"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]

[b]He laughs again[/b] I think we'll get along just fine [b]He walks towards him and pats Red on the back, startling her out of her thoughts[/b]
-
[i] They get to the bar and take a table in the back, Ronin nodding at the bartender and she brings them drinks, three glasses of an orange liquid.[/i] "My personal favorite, my treat. Orange juice and vodka." [i]Red sips hers besides being underage.[/i] "You gonna phase the drink through your mask or something?" [i] Secretly she was hoping he'd take the mask off.[/i]
-
Never tried orange juice and vodka. Always been a whiskey man myself. But ditto to her question. [b]He takes a sip, enjoys it, and takes a long draught[/b]
-
[i] He chuckles and his mask retracts to show a man in his early twenties, medium length brown hair with a single lock falling in his face. He possesses piercing, icy blue eyes that seem to stare through whatever he looks at; eyes that seem like they've seen way too much. Nobody hears Red gasp a slight bit.[/i] "As great as you'd hoped?" [i] He says with a smile, sipping his drink.[/i]
-
Handsome devil. I can see why Red admires you. [b]He smirks and has another sip of his drink[/b]
-
"She admires me for other reasons." [i]Red rolls her eyes, having regained her attitude, although she's still impressed.[/i]
-
So how long you planning on staying here?
-
"Depends." [i] He sips his drink.[/i] [i]Red interjects;[/i] "Blackbeard, you too?" [i]Ronin chuckles at her sudden question.[/i] "Yes." [i] Blackbeard?... The pirate?[/i]
-
Blackbeard?
-
"They didn't teach you history in school?"
-
[b]He chuckles[/b] They did, at least what time I spent in school, my question was what is the significance here?
-
"I'm the reason he left the world in 1718."
-
Oh. Don't think that was in the textbook.
-
[i] He grins, showing a perfect set of white teeth. Red chimes in;[/i] "He made sure of that."
-
[b]He nods towards Red[/b] You still never told me how or why [i]you're[/i] here. And then this guy shows up and answers basically any reasonable question. Come on now.
-
[i]Ronin chuckles, and Red flips him off before looking at Nobody.[/i] "I was betrayed by someone I trusted. She sold me out, had me tied up, and tortured. 5 broken ribs, 4 fingers broken, fractured face, broken arm."
-
And then just tossed you out for dead?
-
"No, I escaped and tried to kill her."
-
I take it that I found you in the aftermath of that?
-
"Yeah, turns out the bitch could rip apart space and time." [i]Lance straightens up at that.[/i] "What was her name?" Red: "I've always called her Jinx." [i] Lance nods and sips his drink.[/i]
-
Is that why you hate people so much?
-
"No, not why dumbass." [i] Ronin chuckles.[/i] "I'm surprised you don't know more about your girlfriend." [i]Red gives him a death stare.[/i]
-
[b]Nobody turns bright red and downs the rest of his drink[/b]
-
[i] He smiles and lays a hand on the hilts of his swords.[/i] Red: "So, gonna tell me about the worlds three most powerful swords? Because I know next to nothing about them." Ronin: "and we're gonna keep it like that. Rain is a nice Ninjato. Too short for me though."
