Thud Thud.
His body bounces about in the crowd as though he was the little silver ball in a pinball game.
" What is it with you people?! "
Thud
His body his bounced back, sent into a turn in the other direction; he would've stumbled..
" Gch-! "
He stops in his tracks, immediately noting the man in nearly full Roman/Greek style armor.
" Ehh... Sorry about that. "
Keiji had picked a bad place to visit... But he was hungry. Broke too; so that didn't make much sense to come here in the first place.

Shock appeared on the teal beauty that was Nocere's countanence then in seconds she laughed.
"I did not mean to insult. I meant that you would fit because you were strong and could survive." She lightened her laugh after a couple of people bumped into her right side. A quick sigh and she continued. "You are not ug-," The pinball of a man stopped in front of them and Nocere moved her white pupils toward him.
She turned her face back to Phylas after giving the man a look of confusion, he was not talking to Nocere and didn't seem to notice her. Who would? She was standing by the man that reflected light from almost all parts of his body.
She politely answered Phylas question at the same moment the man was apologizing. "My boots, the fuel in them, is what you are hearing."

Phylas merely looked at the clumsy man who had nearly bumped into him with a raised brow, the Spartan had no sympathy for a clumsy man who couldn't navigate a crowd. He pointed the tip of the spear towards the stranger.
"Learn how to walk."
Phylas shrugged, shaking his head and wishing that idiots wouldn't bother trying to talk to him.
"Why is there fuel in your boots?"
Keeping the stranger at bay, Phylas turned his head only slightly towards Nocere. The plates of armor on his cheeks and the nose bar coming from his forehead did little to instruct his vision. A helmet that would protect him, while obsrtucting vision, wouldn't do him much good in arena combat.
However, the red feathers and the shining effect, seemed to please the audience.

As soon as the spear would be pointed; it would be very most likely that the people in the area would hear a loud ping. This was because, as soon as the assumed threat came toward him; his thumb would flick his katana out of his sheath and intercept the other weapon. Keiji's left hand (The one that flicked the sword in the first place would immediately be on the hilt of the katana.
" What was that for? "

"For my jets." She said it as if he should have known, like all people had jets in their boots.
When the strange man pulled out his katana Nocere's hair stood on end again. They would start shaking slightly and she would take a step back.
Some people stopped to stare at the three, but continued on shortly after as if this sort of thing happened regularly.

The spear wouldn't budge, as Phylas would only give him a weird look. The gladiator was fuking strong, obviously. He merely turned to Nocere and forgot about the man with the eastern weapon and lack of intelligence.
Drawing a katana on a man with a bladed shield, and going to intercept a spear, that thing could have been shoved in his face along the straight blade while the sheild came in for a bash.
Most novice move he'd ever seen a fighter do, and then to pull a weapon that requires broad strokes when they are in a crowd.
He rolled his eyes and looked at the woman with a peculiar look.
"Should we be on our way?"
Phylas motioned Northeast to the Arena with a shrug in his shoulders.

" Man. You're annoying. "
Though it was most likely true the large gladiator was thinking the same thing; he thought that it was him being rude, and not himself.
" Tch... Just because you're big, doesn't mean you're better. "

6'1 with barely half an inch added by his sandles, Phylas hardly considered himself big with all the combatants he'd met in the arena. He turned back from Nocere with a sigh.
"Kid, I am standing here talking with a lady. You almost bump into me because you are a clumsy fool."
Phylas was beginning to loose his patience, still pointing that spear at him.
"You aren't worth my time. I suggest that you move on."
The emotionless tone of his voice, and the glare of Phylas' eyes was enough to make a typical mortal man back down. Strength radiated from him, along with all those beams of light from the diamond coated edging on his sheild and the large pike coming from the center of it.
Even the hilts coming above each of his shoulders, made Phylas look even that more deadly.

There was really no smart move to make now. In close range with a rather versatile spear pointed at him, with a spikey sheild at his left. After even if her moved to left, out of the way of both things; it doesn't stop the gladiator from using the hand holding the spear... Or his legs for the matter.
Keiji was smart enough to not start a fight in a position where he'd lose right away.
" Hmph. I'm going to see you again."
With an inhuman agility as well as coordination unseen before, the man seemd to slide inbetween everyone in the crowd as though he was a gust of wind blowing through them. He would be out of sight before they knew it.

"I look forward too it."
Coward.
Phylas thought about the scrawny man with the Eastern blade, going back to Nocere. He hoped they would be able to get too the arena soon.
The Gladiator was far more equipped to be doing fighting there, then in the middle of a crowd.
Here, Phylas was likely to shred as many innocents as oppenants.

The scrawny man that had bothered Phylas was a bit cliched for Nocere's liking. As he moved on the girl bid him a silent farewell and watched him leave. After a few seconds he was invisible, camouflaging into the crowd.
Her hair rattled down and she soon looked towards the Gladiator to her right.
"Can we go now?" One more glance towards the dispersing crowd and she started aching to get to the arena.

"Please."
Phylas began walking through the dispersing crowd into the streets of Latent, knowing only what direction the arena was by the position of the sun. His black hair absorbed the sun on his neck, but the dark tan barely felt it.
"By the way. Are you a fighter as well?"
Phylas asked in mild curiousity, considering his travel partner was also wanting to go to the Arena.

"You could say that."
Nocere zigzaged past two characters that seemed to be in a deep conversation. She heard something of Heaven and reigning champions returning. She gave a slight 'hmph' then put her attention back to her companion.
"What weapons do you use?"

"My Xyston War Spear and the Hoplon shield are my primaries."
Phylas heard something of a tournament, and shrugged his shoulders. He'd only been in one tournament before, and it was a bore. He had to continually dodge fireballs and the like. Not his idea of fun.
"The Lakonian and Kopsis swords across my shoulders also come in handy."
Phylas was also not hesitant to nod his head, showing a gleaming pike sticking out from the red feathers that could obviously be used as a weapon.
"I also have these recurved daggers in my greaves that take away magical, and paranormal powers. I recieved them after almost being killed in one tournament by them."
Phylas mentioned.

"Good to know." The alien sucked on a sweet smile as she looked at the swords that stuck out from Phylas' back.
Nocere kept her weapons, much like her scars, concealed beneath her clothing. Inside her boots were bone, double edged, daggers. In the back of her pants were two sickles, the only thing you could see were the handles that stuck out slightly.
Up ahead Nocere saw a large building and guessed it was the arena. She pointed ahead with a teal colored finger. "Our destination?"
