He rubbed his nose, looking at her for a moment. "I mean…okay, I guess?"

Glove snickered at the conversation. Poor boy, doesn't know how to take what is given to him.

Eve was standing a few feet away, watching this interaction with an amused expression on her face. Same conversation they had yesterday. She thought.

Glove noticed Eve and caught her attention, showing the new weapon then walking towards the forest. Slung on her shoulder was a bag filled with supplies should they need it–as well as room for four wildebeast horns.

Eve decided she was done being patient. Interrupting Runner and Athena's argument, she spoke up. "Look, we don't have time for this. We have to head to Rukil Forest. I grabbed some spare weapons from my house," She gestured to the swords she had strapped to her back. "You're going to have to protect yourself if we're ever going to find Athena's friends." She turned, pausing before adding one last thing. "By the way, I found someone else who'll help. Anyone who complains is getting left behind."

He shrugged. "I already felt her around. I've cooled off, so I'll be fine." He tilted his head. "I don't really need a weapon. I kinda just…am one."

On her way to Rukil Forest, Glove thought about her position. Hmm. I am doing job of mercenary. I am mercenary. Should I charge as mercenary? She thought about Runner and how upset he presumably would be if they had to pay for her services. I will pretend to charge. That is all. She shrugged to herself. I am off duty at moment.

((So, like, Runner was basically made to kill the Vanguard, right

(Alright, so what I said makes sense

Satisfied, Eve continued walking, calling out behind her. "Follow me, the forest is this way."

Glove made it to the forest before the group and leaned against a tree on the outskirts, waiting.

Runner followed, rubbing his nose.

Eve entered the forest, aware of someone watching her. She was unsure whether it was the pink haired girl, or someone else. Despite this, Eve kept moving, keeping her guard up, and prepared to grab a dagger should someone or something dangerous pop out.

Glove trailed behind the group, keeping an eye out for any wildebeasts. I just need two. That is all.

Runner was completely unconcerned, despite feeling the same presence. There wasn't much he feared after facing off with his dad.

After a few minutes, Eve decided the pink haired girl must be the one following them. If it had been anything or anyone else they would have attacked by now. "Hey, pink haired girl! You can come out now. Maybe introduce yourself." Eve was becoming quite tired of referring to her as the pink haired girl.

Glove continued to silently trail the group–doing no such thing–but hedged around when she heard the familiar sound of a hunting wildebeast–a grunt followed by a huff, then leaves, twigs, and trees being snapped by its massive body as it moved through the forest.

Eve herself heard this, although she did not worry. The very reason she asked the pink haired girl to assist them was that she could protect herself. Although Eve did pull out a dagger, readying it should she need to protect these incompetent fools she called her companions.

Glove stalked farther from the group, eager to test out the javelin and see if she truly wanted to kill two wildebeasts for it. She hoped she did.

He rubbed his face. "It's a wild beast. She can handle it with that new poking stick she has with her. Magic runes and carvings, etcetera, etcetera."

"Poking stick? Really. That's the best you could come up with." Athena raised her eyebrows. "But yeah, she probably can."

"If you want me to say 'magical javelin,' I can. I'm just not one for dramatics."

A few roars and falling trees later, Glove joins the group with four bloody wildebeast horns, stashing them in her bag.

She raised her brows. "How do you know of ze runes?"

"I feel the magic off of it. I could probably take the power out of them and turn that thing back to a normal spear," he said with a shrug. "Not that I'm gonna."

She lit another cigarette, having lost her previous one in the squabble. "No, you could not. These runes are without magic. They need magic to activate. You borrow magic. That won't suffice."

He tilted his head. "And how do you know that?"

"Only who knows runic can activate 'em." She added.
