"This battle is over..." Kain said while opening his eyes back up, they were irritated looking from whatever had pushed him back, "I believe it's fair to say you'll do fine in the Saints, Roxa."

Roxa had already joined the Saints, but he sheathed his swords and punched the air nonetheless "Yeah!" He exclaimed before remembering that Alessia was here, and hoping that she hadn't heard Kain say his name, he quickly let out a nervous cough before scratching the back of his neck "That's... Uh... Yeah, that's cool." He once more gave that awkward cough before looking across at the blonde swordsman who was crouched nearby with an orange-haired girl who was rather pretty, at least from a distance that is.
"Say Kain..." Roxa said squinting the get a better view of the pair of them. "Who are those two over there? The ones with the headbands and funny looking swords?"

Kain glanced over to where Roxa had directed, "That man is named Brea, he is part of the Itan-Sha... an ally." He wasn't so sure who the woman's name was for he had only really ever spoken to Brea.

Alessia giggled as she walked over to Roxa, nudging him lightly, "You like that girl over there, don't you, Soga?" She giggled a bit more, "Careful, the Itan-Sha are a dangerous bunch. She might kill you just for asking for her name!"
She was joking of course, she really had no idea what the Itan-Sha were like. It was strange, something was so familiar about this 'Soga' but she couldn't place where she had heard his voice. She moved to the side a little to get a good view of his face.

"Soga?" Ave giggled in his ear "The best fake name you could come up with, was Soga?" Roxa pushed the voice away and simply shrugged at Alessia's comment, but also made sure to turn himself away from her in the process "Pffth." He snorted "They don't look that tough, I could probably take them!" Roxa was hoping that it was a bluff that he would not have to step up to. In reality the two fighters unnerved him slightly, Roxa had heard the rumors of the Itan-Sha. A sect of godless warriors who believe a mans soul passes into his sword when he does and makes it stronger. The blonde-haired one had an air about him even from this distance, the casual way he held his sword, it made him look like he could unsheathed and kill you with it in a split second.
The orange haired woman was somewhat different, she stood with her arms crossed and a similar sword to Brea's at her side. Her hands rested casually by her thighs, she knew that there was going to be no trouble between the two groups. Then, the blonde haired man stood up straight, and started walking towards the group.

"Alta." Brea said as he walked towards the Saints. "The kid with his hood up, the one who was sparring a moment ago. What do you think his chances of surviving the battle are?" Alta simply shrugged "I don't know, why do you ask?" Brea Cao-Wei smiled at his friends words. "Come on! You have to have an opinion, he looks young, a bit on the thin side but he's definitely fast. Plus there's that force that drives him..." Alta frowned across at Brea "Well, we've just seen him push Kain onto the defensive, so he's definitely fast, he has some strength, maybe more that he just doesn't show and that driving force doesn't seem to hinder him. I'm just curious as to what made Kain stumble so badly..."
"Speaking of Kain." Brea said "What do you think of him? Worthy to lead the Saints?" Alta once again simply shrugged "He's troubled. I doubt it will hinder him, but he's troubled. He's fine now, but, in the future? The cuts and gashes of war will definitely scar him. All of them. These are too young to fight." Brea snorted "You abducted me when I was a kid! Then Faharia threw me into the vipers nest to survive!" Alta chuckled "Tht is our code, you're better prepared because of it but... These younglings, most have never seen war let alone fought it. They may struggle." Brea looked across at Alta and frowned, she rarely showed concern save for when it's needed, and than unnerved him slightly.
"Hello there!" Brea called out to the Saints now that he was within talking distance "My name is Brea Cao-Wei! This is my friend Alta Frei! We have to say Kain, we were watching your sparring session, impressive, the young one has some talent, I see! Slightly unfair to have him fight you though, slightly uneven odds..." he looked at Roxa in a similar manner that Kain had. Brea on the other hand couldn't see into souls. "Was it unfair odds..? What are you hiding..?" he asked himself.

Sonorc still sat on the hill, watching the Saints and the Itan-Sha talk among each other, as he took a sip of his tea, then he started to cough. He looked at his hand, and saw some spats of blood, making him stare at his hand with rage. Damn, the tea was suppose to slow this! He thought as he wipe the hand on the ground.

Kain simply nodded towards Brea, glancing back at Roxa for a moment, "He may not look like much, but's he been fighting his entire life... he can handle himself well." It was cruel for Kain to point out that 'he didn't look like much', after all Kain himself was a tall, thin man without any visible muscle. Under normal circumstances he'd be judged unfit to fight in any war.
Nevertheless Kain knew there was something in Roxa, even from the first time they had meant all that time ago he knew he had been battling a demon.

Roxa had to bite his tongue at being called 'Not much to look at'. He took it in his stride and instead eyed up this 'Brea Cao-Wei' He wished that he could say that he didn't look that much, but the guy was pretty tall and that sword, despite being sheathed, looked as sharp as sin. And he really didn't want to get on the wrong side of its blade. Besides, Alessia was stood right next to him, he wasn't planning to start running his mouth off! He had his reasons for all this at the time, he had actually met Alessia a few months prior, that was before going to kill off a bunch of local bandits in what was quite frankly a disgusting and brutal fashion, he didn't have it in him to go back and face her after that.
He simply grunted, and turned away from the group, he approached Sonorc and crouched down opposite the older man. "Hey there, Gramps!" Roxa said (just low enough for it not to reach Alessia's ears clear enough). He could see why some of the others called Sonorc Gramps, it was Van who usually said it the most, but it had stuck amongst most of the group.

Sonorc grabbed his cane, and swung the top at Roxa's head. "Respect your elders, Soga! My name is Sonorc Optimus, ya damn Whippersnapper."

Off in the distance was a farm house, it looked like any other farm house, it was very simple... so what was interesting about that farm house?
Well a shirtless man had just leaped out of the window with another man screaming at him to 'Stay away from this place', followed by a younger woman's plea for what appeared to be her father not to hurt whom had just leaped out of the house. So what does this have ANYTHING to do with the Saints?
Well that man who had leaped out of the house happened to be a Saint.
He ran through the field until he had reached Sonorc and Roxa, leaping behind them and crouching down.
"HIDE ME!" He yelled, staying hidden behind them until the person chasing after him had left, "That was really close, I thought he was going to get me there for a second..." He glanced over at Roxa and Sonorc, "Thanks Sonorc and 'new guy' for being the perfect hiding place!"

"Oh Sonorc..." Grey grinned, "Yes you do know why I'm ranked 2." He nodded, "It's clearly because of my good looks! Isn't that right, Alessia!?"
Of course she didn't answer him, she hardly even acknowledged his presence at the moment, "She may not say it, but I know she's thinking it."

"You keep up with that attitude, and you will never get the ladies, Grey." He said, as he continued to drink his tea, "I have a better shot with Alessia than you do."

"Pleeeeeeaaaseee!" He laughed, "The new guy has a better chance than you do, and that's not saying much! (no offense.) Right now Sonorc, it's a game of cat and mouse, she wants me... she's just too shy to admit it."
He winked her way, which of course wasn't even noticed.
