☾ ˚⊹ ❛❛ OH... ARE INTODUCTIONS NORMAL FOR YOU DURING THIS?
"..I haven't been given reason to trust you yet."
The vague answer to the other's question is punctuated by Hank turning his head to look away. Seemed he'd spotted something, because without missing a beat, the killer threw his knife into the head of an attacking grunt. Watching the lifeless body flop to the ground with the blade still embedded, Hank then returned his gaze to Ruv. Perhaps they should have held back, he could only assume that killing wasn't as normalised in Ruv's world.
"I don't have reason to hurt you or to trust you. You're pretty lucky, most people default to being hurt."
Hank then held out his hand, dismissing the both metaphorical and literal blood on it.
"Let's start, then. Nice to meet you. I'm Hank."
There was a thrill to violence. One that Ruv couldn’t describe. Maybe because it was he had grown up with it his entire life, PARTICIPATING in the violence none stop. He had grown to numbed to what should disturb other that he was still rather still as the familiar sound of the body hitting the ground echoed in the room. It was like something had unlocked in Ruv. Something he had buried long ago when he had met SARVENTE. When he met someone who saw him as someone as more than the killing machine he was.
Bending down and picking up the knife, he wiped it on his thick snow pants before looking back at Hank. Ruv was intelligent, though not in the book way. He was wise, and could be quick on the punches. There were at least three people. Trusted, neutral, and those laying on the ground. Ignoring the blood on Hank’s hand, he shook the man’s hand, Russian accent thicker than even he was expecting. ❛❛ Call me Ruv. Full name Ruvyzvat’s. It is mouthful and unable to say before they die. ❜
❛❛ So Hank. How can I help? Wish to have fun, yeah? ❜ Spinning the knife in his hand, he didn’t quite smile at the other. That wasn’t possible. No, he was however completely paying attention to the other. Congratulations Hank- Ruvyzvat the Bloodied Guardian Angel has joined your party. ❛❛ And, no offense Hank. I do not think you could touch me if you tried. ❜
