Of course she was going to notice the shimmering- if Rumia hadnât been observant then she wouldnât have survived as long as she has, the darkness youkai notes it for later to mull over more in-depth, for now itâs simply a threat and one she has no intent of walking into at that. Her hands stay at her sides, tense and readied as always- as ever.
âMy name is Rumia, and as of the moment Iâm currently in the midst of deciding whether or not itâs a pleasure to meet you as well, I suppose~ Iâll let you know when, hm~? For the time being youâll have to excuse~ my rudeness; for I am of course~ older than I look as you said- and you donât get to my~ age without a healthy dose of paranoia~.â
As Rumiaâs arms failed to move, Rachel quirked a brow, but dropped her arm down to her side, seemingly unaffected, their face still jovial as ever as they listened to you with seemingly eager interest. Â You clearly didnât trust her, and whilst she felt very much the same way about Rumia, she found it always helped to keep up an air of foolishness around those whom you didnât trust.
âRumia, hmm?~ Â Iâll be sure to keep that name in mind~ Â And your rudeness is naturally excused~ Â But Iâm surprised a yokai as old as you is so paranoid! Â After all, I would have thought you would fear from nothing, if you were truly powerful~â Â There is a teasing to her voice, attempting to bait you into a response. Â She was probing for information, attempting to get you to respond emotionally, rather than thinking. Â
