⊰Athrun predicted the gunfire...he was heading in a straight line afterall. However, he had grown to like Dante, and this whole situation could turn out in his favor. Adjusting his body at the last minute, Athrun felt the load of bullets pierce his skin as his attack was suddenly stopped. Coming to a halt and backing back, Athrun felt several bullets inside his body, none of them however had hit his vitals, mostly his arms and legs, and the one on his right mid section. Holding his hand up, Athrun kept his blade sheathed. "Alright Dante...you win, that was quite the battle you put up," he told him. "There's no way I can keep up with your speed, and I see that continuing this is rather a waste," he lied. Had this been a more serious battle, Athrun would have blown him up already...however this was all part of his plan. With Dante going back to Fenrir, Athrun and Pronta would seem weak, not a challenge for Fenrir. The man was all about the challenge, and if it wasn't there he wouldn't bother with it. Not only that, but if Dante went back to Fenrir with a loss, Fenrir could well possibly kill Dante for showing weakness. "Not to mention I need to get these bullets out in order to not risk infection...my sword if you please?" Athrun smiled, breathing heavily as blood trickled down his body and unto the ground.

⊰The servants came in and grabbed Athrun's sword for him. "Come with me to my office..." Athrun told him as he motioned for him to follow. As he walked through the palace and entered his office, Athrun sat down, nurses already waiting for him. Sitting down at his desk, Athrun painfully removed his shirt, bullet holes in several parts of his body as the nurses began removing the bullets out. They didn't penetrate too deep due to his tough skin, but it still hurt like hell. "Close the door please," he told Dante, since he was the one that wanted the privacy. What could Fenrir want now? ⊱

Pierce Morbus • • • •

Pierce watched the two end their battle and meander to another room. With a cocked eyebrow, he silenced his sitar upon their egress. "Well...that was slightly abrupt. But then, there's no knowing how long that had been going on before we got here." He shrugged, and strolled into the center of where they'd found themselves. "Ah...this is quite a place. Fellow could get used to this kind of scenery. Hold on..." He looked around for a few moments, walked back and forth, then in a large circle, and finally stopped back next to Archades. "Yep, I'm used to it. Folks, I want a palace. Couldn't you see me in my own palace? Because I sure can." With a brief laugh, making it difficult to tell if he was joking or not, he swaggered over to a wall, leaning against it and strumming a more calm tune now that no conflicts were raging. He smirked and looked up to his companions. "So, Bunny has found her dearly beloved, and it seems we've come upon our new teacher, eh 'Caster?" He chuckled lightly. "Whaddya think should be done while we wait here?"

While isolated in her room, Tsubasa heard the sounds of battle suddenly disappear. Apparently the fight had ended, but who the victor was the girl didn't know.

{I'll go ahead and check,} Sora commented as he made to leap down from Feather's shoulder.
Feather used her hand to keep Sora from moving and replied somewhat shakily, {No, it's alright. The fight's done so....} The girl was obviously not alright even with the fight being over. She hoped that no one she knew had been hurt in the process or at least not killed but... who knew. However, she also knew that she couldn't always be hiding behind others.
Sora sighed as he replied, {Fine, but let me in through the door first.}
{Deal,} was the bard's short reply as she stepped through the door of her room and then briskly walked towards the general direction that she had heard the battle in.

Several questions later, the girl had pinpointed the room she wanted and also gained a reasonable amount of information about the fight, including who it involved. Hearing other voices in it talking casually about nothing that would need a private audience, the girl casually opened the door a bit and let her guardian in first.

To the people inside the room, the first thing they would see was a little, white furball scampering into the room from the slightly opened door and then surveying the room briefly. He looked more like a pet than any type of guardian, what with his round, red eyes and adorable size. What exactly he was was kind of hard to pinpoint. He looked a bit like a rabbit in ways and a bit like a dog in other ways. Considering the wide range of appearances that dragons have, he could even be said to have a slight resemblance to dragons. As if to cement his harmlessness, Sora turned back to the door after looking around a bit and let out a happy, "Nya," as if calling to someone.

After the call, Feather entered the room. During Sora's short survey, she had been provided with all of the details she needed to know to make up a flawless act. There was nothing sinister behind the motives for the act. All it was for was to hide just how shocked she would be thanks to the copious amount of blood splattered across the room. However, the girl couldn't act too nonchalant or else it would seem abnormal. All she wanted to do was appear like a normal human girl while not completely freaking out about the results of a fight.

The girl bard, as could be seen from the lute she carried on her back, entered the room with a carefree smile and a cheerful, "Oh, there you were Sora, so is this where the ki-". Both the smile and the question faded into silence as Tsubasa's eyes traveled from her summon to the rest of the room. The eyes widened in the perfect expression of shock as her hands slipped off the door that she had been widening to get through. Slowly, with her arms hanging limp at her side, the young girl, who looked around 8 or 9, entered the room. The expression of shock remained in her face, now mixed in with just the right amounts of fear and confusion, her black eyes clearly showing concern. Inside, of course, the girl was completely frozen and her reaction was much more than what she let on but Sora's report before she actually saw the real thing and her lifetime experience of acting and lying led her easily through the needed motions. "Wh-what... what happened?" the young girl asked the others in the room, whose lack of wounds would reasonably allow her to guess that they weren't involved in the fight. Sora, meanwhile, had climb-hopped without a worry to his summoner's shoulder and was now playing with some of her blue hair, batting it around as if it was a toy of sorts..

⊰"Of course...Nocturne is a land of many dark creatures. It's either be strong or be dead there," Athrun told him. They were indeed stronger, for now. Athrun had to continue playing the ruse of the weak man. To do so would mean Fenrir not even bothering with his nation. But what exactly was he getting? Why was he asking questions about his citizens? "I believe there are people like that everywhere. I'm sure there are people like that in Lumira. Why do you ask?" Athrun asked simply. ⊱

⊰"Don't tell me you believe in that nonsense," Athrun laughed along Dante. "The whole thing is ridiculous. All of us have sinful natures, but in the end they are us. To think that they have been personified into living beings, its all a little farfetched for me," Athrun responded simply. ⊱

⊰"No I don't," Athrun told him. In all his time as being the Captain, and now King, he had yet to meet anyone who holds one of these sins and he was positive that even if they were real, there were none in Pronta. ⊱

"So, a fight?" the girl asked with worry, "B-between who?". Really, the girl wanted to continue from there but she felt that doing so would be strange and out of the personality she had chosen. Right now, the personality she had created for herself now served another role of helping her keep her actions in check.

After her quesiton, Feather then answered the other bard's, "Um, and, erm, I came to report on a mission to the king and also to see if I could take an exam to rank up…." Her eyes were now focused completely on the dark face of Pierce, who's name she still didn't know, so that she didn't need to see the garish blood.
