and prove us his grace, protect us from his and our enemies.
May he spread his protective wings over us and
teach what is to teach and watch over our ways.Boriane prayed silently on the way to the meeting point. She was going to meet a demon and rather arrogant one, as far as she could assess the person after their conversation in the journal. Normally she wouldn't voluntarily meet a demon, but she wanted to know the one who tried to threaten whole Manhattan and she was also interested in testing skills ( ... )

What surprises him is that pitch black skin he can make from under the hood and those unnatural eyes. The only creatures he had ever seen bearing coloring like her were demons like himself. How strange that she would hunt them, but it only serves to stoke his interest further. She wasn't human, that much was obvious, and for the moment, that was enough to keep him polite.
"Vergil," he replies, returning the bow just slightly. "Certainly a pleasure, Boriane."

Boriane gestured towards a side street. "A few blocks form here is the museum where I've found my sword. It won't take long to get there, but we should go instantly, I've seen a couple of crabs on my way here." He had no discernible weapon -which didn't mean anything, her weapon was well hidden- but she hoped he wasn't so asinine coming here unarmed.
Once setting off she asked "Tell me about your world, Vergil." The high priestess wasn't sure if he would do.

He lets his eyes follow the motion before nodding. "Then we'll move quickly." There's a noticeable lack of worry or concern at the mention the crabs, but he was confident even without an obvious weapon. He was a half-demon and that meant he was never truly unarmed.
"What do you want to know?" He doesn't sound particularly interested in conversation, but at least he's still making the offer to indulge in it. It's more than most people would get from him.

His voice betrayed he wasn't really interested to talk to her, but he did and she wondered whether he would do this to other people, too. "Well, the demons in my world look different. You're a 'human' demon -admittedly not the first one I've met here- and I'd like to know how your world looks like and if there are other demons who life more or less peacefully together." Boriane walked beside him and seemed to turn right and left at random, but this was far from the case.

He scoffs, raising a hand and forcing it to start devil-triggering, bright blue veins creeping down his hand first, followed by blue scales that pattern down elongating fingers, long claws stretching from the tips. He's surprised that such a simple move seems to be... almost difficult. He hadn't actually done anything to realize his power been limited here. "It's for camouflage, you could say."
He nearly misses it but follows her when she turns. He honestly has no idea where he is so all he can do is rely on her.

The high priestess looked around to find more useful things, but nothing caught her eye and she returned to the meeting point to wait for Vergil.

Holding her new sword underhand the blade behind her, she returned his nod. "My pleasure, Vergil. What do you think about a little warm up in the entrance hall? Only to compare our sword skills. I think we should leave our special abilities to the playground at the NYU. If you don't mind to keep your human shape." The high priestess knew she would possibly offend him with her last sentence, but it would make the fight more interesting.

He smirks, sliding his thumb up the sheath of the katana to press against the guard, unsheathing the blade only barely enough to reveal the blade. "Consider your subtle challenge accepted. I believe a warm-up could be... enjoyable."

Boriane nodded and preceded to the entrance hall considering if she should fight with both swords. She decided to leave it with one.
Reaching the hall she turned to Vergil. The chance of a challenging fight let her fighting spirit completely wake up and it seemed her eyes started to blaze. Changing her grip around the hilt she brought her sword in front of her with a flowing movement. "Let's fight until one of us draws the first blood." Boriane was ready, she waited just for his agreement or his attack.
