Seeking Dusk: Part 7

“You’re looking to stop a war, and will probably start one instead. What could I possibly want more than survival?” His phrasing intrigues me. I’m just here to hunt demons. What makes him think it will start a war? “A source of true obsidian.”

I didn\'t say this aloud, but he makes a perfect bodyguard. He seems resistant to physical and magical attacks. Not to mention that whatever is occurring at this residence wasn\'t enough to drive him away either means it isn\'t as dangerous as I thought, Con is stronger than I initially assumed, or he\'s just foolish. Considering how easily he\'ll let emotions control him, I can\'t rule out the third option. Still, he will come in handy.

Neon Noir: The Seventh Beat

Out back, behind the building in the alley, Vash’s mind started working on what she’d do out here. Even assuming Mr. Shane survived, she doubted he’d be able to get her car pulled around quickly. And if the attack ended up being more than the one man, she couldn’t wait around.

Not entirely, at the very least. But at the same time, I don’t know enough to really threaten him. As far as I can tell, he’s a supernaturally strong young man.

The Elysian: Seventh Dream

I don\'t know where we\'re running to, or what nasty tricks he\'ll throw at me along the way. He\'s right though, I did just kind of agree to this without thinking. Barely two minutes in, and I already got myself into a bit of a mess. This sideways forest, and the man who challenged me are complete mysteries. How do I know if I can keep up?
