The Lady Arrives...

[dame_ohne_gnade]

[There is a dark-haired young woman walking carefully through town, taking note of her surroundings and seeming more and more frustrated as she does so. She wears a  black dress and long black cloak, whose hood she is pulling up over her head in an effort to conceal her horns]

Hm. So it is a human town... But the woods do not usually lead this way.

Comments

[dustere_nacht]

[ Nacht (in his human guise) pauses mid-step when he spots her, crimson eyes narrowing slightly.

For the moment, he says nothing to her plea, and studies her silently. Was it a trick of the eyes, or did she sort of resemble that female knight? ]

[dame_ohne_gnade]

[she narrows her eyes when she spots him] You! I should have known...

[dustere_nacht]

[ He glowers back at her, arms crossing in a haughty manner.

It was the knight, wasn't it. Why in the world was she dressed like that? ]

Hmph. What a surprise. Out and about instead of being busy guarding, are you?

[dame_ohne_gnade]

[glaring at him] What are you talking about? You're the one who brought me here, aren't you, brother? Did you think it would be funny, leaving me at the mercy of humans like this?

[dustere_nacht]

[ His face twists in disgust. ]

Brother!? ...Goddammit, she must be a double. I'm getting careless. ...Apparently you've mistaken me for someone else.

[ Though he can't help but be intrigued by her mention of being left at the mercy of 'humans'. ...Did that mean this Rue wasn't one? ]

[dame_ohne_gnade]

[still glaring] What? Don't try to play dumb, Fakir. Especially when your disguise is as shoddy as that.

[dustere_nacht]

[ He raises an eyebrow. This was actually a bit amusing to be on the other end of the confusions that came with arriving to this place. Perhaps he would learn something interesting. ]

Disguise?

[dame_ohne_gnade]

[impatiently] Yes, your disguise. Your lack of horns. There's no point in trying fool me, brother. I'm well accustomed to you by now.

[dustere_nacht]

[ Ironic that he was in disguise, he thought, but not for what she seemed to believe. Nonetheless, he sends her a cool glance, red eyes hiding a note of bemusement. ]

Is that so. Well, being taken to this place seems to have done something to my memory. Why don't you refresh it? This could be useful information, after all.

[dame_ohne_gnade]

[she sighs in frustrastion, and, after glancing back to make sure there are no humans about, she takes off her hood, revealing her horns] Ordinarily, you have horns, like these. I am your sister, and I am getting very tired of your game.

[dustere_nacht]

[ His eyes widen when they land on her horns. Interesting, indeed. Just what was she?

Crossing his arms, Nacht feigns bewilderment to mask his growing curiosity. ]

Really. That's odd, seeing as I don't have those horns. Where do 'we' come from?

[dame_ohne_gnade]

We come from the Darkness. Where else would we be from?

[dustere_nacht]

The darkness? Odd... that sounds almost similar to ravens, in a way. I see.

[ He scrutinizes her wordlessly again, almost curious as to what a double of his from this world would be like. There were far too many smiling idiots and do-gooders as far as he was concerned.

After a moment, he speaks again. ]

These beings of darkness with horns... is that all there is in our world?

[dame_ohne_gnade]

[snorting in anger] Fakir, I am tired of this. You know as well as I do that we are far from the only ones in our world, you know that we are vastly outnumbered by humans, and nearly outnumbered by unicorns.

[dustere_nacht]

[ ...Unicorns? Now that was new. He'd have to keep an eye out for these 'darkness' and 'unicorns'. They sounded as though they could potentially be a force to be reckoned with.

Nonetheless, he certainly extracted about as much as he thought he would get out of this woman. Nacht nearly cracks something reminiscent of a smirk back at her. ]

I'm really not the Fakir you claim I am. You've come to another dimension, where worlds collide. Get used to seeing doubles of everyone that you know.

[dame_ohne_gnade]

[she glares at him for a moment, then sighs] You're not, are you? Then I just needlessly gave him all the knowledge he needs about myself... What are you, then? Are you human?
