Snippet #2181836

Eh...? Wha- what?

Not a single volt of lightning had or could be delivered from Razeluxe's hand into Kaiyo's (Attractive) head. It didn't make sense to him instantly and before he could actually recover from the surprise, she had already prevented him from countering by placing her hand on his wrist and one on his jaw. Her grip was solid - much more than he'd expect from a girl like her, until he remembered the sight of her mostly-bare self - she had muscle.

Then, Setsugie's advice came into play.

The first words that came to mind in Raze's head was 'No' and 'shit', followed by a roll of the eyes. Of course, he didn't actually do either of these because of the situation, but he'd have felt much better if he could. Instead, he took note and thought about the situation. He realized that she must be able to nullify magic or something - the scenario that led to this conclusion was probably very obvious. So, Chidori focused him on something else.....

From the context of her taunts, I think she doesn't know you're a half-breed. That means you have a surprise as well, kay?

Y-yeah but..... she's so close.... and it's really-

Stop. She isn't going to refrain from flaunting herself, so there's no need.

I know but-

I already said 'no buts'. However, she will kill you, and if you slip up and you show the slightest bit of fear or hesitation, she'll use it against you - purposely.

Y-you're right.....

I always am, aren't I?

If Chidori wasn't here, Razeluxe wouldn't be sure what he'd do.... even as much as she teased him, she was the most important person in Raze's life so far, though to say they were a couple wouldn't describe this properly. More like brother and sister. But I digress....

"I'm sorry. But only if you think I was referring to your physical appearance." he stated with an almost emotionless tone, though a small, unhideable amount of nervousness laced his tone - not enough to outright think he was scared, but enough to know something was up... Regardless of Razeluxe's situation, he (Chidori) felt the need to imply cowardness, yet not outright display it, if only to confuse this woman (whose grip he hadn't bothered to break free from, not just yet). Her grip was strong, much too strong for any human to break out of. Raze wasn't human - at least not fully. Although he couldn't outright toss her aside with little to no effort, he was sure he could surprise her with his own strength when the time came.

There was a reason Razeluxe didn't throw the first, official punch of this grapple.

Not because he was scared.

Not because he couldn't.

"Ladie's first" was a motto he lived by, and since he was now reasonably sure he could fight, this was the start.
