[thanks aaron x2...

Anyway, V'rhas doesn't seem to mind and his gaze follows Aaron's. The knights flinch away from his gaze.]

I didn't hurt them. I certainly wouldn't have done such a thing... intentionally, at least.

[imperiosity]

[Well, seeing that, maybe the knights are just really jumpy after... whatever happened to them. Also having a bunch of random people come out of nowhere would be pretty weird, in fairness.]

Sounds pretty shady when tack that on at the end, y'know.

[But oh well, that's probably not the point here.]

Anyway, you wanna fill me in on why you were waiting for us?

[bloodweapon]

Sure, I can do that. Though I imagine most of you have figured it out by now, haven't you?

[V'rhas's eyes flash yellow - not the usual light gold that his eyes share with Fray's, but a bright, piercing glow that looks unsettling when it isn't the familiar red.]

I am a shadow... The true self. This is my domain. I will give you one chance to leave and never look back. It would be best for everyone for you to take that opportunity and leave "Fray" behind.

( something in that just... makes her angry. )

... Just as my anger, my fear and my loneliness became their own person, so has Fray. I wouldn't give up on him just as much as I wouldn't give up on Kaito, Len and Rin.

[bloodweapon]

...Fascinating.

[Strangely, something in that tone sounds much more Fray than V'rhas. It's gone in an instant, though.]

Even if it means coming to blows?

[beathollow]

I am not the fighter you need to worry about.

( but she'll stand with the rest regardless. this is her duty as a healer, after all. )</small.

Duly noted. Then we'll do this the hard way.

[He drops into a battle stance, preparing for the inevitable confrontation. Please wait for the appropriate top level!]

[imperiosity]

[Okay, see, now this is what he was waiting for. He draws his swords and shifts on his feet so he's ready to move into action at any time.]

Hah. If you're supposed to be a part of that guy, then you oughta know by now that's not how we do things around here. So come on, let's get this show on the road already!

[bloodweapon]

[See, Aaron gets it. It gets a wry smile from V'rhas who also drops into a battle stance, greatsword at the ready.]

I assumed this would be your answer, but I had to offer anyway. Give me everything you have!

[Please wait for the appropriate top level to go up for the fight!]
