He was on the hunt. The covering of the woods allowed him to move fine, given his status, but it was difficult. Glowing certainly gave him away, but it also attracted others to him. His hunger needed to be sated and what better way then going to a place that would have hunters of low bloods and well... those who wouldn't be missed? He shook his head. He didn't want to cull. Just feed. It was just a learning curve of when to stop drinking.
That and figuring out what abilities he had. As far as he knew he was supposedly stronger and better but mutant and dead.
And with a lack of anything but lore, it had forced his hand, sending him to the woods, mask on his face, weapon in hand, and hunger in his gut.
A grumble of his food processor, and Lunear looked for the nearest troll. In the distance, he saw movement and began to attempt to stalk his way over without..glowing too much.

Growing up was hard. Messy. Confusing. Her life was in a constant state of motion some direction or other whether she liked it or not. It was honestly kind of terrifying.
And yet the forest hadn't changed since when Luxara first made her hive here. She could fall in with its beat without any thought to it. She wasn't a wriggler who fell out of trees or undershot jumping distances anymore.
Challenges were hard to come by. Or, really, unpredictable ones.
The hunting highbloods could throw mean tricks, but their tactics rarely changed. A wild animal getting the upper hand tended to be more circumstantial than a game-changer.
Somehow that made this horrible life peaceful. Stagnant. A safe haven from forces beyond her control that enjoyed giving her emotional whiplash. Or face scars.
The wilderness was home.
Luxara's boots carried more weight than she did, and even so, each step on every tree branch barely made a sound. Jumping down from the canopy, the occupanying 'whump' did little in startling the chirping birds overhead. She quietly panted as she gazed down at the body just a few feet away. No bigger than a throw pillow, the furry animal lay there, bleeding out, dead from her crossbow bolts. It wouldn't make a large meal, but it would suffice. She strapped her weapon over her shoulder before taking out a small rope to tie up the downed beast's many limbs.
She was about to crouch down, but caught something in the corner of her eye. A bright light in the distance, kind of like a firefly, but much too big. However it didn't cast a beam like a searchlight, either. Luxara turned on her heel to get a better look at whatever was lurking in the brush.

When the troll came into view he paused, debating if he should go through with it, if he really wanted to take the path he had started to walk. But then- he had no choice. He was a rainbow drinker now, and he would have to hunt and feed. He sighed heavily, wanting to not just go out and bite people but that's what he was supposed to do. That's how it worked right? Tugging at his outfit and cloak, he did his best to make his way towards the troll when he realized 's**t I'm glowing like crazy and wow I think they might have noticed me oh well too late better just go for it'. Dashing forward he didn't bother to hide his smirk as he brought out his whip. This would be his first real challenge at his 'new' self. Saying nothing, he let the thick woven rope fly towards them, intent to catch his dinner. Or something along those lines. HP:20 DMG: 4

This glowing thing was...a troll? Luxara blinked, confused. That little moment of weakness was enough to get smacked good by Lunear's whip. She flinched then ducked back, quickly getting her crossbow ready. As soon as the bolt was in, she shot at him, a hard smile plastered on her face. If he wanted to play dirty, fine.Hp: 16 Dmg: 2 + 1

He should have expected hostility- after all, he was attacking and well, aiming for his dinner. Or well. He was doing the drinking thing? The books were a bit vague. "If you don't mind, please just give up. It'll make things so much easier for the both of us." It would, but then easy and his plans tended to never be in the same vicinity. The bolt hitting his leg he grunted, forcing himself to not stumble for the sudden impact. HP: 17 Dmg: 3

Luxara tried to dodge the next hit, but failed miserably. Since she was so small and compact, it was nearly enough to throw her off her feet. Luxara caught herself, though, and planted both boots on the ground again. Her grin widened while the adrenaline pumped through her. At least while he finally spoke, she had the opportunity to reload. She aimed again. "That's funny! Trying to be polite or whatever AFTER smacking me in the face." She shot again. "It doesn't work like that, Glowworm. Dunno why you're trying to hide your face when no one else around these parts is a nightlight." Now she was just getting cocky, which was dangerous in and of itself.Hp: 13 Dmg: 5 + 1

The bolt stung and dug deep. Yet he managed to catch himself on a tree the shaft sticking out at an odd angle from his arm. He'd need to have someone fix the new holes in his clothes. Again. "Drinker." He coughed at her, not at all pleased having to say it. "Name calling is so- base. At least provide me with an insult that is creative." Not that it would matter. "I am a gentle troll, even towards my meals. Just because I have to dine doesn't mean I must be rude about it." HP: 11 DMG: 3

Ah. 'Drinker'. That must be slang for rainbowdrinker, Luxara figured. She had heard hunters talk about them before. Otherwise, what had she cared? The greenblood laughed. This was RIDICULOUS. "So, what, you think I'm some sort of free blood bank?" Pausing like that was enough to get hit again. She winced, but didn't let it ruin her mocking smile. She stepped to the side, then circled while he was recovering from her short-range damage. This guy must be a true scrub if he thought he could stay so close and not get hurt much. Or that he thought he could talk her down despite being the attacker. She reloaded and aimed again.
Maybe, if he somehow wasn't a total rookie hunter, he definitely had the entitled attitude of a highblood through and through. Disgusting. "And here I thought 'gentle' meant being better than attacking someone without a hello. You have a funny way of thinkin'. Or you think I'm a dimwit." She pulled the trigger. "You jackasses are all the same, coming in here think you can do whatever you want to the local lowbloods. If you keep bullshitting like that I'll aim for your eye next, Glowstick."Hp: 10 Dmg: 5 + 1

He gave her a look of pure basic confusion. Why wouldn't her blood be free? He was dead already, everyone was pretty much fair game at this point. "Every troll is a walking donation drive from where I stand on the hemospectrum." Which was off the charts technically. Did dead trolls count? Yet another moral to debate with himself later. Hit once more, he bit his lip as a hiss escaped him. Damn bolts hurt. "A gentletroll means we treat our prey with a modest amount of dignity. And we can hunt lowbloods because that's how the system is made. If you have such a problem with highbloods perhaps you ought to join those against it." He flicked his wrist at her. "But please, don't lump me together with the trash. I hunt everyone equally." HP: 5 DMG: 5

"And with an attitude like that you're gonna end up starving." Another condescending laugh. This guy was for real. Such a blueblood. Dear lord. "Maybe I have joined against them." Well, then she waffled. And Gan didn't want her getting involved. The circumstances weren't letting her sit things out, however, and this guy was making it all the easier to go with the rebels again.
She recoiled as he finally got a good hit in. Luxara realized that she was starting to feel numb from all the whippings. If she didn't get him to step off soon, she'd have to flee. Possibly without her own dinner if she wanted to make sure the highblood couldn't keep up.
Luxara fired a final warning shot at the tree behind Lunear. "You talk trash and act trash. My food's getting cold n' I have to get back to my hive so step off and find some other schmuck to suck."Hp: 5 Dmg: 0 :<

Hardly, if things got bad he could always just... pay some idiot to deliver a pan of bread and sauce with cheese 'n meat to his hive. And just eat the delivery troll. "Pity, could have made yourself of use." He looked around. "Oh you mean that pile of meat?" He noted the dead lusii, and with great pain to dirtying his boot- stepped right on top of it. "Sorry, couldn't hear you over the sound of my gut telling me my dinner is getting a bit heated for me. I do enjoy a hot meal." HP: 5 DMG:3

Luxara's mouth twitched as she watched the boot go down. If it made the bones puncture the organs and let the fluids start splooging into the meat, it'd be ruined. All that pain and toil for nothing. Now she didn't even have the chance to get it back to her hive, and after this crappy fight, she wasn't sure she'd get another shot at getting food for the night.
She had another mouth to feed, goddammit.
"You ********!" She didn't even bother to shoot this time. Instead she ran up to slug him in the face.
Unfortunately, her expertise was almost entirely reserved for stealth and long-range shooting. Attacking head on would be little more than a bop in comparison to a full bolt.Hp: 2 Dmg: 0 >A<

The punch got him, blue welling to bright glowing skin in a bruise. "How vulgar." He made a reach to grab her. "I have never pailed and done nothing to any mothergrub or lusii thank you. Now if you'll be so kind as to surrender? I don't want to have to make more holes in you than needed and waste all that green." He smirked at her, reaching to use his whip to restrain her. This was how they did it in books at least? "I assure you, it's only mildly painful." HP: 5 DMG: 5

Ugh, he was TOUCHING her. First he decided to whip her while saying he was being respectful, then he stomped her kill...and now he decided to think he won. Luxara's brow furrowed and her grin almost turned into a scowl. But not quite. Because she still had bolts in her pocket. It was a waste on him, but it'd leave a message. With her free arm, while she still had the chance, grabbed an arrow from her pocket and stabbed him deep and hard into the joint where the elbow bent. "Bet that isn't, eh, shitlord?"
Luxara yanked away and strapped her crossbow back over her shoulder in the same motion. She climbed up the closest tree and rushed off through the foliage. She was going to have some bad bruises from this, true, but it was victory enough that she hadn't bled one bit.
It irked her that she'd have to hide for a bit before returning to her hive, but she'd just have to deal.
Despite all her mistakes in that little bit of time, she still escaped. And that was all that mattered.
