Zentaro bowed his head. "I cannot speak my name in the prescence of Takeshi." He smiled oddly. "But later, I would be glad to give you a name." Takehsi turned to Silax. "Him too? Did you forget our deal?" He gripped Garxena's arm, pulling her close.
Takeshi observed the falcon spirit. "It's interesting, but it can't do much." Zentaro gripped his short sword. This guy. He's one I should be tracking. That is, when I'm done with Yeifou.
Takeshi grinned. "You want to see what else I can do? Very well." Darkness crawled up Garxena, encasing her. Zentaro glared at Takeshi. His skills are good. Too good. If Garxena hasn't improved from the last time we met, she has no chance.
Takeshi smirked. He slid his scythe away from Garxena's Oblivionblade. "So says you. Listen here, Ayume, there's no way you can win." Zentaro readied his short sword. Even if it is not wanted, I will assit if she is in danger.
Zentaro nodded. He looked over at Takeshi, giving him one of his fake smiles. "I will stay with you, Garxena." "I thought I told you Niwa was not to be here, pigeon." Takeshi unhooked his scythe. "Ready when you are. I'll let you make the first move."
Zentaro sat next to Garxena. "I'll be there. But, your eyes... they are troubled. Are you thinking of something else?" Takeshi portaled near them. "She's thinking of me, of course." He smirked. "Ready, pigeon?"
Zentaro quickly drew Garxena. He looked it over, added some details in the background, and held out the notepad for her to look at it. "It does you no justice." He smiled.
"Correct." Zentaro took out his notepad and pencil. "For old times sake?" He smiled his best.
"Call me Zen now. Kai came up with it." Zentaro titled his head. "You mean about taking on Takeshi? Well, it's the thing I would do. I met briefly with him earlier. Don't worry, I didn't give him my name. I gave him the name I give all people I find untrustworthy. Remember it?"
Zentaro saw Garxena come outside. "Hello, Garxena." He said, trying his best to make the words sound light hearted.
That's a smile like mine. Strained and not real. Zentaro noticed. "If you don't want to tell us that's fine. We won't push you." He looked back at Kai. "Right?"
Zentaro stood and went to Garxena's side. "Your eyes betray you. Have you planned something?" He asked emotionlessly.
"Making your own conditions? Who taught you to speak for yourself?" Takeshi laughed. "Alright." He turned, beginning to walk away. He stopped, facing Garxena again. "Oh, and one last thing, make sure Niwa isn't there. I sense great power in him." He opened a portal and left her. "You look tired." Zentaro observed. "Sleep if you like. I will stand gaurd."
"I could send something after her if you like." Zentaro put effort into trying to sound helpful. "Very well." Takeshi smirked. "I wanted to propose something. I will give you a fair chance. If you can beat me in a one on one battle, I'll let you be."
"If that helps, I will wait until she feels better." Zentaro looked at Kai. "You're thinking. What about?" Takeshi saw Garxena portal. "So nice of you to join me, pigeon. You came to hear what I had to say?"
"I see.... should I do something?" Zentaro thought for a moment. "I don't understand emotions... and girls emotions are harder..."
Zentaro looked at Kai. "Have I offened her?" He said blankly.
"I gave him the name of a comrad of mine. His eyes told me not to trust him." Zentaro looked over at Katara. "Hello, Katara. Are you okay?" He tried to make his words sound concerned.
"I did. I saw a man. He had red hair and green eyes. I didn't get a name, but I gave one." Zentaro smiled his odd smile.
Zentaro went in to the lobby. Garxena is happy. That's good. He went and sat next to Kai.
