Riley nodded her head as he got the point across that there was something in his past haunting him. She knew this feeling, of course, and she wasn't one to probe for information, nor ask for it unless she felt like someone wanted to share it with her. This did not seem to be the case with Piers.
She continued to nod as he told her a little about himself, offering her a look through the weapon, she politely declined, "I dislike weapons, I'll take your word for it," she softly assured, smiling a bit as she finished off her food, cleaned her hands with a napkin, and began to count out Jewels onto the table, enough to cover both of their meals.
"So tell me, Piers, is there anything that you would like to do? Perhaps go back to the guild? Or wander around Onibas?" She asked, wanting to do whatever it was he might like to do - if he even wished to do anything with her, that is.

((Sorry for joining in at random, I hope that's okay Merc. Stark said it was and he did invite me... ^^' It kind of gave me muse too...)) "Hey, Fiora... Why do you think these burn wounds haven't healed yet? They're beginning to irritate me and my skin looks really damaged..." A small red haired girl pondered, her skin sparkling in the sun which was from obvious signs of make up that had been plastered over her bandages and body to make it seem a lot more like skin and not so much injuries. As her red eyes glanced upwards, half narrowed against the bright light that was in the sky. "I mean, not only that, but too much make up is bad for your skin and eventually it's just going to make me a lot more uglier than I am now..." "Ugly? You're not ugly, you're actually quite pretty. Screw the burns, do you seriously think Shinzu had fallen for you just because of your personality? Your appearance is more than enough to woo any man." A voice replied, maturer and a lot more caring. "Anybody who says else wise will get a face full of boot."
Miki's red eyes closed a little as she faced the ground, suddenly her arm was grabbed and the smell of alcohol and cigarettes burned her nose. "What's this? A cute little girl like you shouldn't be wandering alone without a man by her side... Especially one who has the potential ability of becoming famous." A drunken voice came from beside her, the force of her arm being pulled towards the voice; her body became to scream for help but she tried to remain calm. "Let go." She said awkwardly, turning to face the male who had grabbed her arm. He was a lot taller than her and muscular, let alone was he gathering the attention of his friends who were cheering him on and one even took hold of her chin to make her face him. "Hey, she's cute too and look, she clearly likes a bit of bondage. Why don't we see more, starting with the neck." This males breath stank worse than that of the one having her arm. As she tried to look away, she felt his hand press against her choker and her eyes widened. "I wouldn't..." She suddenly seemed calmer than before, but it was too late. The choker was removed.
Her body glowed, she grew taller and her bust became larger, hips wider. A feminine and well proportioned body became of the small girl and she glanced around towards everybody, her red hair flowing in the small breeze that seemed to cheer her on, elegant red eyes narrowed and her black dress blowing softly along with her hair. "Seems idiots just don't get the idea, do they?" Miki, or shall I say, Fiora started at each of the males, their mouths drooling and she just smirked. They backed up a bit as she summoned her violin and began to play a dark melody that emitted and sound waves flew in front of her, zombies jumped out of the ground and sent the males scrambling backwards in fear. "My little friends, teach these guys a lesson and cover you ears ~" Luckily, she was in rather big alley way that the pub was at; people had ran away when they saw the zombies and some even headed in the direction of Riley and Piers screaming about Zombies coming from the floor. "In the mean time... Not only are you guys blind by perverse, but you're also deaf..." She smirked, leaning backwards as she kept playing the violin. Instantly, she screamed, making glass shatter as sound waves left her mouth.
The guys fell backwards, blood rolling down their ears and their eyes wide with fear as they fell to the floor. Zombies holding their arms and preventing them from fleeing. "Next time, be careful who you touch." Fiora sneered, playing the ghastly tune still.
Spell Name: Nightmare Violin Type: Sound Level: Greenhorn Range: 3 metres Description: A violin that summons the dead, they will walk a distance after their foe as the music plays a beautiful yet ghastly melody, glowing purple with ghostly motions flowing from it. Drawback: The zombies are incredibly weak during greenhorn level. Their distance is small and they die after 4 posts or when the violin has stopped being played or is destroyed.
Spell Name: Banshee Screech. Type: Sound Level: Greenhorn Range: 5 metres. Description: Miki takes a long deep breath, lowers her body down and screams out loud. The scream is loud enough to make the ground and have visible waves. It marks into the trees and can make ears bleed, temporarily deafen people and disorientate them. It's strong enough to smash glass. Drawback: It has a small range and a small chance of damaging her vocals or making her throat sore. The Disorientation lasts two posts.

Piers slid the glove back on. "Sure, I'd love to come back to the guild. It sounds promising.", he stated as he grabbed for the rifle. But he was rather surprised. "I guess Onibas is a promising place afterall. It's not everday that you hear about zombies.", Piers stated as he ran towards where people ran from. He made sure the glove was on tight and seemed like he was going to say something.
Piers swung around the corner. "Enchant - Lightning!", he called, pointing at one of the zombies. He was gambling with his magic, but he smiled as lightning arced out from one of the zombies, striking the others. Piers also felt one of the four arcs sent out, but allowed his glove to take the brunt of the damage.
He then loaded a blank bullet into his Anti-Material Rifle and aimed for the girl, zooming in with the scope. "Stop whatever you're doing. I shouldn't have to take a shot at you.", he stated, trying to find reasonable ground with the girl.
(For intents and purposes, I did randomize the result of my Enchant - Lightning. A 1 out of 10 chance is quite rare to get but it happened.)

"Excellent," Riley smiled, as the man told her that he wished to go back to the guild with her. She rose from her chair, pausing as there were people screaming about zombies. Her mind instantly flickered to a certain member of her guild, whom was known for summoning such creatures, and her brows furrowed a bit. She knew Miki was not the sort of person to just randomly use her magic for fun, so it worried her a bit to think that the zombies were Miki's (and more if they were not).
She looked to Piers, or at least to the space where he had been standing, and shook her head a bit as she found it empty. Catching up to Piers was not a problem for her, naturally, though as she came up behind him he cast one of his spells, and she sidestepped when a stray bolt hit Piers himself. Her green eyes scanned the area, looking to the men and finally to Miki, she began to step forwards, though paused as Piers pointed the gun at her.
The guildmaster rose her hand, resting it lightly atop the weapon and suggesting he lower it, Piers, this is Miki, a member of Griffin Wing," she paused a moment, inspecting the woman a little closer, "no... This is Fiora, if I'm not mistaken," she corrected a moment later, giving a deep sigh as she did so.
The female made her way forwards, somehow looking a little more mature than the last time that Miki had seen her, perhaps even a little older physically, but at any rate, she put herself between her guild member and the weapon, which, if still rose, was likely pointed to the center of her back. She stepped over some of the fallen men, taking a moment to add things up in her head before speaking up, "and I assume she has a good reason for this," she added, which was not a threat of course, it was merely her way of asking for the reason, though it was pretty obvious that the men had something to do with it.
As she got closer, within reach of Miki/Fiora, she paused. Something seemed different, her skin looked a little strange, and Riley was staring at the covered wounds, though they were hidden by makeup, they were not hidden well enough for her to overlook while she had been examining the other female so closely.
Gently, she extended a hand, her fingers grazing along some makeup covered bandages, "what happened here?" She asked, eyes trailing towards the other female's face.

As Piers appeared, Fiora's instant reaction was to assume that he was another one of the drunkards friends who actually had magic abilities until he had destroyed her zombies and aimed his weapon towards her. She stopped playing her violin and let it vanish into nothing before standing up straight and narrowing her red eyes towards the male, opening her mouth to explain her reason before Riley came up. "Riley!" Miki exclaimed, gasping a little when she realized how bad this would look in the older females perspective.
Fiora gazed towards Riley, rather glad the female didn't bother jumping to the wrong conclusion like the male who arrived had, she turned to face her guild master and a calm smile came over her face. "Oh you know, the usual. Walking around town, go through an assumed safe alley in a smaller form and then drunkards jumping out at you and grabbing you, just to perverse more - All self defense really." She laughed a little. Walking over to the male who had removed her choker and snatching it from him. "You have a keen eye, Riley. " She let out a soft grin, laughing after. She placed on her choker and instantly shrunk into Miki, wrapping her arms tightly around her Riley's body and hiding her head against Riley's chest.
"Riley! I missed you." She instantly began to tear up, letting tears roll down her cheeks and her stomach dropped with guilt. She knew it had to be done, she knew what had to be told; she knew the outcome would be rough. As she removed the bandages from her arms and legs, lines followed over her body like tribal markings, but in truth were burns. "Riley! I'm so sorry... I've been wanting to tell you for ages now... I can't hide it anymore." She glanced towards Piers, her red eyes tearing up more before shaking her head and falling to her knees in front of them both. She still loved him, she still was madly in love with Shinzu.

Piers lowered his gun. He didn't need to have it explained. This girl was someone unique, but he couldn't quite tell why. He held his gun, and unloaded the blank bullet. He gave a shy smile as he crossed eyes with her, but couldn't help but want to consol her. She seemed innocent enough. He figured it would be better not to speak; after all, it seemed Riley could handle it.
His eyes kept themselves on the girl. He was somewhat, distant from the world when he gazed upon her. His initial thoughts upon seeing her vanished, and he was left with a desire to have another taste. He wanted to give in to his curiousity, but refused. He wasn't a cat. Didn't feel like dieing either.
He muttered something unintelligable under his breath.

"Ah. Been there before," Riley nodded her head a little in understanding, as there had been a time when she frequently found herself in such trouble - though since becoming a guild master it happened far less often, as people seemed to collectively agree that trying to cause trouble for her was a bad idea.
Watching as Fiora changed back to Miki, she was a bit surprised as the girl suddenly hugged her with such force, she allowed one arm to wrap around the girl, petting her back gently, while the other moved to softly pet her hair, "I've missed you too," she assured, though something felt a bit off to her. Miki soon revealed that she had been hiding something, and Riley arched a brow slightly, unsure of what it could be.
"It can't be that bad..." She mumbled as she watched the girl fall to her knees, quickly crouching beside her, "Miki, whatever it is, you know you can tell me, and I'll do whatever I can to help you with it," she assured, taking a moment to glance back at Piers and give him a bit of a sympathetic look.

Miki stayed close to Riley, looking towards Piers with teared up eyes. Allowing them to roll down her cheeks, she sniffled and made sure to stick close to the older girl. "Who-who's that?" She asked, before shaking her head. Never mind that.
When Riley asked her what was wrong, her whole body froze and she realized just what she had said and how it randomly happened out of nowhere, she knew it was too late to go back and sooner or later Riley would fine out too. From her being dead or not. "It's about..." she awkwardly shuffled, tears streaming down her face and over her cheeks. "It's about... Sh.." She swallowed, feeling like there was a stone stuck in her throat. It moved slowly down her neck, making her feel rather sick. Biting down really hard against her lip, she moved a little away from Riley in case the woman suddenly had an outburst of rage. "It's about Shinzu." She finally said, looking to the right side.
"Many many months ago, I met Shinzu and we became friends - one day I eventually told him I was in love with him and he had returned it, but... One day Shark Fang attacked us and he abandoned me, leaving me to die and claiming I was weak. After that, I came across Griffin Wing." She looked around, red eyes refusing to look towards her leader. "Then I went looking for him, eventually I found him in Lyon Graveyard and we became close. He then kissed..." She realized that Sakura was also in the guild and shifted awkwardly. "... This girl and turns out she really liked him too and then he told me he was too weak for me and can't see or talk to me anymore. Then suddenly one day, when that princess had to return home with your brother protecting her... Fiora told Shinzu a little lie about me having killed myself and then Shinzu went ballistic and tried to kill her using this big fire blast of a spell and that's how I got all these burn marks..." She pointed to the injuries on her arms and neck. "Then he told me how he meant everything he said and then suddenly out of nowhere... He wanted to kill me." She gritted her teeth, the choker on her neck glowing slightly.
Pressing her hand to her choker, she gazed down at the ground with a forlorn look on her face. "Since then, I just haven't smile like I used to but Chris seems to change that..." She smiled a little, a small blush on her face.

"That's Piers, he's thinking about joining our guild," Riley explained, simply and softly. She rest her forearms against her knees where she was crouched, her hand dangling a bit as she watched the other female, "it's about...?" She echoed, arching a brow slightly. It was wise of Miki to move, because as soon as the foul name left her lips, a dark aura came over Riley - her magical power leaking out subconsciously, causing a pressure intense enough to crack the ground beneath her feet and blow her hair about.
Her eyes were wide for a moment, but she seemed to have become aware of what her magic was doing, as the pressure died out slightly (though it still remained in part), and did not seem as sinister as it first had.
"That's a name I haven't heard in a long time," she murmured, "so he... Left you to die... And you still went looking for him to befriend him?" Her voice was a bit strained as she asked this, trying to understand what exactly had possessed Miki to do such a thing. She brought a hand towards her face, massaging her temple slightly at the thought that Miki had 1) been foolish enough to run back to Shinzu after what he had done to her, and 2)been foolish enough to be involved with Shinzu - whom Riley was somewhat adamant about maiming, or perhaps worse.
She was at a bit of a loss for words. Being angry, and wanting to comfort someone at the same time left her conflicted, but she eventually cleared her throat, "he is a psychopath, Miki. Blowing people up and trying to kill them are just some of his favorite pass times. It would be best for you to just forget about a person like him... He exists only to make others suffer," she pointed out, fighting to keep her cool, and to keep her aura from causing those around her to pass out simply due to it's intense pressure.
Riley decided that Miki couldn't have been that broken up over Shinzu, as she already had her eye on someone else, and nodded a bit to herself, "lets all head back to the guild now. I'm sure they can do something for your burns, and I assume Piers still wants to have a look around," she slowly rose to her full height, closing her eyes tightly for a moment, she slowly reopened them, with a deep, almost bitter, exhale.

Miki looked towards Piers, tearing up still before rubbing her eyes with her sleeves and removing the tears before taking her choker off. As she changed once more, she brushed her rose red hair over her shoulders and let it flow around her waist.
"I've never liked or trusted Shinzu." Fiora stated coldly towards Riley, not intentionally however. "So, Piers." She said softly afterward, smiling. "Joining Griffin Wing, eh? A lot of alcoholics and Riley is super vicious when she's mad and on her monthly." Fiora smiled, laughing softly before turning towards Riley. "I'm actually quite hungry and very thirsty, so I am fine wherever we go." She brushed her fingers through her hair and let it flow around her back and shoulders - a calm and collected expression on her face.

Piers didn't say anything, just nodding and shrugging. He was thinking about his brother and how his place in the government was obviously gone if he joined Griffin Wing. But he obviously had no choice and planned to join Griffin Wing.

As Riley was walking, she almost fell over at Fiora's comment, though she said nothing of it, she kept ahead of them as she walked, blushing a bit and moving a bit stiffly as they approached the guild.
The walk was not a long one, they could practically see the guild from where they were standing, so within a few minutes they were standing on the front porch and heading inside. As she stepped into the main area, the guild hall, she came to a stop, looking to Piers, "welcome to Griffin Wing, Mister Nivans," she said, giving a bit of a bow to him as she smiled a bit. "Feel free to take a look at anything, have something to eat, asked any questions you might have, and so forth," she offered, continuing to smile as she strode further into the guild. As she wandered over to a clothing rack, she picked up her jacket, sliding her arms into it and giving her shoulders a slow roll.
Eventually, her eyes trailed over her shoulder for a moment, looking to Fiora, easily recognizing the difference in the two of the, she frowned a little to herself and sighed, plopping on a barstool for a moment as she thought.
There was some fluttering and flapping of wings as a barn owl swooped down from where it had be perched on the railing of the second floor, instead choosing to rest on Riley's shoulder. He eyed Piers, an unfamiliar face, with interest and a bit of wariness, letting out a soft purr like chirping sound, as though asking a question, as he was tilting his head as well.
"Don't worry about him, Atlas. He wants to join our guild," She smiled. The bird did not yet seem to be convinced.

Fiora could see the blush on Riley's face and a smile of triumph crawled over her own. She walked forward behind the two and crossed her arms, being careful not to say anything else that could make Riley eventually turn around and lose her temper.
As they arrived at Griffin Wing, Fiora tilted her head and covered her lips with one finger. "Welcome home." She muttered to herself, shifting her gaze to Piers. Looking him up and down, she frowned slightly. Something was bothering him and she didn't like it. Clearing her throat as if to get his attention, she shifted her gaze to see Riley had already gone in and headed inside herself.
"No place like home ~" She sang, sitting down on a bar stool. "Food ~" She drummed her fingers on the counter before ordering a baguette and when it arrived she swerved around on her chair, crossed her legs and took a bite out of it. When she had swallowed, she looked towards Piers once more. "Piers was it? You jump to conclusions a lot, don't you?" She asked softly, no bitterness in her voice. "I mean, you held a gun towards me without even asking what happened here first." She leaned back and rested her elbows on the table. "Not a nice thing to do, if you ask me." a giggle escaped Fiora's lips. "That's just my opinion on the matter, but I'm not a very nice person myself ~"

"I'd point the gun again, given the chance.", allowing a laspe in his own judgement. He kept his mouth shut afterwards, a somewhat sour expression smeared across his face. This can never feel like a home, nothing can. Words from anyone can't change years of abuse, Piers thought as he found an empty wall to lean against. His desicion mostly came from the distance it gave him from anyone.
He really didn't want to dwell on the past, but he was stuck thinking about it. He seemed to stare off and become completely ignorant to any interactions as he explored his mind.

Once she had gotten settled, and with the bird still perched upon her shoulder, Riley had ordered herself a hot chocolate, and reclined a little against the bar as one of the new workers rushed to fulfill her order. Chuckling a bit, she accepted the warm, pleasant drink as it was offered to her, smiling at the dollop of whipped cream floating atop it, slowly melting. The young woman remained relatively quiet as the two exchanged words, Fiora seeming to have said something that upset Piers, whom had a strange look across his face.
He took on a somewhat distant look, and she huffed a bit, taking another sip of her hot drink, she shook her head a little, "though, it is a bit odd," Riley admitted after a few long moments, her free hand raising to ruffle at the feathers of the bird nestled on her shoulder, "most men would have jumped to the aid of the woman," she somewhat absently pointed out, tapping one foot against the stool as she did so.
"Not that it really matters, I suppose," she went on to muse, taking another swig of her hot chocolate, she gave a sidelong glance to Fiora before returning her attention to Piers, "so, what do you think of the guild so far?" She wondered.
