Naoto (Open!)

[strayblade]

[Robots. The word made Naoto think a little bit of the dog soldiers, with their metal masks covering their faces and non-human movements.

...But what she sees entering the Arena is nothing like that.

Her eyes widen and she resists the urge to cover her ears at their initial clash. But the crowd seems to be enjoying it.

More importantly, no one will die today.]

[Deneve doesn't particularly care for the crowd, especially not the crass noise of people shouting and screaming. It grates on her nerves pretty badly but she doesn't show it, her face unreadable and her silver eyes quick to catch everything.

She catches stillness as well as motion. Naoto stands out by being one who isn't shouting and crowing. Deneve approaches and remembers her from that festival some time ago.]

Enjoying the fight?

[She sounds casual, but her eyes say something else. They're sharp and critical and they watch every movement of the metal fighters with cold assessment.]

[strayblade]

[She blinked before looking away from the display, focusing more on the other woman who'd joined her.]

Oh. It's you.

[The one with the swords. Naoto remembers as well.]

Not really. I'm not sure I get the point....

[The point of fighting. The point of robots fighting. The crowd roars again.]

It seems I'm in the minority.

[twoswordjuniper]

[She keeps her eyes on the battle, but she can see Naoto in her peripheral vision.]

I don't understand the excitement either. And the noise seems excessive.

[As if on cue, the crowd screams. Deneve doesn't flinch, but she does look slightly more annoyed.]

[strayblade]

You don't seem the type to come to these kind of things.

[It was part question and part statement. The same could be said of Naoto, really.]

A lot of people where I'm from would probably enjoy this sort of thing. I guess I'm a strange one.

[twoswordjuniper]

I'm not here for the spectacle. I've seen plenty of fighting. I've never really seen a robot before. Call it curiosity.

[She raises one eyebrow in Naoto's direction.]

Why did you come if you knew you wouldn't enjoy it?

[strayblade]

I'm here--

[Naoto pauses, thinking about her reason before closing her eyes with a sigh.]

I thought someone else might be here. Someone I plan on keeping an eye on. We're from the same place, and though I'm not responsible for him in the least...

[She trails off long enough to regain her composure.]

I don't want him to make trouble.
