Meran glanced anxiously in between the three people in front of her. Kaisen was shocked that she appeared out of nowhere, the woman sitting, her gray bangs covering her eyes turned her head towards her, and the crazy looking one turned only her eyes towards her. The green woman scared Meran quite a bit, with her insane grin, and her silver tooth, so she glanced over the calm woman sitting. She had on a red scarf covering her mouth, and her hair seemed straight and silky. Her hands were slightly bony and thin, and an image of someone else having similar hands flashed over her memory. She wore a tight dark navy blue dress underneath her long white trench coat and she had on very high heels that had even more of a platform at the front of the shoe that gave her about another foot in height if she was to be standing. Meran felt the eyes of a predator scanning her over, and had no choice but to look up at the terrifying figure. Her eyes were thin, scanning over every aspect she could see on her. Meran could see around to her waist to see what she was possibly going to pull out on Kaisen that would freak him out so much. On her waist, rested a gun that looked like one of the guns that the men in the alleyway held, almost still alive and moving. However unlike those guns that were big and heavy looking, her gun was a lot smaller, like a regular police gun, but she could tell it wielded a lot more power than those bigger ones. "Another little cutie came to join us!" The words slithered out like a snake that wrapped around her flow of breath and shattered it. Who was she to say that she was cute? It honestly weirded her out rather than scared her, even though she was the scariest figure there. Meran took it as a sign of growth, as she first off never would have run into this situation and secondly she would have cowered in front of this woman.

"Hey kid... why're you here?" Kaisen asked, his body still rigid and still, not knowing what the women were going to do. "Y-You looked scared.." Meran took a step to Kaisen, letting the two know that she was prepared to defend him if necessary. The woman sitting lowered her head slightly. "This has become pointless..." Her voice was beautiful and even, and she stood up. "Are you fucking kidding me?? He literally waltzes up to us, you say not to kill him, a brat comes along, and you suddenly say 'fuck it, let's go'??? You actually are a sorry excuse for Phantom, Tau-" The crude one was cut off by the lovely woman named Tau, simply with a turn of her head. "I have spoken to you about this Jousha," She turned her tall body towards her. "I wanted to come alone, but you insisted. I was not planning to kill anything or anyone this evening." Meran admired how calm she was. If someone had talked to her like that, she probably would have broken down and cried. Tau then turned to Meran, giving her a once over. "He asked you a question, dear." She was surprisingly polite towards her. Maybe she didn't hear her from before. "He's my friend Miss..." She started. "And he looked frightened or something so I came over to help.." Kaisen was still very much on edge, but his shoulders relaxed a bit hearing Meran call him her friend. Meran took a quick glance around, and suddenly the people that had filled the park from before had disappeared. The Jousha figure also followed her action, taking a look around, and her evil grin grew. "Were the people fake too..?" Meran whispered. Suddenly, Jousha's hand went to her waist, and charged Kaisen, and everything seemed to slow down. Tau's hand wasn't fast enough to stop her, and Meran could only watch as she raced to him. Kaisen's eyes changed as fast as lightning to a black and crimson and he threw his arms up in defense, a dagger instead of the gun everyone saw before rose up to try and cut him.

Before the knife could land, familiar transparent teal limbs in the shape of hands stopped it, along with the rest of her movements. Kaisen fell back but caught himself before he hit the ground. Meran whipped around to find Torain walking up to them, eyes exactly like Kaisen's. "Oh cool... There's two Reds here.." Jousha strained underneath Torain's hold. She honestly looked like a wild beast that was just captured because of how she was fighting the hold. Tau simply stood there, and turned her attention to Torain. "Weird Hellcarver you got there, Ma'am." Torain walked past Tau, almost in a mocking tone when she said Ma'am. "Kaisen, put your Kaen away." She ordered as her eyes shifted back to normal human looking eyes and Kaisen followed, his eyes also shifting back to the human eyes he had before. Torain had a firm grip on Meran's shoulder and Tau did the same for her assistant. Meran had the feeling she was in trouble, because Torain's long nails that were very well kept, she thought, were slighting digging into her shoulder, and Torain was glaring hard at Kaisen. Feiten stayed behind a tree. Tau gave a nod to Torain, signaling that she stabilized Jousha and the limbs slowly came off one by one. "You all may leave first." Tau said and forced Jousha to sit down. "The last time a Hawk said that we seers could leave first, five bodies dropped behind me. So no. I kindly turn your offer around." Torain smiled; it was an obviously fake smile, and was keeping Kaisen from walking away, and keeping Meran from running to Feiten. Tau sighed, but complied. She gave a final look to Kaisen. "I am sorry. I won't come to you again." She lowered her head slightly, and took the upset and sour woman and proceeded out of the park. Meran noticed that Tau carried herself with grace, because she almost floated even in those heels.
