The Ace in the hole! WAIT WHO'S WATCHING THE GUILD?!?!?[Ilyana]

The sounds of families playing through out the park filled the area. The Crying of kids who fell, yelps of pains, they were all heard as well as the laughter of a good time, the screams of 'Gotcha'. Yes, the park was in an uproar today as it probably was on all sunny days. Balsam didn't have something like this in the rocky area but they did have their fun. It was nice to enjoy another town's culture, see how they lived life day to day. However he had pretty much made up his mind at this point as to what he was going to do about the guild.


Until then he thought it best to stay here until his head was cleared. Which was why one could find the long haired mage in an apple tree within the park. His sword rested on his chest as he was biting into an apple. His emerald hues were hidden behind his eyelids, closed off from the world. He was just enjoying the sounds of life for a kid remembering his life as a child. Did his parents really favor him over the others? He didn't see it that way, he supposed he could ask his sister next time he saw her since she too was in Sabertooth.

Each step was steady, as the young woman's boots clicked against the paved pathway of the park. Azure orbs watched intently as the youth of the town chased each other in the fields. It was an unseasonably warm day, and the sun drenched the the entire thistled area with it's warm, pale light. The woman's heavy coat was folded in the bag that hung over her shoulder, as her typical attire fared fine against the elements. A few weary glances fell the woman's way, the large rifle that hung over her opposite shoulder attracting unwanted attention. A smile tugged at the edges of her lips, as she desprately tried to wipe away the scowl that wanted to linger across her face. She had found on her journey that the more pleasant she looked the less people came up to her. The woman that an intimidating aura made people scared of her, but also made them intrigued.

Her pace had halted, as she stood in front of a large group that were throwing a ball around. The azure haired figure was statuesque as she watched the group circled around their playing field. There was maybe 15 of them in all, and from what the young woman could tell, they all varied in age. It looked as though some hadn't even reached the age of ten, while others were well into their teens. They spit witty banter back and forth as they fought for the possession of the ball. As she watched, she found herself nestled on the ground. Elbows buried into her knees as her chin rested in the palm of her hands. Was this how childhood was supposed to be? Characterized by play and amusement? She scoffed. She couldn't tell if the group in front of her were lucky, or too sheltered. Perhaps both...

"Watch out."

Lost in the confines of her own thoughts, the young woman hadn't heard the call of the boys from the field-- let alone have time to react properly. Instead, her gazed snapped upwards, looking for the source of the words that she had suspected were called to her direction. The dense, heavy ball came in contact with the woman's face.

She winced, her visage cradling itself into her hands. Nimble fingers blindly attempted to diagnose any damage, her eyes blinking back tears. It hadn't hurt terribly, but the ball's force was a shock to the petite woman. Soon the gaggle of boys crowded around the young woman. A cacophony of voices met her, disorienting the woman more. Some were apologetic while others were accusing. "I'm fine..." Ilyana suggested, trying to shoo the young men away. Her hand went up to stop the crowd from drawing closer.

Someone must have taken her gesture as a suggestion to pull her up to her feet. The tension that had met her arm, guided to a standing position. The woman had been moderately confused. Her free hand fell from her face, to her rifle, guaranteeing that it still remained on her shoulder. Azure orbs fluttered open, finally taking a moment to assess the situation that she now found herself in: the center of a now growing crowd. Heat found its way to her cheeks, as her orbs searched for a way out.

-Hearing a loud thud the demon slayer peeked his head up to investigate.  His emerald hues scanned the area seeing a large crowd of kids form. An uproar began to form as the crowd began to chatter around what they surrounded. Becoming Interested he took another bite of his apple as he swung himself off the tree branch. Catching his sword he slapped it to a small plate on his lower back. White lightning charged the blade as it stuck to the plate.  Walking over to the group of kids he saw a figure in front of them, it seemed woman like. Just what did these little brats do now? It wasn't that he didn't like kids, he just didn't have the freedom they have. It was something to envy of course as he didn't have such luxury having to work in the Family's chain of bath houses. Once Knux reached the group he saw it was his Ace. She was then pulled up by a child, his eyes scanning her as she did.  "You Brats managed to hit a lady with a ball? Did anyone apologize to her hmm?"
As he talked to the kids white lightning began to spark off his body to instill fear into the kids.


How unexpected for his Ace to out the Guild Hall, even more so  in another town while he was gone. Did something Happen? Was the guild destroyed? Or did she just simply miss him? He simply didn't know what she was doing here. His emerald hues look down to his ace as a sigh left his mouth. Hey Ilyana, you okay? They didn't hurt you did they? I

Seeing that the Ace was alright he patted her head and headed towards the train station. It was time to head home, after all he was gone for quite some time. Waving good by his bnody became a blur as he became a bolt of lightning a fled the area.
