[For today: a normal, soft grey cloak and white leather body suit. Her sword is sheathed at her back, and she smiles a tiny bit as she lowers her head in greeting to him.]
Rigaldo.
[Strange, seeing him this way. Even now, after that encounter in the ruins, it remains strange. The Rigaldo she knew had no use for blades - breakable or otherwise. He had his claws, and his speed, and his hunger.]
You've picked an excellent spot! Far enough from the city to avoid any unpleasant accidents. But... we should probably decide on ground rules. I definitely don't want you awakening.
I'd have to take your head off.
[She smiles.]

[Well, except to give her an odd look at that last part.]
I didn't come here to lose my head, so that would be for the best.
[And he's about to lay down an offer, but...]
What is... awakening?

[Priscilla blinks a good two or three times at that one before she remembers. He wouldn't know. He wouldn't have learned]
[...they might not even have a word for it, in his time.]
[But he'd know the feeling. She steps forward, and presses a hand flat against his chest.]
When you use your yoki, and you feel that thing inside you, pushing? Trying to come out?
And it takes everything you have to keep from letting it loose?
...in the moment, you lose that battle, you Awaken.

[...but he understands her anyway. He's felt it, that push. As alien as the words might be, it seems as if he'd already known.]
Awakening. Is that what that is?
[Carefully, almost delicately, he removes her hand by the wrist, but he doesn't take his eyes from her.]
And if that happened, you'd be forced to kill me. Which means it must be a terrible thing to give in to.
