Fang felt okay enough to go on patrol. He'd recovered from that awful, horrible Blight seed thing, that fight that had seemed endless. Ida had been so lovely, and kind, and he wanted to go out and fight more Chaos. So here he was, on the prowl, patrolling and keeping his ears rotating as he listened closely for any signs. A whisper. Anything to indicate that untoward actions were being committed, anything that sounded even slightly like someone getting pushed around. He wanted to be good.

Retzian didn’t like to simply push people around, she wasn’t…heartless with her job, but at the same time, she didn’t enjoy hearing the word no, and so when she had asked a stranger rather politely if she might have some energy and he grew angry, she did fight back, and her idea of fighting back was knocking the man unconscious and beginning to drain his energy regardless.
Of course, if he hadn’t tried to proposition her, none of this would have happened most likely, but then again she had asked for something simple and he had put a revolting spin on it so…
He had it coming, and she felt no guilt.
What Retzian did feel was a sense of pride as she continued to take his energy, watching the small ball in her hand grow larger, though, she scowled when she felt the unwelcome aura coming upon her and swiftly stashed what she had taken into her subspace pocket before standing and looking in the direction of the senshi, already tensing for a real fight.
Though…when her eyes landed on the…very hairy…man, she could only stare, confused and uncomfortable. “...What the hell are you?”

Fang scrunched his nose up at the question, watching her carefully. She had only taken some energy, so far. But in case she turned hostile, his body remained combat ready, in a fighting stance. "A Senshi," he said blandly, as it if there the most obvious thing in the world, and decidedly not answering her question on purpose. Just to see how she'd react. His ears twitched and tail lashed in response to his agitation.

“You don’t look like the other Senshi I’ve run into.” Retzian said, somewhat lamely, eyes still fixated on his ears, and…and his tail. “Though at least you’re not a child like the last one was, and you’re not as…awkward as the first was, or. You haven’t been as of yet. I suppose that there’s still time for you to become cringy.”
Forcing a smile onto her face, Retzian began to pace slightly, keeping her eyes on this Senshi, making sure to keep them on his face now…just in case he decided to attack or…or whatever.
Senshi had Magic, and she knew that much was true, and magic was far more than she had.
“Well, Senshi, why don’t you simply run along and let me finish up here, all right? It’ll be best for everyone involved.”

...Cringy? He'd heard that word before, though he still didn't quite understand it. Still, it didn't exactly seem to be a compliment. "You're hurting people. Cannot run. If you leave, no more take, Fang will not... I will not chase." He glowered at her, body tense.

Oh. Well, perhaps she was wrong. Perhaps he was cringy after all.
For a moment, Retzian simply looked at him and then she sighed. “How about you leave, and I’ll take the rest of what I want to take and then we can go home happy? All right? He’s a grade A creep anyway. Having him out of commission and sleeping for a few days will do nothing but help the city as a whole, I assure you, Fang, is it?”
If he was speaking in third person, then it sounded like that could be his name. “I’m Lieutenant Retzian, and look, if you don’t want me to take any more energy from him, I could take a little from you and we could both leave again and go home happy.” Extending her hand, the lieutenant grinned, waggling her eyebrows.
He wouldn’t take the deal. They never were smart enough to take the deal but. Still.
She had to at least offer.

Fang bared his teeth a little, but he relaxed a small amount, striding forward and thrusting his arm at her, only then realizing he wasn't sure how this worked. He hadn't quite yet had the chance to give energy to Murikabushi, who he was actually friends with. Hmm. Well, he was here now. "Take, then," he demanded, lifting his head high and glaring down at her.

Retzian paused and blinked, taking hold of his hand and giving an almost amused sound. “Well. I suppose I was wrong about you, Fang. You’re the first senshi that I’ve met who has had sense.” She was gentle as she began to draw energy from him, letting it form into a small, but swiftly growing ball in her other hand.
“You won’t regret this, you know. It’s rather gallant of you to just offer without any kind of snarky remarks or…without punching me.”
Her cheek ached from the page who had done just that and the grimace that crossed her face wasn’t a pleasant one.
“Tell me when you begin to feel tired.”

Fang didn't like the way she talked to him very much. But he supposed it didn't really matter, in the long run. He hadn't exactly been super nice to her, either. But still. He was offering his energy for her. And it... itched in a strange way. Would it feel like this, when he gave to Murikabushi at some point? He assumed he would, anyway; he doubted he would ever let his friend go without when he truly needed it. At least Murikabushi didn't make him feel slimy. Didn't make fun. He didn't want to be belittled. He blinked, knees buckling slightly, and he grunted. "Stop." Ah, his eyes were slipping shut. s**t. No wonder no Senshi tended to give energy. It left you defenseless. Helpless. He felt very foolish. He forced his eyes open, taking in a sharp breath of the air to help keep himself awake. "Enough?" he asked, as if he wasn't about to go to sleep right there on the grass. He couldn't. He wouldn't. He had to make it home.

Retzian watched him and didn’t release his hold on her hand, but did stop taking the energy. “Enough. Yes.” Her voice was almost gentle, and for a moment she thought about giving back some of the energy, but…that would be counterproductive. Besides. It would look good to exceed her quota for the week.
“I appreciate it, Fang.”
Slowly, she pushed him down onto the ground, keeping hold of his hand still to keep him upright. “Rest here and then go home. You’ll be fine after some food and a good night's sleep. Now.” She summoned her cat toy and bopped him gently on the nose, grinning. “I hope you have a good night, and I thank you for your donation. I truly do.”
She would keep her word and leave, and would leave the rest of the world alone. His sacrifice for the night was all that she needed and was all that she would take.
With a soft laugh, she finally released him and turned, walking into the night, pleased with all that had been accomplished.

Good. She'd said he'd given enough. Good... He let her help him sit on the grass, not that he had much choice, but he liked that she was helping. And not attacking. She was being kind. Why did these Chaos-aligned people have to be so kind when they did such evil deeds? He hated it. He just wanted them to not... do such things. He didn't realize his eyes had shut again until she bopped his nose, and in reflex, he shot a kick at her feet, just barely missing as she stepped away. Oh. It was a joke. "Thanks. For advice," he called back after her, taking a deep breath. A few moments, and then he could go home.
