"H-Hello?!" she called out once more, eyes on the flickering flames between trees. "Is anybody there?!"

"Who's asking?" Finding it more trouble than he wanted--Kouma approached the voice--the last of his flames snuffed out by the fall of his feet. "You shouldn't be out here."

It hadn't taken her long to see that she was dealing with matters greater than she. Magic. Powers. What have you. Some people here were dealing with better hands than she, but that didn't mean she couldn't bluff. No, that was all part of the game was the bluff and bluster.
The scene in front of her wasn't a bluff however, hence her staying safely in the trees for the time being. Scouting. Reconnaissance. And so far it was proving highly valuable.

Selina had never head a deer cry out before, as she hadn't exactly been one to take pleasure hikes. But that sound would be something that she was sure would stay with her for a while. Those few seconds before he had crushed its neck had been haunting.
There wasn't much to say to him, nor did she exactly feel she could talk to him just yet. It was apparent that he had been hunting, and she had no plan to add herself to that list--currently or ever.
Mentally adding him to her list of 'dangerous people,' Selina slipped away from the carnage in front of her.

It was preferable, in his eyes, to avoid contact with others in moments such as that. The one leaving him--she must have noticed that he was not one for conversation or must have been outright terrified. Kouma sat in the ashen valley he created with the deer's corpse, reflecting on it. Though it was an old situation, Kouma wasn't used to assuming that others had to fear him overtly.

Mankind was not alone in its damning curiosity. But mankind did not have the impulse to see if there would be a territorial dispute in such a manner.
Thus, the thin purple-haired demon girl in a school uniform, winter coat, and leggings walked quietly through the snow and closer to the origin of the feeling that reverberated throughout her body.

He had long since snuffed out the flames as he began walking towards the gap that separated Muir from Ithir. Dragging the carcass of his 'victim' in his hand, Kouma kept his gaze on the snow. He regretted his desire for venison. It would have been better to kill something in a place that would leave less trace of his activity--and of his anger.

She had been so caught up in the coincidental moment of spying that she had completely failed to tell or describe the emotion it invoked within her very core. Her brain, after all, had taken her to this path, into witnessing the spectacle of flame and brutal murder, out of instinct. So it was likely natural that she couldn't quite place the finger on the amount of joy she was beholding.
Instead, her thoughts were patting themselves on the back, assured that this gentleman--tall, quiet, and obviously deadly, had unintentionally let her in on his secret. He was a demon, and there was no way for him to hide it from Potamos.
A light skip, contrasting every single movement she had seen Kouma make, and the girl was on her way through the scar in the winter scape. Her every ounce of body language sang joy of finding an old friend.
"That was amazing y'know!"
Or a new victim.

No--to be courageous implied that one was afraid. The woman he watched approach looked at him with a measure of affection and thanks. She was everything but terrified of whatever she saw.
"Why do you think it is?"
