She wasn't really sure why she was doing what she was doing. It wasn't as if Sasha went out of her way to be particularly friendly to those she didn't hold close. Perhaps it was the allure of making Rep even more miserable by providing him with visitors.
No, it was definitely the allure of making Rep suffer.
After sending that last little tweet, Sasha made her way to the front door of the dorms so that she could wait. She'd yet to meet the hunter she'd offered to show the infirmary, but the fact that he'd shown such an interest in finding out where to visit Rep also held great appeal.

The trainee hadn't been too far away at all. Pacing. The moment he saw movement nearby, he moved over to see who it was. Was it them?
"Are you... hook...service?" Al hazarded carefully. As he said, he was wrapped up in a great big red scarf... mangled and covered in blood stains... hmm... some of these stains look familiar.
He looked hopeful.

Sasha blinked rapidly, eyes almost immediately drawn to the crimson scarf that the trainee wore. For a moment she nearly didn't hear what she'd been asked. Nearly a minute passed before she roused from her thoughts.
She knew that scarf.
Faking a beautiful, brilliant smile, Sasha stepped forward to greet the trainee.
"Sasha Belrose."

Al moved back looking a bit embarrassed at the sudden approach, "A-Al McAy." Another thing likely familiar... though in this case not exact, his accent. It was much less abrasive than a certain Scotsman, but it was most certainly there.
"Pleased to meet you," He couldn't help the distracted pause as he eyed the woman up and down... then a sudden smile. "Are you one of the available women Rep told me about?" The ones that were of the prostitute variety as Rep put it.

Sasha let out a low laugh, her fingers trailing against the scarf that he wore draped around his shoulders. Her gesture was bold but gentle, barely there against that crimson cloth.
"No. There are many women here, though, and most of them are lovely. I'm seeing someone."
She drew her hand back and bit her lip, offering Al a smile.
"Shall we? Why don't you tell me more about yourself while we walk?"

"Oh yes, please!" He tried not to look too uncomfortable having an article of his clothing molested by a taken woman. He wanted to keep all his teeth just a bit longer, please.
He still followed closely.
"Well, I woke up like a month ago. So there's that... I'm still struggling a bit though... Rep already showed me the infirmary. Twice. But I keep forgetting."

"That was nice of him," Sasha fought to keep the purr out of her voice, her pace slow as she led him towards the infirmary.
"Where were you from before you came here? There's something about your accent..."
She trailed off. This was nearly too good to be true. All wrapped up in red, just like a precious little gift.

"Scotland," Al answered, where exactly though - he was a bit more hesitant to state. He liked to keep a lot of his past life close to his chest, even his name...
Nuru bristled in Al's thoughts.
You don't like anyone.
I guess I should feel honoured.
"You?"

"France."
She fell silent, waiting a few steps before speaking up again.
"What sort of weapon have you got?"
The details. She wanted all of them.

"Nuru is a staff. Really awesome one too," He seemed to perk up a lot. "Wanna see him?" His smile at this point invaded over half his face somehow.

"I'd love to."
Her smile was wide and toothy, and Sasha offered a softly spoken, "Nuru is an interesting name. I have Nona."
As she spoke, the weapon appeared in her hands, a flash of silver and pale violet.
"Isn't she lovely?"

Al summoned Nuru to his hands but far less subtly, swinging the dark staff, the dog head at the tip of it covered in bright violet runes. He looked eager to flaunt the thing and once he was satisfied, struck a semi-relaxed pose.
He looked at Nona and smiled even more brilliantly, "Oooh, are those... ??... OH those must hurt. Nona looks awesome."
Nuru reminded.

Sasha's eyes widened at the sight of Nuru, her eyes gleaming with appreciation. "He's beautiful. We don't see many staffs around here, honestly."
Nona swirled and preened, the weapon trilling softly.
Sasha shook her head with a wry smile that didn't quite reach her eyes.
"Nona appreciates the compliments. She was much smaller when we first bonded - mere hooks. She transformed beautifully into these."
Sasha grinned, her eyes darkening.
"She's been known to bring people to their knees."
Sasha hummed softly under her breath, the sound a subtle half-purr.

"Just don't use her on me and I'm good," Al offered a warm chuckle. Sincere, but distantly worried that might have been the plan. Rep might not have been willing to use Tracey, but that didn't say anything about other hunters and their weapons.
Changing your mind already?
If that's a jab at me...
Nuru radiated a touch of smug.
"Nuru says... uh... thanks."

"You're welcome, Nuru." Sasha smiled before turning her attention back to Al.
"No, no. I'm harmless, and Nona is just a little kitten." A kitten with very, very sharp claws and a taste for a certain Sun hunter's blood, but Sasha didn't mention that.
The hooked swords disappeared in a quick flash, Nona's totem settling against Sasha's chest with a gentle tinkle.
"So you're very close to Rep, then?"
