( @queensconquest ) — A knife was held poised inside one of sleeves , hidden by how oversized the sleeves themselves were. He’d been prepared for the need to kill some filthy vampire , not to find some girl hiding for a peek. Catlike pupils focused on her every movement , watching what she was doing like a hostile animal ready to pounce if she made the wrong move.
“ No idea ? “ A skeptical eyebrow raised Suwa did not actively pursue questioning the matter. It was unimportant as far as he was currently concerned. As long as she left was all that mattered. “ You need to leave the area immediately. I will escort you t the nearest exit of this quadrant. “ A voice that a formal an no nonsense despite the mask he wore that stifled his voice to some degree. He stepped back to let her out back into the main street area once more , gaze sweeping around with an ever alert expression.
Did she think he’d tell her everything. “ Mm. Government got word of a potentially dangerous situation around here , so all civilians are being evacuated for their safety. “ Suwa answered back after a moment , gesturing with one hand for her to follow with him. It wasn’t a lie. It simply sounded like he was speaking of an explosive or gas leak rather than a vampire threat. “ It should be cleared within the next hour or two at most. “
So, he was playing that game with her.
Shion honestly couldn't be surprised - if he was an official working with the government, he was going to be very limited on what it was that he could tell her. Still... something about it all seemed off. And that gaze was not lost on her, either. He was looking for something, and she wanted to know what.
She began to peer around, trying to catch a glimpse of anything out of the ordinary. Yet, nothing seemed to appear. There was only a lingering discomfort in the air, the heaviness of...something. She wondered if he felt it, too.
"I see..." she muttered, beginning to follow behind him. While not dragging her feet, she was not exactly quick, either. Shion had taken it upon herself to be cautious, but what she really wanted was a second to figure things out.
If it really was an emergency, why was he here by himself? At least, he was as far as she knew. Why weren't there proper block-offs? Why didn't her father tell her something? As a detective, he'd know, right?
After some silence, Shion decided that she needed a new tactic. She wanted to take a measure of the only solid thing she could grasp - him.
"Ah-!" Shion gasped as she 'accidentally' hit a crack in the concrete. She fell forward, knocking into his back. Quickly, like a reflex, she wrapped her arms around him. It helped her regain her balance, but gave her an ample chance to feel and guess what sort of materials he had on him. "I'm so sorry - !"
