[Like a falling star plummeting from the heavens and exploding in sparks as it makes contact with Paine's blade, Cid had lunged from the rooftops, locked his spear with her faulty weapon, and lifted up to sneer a prideful grin at her, the likes that could make someone feel very, very small.]
Hey bitch! Ya like pick'n on lil pussy-cats do ya? We'll try harp'n on a dragon!
[He shoved her back with a heavy swing of the thick rod and snapped the spear-end down, as he parted those grasshopper legs, ready to spring into action.]

[Attacks crazily headlong, sword building with dark energy, intent of giving him a dose of hurting]

((Backing up against the fountain, he wraps a protective arm around his still-sore ribs and watches, looking for all the world like a cornered animal, ready to flee at a moment's notice.))

[He parried the blows with swift and agile arches, allowing the razors to cut and cleave against the flat of the spear, all the while bouncing back and bouncing back, like his heels were on springs.]
Careful now, Elvira! Ya might tire yerself out! Why don't you get yer skinny ass back to the kitchen and make me some goddamn tea!
[She was wild, but that was just the sorta women he liked. Liked to lay the smack down on, that is! He let her have her fun beating away at his beloved Venus Gospel, before he'd gotten bored with it and leapt back towards the fountain, only to bend his knees and bound high into the hair, his coat flailing behind him, tumbling at the height of his jump, he dropped like a meteor, gathering up blue-hot energies in his decent, till the tip of the spear rammed itself straight for her chest-plate!]

[Noticing Cid's descent, aiming at her chest, she rolled aside at a split second. She then jumped high and throws her gathered demi ball at the area where Cid is. The Demi ball, quickly mowing towards Cid. She lands a few meters away from Cid.]
No!I... Shoudn't be doung this!
[She drops her battle stance and clutches her forehead with her left hand and staggers back, trying to fight the dark urges within her. She seems paralyzed.]

You thought you could handle the temptation of this thirst.
[Shifting the blade handle in her right hand her boots skidded to a halt between Cid and Paine. The jitte was swung up in front in an uppercut fashion, slicing through the demi ball that was aimed at Cid. The split energy died past her on either side with a linger grin on her face. Thrusting the other blade forward, it had been too quick to blocked; impaling Paine through the chest the blade tip could be seen sticking out through the woman's back.]
Idiots like you should not be allowed to remain. Your mistakes are costly and waste too much time.
[Pulling the jitte back without warning, Kayura leaned forward so that their faces were just inches apart. Lips parting with a cruel chuckle the other jitte rammed through the ( ... )

.... it's not real, none of this is real-
[He sees Kayura launch her devastating blow and hides his head, hugging his knees to his chest. Thing are going much too fast for him to deal with, especially so soon after his rescue.]

[Cid was stunned by the speed of the woman before him. The disperse of energies, the flash of steel, the splash of blood at such close range sprinkled just fairly across his bristled cheek. He gawked as it all seemed to unfold in slow motion as the woman withdrew her blade, and sky-blue eyes wide in shock he snapped to his senses. He was there for a reason! A quick glance over his shoulder confirmed what he'd come for.]
Oh @#$% it all, Reeve.. Reeve!
[Dashing to the quivering man's side, he dropped his spear against the fountain and with gloved hands grasped his shoulders and gave him a shake for good measure.]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, c'mon now. It's cool it's all cool, you're alright I swear. Got'it all covered.

... he tried that, he tried that, it didn't... it....
[He glanced up, the light of recognition finally showing in his eyes, and tapped Cid's cheek.]
... you've... got blood on you.

That was the highlight of my day.

What? Oh, yeah, yeah I'm OK. Hell it's not even mine.
[He sniggered a bit smearing the blood off with the back of his hand. A flash of an assuring grin was set to put Reeve's mind at ease as he patted his shoulder.]
Sit tight for a sec, a'right? Got somethin I need to take care of..
[Giving the shaken man one last squeeze, he pulled back and skid his boots on the cobble stone as he turned and strutted towards the limp body. Yup, dead as a doornail. A light jab of his toe to the scantly clad goth-lady was enough to tell him that. Weird, she looked kinna like Vincent, only more malnourished and hardly the right breast-size. A flash of fire across his eyes, he sparked up a cigarette and breathed in the sweet death before calling out to the retreating woman ( ... )

My, my, aren't you the gentleman?
[Brushing the strands off from her cheek, tucking them behind her ear, the woman turned around to face Cid though not approaching the two men yet. She first played the card of standing her card.]

.... Kayura.
[He couldn't bring it in him to even try to smile, instead looking at her thoughtfully- memories of hearing her screaming for mercy echoing in his mind. Memories which helped him stop thinking about his own screams....]
I know... you didn't do it for my sake, but... thank you.

[It was probably better for the both of them that Cid hadn't a real clue who this woman was. The name Kayura was familiar, and so was the face with some stupid bitch who was sitting on a witness bench spouting nonsensical bullshit. But as he recalled now, she was just some babe who could likely kick his ass. And that was hot. A lady who could take care of herself was something Cid found admirable. He'd had more than his fair share of pink princesses getting stuck in other castles for him to choke down.]
Look if you don't mind it I'd rather pay my respects inside before anymore psychos come outta the woodwork.
Hell, since you already seem acquainted with my pal, Reeve, why don't you come back with us to a place a bit more.. ah.. hospitable, yeah, an I'll make ya some tea too!
