"Get going, Blondie. We can catch him." And shortly, I spotted him. I dashed and tackled him in my own form of hug. "Dai. You did it. Good job."

"Thanks..." I mumble halfheartedly as I draped my arms around her. I can't exactly put my finger on it, but something feels off... I broke the hug early and walked past Rin and her companion, hands behind my head in a relaxed position. "It didn't feel like a good job..." I continued to walk forwards towards the exit, eyes straight ahead. No matter how calm I thought I felt, I couldn't stop the frown that was spreading across my face. "I think I need a drink..."

"...Blondie, you can do whatever you want. I'm gonna follow him, I think." I calmly tell him. And I walk off after Daisuke. Like a moth to a peanut butter sandwich... "Dai. Where are you going? I just found you. You really gonna leave me? Just like that?" I try and look cute, waiting for him to turn around and acknowledge me.

I turn and face Rin. Almost immediately my frown changes into an odd, slight smile. It was hard for me to frown at her. "You're free to come if you'd like. But I have to warn you now; if you come with me, you're going to have to witness why I developed the stage name 'Sauntering Sword'." I said with a misplaced chuckle.

"Eh? I don't care, really. I just got you back, Dai. Eight years. I'm not letting you go just yet. You could go stab a shoopuf clean in its stomach and bathe in its blood, and I'll still join you." I have no idea what a shoopuf is in the first place, but it's true.

I laugh at her random analogy and turn around once more, feeling slightly better. "I've missed you so much Rin. Now, let's go find a bar."

"A bar? We're drinking?" I give a sly, delighted grin. "My, how the times have changed you. Now you know how to have fun with me. Let's go."

I took one of her sleeves as if it were her hand and continued heading towards the exit. "Yeah, I discovered alcohol a while back. I began drinking to relieve my problems. I would sometimes show up for fights so drunk that I would like I was sauntering with confidence. Hence the nickname. Surprisingly, i'm an even better fighter when I'm drunk."

"Oh really?" I question. "That's weird. People usually just fall over when they're drunk... I got drunk once, you know. And it was AWWWESOME. Everything was just all FWOOSH! And the colors... they were all like SHWOO! And everything blurred and walking was all KER-SPLOSH! It's really fun!"

I followed quietly, watching Daisuke carefully, wondering what was catching my attentiona bout him...
That's when I noticed the back of his hand.
I paused, kept going.
"Hey, Daisuke," I asked, "where'd you get your tattoo?" I nodded at it - a mountain, with a circle surrounding the tip....

I laugh heartily at Rin's ramblings before responding to the man. "Oh, this?" I held me hand up for the two of them to see. "I've had it since I was born. I actually forget that it's here sometimes, as my parents tried very hard to keep it covered." I replied, letting my arm drop again. "I actually had a glove custom made to copy the design for my other hand, except the color is gold." I took out the aforementioned finger-less glove and handed it to him. "It's one of my favorite things to wear, actually. It helps me keep a tight grip on my swords and it just looks really cool!"

I watched him for a moment thoughtfully, closing my eyes and testing my bond with Tarran, tracing the flow of mana and Lunar through the air, confirming my suspicions. Opening my eyes again, I shook my head, holding back a laugh.
"They are just coming out of the woodwork, aren't they?" I said quietly to myself, lacing my hands behind my head as I walked.

I put my glove on my right hand and continued to walk, not noticing the man's comment. "So, have we been introduced yet?" I asked, not knowing if I knew this man or not. "Oh, and are you death? Rin mentioned something about travelling with Death earlier..."

I choked.
"No!" I said. "No, I'm not Death." Truth, though only on a technicality. "I'm..." I sighed, giving Rin a murdrous glare. "I'm the Lunar Knight of Death." I laughed. "Though you probably don't believe in us..."

I glanced at the man with confusion, before replying with; "What's a 'Lunar Knight?'" Being separated from the outside world for so long has it's repercussions. "Sorry if that's a dumb question, but most gladiators don't pay attention to the news. To tell you the truth, I know nothing of the happenings outside of Silicis..."
