She's seen weirder. )
Argilla was quite unwilling to think that someone who looked as inhuman as this guy did couldn't fight. Everyone in the Junkyard could fight, but it didn't really occur to her that people didn't fight once in a while. She rose to her feet as quickly as her tired body would allow, and quickly raised an arm to the sky again.
This time, a patch of ground between herself and the approaching enemy began to glow, and just as it was about to step there, it exploded, causing the creature to stumble. As if that wasn't good enough, multiple magically-solidified chunks of sand shot from the ground where they once sat, dealing some painful looking blows to the creature's arms and face. It bled slightly from the skin around its face, and as it righted itself, it decided to try something else.
The creature reached down into the sand, as if trying to pull up a rock to throw at the pair. Sand, however, isn't something that works like that very often, so it simply slipped through the beast's fingers. Argilla was back on her knees at this point, and was panting with such exhaustion that casting another spell was rather unlikely. One of her arms, however, loosened itself and slipped from her shoulder like a rope. If she needed to, she could defend herself with her own two hands, but Argilla didn't really want it to come to that, so...
"Do something!"
She sighed as she tensed up her body, ready to spring away the moment the beast got close. And since it couldn't throw anything at either of them, it was returning to its lumbering, ape-like approach rather quickly.

So if he defeated the giant beast that was approaching that would mean he ... would be helping. He shouldered the giant sword, looking bored but with a side of curiosity that still remained.
"Why should I? Fix yer own damned problems."
Though the giant beast looked like a good fight... Damn, could he really leave it alone without cutting it down?

As her mind tried to tell her to cast another spell, her body told her quite the opposite, exhaustion overcoming her irritation for long enough to make her realize that something was really off, and it would be best to just play it safe.
So, with a whip-like wave of her arm, her hand and a good amount of the rest of her arm shot out, flying right into the thing's face. It hit with a surprisingly large impact, and the creature fell to the ground after a final pause. Argilla couldn't quite comprehend how she stopped the thing dead in its tracks, but didn't really decide to question it. Maybe the hit smacked something just behind the face and that somehow finished it off.
"So why didn't you do anything?"
Though she asked a question she would have liked to know the answer to, Argilla wasn't doing much to show that. She was already walking towards the body of the beast, expecting the other man to be following, and not even looking back to see if he actually was. That was how things worked with demons, after all. They just kill and eat each other. At least this one seemed less intelligent than anything she'd ever seen...

The hollow eyed the monster that she brought down, unsure if it was dead but made no move to warn her. The monsters were pretty tough lately and if it wasn't dead and jumped to attack her it would prove entertaining.
"'the fuck are ya?"
He had to know because... what the fuck. Seriously.

Argilla kept walking, dismissing the man's confusion for a moment as she went to work on the body. A few pulling motions from her right hand led to her removing a few sizable chunks of meat from the monster's underused legs. It would be much easier than trying to get something off of those arms, after all. So, she just began going to town on those legs, pretty much ripping the meat off and... shoving it into her breasts... yeah.
Hopefully this guy couldn't see her doing that, because he'd just get more confused.

And hey. HEY! No eating in front of him; it's rude. If he didn't get to eat souls then Argilla didn't get to eat... monster. Whatever the hell she was eating.
He walked over to the other while she was busy feeding and kicked her in the back. He hadn't eaten in months so he was going to prevent her from enjoying that luxury while he was around.

"What was that for?" she said, her volume just below a shout. If she wasn't already quite weakened, then she would have thought about retaliating. Sadly, that wasn't quite in the cards right now. Instead, she just stood up, brushing any little bits of food or whatever from her mouths.
"After all the fighting we did, you're telling me that this isn't Nirvana? This isn't the paradise that so many people died for?" Though you couldn't tell by looking at her, her voice sounded definitely sad.

He pointed at Argilla's chest with the teeth; he didn't even know what was going on there. For all he knew, monster or human, women didn't have breasts that... had teeth. Or talked. In fact he didn't know what the hell they were for anyway.
The hollow had no shame whatsoever when he actually poked at them.

She was quiet, speaking mostly to herself, barely above her breath. It was possible that this man didn't know it was Nirvana, and she wanted to cling to that possibility for as long as she could. But Argilla wasn't stupid, she knew that if she'd made it to Nirvana, the rest of the Embryon would be right there with her. And they weren't. If it turned out that she wasn't in Nirvana, why wasn't she there? Was it because she was against devouring people, because she'd allegedly "died", or was it because of something else?
Argilla was about to continue this train of thought when there was a white finger poking at her breast. Or was it her mouth. That general area. She flinched slightly, pulling her upper body back a bit. It wasn't like people poked her there very often! The ones that weren't used to it probably just stayed away, but thinking about it, she did realize how someone could be caught off guard.
"Oh, that..." she said, a slightly sarcastic, annoyed chuckle coming soon after. "I'm a demon, a monster, can't you see? Cursed to devour my enemies or I become a mindless killing machine like that thing." She pointed to the corpse with its partially-meatless legs.
"Thankfully, I'm not cursed to stay in this form." She placed a hand to her chest, and a soft light enveloped her body for a brief moment. When it subsided, a normal human woman stood in its place. "I'm just not able to defend myself as well like this." While she was still somewhat hungry, she could wait a while, she was sure of it.

His tone was flat; he couldn't understand the fascination with that. He vaguely remembered talking to some 'computer program' that willingly put itself in a human body to communicate and while the hollow's form was influenced by Ichigo... he still thought the idea of wanting to look human ridiculous. Who would want to do that?

Argilla sighed, crossing her arms with an uncomfortable look on her face. It was depressing that the guy thought that her original form was that monster, but it was what he saw first. She couldn't blame him for that, right? She pointed a hand towards his sword, giving it a slightly confused eye.
"What about you?"

A human with a curse sounded boring but he made a mental note about what Agilla said. If she didn't devour monsters or demons she'd become a mindless killing machine. That would be entertaining if she went insane on the town when the hollow was bored. All he'd have to do was to stop her from eating any of the fog creatures.

Argilla simply crossed her arms, showing a bit of visible irritation. It wasn't exactly fair for her to go on and on about herself like that, and him say nothing at all. But what was she going to do, force an answer out of him with violence? It sounded like something Heat would do, which made it quite unappealing.
"Are there people around anywhere?"

No longer interested with the 'demon' and the monster taken down the hollow turned and started walking back the way he came. He didn't have to be helpful if no one else was around; it wasn't his responsibility. Let someone else do it.

And then she started walking.
