A Week Later... Capital City Slums... Hudson's POV
After another week of Training with Sheele, I began to notice my proficiency with the use of the katana improve significantly. With that in mind, I ended up changing partners by Najenda's demand, from the calm and relaxing Sheele to the loud and sassy Leone. Walking with the "sista" through the Capital's slums, various people waved to her, as if she was a hero to the community.
???: Hello Leone.
???: Leone! I could use another shoulder massage the next time you come by.
???: Looking good today babe! Come drink with us tonight!
???: Yeah! Come hang out with us Leone!
Hudson: For a slums, the people here sure are a lot more livlier.
Leone: Souls as strong as weeds! It's what happens when you struggle to live all your life. Something you understand, right?
Hudson: Yeah. Survive.... But you sure seem to be popular here.
Leone: It is my hometown after all. Born and raised here! I made a name for myself working at a massage parlor. Maybe sometime I could give you one.
That'd be nice.
Hudson: I'd-.
???: There she is!
Turning around, the two of us noticed a group of men sprinting towards us with rage in their hearts, and by the sound of it with good reason.
???: I'll have you pay for that drinking bill!
???: It's time to settle your gambling debts!
???: I want the money you scammed off my brother!
Standing in between them and Leone, I went to unsheathe my blade, but felt Leone's arm grab me and pick me up.
Leone: Come on tough guy. Gotta go!
Hudson: What the-?
Leone: So! What do you think!?
Hudson: What did you do to them!?
Leone: Oh, you know....stuff.
Hudson: Stuff!? These folks want your head!
And how are you lifting a pilot up with only one arm!?
Several Hours Later... Red Light District...
The two of us returned to the city due to a recent request. With Leone guiding me through, we overlooked the Capital's red light district from the rooftops above.
Hudson: So this is the red light district, right?
Leone: Yep.
Hudson: A place of sex. Ugh... I'm getting Angel City vibes here. I feel dirty just looking at this.
Leone: That straight forwardness is kinda cute, lieutenant.
Hudson: Thank y-. Wait, what?
The young woman giggled.
Leone: Okay then, time to work. I got debts to pay!
Hudson: No shit, you do.
Leone: LIONELLE! TRANSFORM!
Hudson: Lion-wha? Oh gawd...
