Welcome to Gaia! ::

"... Not space, but I do have what amounts to a Spirit of the Earth that I can call to my aid if I need it." Leucite said in reply. He'd spooked her a bit, and he should have been more cautious about that. "I can... show it to you if you like."

Iudicael would listen to him of course, that wasn't the issue, the youma didn't really balk him anymore unless a senshi or knight was involved and even then it didn't take him much to exert his full control over the youma. "But I am thinking you might have reached your maximum belief level today... best not to push it."

He didn't want to scare her. "But if you insist, I will show it to you. Or we can save it for another day. I can give you... a number to call, a friend of mine that will get in touch with me and let me know where to meet you. If you are still curious..."

"If you insist..." Leucite said with a breathless sigh. He honestly did not want to do this, teleporting had been bad enough, summoning Iudicael now, so soon afterward. That was going to hurt.

But the lady had requested it and Leucite TRIED to be a gentleman. Tried to, being the key words there.

He focused his will on Iudicael in the Rift and with force of will called it forth into being next to him, his hand instantly going to the top of the youma's head. "Iudicael, sit."

The youma sat, red glowing eyes watching Imara as it's fangs leaked spit and it's bladed tail curled in beside it. Leucite rested his hand on its head, using the youma somewhat for balance as he regained his energy, trying to not let Imara see how much the action of bringing Iudicael into the world had drained him.

"Here it is."

"Iudiacel, stay," Leucite said in a voice that dripped with command and control. The youma froze in place, glowing eyes locked on the human female as she moved closer to it. It's fangs continued to drip drool but it did not move, it might as well be a statue as far as any observer was concerned. Leucite took his hand off the youma then, straightening up as he debated ingesting one of the energy orbs he had secreted in his coat pocket - but thought against it. That would only serve to raise more questions than he really wanted to answer right that moment.

Maybe another day.

"Tamed it myself, by hand." He said with a laugh. "Iudicael tried to take a good chunk out of my arm but I managed to win out in the end. It's jaw... is pretty damn strong."

He patted the youma lightly on the head. "But it works well with my fighting style so I can't complain."

"My fists several times between the eyes, it decided it might be a good idea to listen after that, and it bound itself to my will." Leucite said. It was a hard... thing to describe. But Iudicael felt as much a part of him as his own arm when it was out and about, he had but to exert his will on the beast and it listened the vast majority of the time. It was almost as if he'd stripped Iudicael of anything resembling free will and turned it into an extension of himself. But again, hard to put into words.

"It keeps others pinned in place for me until I get to them, I'm a close ranged fighter - I like to be up in the thick of it, and Iudicael clamps down with those jaws it has and keeps people locked in place."

"It's basically a walking bear trap. It usually comes with me on patrols but some knights I revel in my old styles, so it varies."

"Naw, I'll leave that to people who can actually aim. I'm not a bad shot, but I'd rather see the light go out when I take my opponents down you know?" Leucite chuckled, trying to avoid answering her next question, but knowing it would have to be addressed.

"Teleporting and calling upon Iudicael take energy - my energy." He motioned to the youma. "I have to pull it from the Rift into this world and it's... somewhat of a drain on my resources. I'll be perfectly fine in a bit, I just have to recharge my reserves."

Or borrow from someone else's but I'm not doing that in front of you. Not now, not yet.

Best to let her go then. With a nod he said quietly. "If you ever are interested, I patrol this part of town quite a bit, just come looking for me." He chuckled. 'Who knows, maybe we'll meet again."

Bowing his head then, he clicked his tongue. "Iudicael, come," With that he took a step forward, then two, then he jogged into the darkness of the alley, taking the back route out of the area.

She could do as she wished. But perhaps he had planted a seed.
