He wasn’t going to have to look very far, in that case.

"It’s fuckin’ cold…" the girl muttered for the umpteenth time to herself, mouth falling into a frown at the puffs of white accompanying each shaky breath. Not only did she get dragged to this place, but her first glimmer of hope when it came to escaping this place any time soon turned out to be a trap. Some kind of sick game. On top of all that..

Green eyes fell to her wrist, and she sighed, rubbing at the black eyesore that was etched into her skin. Partner, huh? What a nice cherry on top, as if this whole ordeal wasn’t enough. The more she thought about it, the more Isabel could feel herself being pulled in a specific direction — almost like she had a built in compass.

It was in the midst of her confusion and distress that she heard the roars from up ahead. Ironically, that seemed to be where her body was urging her to go. Huh. Similar to a rubber band finally being allowed to snap back after a stretch, she gave into her instincts and let her feet operate on autopilot as she wandered forward, staying close to the trees. What she saw next, however, rendered her unable to look away.

A boy? A boy that could take out a beast with his bare hands? A boy that -….spotted her, apparently. Not that that mattered. A tiny form separated itself from the mass of foliage upon being addressed, immediately blurting, "Whoa! You..You killed it! With just your hands - you really, really killed it!" Ah. Observant as always.

「 Busy with crushing the skull of the hungry beast who'd tried to chomp on him, Brago had barely paid attention to the light tugging of the bond stemming from the new black mark engraved on his skin as it signaled his partner getting closer and closer. It was only after, when the thought of pursing it crossed his mind, that he realized in an instant how close it was. The one he'd addressed, there almost seemed to be an invisible line between them, and then came the emotions.

Awe. Curiosity and confusion. Distress. Not normally things that pestered the teen himself. It was a bit aggravating, really, these sort of emotions implanting themselves in his head. Shaking them off, eyes narrowed a bit as he fully turned to get a look at the small figure staring at him. Didn't seem to be too much like his last human partner. 」

Pipe down. There's no use in stating the obvious.

「 If anything, he was a bit unimpressed. She'd have to prove herself first if she wanted his respect for real, but for now he'd rather get the basics out of the way if he was going to be stuck with her. There were certain things that needed to be addressed if they were to be stuck as partners, no doubt about that. But, for now, first things first. Introductions. 」

You, woman. What's your name.

「 ❋ 」—- To see such a small child put down a monster that was twice their size was..surprising. She’d seen nothing of the sort here, so it was well, strange. Back home, this would be a normal thing. Exorcists are able to combat akuma who are much large than they are and even risk their lives doing so, but being here with all of these different people, she’d not even had time to think that there could be creatures lurking about. She’d been suddenly tossed into this strange facility and left to fend for herself and had then been tossed outside once again and left on her own to survive. It was tough, being on her own for the first time in awhile.

She watches him, crouched behind a tree and he kills that creature with no mercy, the crunch of it’s bones and the howls that could be heard during it’s demise were ghastly, but she was not afraid. She looked on in curiosity instead, wondering how he was able to do it all. When the creature had finally been put down, she decided it was time to leave just in case the one who had killed it wanted to do her harm. Slowly, she rose to her feet, but then he calls to her and her breath hitches just for a moment at knowing she’s been caught. With nowhere to run, it’s wise to reveal herself.

Hands placed cautiously in front of her, she steps out into the open, she could see the child clearly now. Pale grey skin, dark marks under his eyes and a very peculiar choice of clothing. It was nothing like her exorcist uniform. ❝ I was just wondering how you were able to do that, ❞

❝ I don’t want to cause any trouble, I was just passing by..that’s all. ❞

「 A woman. Brago's expression hardly twitches as she emerges from the shadows, tall and unimpressive-looking. But he knew better than to judge by appearances alone. She wasn't near his level, but she's wasn't a normal weak human, either. No doubt she could hold her own in this place, especially since the way she was regarding him was less with fear and more curiosity. People unused to violence wouldn't react like that.

No hostility in place, and not finding her an exciting-looking enough opponent, the teen slipped his hands into his pockets and turned to address her fully, rather than bothering to crane his neck. She didn't have a very interesting way of speaking, to say the least, and her question earned a stare. 」

Hmph. That's a stupid question.

I trained. That's all.

「 Trained until his hands bled and his body ached. It paid off, with there not being a single demon child who didn't know his name. From what he could tell, though, there didn't seem to be anybody like him around here. Not that it mattered. He'd find a way out himself in due time. Eyeing up the woman and the way she was both addressing him and holding herself, he eventually turned his head away a bit after a few moments and closed his eyes. 」

If you wanted to cause trouble, you wouldn't be looking at me like that. I'm not interested in fighting someone like you, anyway.

「 Disappointing.

That was what the teen thought when he was first confronted by one of the unnatural creatures crawling through the crisp snow, eyes wide and wild and maw dripping with saliva that stunk. It wasn't like he hadn't seen anything like it before, not being human himself, but it lacked the smarts any other demon would have.

The most impressive thing was the fact it had the gal to bear it's fangs at him, when despite it's size and monstrous form, it was hardly anything impressive.

At least, to him.

It lacked any tact, blindly going straight for his throat, and the sound it's skull made when he caved it in with his bare hands was dull.

Whoever ran this needed better obstacles, Brago thought as he nudged the unmoving beast with a black-clad foot. Well, now that that was out of the way, maybe he'd actually bother to find the person who'd end up stuck with his wave of dismissive emotions. Wiping clawed hands on the black fur covering his form, he moved to leave the area but paused mid-step.

Dark gaze swinging through the treeline, he let his eyes lock onto a less monster-like form in the shadows cast by the moon overhead. Guests, huh. Figures. It's not like the bastard on the ground had been quiet with it's hungry roars. 」

What?
