"You're right, but we don't have a lot of time. We only have all of tonight and the early hours before dawn to deal with them before we have to go back."
If only it were a two-day mission, then he could understand dàgē's wish to study them and see their weak points and come up with a strategy on the first day, and do what they could to manage to finish the mission on the second.
With this time constraint of one night, it was going to be a bit different doing the observing in a couple of hours and doing the rest in the time left.
"I think we can only give ourselves a sort of time limit for observation, and then the rest for strategy and attack. So will we stake out an area along the river, dàgē?"
Reply
It was unlikely that an hour or two's worth of observation would net them any new information. Most of the sightings, while brief, had at least given a very basic outline on the creature's behavioral patterns, as much of one as they would have gotten from watching it for a few hours.
"I'd almost forgotten," he admitted after a moment, glancing back toward Prince, "I suppose we'll have to go with Plan B."

Color Prince surprised -- and yet do his damnedest to try not to show it. Yeah, he's a little slow on the uptake for the moment, because he didn't know that they actually even had a secondary plan at all. Or was it something that they'd already talked about and he'd already forgotten?
"Did I miss something, dàgē? Because I don't think I quite understand what you mean, and if I did, would you please explain it to me?"

Possibly not the most inspiring sentence Prince would have expected to hear from Spitfire's mouth.

Oh, but which one first? Two was such a nice number, eating one as it drowned the other...
It was even better that they seemed distracted.
The 'kappa' had grey, slimey scales that hung off its limbs, and matted hair floating around its head like seaweed. Unlike the real kappa, however, it didn't have the bald plate or the beak-like nose. Instead, it had talons and very, very long fangs.

Bleak setting descriptions aside, Spitfire cast his gaze around their surroundings, taking subtle care to keep himself close to Prince. It certainly was an isolated area and Prince had brought up several good points. His gaze drifted away from the water to focus on the man at his side, offering a light smile.
"We'll have to hope we get lucky. Or unlucky, depending on how you view it."
Reply
"I think that getting lucky is just right up my alley, dàgē. I know we'd be lucky if we came across it sooner rather than later, since we'd have the advantage of coming in fresh instead of tired and lethargic."
This was why he liked being partnered up with Spitfire-dàgē, because while he might seem like he's taking it lightly, deep down he knows that he's taking it very, very seriously. Just the words he chose are proof of that.
"And since luck's my ability, I think we should come out of this relatively fine."

If they would not come to it, it would come to them. When it reached the bank, it braced itself on the riverside rocks, and in one explosive jump burst out of the water. It reached for Prince's ankle and yanked, clearly intending to drag the boy into the river with it.
"Soul!" it screamed.

"Dàgē!"
It was all he could say, as he next tried to kick at the bastard that had gotten a hold of him, and that's when he saw what was aiming at: the Kappa. The next thing that escaped out of Prince's lips probably wouldn't have been appropriate due to the cussing, but was probably a rather forgivable act, considering the situation.
"Ugh, I can't believe that this fucking ugly bastard's even trying to get me down there with him!"
Reply
What he hadn't been expecting was the sudden burst of... inappropriate language from Prince's mouth. While Spitfire was far from offended, considering the environment he'd grown up in, hearing Prince saying words like that was a shock. Despite the situation, the sound of Prince erupting into swears was enough to invoke a sharp laughter from Spitfire's mouth even as he quickly changed to his weapon shape.
Hopefully, his flame would be of some help even in this damp situation.

"HUNGRY" it screamed insistently, yanking at the smaller one, yanking to the water. One had already escaped, but this one was going to be its food if it had anything to say about it.

He wanted this thing OFF him, and when he saw how the thing was holding onto him, he did momentarily wonder how in hell he was so strong while looking so weak. This reminded him Kenshin back in Second Life - while the other demons in that forest were gigantic beings that he had managed to kill, Kenshin, their lord, looked like a human and seemed weaker by comparison. Boy was he wrong on that assumption.
Now he was going to begrudgingly treat this bastard to the same amount of respect, strength-wise, and not underestimate it, but that did not mean that he would simply let him have his way.
"THEN STAY HUNGRY AND DIE!!!It was all he could manage to yell as he was feeling the now-strong ( ... )
