Chaonis didn't look happy, planting his hands on his hips as he stood up. He put his leg on the log, tilting his head at her. He clicked his tongue behind his teeth and laughed, offering her a shrug of his shoulders and a scoff of a laugh.
"I don't really want to know, no. Must suck, though, being such a useless Senshi that you can't even take pride in telling your comrades what you are. I mean. I understand why you'd want to keep something like that secret. I'm not gonna judge you." He spoke in a condescending, teasing way, emphasizing that he wasn't judging with a very judgmental tone.
He considered her question. He had never thought about it that way, but the way she drew it made it sound like a really good idea. Dragging monsters toward girls who would then desperately need his help? It would work best without them actually being senshi as well, but hey, he bet he could modify the idea to make some cash and save the 'right' kind of people for his own gain.
Not that he had done it on purpose this time. And what were the chances of finding a youma before it was attacking anyone, and then finding someone worth leading it to?
Sounded like a lot of work.
"I didn't lead it to you, just so you know. I was just following you because you looked scared, and I wanted to see if you would run. I wasn't going to attack you or anything. I didn't know there was a monster waiting for you, and I did jump in to help you even though I didn't have to. So, you know." He sauntered toward her, noting her stance. "You get hurt?"

"Oh, I figured you wouldn't want me stealing your thunder, making giant holes in the park and all," Asclepius sighed with a shrug, keeping her arms crossed. "Would you have liked needing my help anyway?" Ordinarily, things like this did not irk her too much, but with all of this senshi stuff rather suddenly dumped on her shoulders, it was a bit easier to get a rise out of Asclepius. Outside of combat, though, she could at least begin to relax, especially with how comically arrogant this guy was acting.
She half-turned away, then recalled her senshi cell phone. Taking it out, the girl flipped it open and pointed it at Chaonis as he finally approached. He could still be useful, at least; he was certainly powerful. "Got hurt last time," she replied, frowning and keeping one arm folded across her chest while holding the phone up with the other hand. With the fight-or-flight excitement over with, her body was aching again.

Chaonis laughed at that, though it might have been left over from the fight adrenaline. Either way, he was laughing, and that was better than nothing. He seemed amused, not combative, and once he was close enough he clapped her hard on the shoulder in a sudden turn of mood.
"You're right, I wouldn'ta wanted you helping me, anyway. Would not look good on my Man Card, I think. But hey. We're focusing on the negative. We still killed that thing, however it got there."
It was a truce. She blamed him for bringing it to her, and it was maybe more like he had brought her to it inadvertently, and he had made up for it by trapping and beating it down, with her help. So they were mostly even, and he liked how easy it was to ruffle her. He didn't want to drive her off completely, and thought it might be fun to fight with her again. Fight a youma with her again, on her side, he meant.
Mostly.
When she put his information in her phone, he did the same, nodding his head.
"Well, you need to stick with people who won't get you hurt, then. You didn't use your power, so, what, you don't have one that hits anything? So stick with me. I hit everything." He grinned.

She regarded Chaonis with scientific curiosity as he suddenly seemed to mellow out. He seemed almost tolerable this way.
Maybe it was best that he had been nearby if that youma had been in the area anyway. Asclepius was not confident that she would have been able to beat it on her own. Chaonis was certainly useful in that regard.
"You certainly did hit everything," she replied, not quite sounding impressed. "I'm sure that would give you bonus points back on your 'man-card' if you ever did need my help."
She hesitated a moment, then went ahead to tell him, "I am Senshi of Medicine. So if you need my help, it's basically my job." The girl sounded perhaps a bit unhappy about this, but moreso frustrated with herself than with him now. "And I will let you know if I need a tree removed, or my yard dug up, or anything."

Chaonis always had ulterior motives. Despite not being a very 'thoughtful' guy, he did switch gears into 'observant'. He saw that she was getting frustrated with him, to the point where the fun might stop, and he hadn't wanted to make her run off.
Who would he stalk through the night when he was bored some other time? Or some equally unfriendly trick. It seemed she had been chosen as his newest target. Which also meant she could be his friend, if she had it in her to put up with him.
He grinned at her comments. Despite her lack of tone, he took it as a compliment. He had hit everything, and he did it damn well. Damn well.
Lifting his eyebrows a bit when she finally told him what she was the senshi of, he nodded and wondered how useful that might be for her. The senshi of medicine, huh? Did that mean she could heal people? That would be a good ally to have. He laughed and waved his hand.
"Alright, then, Miss Cake," he said, wondering if she would catch the joke there, or if she was unfamiliar with the song, "try not to get eaten by anything on your way home, then. See ya later."

"Good bye," she replied without enthusiasm. Judging by how Asclepius' eyelid twitched, she had caught a meaning in what Chaonis had called her, but it was most likely not the one that he had meant. Crossing her arms again, she watched him go, then continued on her way home.
