A masked and hooded head turns at the sound of the voice, although in this darkness, she couldn’t exactly pinpoint where they were at this moment. She stops walking, holding fast and listening in case something decides to charge at her.
“Who ever said this wanderer was lost?” She retorts, finding amusement in how poetic this surprise meeting has become. “The shadows are my home, after all. I know very well what kind of terrors lurk. Are you one of them?”
“That largely depends on who you ask, if you want ‘terror’, I’m up for the task,” The stranger replied with clear amusement in his voice. The leaves of a nearby tree rustled, then a tall, dark figure jumped off it, landing in a respectable distance from Zeyla.
“For this mission, I’m your partner though so let me introduce myself to you.” He straightened and dismissed his mask, shaking back his hood as well. The lights on his armor identified him as a Blade.
“I’m Gato, acquisitions expert and the bane of our dearly beloved leader’s existence.” His teeth gleamed in the darkness and he offered his lower arm to her.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you. Let’s liberate some Empire supplies together!”
