She watched him execute his maneuvers with grace and agility. He moved fluidly with each motion, tearing through the beast with the sword. It seemed to react to his each and every call and she felt no further need to intervene. He had the situations fully under control.
She was about to step in once again when it reared up but then the sword pierced through and he appeared once again. The creature was dead, its head rolling to a stop in front of her. She watched him as he came closer, his attention on the blade.
The fear she had shown earlier seemed gone. In a flash it was burned up like the rage he had shown. Instead, she looked at him, the pride he took in his work. Somehow it was... almost adorable. It was entirely not the word that almost anyone else would use, but Renfry wasn't anyone else.
She suppressed a smile that was entirely out of place, perhaps he wouldn't even note the look if he was too focused on the blade.
She walked forward, making for the body but diverging from her path as she reached him. She grabbed his shirt and pulled him toward her. She kissed him deeply, tasting him and savoring him for only a few moments before pulling back again, releasing him, and continuing to walk on toward the creature as if nothing had just happened.
She stopped to inspect it, bending over and prodding the stumps of the appendages and the area where the head had been. Blood pooled on the floor now, clinging to her boots as she knelt low. It wasn't like any creature she had seen before. It was... a hybrid. Like a combination of multiple creatures. She wondered where it had come from. In fact, she was fascinated.
But fascination or not, thoughts stung at the back of her mind. Questions she didn't ask. She held her tongue.
Do you actually know how to corrupt one of these Nexuses? she asked, not turning to look at him yet.
