Tricks, more tricks. His eyes flicked to the side, ready to dart after what he thought was a flash of white, however reconsidered. She wasn't coming out. Perhaps because this was his darkness? He slipped back into the fog, soundlessly, almost weightlessly. His black eyes scanned the area until he crouched, making himself level to the ground, where the fog did not meet. He was looking for her feet. His tail kept lashing, sending some fog aside to help him.
If he didn't find her, he knew she would surely find him, again. He was very amused. A vixen that could keep up, even a few steps ahead of him? How remarkable, and she was obviously younger than him. When would he stop admiring her tricks and deceits, her quick steps of lies and mysteries? He wanted to tag her, he wanted to best her, but he had little hope. Well, right now was the learning process. Learning how she moved. Learning how she tricked and deceived.
"You are remarkable, Lamia. Though you do not need me to tell you that." He mused lightly, sure she would hear it anyway.

Lamia felt the smallest of smiles twitch on her lips, but let it fade. She supposed it was pleasant to be told you were good at something every once in awhile, but for now it merely raised memories she preferred to suppress, especially in corilation with what she was doing.
She allowed herself to appear for a moment, and felt another smile try to force it's way to her lips at the sight of Sin crouched down on the ground. An interesting technique, and one that would probably aid him in keeping and eye on her if at least not being able to touch her.
She charged straight at the male, neither jumping nor swerving like she had been doing up until now; it was a burst of pure speed. There were several possibilities for her next move in her head, and she waited to see if anything Sin did would clue her in to her own move.

He dodged, quick at dodging and with a smirk. His body barely made it, surprised by her speed and yet managing to avoid it. His body lashed out, his tail moving to try and touch her as he began to fall into a roll. Wether he touched her or not, well, he wouldn't know at the moment. He rolled to the side, abruptly standing and crouching once more, spotting her feet. He leapt at her, however not idiotically. He moved to her side, slipped over to her back, and swept his tail, attempting to knock her feet out from under her.
She was fast, but if he could immobilize her than she would be useless with speed for just a second. However, he doubted this would work. He was pleased already with the trick of learning where her feet were, however, what could he do to touch her?

Rather than dance away from Sin she began to mirror him. As he lurched off to the side she shadowed the movement, keeping just enough distance between them that he couldn't touch her. With that room there was more than enough time to dodge should he choose to lunge forward.
Already she had cycled through several different methods that she used with her agility, trying to find a style that seemed to fit best. A small part of her mind wondered when Sin would decide to give up. She highly doubted he'd manage to tag her, on purpose, this time around. He didn't know her games nearly well enough.

Sin smirked, not annoyed at all that he couldn't touch her. It was expected. She was faster. Not stronger, but faster, and truly he was having fun with this game. He stopped mid lunge, feet digging into the ground. He raised his head, smile returning, as always. "You are an exceptional foe." He mused, tail flicking. "Perhaps, Lamia, we could do this again? I'm sure one day I will be able to tag you, with enough practice." Ah, was he truly showing an interest? Perhaps. Yes.
He smiled at her, tail flicking to the side. "Of course, vixen, that is your choice afterall." He mused lightly, sitting on his haunches.

Lamia broke off with a short whirl that was as graceful as it was fast, coming to a stop to sit a couple feet further from Sin. After all personal space issues could be easily avoided if one just took a few precautions, and neither fox knew each other well enough to guess how the other took to being approached.
"Perhaps. How do you think you would find me? I've never stayed in a place with any real degree of permanence since I was a kit." A light breeze, barely a whisper of one really, attempted to pull at the fog. It paused for a moment to futilely try to lift the ribbon of her corset and gave up, unsatisfied. She flicked her tail to lightly curl it around her feet

Sin folded his tail under him, shoulders rolling. She had a point, how would Sin locate the vixen that was most likely the manifestation of the wind itself. His ear flicked, considering his options. Stick around her? For what purpose other than to get to know her? No, this was Lamia, he doubted she would agree to such a trivial idea to a male she hardly knew. Neither would he, now that he thought about it.
"Perhaps we can schedule to meet again soon?" He mused, tail flicking to the side. He could meet her once in awhile, and if she wasn't a lying, tricking vixen like some he had met before perhaps he would offer to travel alongside her. Right now there was little to trust, and this vixen, while sharp as a tack and he was finding pleasant to be around, could be a liar. Then again, she had no reason to trust him either, right?
Oh, though he hoped she wasn't a liar.

"Perhaps," Lamia repeated, tilting her head in a manner that suggested she was at least a bit intrigued. She had a very good sense of direction, once she took it to mind to remember a specific place, so it wouldn't be hard to find the area again.
"But you've made me curious. You don't seem the type that goes around socializing, so I must have done something to....intrigue you." She put a touch of emphasis on the second to last word, turning it into something like a caress. Oh yes, just because she was dark didn't mean she couldn't tease when she wanted.

Sin shrugged lazily, eyes rolling to look at her, cheshire cat grin widening. "Perhaps." He echoed, though not mockingly. He debated answering her question, shaking his head throughly
"Yes, you have." He mused, recognizing her tease. He didn't respond much, calculating her responses instead. He suddenly rose, brushing against her. She hadn't snapped the last two times, so he dared to do it again. "Its rare to find a vixen as amusing as yourself." He remarked, settling onto his haunches.
"It's rarer to meet someone that isn't annoying, as well."

"Oh," Lamia asked, a hint of curiousity infused in the question. "Is that all, I simply amuse you? Or I just do not bore you, if saying I amuse you is going too far." It wasn't like she didn't find Sin a bit interesting herself, but a good deal of the interest was due to some of the.....mental reactions she had felt taking place without any command, more than any real interest in Sin himself.
At this point, at least. It was only fair given she didn't know much about him yet. Being a decent fighter warrented respect, not interest on Lamia's part.

Oh, how smart. He was not romantically entranced with her, that would come in time. No, she merely left a impression, of sorts. His tail flicked, eyes narrowing. "You do not bore me, yet." He said, pleased with his answer. He shrugged once more, cracking his shoulders as he did. Ah, questions questions, she was full of them, wasn't she?
"Would you take my offer, Lamia?"

"Hmmm, let us say I am considering the matter veeery carefully," Lamia responded, flicking her tail behind her as she stood and slowly began to circle Sin. She was looking him over in a curious sort of way, as though expecting to see something but not really sure where to look for it.
"Tell me, why should a demon take an interest in you," she asked with an suddenness that was almost abrupt given her quieter manner of speaking previously. "Demon's are cold things with no hearts of their own and no interest in anything but their own pleasures. What is it that would cause a demon to take a....benevolant, interest in you?"
There again, the subject that intrigued Lamia the most, for it was the most baffling to her. She had not lied when she described a demon, because that was how her inner demon was. Not even those who had raised and cared for her since birth had bought favor from it. What made this particular male so special? Perhaps because she tried to separate herself so much from that side of her mind, it was why she could not tell what it was thinking.

He was not unnerved, watching her with slightly interest, letting her circle. He kept his eyes on her, watching her body language warily, making sure she would not lunge for any reason. He had one simple answer. He was not the kind to explain himself, not the kind to beg or whimper, merely the kind to either demand or let life roll on in its particular picky ways.
"Stick around a bit and maybe you'll find out." He said, ears flicking slightly. If she wanted an answer she would have to find it for herself, he was not here to provide them for her. He was here to play games of trying to catch the demon, to train and figure her out little by little. She was amusing, she was fun for the moment, but he was not going to try and convince her to return one day.

"Hmmm, is mystery yet another persona you like to cultivate?" The last sentence was spoken very near to Sin's ear, for as he'd given his answer as she was circling behind him, and allowed her time to come up close to his side to whisper her own observation/question.
She moved away as soon as she finished speaking, back to a distance that was considered the proper amount of personal space given between acquantainces.
Lamia still wasn't sure what to make of Sin, and wondered if he was like that on purpose. One did not build layers of personalities and attitudes unless one was either hiding something....or a clown. She felt same to assume it wasn't the latter. What Sin could be hiding though, she couldn't guess. There were, literally, thousands of possibilities and reasons.

Sin twitched his ear when she whispered in it, turning backwards to reward her with a curling smile that held no response to her question other than that cat like grin. He let her move away, leaning back upwards with a jerk. Mystery? He hadn't heard someone define him as such before. Monster. Demon. b*****d. Killer. Murderer. Those were the titles he had acquired over the years. He didn't properly reply to this, because he had no answer. He didn't find enjoyment in this "persona", it merely was him. Why would he give her anything more from him when they barely knew one another?
"Deflecting my questions seems to be a trick you love to use." He said, dark eyes watching her lazily. He was doing the same, it seemed both were playing this silly little game. Well, maybe in due time he would reveal his mysteries to her, but right now, well, she had to earn it. Probably vice versa, as well.
