Snippet #2694600

Alas, they begun on their way like so.

What drew him to them, then? Were it mere curiosity he'd of simply let them be for he has more tangible leads to pursue. The leak of power from the cat woman was indeed impressive. The attention from the crusaders of the sixth order was also interesting.

Her resemblence to the statues these orders had erected of a female cat girl goddess was not overlooked either.


He could tell that the man with her as well as another in the crowd were alerted to him in one manner or another. No matter he thought. It will be no skin off my nose as I'll be passing through soon. I had best not draw too much attention in the meanwhile.

Seeing as how the two were looking to their heels for any suspicious pursuers he opted not to follow them but rather he followed after the crusaders who were in tow. He stayed well enough back that he was quite unseen to his main interest for the time being. He could tell the crusaders weren't looking out for tailers as they had developed a sense of tunnel vision.


Eventually they all arrived at the grav-train station. No matter what distances could be held there was not a lot to obfuscate behind while stuck in a lineup at the ticket booth. Seeing as how he noticed a humanoid's reaction to his magic's presence earlier he opted to let his enchantment drop, the active blood magic spell silently dismissed from being.

Eventually he got his ticket. He had noticed the cat woman and her companion head on down to the back car of the train so he opted to purchase a ticket for a seat there for himself. He was lucky to score the last ticket for that particular car.


Upon approaching the entrance he was cut off by a crusader who had apparantly taken a ticket of her own to that particular car. She was armored and equipped lighter than the more formidable looking women among their ranks, herself being slightly shorter than him, however she was still geared for combat all the same.

Keeping up the appearance of paying no mind he filed on board no differently because of this. Due to the other seats being taken it seemed this crusader was a bit seperated from the rest. This became all the more evident when they both approached what appeared to be their room. The lady stopped dead in her tracks upon seeing just who she was sharing a compartment with. It wasn't a complete revelation but it was with enough concern to warrant a pause.


Eduard had to catch himself to stop from colliding into the young woman ahead of him as she had stopped quite suddenly. He stood, looking mildly bored as he waited for her to continue into their compartment. He was far from bored by this but he wanted to give off a much more regular impression to any who might be looking. Faking normalcy was a skill he's been honing since the day he was born.
