Ember Wolfe & Shrade
Ember had tried to stay still during the night, but she could not resist the need to move and just wandered the area. Wandering wasn't bad, but she knew that she needed sleep as she's gone days without it and despite being a Neco, she could not live without sleep. She pondered this as she made her way back to Ace's cabin just when the sun began baking her. "I don't need sleep and this at the moment." She spoke out loud as she shrugged out of her leather jacket and huffed her way toward the door of Ace's cabinet.
The sound of a blade shearing through empty space filled her ears as she threw her head back, going limbo style she slid under the katana blade above her and got back into her feet. She whipped around with a backward roundhouse kick aimed at where her attacker's face would most likely be, but... surprisingly someone grabbed her leg instead and literally threw her aside. She hit the ground roughly and rolled several times before she got up to face her attacker. "Okay, Jackas-" She stopped talking, her eyes going wide as she saw who appeared before her.
Violet long hair. Seductive Amethyst eyes. A black blue scarf wrapped loosely around his throat. A black coat, and black slacks. "Shrade?" A quizzical expression written on her face she questioned, "What are you doing here?"
Shrade arched a cool eyebrow before sheathing his katana and allowing a small smile to touch his lips before answering with a lie, "I stumbled upon this cabin thinking it was abandoned, and instead, appear to have found you. How unexpected."
Ember narrowed her eyes at the lie but didn't question any further, instead a practice smile fell upon her lips as she held out her right arm, her hand was a fist as Shrade's left arm came out and his forearm touched hers. Their arms made an X shape for a second before they pulled back. "So... What are you doing here, She-Wolf?" Ember ducked her head at the nickname before motioning to the cabin, "I've got friends inside."
The violet haired man smiled teasingly, "You actually have friends, oh my. May I greet them?" He watched his former pupil nod and walk into the house. He followed her inside and stopped to see a man or at least what looked to be a man looking at a hologram of the area. Shrade didn't say anything, but kept silent and still as he watched Ember move away from him and toward a door.
Ember's mood was.. not exactly neutral but more lifted, more spirited as she walked into Ace's room to find... She smiled softly before clearing her throat and speaking, "Ace, did you even sleep at all last night?" She displayed mock disapproval before walking back out of the room to Shrade's side where she promptly stood.
Shrade glanced down at Ember before moving away and over toward a table where he sat and threw his boots onto the table, he leaned back as he sent a playful smile toward Ember as he threw a deck of cards onto the table.
Ember scowled at what Shrade did before copying his actions and asked, "What game?" "I don't know; guess." She glared at him and murmured a curse before picking out some cards. The cards held pictures of gruesome carcasses, all with a symbol of an element at the top right corner. She threw a card that had the skeleton of what looked to be an angel with a ball of fire at the top right corner on the table. Shrade threw a different card atop hers and said, "Go fish." The card had the drawing of a skeleton of a fish on it with no element symbol. Ember snarled, "You jackass!" She got to her feet with a fist pulled back. Shrade laughed at her reaction and pulled his hands up, "Calm down, She-Wolf, It was a joke!"
