RYUUSEI: ".........oh, hell."
Ryuusei stands up, chopsticks still in hand.
RYUUSEI: "Red's coming over...... Yoh.... When Red gets here, stall him. Until I decide what to do about her. He isn't to keen on strangers at all. Especially those that look like you and me."

At Ryuusei's mention of their physical semblance to each other, Swift smiled. She'd wondered if he'd noticed. She was, however, worried. Who was this "Red"? He didn't sound too nice. She wasn't worried about her physical wellbeing, after all, she could hold her own. She was more concerned about her relationship with Ryuusei.....and Yoh. Ryuusei intrigued her and Yoh made her laugh. She was hoping that she may finally be able to forge a friendship with these two, and didn't want to have to leave them just yet.
SWIFT: "Who is this person? Are you sure he will not approve of me? Are you two friends with him? Should I hide somewhere?" Swift was as confused as ever.

Yoh: "Oh, alright."
Finishing his breakfast, he glanced over at Swift listening to her questions.
Yoh: "Red-sama is Amidamaru-sensei good friend. Nah, he's cool, I'm sure he'll take things smoothly....."
Yoh's voice, though he wasn't aware of it,had a slight hint of not even himself being sure that Red would take things lightly...

Ryuusei sends Swift away to a back room, just as Red kicks the door to the Dojo open.
RED: "YO! Did I make it in time for th' grub?"
Red seats himself at the table, grabs a fork, and pauses.
RED: ".......WHAT TH' HELL IS THIS STUFF?! YOU TRYIN' TO KILL ME?!"
RYUUSEI: "It's natto.... it's good. Try it and stop complaining."
RED: "Naytu? Well, whatever. It might be ok.... So, hey, where were you last night? I thought you were gonna meet me at Hikawa last night."
RYUUSEI: "Uh, something came up. You see, a young lady of a spec-"
RED: "AH! A lady, eh? You smooth talkin' bastard!...... uh.... so, where th' hell is she?"
RYUUSEI: "In the spare room in the back... but I have to ex-"
RED: "RYUU! Y' mean you ALREADY sacked her?! You pervert! Geez! You coulda' atleast waited a week!"
RYUUSEI: "WOULD YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND LISTEN FOR A MINUTE!?!"
RED: "......... .....Sure, ok."
Ryuusei explains about Swift, and the meeting at the tavern.
RED: ".........ooooooh, I get it...... Whoa, you mean this is drow food?! Is it poisonous?!"
RYUUSEI: "Stop that! You're talking about her like she's an animal!"
RED: "She's not? Whoa, you mean..... a drow is a person?"
RYUUSEI: "Somewhat, yes. I'll say that a drow is no less or no more of a person than I am."
RED: ".............got anything stronger than this tea?"
RYUUSEI: "Would you pay th' hell attention!?"
Red continues stuffing his face, as Ryuusei goes back to collect Swift.
RYUUSEI: "It should be ok for you to meet Red now. Come on out."

Yoh watches amused, as Red rambles on. He liked Red, it was entertaining having him around. Yawning, he leaned back in his chair, his hands on his head.
Yoh: "See? It is good. Otherwise, you wouldn't be eating like a goblin."

Swift listens to Ryuusei talking to Red. It seemed to her that he was a bit condescending toward other races, and of this she did not approve. However, when Ryuusei came to the back and assured her it would be alright to come out, she followed him with blind faith out into the dining area. As she stood there in front of the rude man waiting for some kind of comment, he simply stared at her in awe as if she were some kind of exotic animal at a zoo. Her eyes changed to a dark violet as she furrowed her brows....
Not wanting to offend a friend of Ryuusei and Yoh's, she politely told him her true full name and awaited for his response. Typically, one would be polite enough to respond with his or her name in return, but this time Red just kept staring at her. It was as if he was thinking 'wow, this creaure can speak!'. Deeply offended, Swift turned back to Ryuusei.
SWIFT: *trying to hold back tears* "Forgive me for this sir, I will be outside for a few moments..."
She bowed her head slightly toward Ryuusei, a sign of respect, and then to Yoh. She merely glared at Red with a small amount of disdain before going out and sitting on a step in the front of the dojo.

RED: "..........hey, who was that?"
Red sips the tea a bit more.
RED: "That th' girl you were talkin' about? She looks kinda' funny. Well, I guess no weirder than you look."
Red eats a bit more, then sips the tea again.
RED: ".......so, what's new?"
RYUUSEI: ".........?"
RED: ".....what?"
RYUUSEI: "Perhaps you should work on your manners a little."
RED: "WHAT TH' HELL'D I DO?! She left! Not me!"
RYUUSEI: "No, nothing. Nevermind."
RED: "If y' tell her to get over that whole "rudeness" thing she's got, she might be ok..."
RYUUSEI: "Yeh.... well.... I'm stepping out for some fresh air."
RED: "Yeh, hey! Bring me back somethin' with a bit more kick than this tea!"
Ryuusei walks outside with Swift.
RYUUSEI: "You have my apologies."

Swift quickly wipes away her tears hoping that he didn't notice, and responds with a broken voice...
SWIFT: "There is no need for you to apologize. It was not you who was rude to me, it was that man. I should think I would be used to this kind of reaction, for many times have I seen it, but it stabs just as deep every time."
She looked straight into Ryuusei's violet eyes, so similar to hers, and saw such kindness and compassion there. She realized at that moment that this was a man who knew exactly how she felt. He was a man who had been through all the things that she had been through, and, for the first time in her life, she found someone she could relate to.
SWIFT: "Thank you. Words cannot describe the happiness you have made me feel this day. More happiness than I have seen in years."
She continued looking into his eyes, which seemed to be drawing her in. She came to her senses and, not wanting him to think her rude for staring, turned her gaze toward the sky...

RYUUSEI: "Do yourself a favor. Don't let Red's personality bother you. He's a good person at heart. But his own contempt for the unknown race is with just cause. Several years ago, this very village was destroyed by a half-demon, and Red, a young lad at the time, witnessed more carnage than any one person should ever have to see. He hates demons and half-demons with a passion that cannot be described. I gained his friendship through a long and tedious process. You can do it to if you desire. Besides, he's eased up on newcomers as of late."
Ryuusei heads to the door, heading back in. He signals Swift to follow.

Swift follows him back into the dojo. For a fleeting moment, she felt as though she would follow him anywhere...but that was a rediculous thought...she hardly knew him.
Once inside, she stood in the dining area and listened quietly while the three men talked.

Red looks the girl over once more.
RED: "So you're a.... what was it again?"
RYUUSEI: "Drow. Dark Elf."
RED: "What th' hell's an elf?"
RYUUSEI: "You're a demon slayer... you travel all over.. and you have yet to see an elf....am I right?"
RED: "I don't know what th' hell an elf looks like! Geez, gimme a beak!"
RYUUSEI: "They tend to have pointed ears, be withing a certain height not going below 5'5, and not exceeding 6'. They are master Archers also."
RED: "Well, YOU have pointed ears... are you an elf?"
RYUUSEI: "No. Don't ask stupid questions."
RED: "So, an elf an' a demon ain't the same then, right?"
RYUUSEI: "Right. An elf is nothing like a demon."
RED: "So killin' them is bad, right?"
RYUUSEI: "Assumably, yes."
RED: "....... oh......"
RYUUSEI: "....what?"
RED: "Er, hey...uh... Swift.... do elves usually wander around forests and stuff?"
RYUUSEI: "Hm?"

Swift was disgusted with what the implications were, but replied anyway.
SWIFT: "YES, some do...wood elves, a very PEACEFUL race of elves...."
Swift was embarassed when Ryuusei mentioned elves height...she was only a pitiful five foot one inch, and had always been criticized by her former drow aqcuaintances for it.
SWIFT: to red - "You should consider your prey more carefully..."

Red looks to Swift.
RED: "Hm... I think I only took one of 'em out.... but he started it. He tried to take my shield!"
RYUUSEI: "Oh yes.. I remember you telling me about that.... so you killed an elf?"
RED: "Hey, HE started it. Th' red-eyed devil!"
RYUUSEI: ".....elves don't... have red eyes."
RED: "Really? Hm... but they do have green skin, right?"
RYUUSEI: "....no."
RED: "Ok, ok... so they all have dark skin? If that's so, why'd you call her a dark elf, instead of JUST an elf?"
RYUUSEI: "Elves do not have green skin. Just leave it at that."
RED: "Yeh yeh, whatever.... "

Swift was slightly annoyed, but releived that the creature he'd killed was not an elf. From the description, she'd have to guess he was fighting a goblin or some kind of lesser demon.
SWIFT: "Just to make this clear for you, a surface elf is very kind and gentle being. Their tall height however, is a myth. They can just as likely be short as tall....as you can see.... They are weary of strangers, and very good judges of character. Some seem to be able to "read hearts" so it is said. It's as if they can look at you and tell what your intentions are. Dark Elves, or Drow, on the other hand are an evil and malicious race, bent on the desire for power, with myself as an exception. That is why I have abandoned my people and their ways. I am not as they are. "

RED: "...........eh, sounds reasonable enough."
RYUUSEI: "Well?"
RED: "Well what?"
RYUUSEI: "Have you encountered any?"
RED: "Any what?"
RYUUSEI: "ELVES!"
RED: "Where?"
RYUUSEI: "............. anyway....."
Red notices the scimitar.
RED: "Hey, nice knife. Looks dull though. You need to sharpen it."
Red calls it a knife because he had never seen a Scimitar before, nor had he known that such a sword existed.
