Solar Prominence ( Ayumi)

[Bastilla Moretti]

Ayumi gasped as Tetsuya grabbed her and protected her from the sudden flock of arrows. "What!? Tetsuya, stop! You're gonna get hurt again!" She didn't have time to react with a shield, as soon as the arrows had entered air they had hit the ground, and in some cases, a man. "Why did you do that! I could have easily covered us with a shield!" She frowned at him. What had he been thinking? She was a healer. And a protector. All she had to do is create a shield at a moments notice, and neither would be hurt, or atleast only one or two arrows if even!

She glanced at the man that appeared, frowning. 'What a night..' Ayumi thought to herself, letting out a quiet sigh. She eyed his bow a bit, her frown deepening. "You really seem to be low on luck tonight." She mumbled quietly. 'Note, Ayumi, dear. Bring your weapon everywhere. I repeat, everywhere.'

She shook her head somewhat as the two men spoke to one another. She looked up at Tetsuya as he spoke. "No, don't be ignorant, you stand no chance after that. I'll get him gone. You're going to lie down, warm yourself up with my hoodie, and then get comfortable. I'll get him to leave, heal you, and take you some place safe. Okay?" She replied calmly. She moved herself away from him, now that he had loosened his grip on her, and stood up. She slid her hair back into a ponytail, gently fluffing it to make sure it stayed in place.

"Listen, sir, I'm *sure* we can find a mutual foundation here, just don't shoot anymore arrows and we can talk, yes? I don't want a fight, and I am sure you are open to discussing this."

Her eyes filled with the intentions of finding light in a dark abyss. He had to admit that he praised her for having such a mind set such as that. But in this case here it was pointless. Tetsuya could already predict what was going to happen next, its because this type of man infront of them did not care in trading words…but instead exchanging numb steel for blood. And based on his grin proved that he didn’t care much for the pay…he did it for his satisfaction.

Tetsuya couldn’t risk this any longer as he notice Ayumi position herself in harms way and vulnerable to god knows what attacks this man can perform. ” "No, don't be ignorant, you stand no chance after that. I'll get him gone.” her words completely caught him off guard. It wasn’t because she was protective but it was because of how strong her heart was in believing she could. ” "Listen, sir, I'm *sure* we can find a mutual foundation here, just don't shoot anymore arrows and we can talk, yes?” he had no clue to think if she’s lost her mind from the influence of this dying city or if she had a plan. Well whatever she was doing, he seemed to be working….for now. Tetsuya had any doubt in his mind that this guy still wanted to see him lifeless on the cold floors of the church…Suya would place his trust in her only because she saved his life

”Well missy, what foundation you have that will stop me from taking this guy’s head now? Huh!?”

"Well, that's up to you. You let him live, and I give you something in return. Just.. don't cross into unnecessary requests, if you understand what I mean." She slowly paced around the room, glancing around. "I'm sure there is something valid you want that you cannot obtain." She stopped her pacing and turned to him, smoothing out her skirt. "I honestly have no idea if you're a sensible man, but think about it. Blood lust, yes? How would you be satiating the hunger by killing someone who cannot defend themself? Okay, you think you'd win in a fight? Then why not give him a few weeks to heal? Giving him a chance to fight would make the kill so much more worthful, no?"

"Think about it. What are you proving if you took him at a time like this?" She smiled charismatically to the man. 'Please, God, please tell me this is working.' She did her best to hide any fear she had, and it was working rather well. 'Maybe this is working! he hasn't attacked me yet. That's a good sign.' She let out a hopeful sigh as she glanced back at Tetsuya, giving him a "trust me, this'll work" kind of face. 'God, just back off, man..' She thought to herself as she looked back to the man, smiling some more.
