Nods "I have been turned for over a year for a while now, I guess my Wolverine way of looking at things gives off the newbie status. I have no problem with peace but war is inevitable. Always be prepared to fight. I'd rather hate you for everything you are Than ever love you for something you are not. I'd rather you hate me for everything I am
Than have you love me for something that I can't. It's a quote from a song, but like could be applied to the word love there just the same."

He was following behind her. Not too far not too close. They made a few turns and bends, then he suddenly stopped reached up and tapped her on the shoulder." At the next bend there is a pack of probably eight ferals. At least I get
8 different smells. But all smell like ferals. Which is odd you normally don't see them in a group that big maybe 2-3 at the max. I don't think they've spotted us yet but I'm really confused why there is so many of them. My actions could've stirred them up a little bit I've done this a few times and that's never happened before."

Chia visibly startled when Red tapped her on the shoulder. Her steps stopped as she glanced over her shoulder to hear what he had to say. As he explained what was likely waiting for them around the next corner, she closed her eyes and tried to feel out what he was talking about. Unfortunately, her tracking kills had dulled significantly while she was asleep. This was somewhat frustrating for the Spaniard because she used to be able to stalk her target from a decent distance. It was one of the most critical things to being an assassin.

"Por supesto." She muttered under her breath, as her hands went to retrieve the short sword from the scabbard that was on her back between her shoulder blades. "You think a little? I mean the sewer reeks of blood from your little rampage, they must be responding like sharks to the blood in the proverbial water." A simple shrug was given as she started off down the hallway. Chia had no problems eliminating a pack of ferals. Didn't matter if the masquerade was gone or not, these sort posed a huge risk for vampire survival. As she moved closer to the creatures, shadows started to envelop the blonde, partially obscuring her from sight. She had the first one in her sights and was sneaking up in preparation to lop its foul head off.

Was about to respond to her when she slipped around the corner and began to attack the feral. Which really wasn't a problem for him at all. He watches her as she moved, studying her. He could definitely tell she was trained. That question had been answered.

Aden let out a loud growl as he stepped around the corner with there getting all of their attention focused on him, which is the way he liked it. With a devilish smirk on his face. Leaning down, bringing his hand always down to his hip up then over his shoulder in a circle like motion, hitting the first feral in the face as hard as he could, the sound of the skull, breaking and shattering as his fist crushed the ferals face. To him was quite satisfying to someone else. It probably didn't sound so sweet.

Remembering he was supposed to keep up his ruse of being more of a boxing, big brawler type. He decided his next move should be a bit more reckless. There were two at a right angle from him. If he speared one as hard as he could. He could slam both of them to the wall, probably breaking one of their backs this seems like a fun logical option. This is not how he normally fights but once you decide on braking your ruse at the first opportunity. It was hard to remember to keep his feet a bit more planted not move his body the way he had been trained for using his own style of martial arts. He had been working on for last eight years.

" Spine buster!" He says as he charged spearing the first Feral with a loud "Crack" like a lineman but a lot more deadly. Then soon after followed loud "Thud!" as he slammed into the second one. Pinning him up against the wall as the wall shook then a few bricks fell down from the impact. The front one moaned as Aden headbutting him in the face then as feel to the floor. Aden smirked it with a twisted smile. Then letting him drop to the floor while the one the back was still dased." Flawless victory!" he shouts as both hands suddenly come from his wast as both quicky rise in the air while he fully extends his arms. Balling up his fist as he dose so. "Finish him!". Then bringing them down hard to smash the ferals skull " Fatality! Red wins!" as the feral head explodes like a water Mellon at a Gallagher show.

He turned around. Hopefully in time to see her finish off the last one." Valkyrie would like you, I do think. The difference is what I'm aiming for and what you think. I should be aiming for, Remember. I was down here killing things because it's fun. It's not challenging unless there several of them. I'm pretty sure I can take on seven or eight without getting a minor injury if I wish too."

Her first strike struck true as she lept from the shadows, cutting the feral vampire's neck open like butter. Chia landed a well placed boot to its back as it started to crumple, sending it forward towards the other creature a few feet away. The feral, side stepped its dying comrade and took a swipe at Chia. The blonde ducked under its flailing arms. She shuffled to position herself at the creature's flank, and pulled her sword back like one might do to prepare to swing a baseball bat. Sure it wasn't the most proper of swordplay techniques, but it helped the petite woman get the job done.

As she started her swing, shadows seemed to coil around the blade so that when it struck home it bit into the feral's rib cage. Chia pulled her blade out, and pushed the creature back into the brick wall behind it. As the feral's back hit the brick, it seemed stunned and unaware that Chia was lunging forward to execute a riposte with her weapon. The sword made a sickening crunch as it skewered the foul thing in the chest, breaking its sternum int eh process. Satisfied, Chia ripped her sword out at an angle, ensuring that the feral would indeed bleed out before she looked back to check on Red. He seemed to have quite the enjoyable time eliminating the other ferals from this plane. She offered an appreciative smile as she listened to him speak as to a person and his motivations.

"Who is Valkyrie?" The Spaniard inquired as she dropped the second body to the floor. She moved to wipe off her blade on her jeans before holstering it and proceeded to continue down the hall. They could walk and talk.

Once he got done dispatching the last feral and watching her do her thing. With a soft smirk on his face " That's what I call my sire, Kira probably what everyone else calls her. She has her wild side but it's nothing like mine. I am pretty sure I give her lots of headaches. And she makes that same expression on her face that you did a second ago."

He was deftly impressed by how she moved but sword skill she deftly was untrained. She deftly grabbed his attention. He wanted to see her find her stuff. Maybe learn a bit more about her. Aden was getting bored running around and killing things wanted to actually make some friends here or least friends and enemies something.

He did know but she did fascinate him for that she still had that warrior look in her eye she was on a mission. And she was the type that would try to eliminate him if she felt that he endangered it. Which he respected because he had a similar line of thinking. He knew that they both do they were holding back.

" So once we find whatever it is that you may or may not be looking for. Or least the spot that you think everything should be what are you going to do next? You didn't even crack a smile at my mortal combat reference. Come on it was a little funny just a little?"

He has never gotten it at all so far every vampire that he's met to take everything so damn serious. What's the point of being able to live forever if you don't have a little bit fun with it it would get quite boring really quick? I mean does everyone lose their sense of humor when they die?

"Mmm I don't know yet. I just got a job as a bouncer at the Serpentine. But otherwise I'm sort of reintegrating myself into things and reconnecting to the few people I remember. Make new make friends, figure out the family situation." She gave a soft smile as she moved down the next corridor heading west. "You know the usual things."

Then he asked her about something he had said. What was it anyways? She didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. "As to your reference...likely didn't know to find it humorous because I've never heard of it before. I spent all of my time as a little kid running around the football pitch." She mentioned as she walked around the corner. Chia's steps stopped abruptly as she looked don the hall. Yes this was starting to feel familiar. Her hand ran along the left wall, looking for a few gashes that she had remember leaving vaguely when she got into a fight with a hunter down here. "We are on the right track." She mumbled with a small smirk before taking off at a light jog down the hallway.

He waits for her to finish and he looks like a little kid as he pokes his lip out. " That's great that were headed to your homeless encampment in the sewers." He says the little sarcasm. " Really you don't know what like Mortal Kombat is?Yyou look like you are old enough to grow up in the 90s. Like everybody knows Mortal Kombat. Like the people under the rocks that live like you know in the desert don't even have friends. Know about Mortal Kombat." As he talks he sounds like a sad kid someone stole his toy.

Then he stops and a smirk on his face. " ow about after we find your stuff, we play Mortal Kombat? It's a very fun game. I would say I would even treat you to a snack like you paying for blood pack really is not that impressive as a date or just in general. I have the first three and the system and the cheat codes for all of them. You could totally do like fatalities, uppercut me into hits and stuff. You look like you would enjoy being Sonia doing the case of death. The game was so popular they even made a movie about it I believe there was two. There was even like multiple cartoon series and a weird live-action series. It's one of the most classic games out there it's like Mario except with violence."

That's when it dawned on him his girlfriend would probably be upset is another girl in his hotel playing video game him. He figured he would deal with that later if she figured out. Because Mortal Kombat is awesome. That's up there with like making someone watch the Rocky horror show either they like it or you get to scar them for life.

"Now that you are all back from the dead again? For a relatively good while hopefully. What are your plans besides family and stuff?".

In begins realizes that one of the longest conversations that he's had besides with his girlfriend that he hasn't gotten yelled at. So this is what it was like talking to other people when you're not trying to seduce them for blood.

Chia listened closely as the man spoke fondly of this video game. To be fair it sounded like a lot of fun. She had remembered watching her brothers in arms play something similar once, or at least that's what her super hazy memory told her. It was an alien shooting game, but they all liked to play the player versus player mode where they could shoot each other. Often times she and a few of the other girls would smoke and watch the free entertainment because their colleagues would bet and goad each other.

A faint smile appeared on her lips as she thought of her family as well as the mention of family from Red. She slowed her pace, letting her violet eyes look over to him as they walked. "As for the what else? I don't really know yet. It doesn't seem like bounty hunters are the rage anymore. So I will have to look to something else for amusement." She paused as she thought over all of the different skills she had acquired as an assassin. "Maybe black market supplier - have a aptitude for breaking into computer systems and buildings." Her stream of thoughts sort of spilled over her lips as she considered possible ventures for her side hustle. However, that would be for another time.

Her mind returned to his offer to hang out outside of the sewers. She couldn't get a great read on him, but she hoped this didn't come with the expectation of a date or anything. Chia could barely figure out what the hell she was doing with herself, let alone worry about another person. "Mm, si senor." Chia started as she wound around the next corner, her accent starting to assert itself as she started to relax a bit. "That sounds like a good time. You'll have to teach me how to play in the first place, but I'm sure i'll pick it up quickly."

Aden smirked as he listened to her she seemed interesting to him even more so that she seemed to relax as she wasn't on guard as much now. " Sounds quite doable, but if you ever need some muscle or someone quite good at killing things let me know. Kind of my specialty, I was really good at it before I was turned. It's a lot easier now used to be. And to be honest, what you are worried about me doing I'm probably gonna do some later. As you can imagine I'm not a big fan of paladins. Been getting better at my skills and making weapons. And I'm going to go remind several of them they need to stay out of vampire affairs. We can take care of our own kind."

She could hear the intensity and the downright killing intent when he mentions the paladins. It was quite obvious that he absolutely loathe them. His aura grew into a wild frenzy like a pack of hyenas ready to kill. As his voice changed and he moved on to a different subject quickly relaxed back to his normal state of primal readiness. He oozed out around him primitive barbaric like energy. That gave off that intent like he would've been happier on a bloodsoaked battlefield back in the medieval ages.

" No I'm not trying to trap you into a date I'm just trying to make friends. I've been quite busy fighting all of the fun monsters around town and seeing how strong I am. As you noticed I get quite lost when I'm having fun. Especially in a place that I'm now or to anyone else getting hurt. So haven't really met anybody in town. Valkyrie and I go out and hunt together every so often. She keeps her tabs on me."

Smirks " I met one vampire when I first got here that had the unnerving powerful aura like a great white shark. His strength was impressively massive, I'm not near his level but I'm getting there. I plan to fight him one day and earn his respect more so his understanding, with him probably at least his knowledge meant."

He pauses.

" The games a lot of fun it's a cult classic. Is a basic fighting game but it just has some unique fun things to do that always made the game hilarious and horribly entertaining."

Chia listened as the man talked, though her pace was starting to slow. In a way, this little section of the sewers was starting to feel like home. The bends in the road were placed where she remembered there compared to the relative unknowns in the north of town. Fingers reached into her pocket to retrieve a lighter. As she stopped to look down each of the corridors, she flicked the lighter onto illuminate the area. Once she noticed what she was looking for wasn't there, she would move on further down the hallway towards the west.

One of these hideyholes was going to have a swath of paint on the wall. Chia had loved painting in her downtime as a young girl, so she took the art form back up and spray painted a mural on one of the walls of her favorite resting spot to pass the time. The fifth time the light flicked on, a sunset covered the entire left wall of one of the small room ahead of them. A huge smile grew on her face as she sprinted ahead, and started to examine the boxes that seemed to have dry rotted away after sitting in one place for several years.

Chia rifled through the contents of the crates and sure enough pulled out a camping style backpack. She dropped to a seat on the floor and started going through the bags contents. Clothes, ammo, a notebook, a nice looking amethyst necklace, a wallet, and some other random baubles and bits. This was hers alright, but there was no sign of the daggers. They must've been on her person when she went into the fade. Chia slumped back and leaned against the wall.

"This is my former little home, but alas what I seek isn't here. But it isn't all for naught. I did meet someone new afterall." She gestured at Red with a bit of a sigh. It was clear she was a little disappointed that the daggers weren't with her pack. "Friends sounds good though. Perhaps we can exchange info and set that up for sometime later this week? I'll bring the bloodbags." As she sat there leaning against he back wall, Chia balled up her fists in frustration.

Seemingly out of nowhere, a pair of daggers appeared in her hands. Bewildered she glanced down and brought the implements of death up for inspection. The handles were inlaid with a pattern frequently found in Moorish aritecture. The pommel on each was engraved with a small A.R. monogram, indicating its owner. "Well I don't know how I did that, but these are what I was looking for." A lopsided smile appeared on the Spaniards features, clearly tickled to have most of her earthly possessions in Harper's Rock back.
