53 PM
< over her hips. "𝘔𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘦 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘫𝘰𝘣," Dante made sure to point out, causing Lady to roll her eyes subtly.

"You've earned quite the reputation in such a short time," she continued, tilting her head sideways and regarding the stranger speculatively. "And it's obvious you're not from >
November 7, 2025 at 7:53 PM
< and what you're dealing with. We're devil hunters, my friend and I." She stepped closer, arms rising and palms facing upward in a mock shrug.

"Those creatures you've been slaughtering— well, they're demons. It's our job to hunt them down. Think of us as guns for hire." Her hands came to rest >
November 7, 2025 at 7:53 PM
< seemed anything but friendly, but he wasn't taking the easy bait Dante laid out either.

"Look, mister," the walking arsenal stepped in, cutting her friend off before he could make matters worse.

"We don't want any trouble, just here to make sure you know what you're getting yourself into >
November 7, 2025 at 7:53 PM
< conversation with the stranger, and the huntress was already nursing a headache. Sighing, she pinched the bridge of her nose, her annoyance rising at Dante's taunting comments.

This was why she never let him do the talking first. She could kiss diplomacy goodbye now— or maybe not? The stranger >

< quipped, eyebrow rising as she leaned over the space between the two front seats to gaze at the figure through the windshield.

"𝘐𝘴 𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘶𝘳𝘵?" Nico asked. "𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘴?"

"Kids these days love being edgy," Lady quipped, hopping out of the van after Dante. One minute into the >

< mirror. But Dante was right. Both of them had enough experience with unstable individuals to recognize the signs, and what she had glimpsed of this Racher of Solnari's violent escapades in those videos left her at least moderately concerned.

"What is he doing up there anyway? So dramatic," she >
November 7, 2025 at 7:53 PM
< proved just as uneventful, though considerably and mercifully shorter despite the winding dirt track road.

"Dante, we've been to creepier places. If he's hunting demons, I doubt he came here for the scenery," Lady replied dryly and rolled her eyes as she fixed her hair in the van's >
November 7, 2025 at 7:53 PM
< virtually unscathed when they eventually reached the village, her balance hardly affected by the rough trip.

The same couldn't be said for her hair. Trish would have had a good laugh at her expense if she were present.

Much like the ride to the village, the one to the abandoned mines >
November 7, 2025 at 7:53 PM
On their way to the destination, Lady felt beyond grateful for her steel stomach and minimal vertigo.

Despite being jerked around constantly and finding herself on the verge of tumbling several times when the armsmith hit a bigger bump in the road, she managed to climb out of the vehicle >

< @disquietdream.bsky.social allow myself to sleep too long.

...The, uh, nature of my job isn't helping either," she added vaguely. "Hectic schedule, hectic lifestyle, y'know?"

Between one blink and the next, the sky darkened and rain began to pour. Yet upon a closer inspection, it was not the >

< @disquietdream.bsky.social wonders and terrors, both human and otherwise, to remain fazed.

"Several, actually," she replied once she found her voice.

"Sometimes, I'm scared even to close my eyes. I'm... frightened of what night terrors await me on the other side if I >
