When the Streetlights Come On~ [Open][NR]

The child stared as she heard the dragons words, and then the female's words that had shown up. She couldn't believe he was getting as pissed off as he was all because she had called him a lizard. Sure, had she used some sort of dirty swear word or something she could understand... but a lizard? Emo hurt feelings much?

Niala felt torn almost: should she remain here and possibly say something else that might risk having one or both of the outsiders attacking her, or go with Amaranth and possibly become friends and go play a game. Choice one would keep her from going back to that tower and having to be close to that box that waited for her like a dark cloud. But, choice two offered her a friend around her own age, and some fun.... plus, she wouldn't get... well, whatever the pair might do to her if she accidentally insulted them again.

She thought over Amaranth's words; if the Boss didn't want Amaranth around this woman she wondered if he really wanted any of his other people around her either; and she was now one of his people.

"Bleah... "

She stood up from the swing, threw one last glance at the pair and then to Amaranth as she gave them their advice or... well, it sounded more like a warning to Niala. She didn't understand why they had come to a park anyway; a park was a place for kids to play, to have fun. Her and Amaranth were children, they had a right to be here. She found herself thinking it was rather unfair that they had to leave; but she would do so anyway, just to avoid trouble. And she figured, given her psychic abilities and the vibes and unguarded thoughts she was picking up on that if she didn't leave there was definitely going to be trouble.

"Bunch of damn bullies... All over a word."

With the words spoken she turned her form and followed after Amaranth, figuring that she might as well go enjoy herself and play a game, then perhaps deal with that box.

Him? A bully? If anything she was the one antagonising him! Calling him a lizard! How dare she! And she was the one getting offended? What the hell was wrong with children these days? The two-leg-no-horns used to be a bit more polite to strangers than that little whiny brat of a child. Every single humanoid was so needy, so expectant. Mine! I want it know! He had heard Himitsu dub them as the 'Microwave generation'. He wasn't entirely sure what I microwave was, or what it had to do with a generation of pissy intolerant children.

Just the audacity of the two-legged-no-horned races! All they did was take and thieve and destroy! Reaping light and her earth of all of her bounties, all without thanks or second thought. He doubted they could even feel guilt, loss or grief. In fact, he was certain that they were incapable. Pompous, arrogant, self-righteous, self-important, dependant, destructive, ignorant and unneeded race!

He was ticked, but he kept it all to himself, away from the clawing, grasping, too curious mental hands of any lurking psychics.

Snorting he stood, glaring away from Himitsu at the ground. It was tearing him in half, fighting the urge to go harm the girl. Himi's orders forbade it, but the desire to inflict hurt was also strong. He wanted to maul and eat the little brat but he couldn't. Himitsu was cruel to him indeed.

To an outsider he would look indifferent, even his energy lacked the charge of any emotion; Himitsu could tell though. He knew she could. She could feel his displeasure because she was always in his head. She could read him like a book when she was that deep inside of him. He didn't like it. The last being that had been that far in his head was his Hana, and she was dead now. Actually, Hana had been further inside of his mind than any one else. He had been open to her with everything, no barriers, no secrets; they had even shared the waking visions of dreams. Their minds had been so intimate, so enveloped in each other... With anyone else it hurt, felt wrong, like someone scrubbing steel wool over a fresh sore, or someone dragging soggy wet wool over sensitive bare skin. It was just painful and wrong feeling.

Himitsu's connection to his mind was no where near that close or personal. She knew what he allowed her to feel, see and hear. All of his hyper personal thoughts, urges, desires and dreams were kept deep within himself, a place where no one could reach unless allowed.

He let her lead him out of the park, trailing close behind her as if all was normal.

Wait... Did the pre-teen teeny-bopper just call her a bully? Wait... Wha...? Himitsu querked an eyebrow in confusion... How had she? What? How had Re or she bullied the two girls? Re did not do anything aggressive to the girl, he had just sat there. She knew he had, else he would have violated orders, which wasn't possible. By the contract's rules it was not possible.

And all Himi had done was politely ask the adolescent to stop referencing to her guard as a lizard because it was rude and inconsiderate. She had in no way shape or form threatened the child. Himitsu was just... Just done with the people of Edge City. With the exception of Alec Kane, his grandchild and the Vampyre named Gile, the people of the city were rash, inconsiderate and highly ignorant. She had seen that from this girl's actions as well as Squall-kill-everything's words and actions.

Well... You could try to teach, but you could never breed the stupid out of an intellectually low being. She guessed that the kid's rude disposition was simply the result of bad breeding and poor parenting. It was were most issues started. Bad breeding. Sure, Himitsu's family was fucking power hungry and insane, but they were nobility, even the most unsettled of them had moral standards and expectations.

Eh, a child's bad personality was not her concern until the child did something to her; which in that case said child would get harmed, possibly killed. Disrespect didn't fly with Himi. The only reason she wasn't hurting something was out of respect for Alec Kane and simply life in general. She had already had more than her fair share of violence and bloodshed. She wanted to avoid a war if possible, the people in the city were just making it harder and harder though.

But that was besides the point.

When Re stood and followed she lead him from the park, away to a less populated area so he could try to calm down. She knew he was upset over it; I mean, why wouldn't he? The girl had just insulted him at the highest of levels. She just didn't need him transforming into his ghastly large true form and flattening a sizable area of Edge City and said city's residents.
