"Yo." Ashleigh greeted with a wave.

"And Lindsay, I know. It's not fun, but at least it's easy." She said with a light sigh before looking back to Ash.

"Yes. Yes I am. I feel absolutely miserable,a nd don't know why. So that's fun."

"Cass agreed to keep an eye out for Casey?" Ashleigh asked.

"Lindsay mentioned you were off to talk with her about that." She added after a moment or two.

"And how IS she and Addy doing?"

"Being top tier for the pure mages on the planet? Yeah, no. I can't fault them for thinking that they might be on the radar." Ashleigh commented.

"Lux is stupidly defensive though." She continued.

"I dunno about you, but I'm reasonably certain that nothing is getting into there easily."

"The one that came at me didn't have anything legendary like that, andI barely survived. Ash, you're far more well equipped than I am to deal with them." She added.

"Not.. sure how. You'd think the draconmic element would givve me a boost." She added before shrugging.

"regardless. Shit's gettin' real. Thankfully, we're all right for the moment, as are those we care about. For the moment, at least."

Ashleigh just sighed.

"Here's hoping." was all she said. She didn't really know what else TO say. Just knew that they didn't have any sort of envy for the woman, but aShleigh also wanted to go and offer to help.

If she could have, she would have.

She groaned as she finally managed to get her ass home. She hadn't been there in what felt like forever, had been just going between the Triad and council for meetings, and the guild. It was back and forth.

Now? Now she was able to finally get home.

As she stepped through the portal, she flicked the lightswitch on the wall by her, and kicked off her shoes as the portal closed behind her.

"Fuck it's good to be home." She muttered as she made her way to where she had her crack, her coffee, and started to prepare some for herself. She paused as she reached the counter though, having heard something. She was silent, listening to her surroundings.

Was that a footsteps she'd heard?

She was a hunter, and a vampire. She was able to pick up on the charge and dodged it quietly, making sure to smash the coffee pot that she had in her hands against the figures head hard enough to shatter the pot. As the figure recoiled and shrieked in pain, she smirked. Theyh were dark, covered in shadows, but looked normal beyond that.

damn She thought, noticing the cracked and bent halo, Must be one of the Fallen I've heard are causing problems. No sooner as she finished that though, did she realise that there was a fist coming for her. Sure enough, she ducked below it, causing them to just completely miss her.

She looked to the coffee that was now not going to be enjoyed by her, and turned to head off to her room. She had an emergency button system up there.

If this WAS a fallen, she wasn't entirely sure she could completely take them herself, so she wanted to call in some help.

She was silent as she looked her assailant from head to toe, and quickly making a plan.

She didn't know much about the Fallen, as it hadn't come up with Liz so far.

But she was reasonably certain that if she could grab that halo... it'd help her out. She didn't know how, would it boost her? Debuff her assailant? Kill them? There was no way for her to know, but she knew she had to try.

So, she grabbed the blade, not caring that it would hurt, and twisted it, trying to wrench it from his grip. He didn't release that time, so she twisted harder, and the resulting snap she heard, along with the cry of shock and pain, caused them to release the sword, which she quickly flipped back toward her and aimed at the one who attacked her.

"You have no idea who you're dealing with." She stated as she went to try and hook the halo with the sword.

When she hit the floor, she found herself quite thrilled to know that she didn't need to breathe. However, it was still very much unpleasant. She let out a groan upon the impact, before shoving the now impaled Fallen off of her, causing them to roll away a bit.

"Oh spare me your bullshit." She stated before just getting to her feet and slamming a hand against the wall she was by. A portal opened beneath the head of the Fallen.

And she was reaching through for their halo.

She was silent as she was tackled to the side, her arm and shoulder wrenched in a very not pleasant way. She didn't let out a cry of pain, however.

"Oh come off it." She then said before shoving the Fallen off of her quickly, and switching their positions. She was atop him, and without even considering how it could be problematic for her, she just reached up and grabbed the halo.

"You will do nothing of the sort, anyway." She snarled before pulling hard as he reached up for her hand. She did manage to get the halo off of his head, holding it herself.

She had no idea what to do it with now, but she also realised she didn't really have the time to debate that. Quicklly, she made her way over to the one from before, ready to remove that halo as well.

She was silent as she got to her feet, a halo around each wrist for ease.

"The fuck?" She asked as she looked him from head to toe.

"Who are you and what the hell do YOU want?" She asked, realising that he didn't look quite as dark and shadowed as these two had.
