There's a creature here who killed my friend, and injured my brother. I don't know what it calls itself, but my friend describes a woman with eyes as black as pitch.

[ His eyes are far too bright to be human, a feral fire lit behind them ]

Have a care for yourselves, for it has, apparently, killed at least once and tried to do so more than that.

[ And then almost absently ]

Findekano, my king, I ask your blessing on my hunt.

[ And you know, permission to torture and play with his prey but he won't say that aloud ]

[ He laughs, the sound sharp and with edges he doesn't normally have ]

No, he would greatly disapprove, if I know my brother. But he'd be equally grateful you're here to keep us out of trouble, and so he would split the difference and merely wish you good hunting.

[ He smiles merrily at Yukari ]

Ah now, I think you probably underestimate yourself. You've always moved like a warrior, Yukari. I trust you to have a care for your own self.

Keep you out of trouble, hmm? I suppose I could work with that.

[Yukari would normally counteract the declaration that he has forgotten himself in any way, shape, or form. But being able to reflect on how things have been since the breakup and everything else up until recently, it isn't far from the truth at all.]

Well, then, perhaps this mission will bring about something more resembling the warrior I once was, then.

I will do my best not to slow you down!
