Her otherwise beguiling countenance remained suitably nonchalant. However, his rough words elicited the faintest twinge in her chest, a development which she found most puzzling.
More peculiar, still, was the sudden confliction of heart and mind. Her heart told her that she knew this youth during her days as serving as handmaid in imperial court, and yet her mind knew that her childhood playmate had passed away long, long ago...
Most perplexing.

The man stopped as he came up to a line of charms meant to ward off demons. , they were indeed old. He thought about it for a few, completely to this guardian's' puzzling emotions and thoughts. He decided to test the wards y sticking his hand inside, and quickly drew it out, and put out the flames caused by the wards. " are there more of these wards in these woods?" he asked, straight to the point

"Several actually. You can see them quite well from up here." Ragas called down.

Her eyes narrowed in both vague irritation and concentration. The pads of several of her fingers were raised, and gently pressed atop her temples. Her long lashes fluttered shut, for a moment. "Three," She said, with decisiveness. "To the north. "Five to the east. Seven to the west. Their locations change by the day."

The man looked up to Ragas's voice, and then at the 'guardian, and let out a breath. "Damn..............I could probably take them down,..........but I don't want to wast the energy.............."

Ragas floated down. "I could just fly you across if you wish, but you wouldent want that would you? It would seem unfitting of a youkai of your station."

She spun to face the newcomer, green eyes glittering, like oozing pools of poison. Kind demeanor replaced by anger, she folded her arms, regarding him rather crossly. "And someone of your station should know better than to interfere with the will of the Forest God himself...! If this man wishes to pass, he will have to prove himself."

"Very well............" He sad, as he lift up his Tai chi sord, and that seemed to let the light pas right through,, and then he swung it hard down upon the charms. The sword didn't cut the lin, but the paper charms on it burst into little blue flames and fell off as mere leaves.

"Great job. As for the interferring bit, I'v never been one to listen to authority figures. Even if they can rip apart every cell in my body."

The youkai walked along, his sky blue eyes now quickly examininge every square inch of his area as he walked. his feet seemed to phase through the tripwires, without disturbing them

She massaged her temples. "Just who are you anyway?" She growled after a moment, in the tone that one would use in reference to their most hated chore.
[Awwwh. Poor Ragas xD... -hugs- ... My characters are always bitches to everybody... Even the nicer ones. Haha.]

Ragas bowed low. "Ragas the Winged Knight. Immortal half angel, creater of fine cooking and one of the destroyer's of the great demon Morgai. You probably havent heard of him. He was on a different country."
(Ragas will probably just have fun annoying her. I'v toned down some of his abilities for this.)

"Langley," She said dryly. "Langley Grimblade. It's a pleasure, I'm sure... But now you'll have to excuse me, as I'm afraid my 'charge' just wandered off..."
With those words, she dropped to all fours, body giving a shuddering ripple, assuming the form of a feral panther once more, quickly bounding in the direction the other man had gone off in.

Ragas followed along. He was smiling to himself. "Think I just found something to cure my boredom."
