[Action - September 9th]

[eyesofpity]

[So coincidentally Leonhardt happens to be returning from his trip to the Battle Dome earlier as Jacqli is checking out the floor 4 of CH3 which is where he lives. His door is quite locked, however.

He knows she is most definitely not the other person who seems to live on this floor besides him and Joshua and she is definitely not familiar and the way she is acting is very suspicious.

While she is trying out one of the doors he summons up one of his shadows to be standing right behind her. She won't be able to hear a thing, but if she steps backwards or turns around, she will most definitely see what appears to be a person and most definitely looks not pleased.]

[hackedcode]

[Right after jiggling the handle of the door, Jacqli shrugs, figuring this one is occupied as well. However, her expression changes when she turns around to see someone (or at least the "shadow" of someone) she didn't even hear walk up to her. The surprise almost immediately turns to anger, though.]

What are you standing behind me for? Do you have a problem?

[eyesofpity]

[Oh, her anger doesn't bother him. He was suspecting something may happen which is why he's staying elsewhere for now.]

Is there some particular reason why you were trying to get into that apartment?

[hackedcode]

I was trying to see whether it was empty or not. I don't see how that should matter at all to you.

[eyesofpity]

It matters because I happen to be the occupant.

[hackedcode]

......

[... Well, that would make it matter to him, wouldn't it.]

Whatever. It doesn't matter, anyway. I told you my reason, so back off and let me go about my business.

[eyesofpity]

You can go about your business in another building. [And the tone he's using is definitely not in the least bit friendly.]

[hackedcode]

[She's definitely picking up on that, but she also doesn't care too much. She just stares right back at him, coldly.]

I'll go about it wherever I want.

[eyesofpity]

[And a cold stare back doesn't bother him one bit.]

Then I will make it easy for you to finish your business here. All the rooms are taken.

[hackedcode]

Thanks, but I think I'll check that for myself.

[With that, she makes an attempt to push past him.]

[eyesofpity]

[Oh, he's not letting her by, though she can likely attempt to step around him. No way is he letting some very suspicious seeming woman who may well be up to something else. Paranoid much? Just a little bit, and a little over protective of the boy who lives in the room next to him.]

I did not exactly offer you an option to remain here.

[hackedcode]

I wasn't looking for one from you. [What was this person, some sort of self-proclaimed landlord? Her building certainly didn't have one.] Now, either you get out of my way, or I'll get you out of my way.

[eyesofpity]

[And this one doesn't either, but there's a damn good reason why he moved in next door to his little brother, and that was to keep him safe as he promised to.

But her threat is obvious enough. His left hand quickly moves to the hilt of his sword.] If you will leave then I will not be forced to do you any harm when you attack me.

[hackedcode]

[---A sword. Normally, she'd call ELMA, her "guard dog", but she hasn't seen it around just yet. If he really is willing to attack her, shoving him aside probably wouldn't be a good idea. Not just that, this guy is way too close range to use song magic on. She may be a very, very powerful being, but she certainly isn't stupid.

... Sheesh. She sure is glad she already has her own place.

Regardless, since she knows she can't win, she looks away for a few moments extremely frustrated at this situation ... then looks back at him with a smirk.]

... Fine. I'll leave. I know better than to provoke someone so willing to strike down a woman.

[eyesofpity]

I merely see no reason to go easy on you just because you are a woman.

[But he will be polite and since she said she would leave, he will take her at her word and step aside enough to let her pass.

But he will be keeping an eye out to make sure she does leave. If she does, she will also see him coming up the stairs towards the same floor, a smirk on his face also.]

[hackedcode]

[She does keep to her word and leave -- she doesn't want to count any apartment here as worth using as a secondary if some guy like this lived in the building -- but as she goes down the stairs and sees him coming up them ...

... she stops.

A twin? No. He's smirking. There's something not right here.

........

Whatever the situation is, she doesn't care. She's incredibly angry with this guy now. So, instead of giving any sort of obvious reaction to this turn of events, she simply continues on to the exit.

For his sake, she hopes she doesn't see him again -- or at the very least, not for a while. She may be tempted to attack him, especially if he does something like this to her again. The fact that she believes he may be a human despite this possible trick he pulled on her certainly doesn't help matters, either.]
