As I thought you might...Let's just say, we've not been speaking for the first time here. he let out another whisper like a sigh, looking at her again. The part of the scarf around his jaw shifted a bit, moving upwards. But I've enjoyed this talk the most.

"I know this, you are there when each worthy soul is ready to pass" her eyes closed, "But back then I was an innocent child... I had nothing to gain your gaze" she would say truthfully, she watched as he moved his mask and realized she herself should be wearing hers, but she wasn't in a fight and she knew this one had seen her face previously

The fifth pair is now available.

If either of you are not half-dead by the end, then you must try harder.

I'm already half dead ~growls~

Aye, Asura. Ever diligent~ he raised his hand, as if it were holding a goblet. Oh...right. Sorry, old habits and such. Tr ya habit over a millenia old, very hard to get rid of...

He had never shifted his gaze from the woman's eyes. He felt himself making a facial expression, the first time in centuries, and he wondered what it was. He no longer truly knew what the body motions of his own meant, so he passed it off. He noticed her face was bare, and made that same strange facial expression.

Last time I saw you, you were talking to a man in a bar. I remember, I waited to see how he reacted to you, and the race you hail from. Did you know, he knew from the moment you walked in the bar? Interesting man, he was...

*smirks*
Then try for three-quarters, if you please.

"I shall try if my opponent doesn't die first" Standing she moved her hand to her chest "We shall meet again soon I feel" her head bowing for a moment before looking to Shade "Remain... no matter what... you must remain" she knelt and stroked him once lovingly "I will see you soon my dear Shade" standing she turned away with a sigh "Lets get this inconvenience out of the way" her clothing changing as a mask appeared to cover her face she stopped and looked back to Asura "I can see why you like twilight tea" she chuckle and move through the shadow

And there she goes again~

Asura, that one and I have a rather long history. I would keep a special eye on her.

In fact, I think I will...

"Bring it on." :)

Are you speaking to me? If so, I highly advise you hold your tounge, cur.

Cheesecake got a little sarcastic, "Well of course I am talking to you. After all, you are my opponent as listed on the first page."

If you were not a contestan, I would remove your spine.

I am the only one HERE, I think it is rather valid I thought you were talking to me. If you're speaking to empty space, then...please, continue~

Walks back into the area, she hung a bell on a tree to alert her when her opponent turned up "I refuse to stand around like a ninny" she say making her way back to shade who stood ready to pounce her, dodging she touched his ear "Got you!" she say contently pulling down her mask just to have shade pounce her, laughing she moved her hand into her sash she brought out some meat "Okay, okay you win" she laugh childishly

Heh, it is good to see you with such joy.

"But regardless of what the circumstances were, it would have been beneficial to have known the pair I was in."

I was very aware of this. The fact that it took you this long to come find out is no fault of mine, and further does not explain your speaking to the air.

As I said before, please, continue.
