[i] He seems to have lost interest in Nobody and walks circles around Red, with the grace of a panther, his stature predatory.[/i] "I've heard a few things about you Red." [i] She stands still, her grey eyes following his movements but her body paralyzed.[/i]

-
Do something, do something... [b]He mutters to himself and wracks his brain trying to think of something[/b]
-
"A prodigy people call you." [i] He continues to walk around her, dragging a finger across her back along her shoulders, and Red's skin responds as it was touched by a live wire, the muscles going taut and her not moving.[/i]
-
Come on Red, don't just stand there... [b]He pushes with everything he has in his head, hoping he'll get through to her somehow[/b]
-
[i] She seems paralyzed, Ronin's presence seeming to numb her. Now that Nobody thinks about it, he feels it too. Like the air is getting colder, and the air is getting thinner, like they're high in the atmosphere. [/i] [spoiler]he can step in or something, try to be a good friend, Ronin won't kill him haha.[/spoiler]
-
Hey, you gonna answer my question? Or just leave me here to watch you two get intimate? [spoiler]Wasn't sure if I was going to end up watching a sword fight[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]nah. Red is good, but Ronin is a million years beyond her. She's right to be terrified and paralyzed. This guys reputation proceeds him.[/spoiler] [i] Ronin stops and turns to him.[/i] "Why I'm here? I got bored."
-
Then what's your plan? I don't think you came here for a drink and some poker. [spoiler]OH. Great.[/spoiler]
-
"No, I've got a plan. One of which doesn't concern you."
-
I'm on the ship aren't I? I'm a part of this team aren't I? Then it does concern me.
-
"Who said I was a part of the FN?"
-
That wasn't said, and you certainly don't like it. But I am. And someone of your caliber being bored in a place like this makes me worry slightly. [spoiler]I'm sorry, I'm really tired, I'm going to sleep. G'night.[/spoiler]
-
"Good." [i] He says, you can practically hear the smirk in his tone.[/i] [spoiler]no problem dude. Just reply to this when you can; goodnight.[/spoiler]
-
Tch. Ya know what I hate? People that are overconfident and arrogant, and think that they can do whatever the hell they want. [b]He scowls[/b]
-
"Kid, I'm not arrogant. If I was arrogant, I'd tell you that id cut you down right now."
-
Oh? So then what's stopping you? [b]He seems genuinely curious[/b]
-
"Because you haven't drawn that shotgun of yours."
-
[b]Nobody grins [/b] If I fought you, I wouldn't use the shotgun. You would move too quickly. Don't forget where my other hand is.
-
"Frankly, I don't care." [i] Red shivers again.[/i]
-
[b]He somehow managed to grin even more broadly, uncannily[/b] You should. Everybody has that ace in the hole. You said you'd answer my questions. What's your ace? What's your unbeatable move?
-
"No ones ever seen that kid, and you aren't going to be the first."
-
First time for everything right? [b]He drops his hand off the shotgun, and stands up straight, still with his left hand in his bag[/b] What are you doing on this ship?
-
"I was bored. Thought the place was interesting, thought maybe id meet some new people."
-
[b]He looks dumbfounded[/b]
-
"I answer your question and then you look like you don't speak English."
-
[b]His left hand leaves his bag, and goes up to scratch his head[/b] I... Huh... You mean you're just passing through? You're just kinda here?
