Duellist "Ah, I never said I doubted it." Indeed, the assassin had not, if the warrior would recall. "However, by attacking me in battle you prove nothing. I am a vampire, an assassin. A creature of the night. And while this is night... nevertheless, your skills are infinitely more prepared for this than I am. I... well, how would you like it if you were laid down for 12 hours because some treacherous b*****d had stabbed you in the back with a holy dagger? It's the reverse of that situation. There is no honour in such combat." Duellist arched an eyebrow. "And without honour, what are we? I'm afraid that your weapon, composed as it is of pure spiritual energy, would do a great deal of damage to me if I allowed you to. The most I could do, since I don't want to kill you, would be stab you a little bit, maybe break a few bones. And you're a demon, you'd heal relatively fast. I'm afraid that if you're going to insist on challenging someone outside of your field just to prove that you're the best, you'll have to do it my way." He narrowed his eyes. "And if you're trying to challenge me to all out combat, I'm afraid I will refuse very harshly." The sneer became a smile very suddenly. "But come now! What is one riddle contest in your long career? Humour an old man." ~~ Bertram now knew something was wrong. He just couldn't put his finger on it. "Um... err... well... yes, but.. .the master told me not to, so..." he didn't know. I mean, he did like the bat-girl. On the other hand, he also liked his essence intact. "Um... I guess I do."
He paused for a long wgile, rubbing his chin while he seemed to be leaning down on the weapon he had conjured with chakra and a simple coat. "I don't want to become the best assassin. I don't want to become the best warrior.. I want to prove that I'm the most talented in actual battle. That I could go up against any class, race, or species. Although there are those who outclass a demon, such as.. An angel who could easily slay a creature of darkness with a single swoop of the weapon. I believe, that even at that rate, I could win with sheer physichal abilities." It was rather hard to explain, even for the young teenager. It showed on his face that he was having a hard time explaining what he was attempting to achieve. However, he hoped his statement got his point across.
"Sure. Okay. I guess I could try to solve a riddle of two.""Welll, I've been thinking Mr. Wraith.." She would state shyly, refusing to make eye contact. She would simply keep her hands folded behind her back, and draw in the dusty ground with the toe of her shoe. "Maybe.." She would trail off, trying to picture the expression of Bertram's face.

Duellist raised an eyebrow. "I would gladly give you the oppurtunity to truly battle me, demon... were it not for the fact that I truly do have better things to do. In all seriousness. Well, that and the reason I already gave, that there is little I can do besides kill you and there is nothing you can do to me besides debilitate me for quite some time."
The assassin gave a slight smile, though. "I'll make them easy, though... simple. Nothing that will take too long." Their surroundings changed, quite suddenly. Now they were in a simple room, and the assassin was once again in human form. "Hrmm... ah, yes. Here we go... I dance and breathe and can even deceive. I am not alive, yet watch how I thrive. Do not come near me or I will eat you my dear... what am I?"
~~
All of Bertram's limited intelligence was telling him 'danger, danger'! But he ignored them, and carefully walked forward, wondering what was going on... "Maybe what?" Bertram's face was a picture, a muddled mess of hope and confusion.
((hee hee... I'm wondering if I should have him trip and drop a pink rose or something. Hrm? La fleur d'amour...))

Glecia walked through the crowded area, her sobs going unheard by the rest of the world as far as she knew, she finally decided to show herself as she reappeared and sat apon a bench in the park, her out dated 40's style was a dead give away she was from another time

The only reason Hakan agreed to the riddles, mostly, was because he liked how they sounded. To him, they were fun to repeat. "Uh.. A tornado?" He would shrug after he gave his answer.She would egg it on as long as she coud. Maybe she would eventually get Bertram to pass out. This is exactly where people go the phrase 'Don't hold your breath.' Putting a finger to her lips, she would look up at the wraith beautiful ruby eyes sparkling in the moon light. "Maybe I could.."

The assassin blinked, and opened and shut his mouth repeatedly. "But... but..." he knew the answer was 'fire'. Every vampire knew the answer was 'fire'. So... why is it this answer worked?
'I hate mortals... always acting so... unexpectedly,' Duellist hurrumphed. Finally, he nodded. "All right... that one was right. I don't know how, but it's right. But this one will stump you... 'the beginning of eternity, the end of time and space. The start of every era, and the end of every place." No mortal could possibly get that the answer was 'e'. Their minds didn't work that way. Of course, a vampire had first used that riddle a while back, so it might have passed into mortal jargon. He doubted it, though.
~~
Bertram's voice raised almost an octave. "Could... could what? Could..." his internal world started to flash. He involuntarily released his defences as he took a step forward, his own handsome brown eyes flashing in the moonlight as if they absorbed it in.
Okay, so they did absorb it in. But the metaphor...thingy... stands.
