Noctis had once again found himself walking through the Labyrinth, his sword strapped to his back. It wasn't an odd sight around here since with the level of crime and other happenings, it would've been unwise to walk around without some form of protection. If that weapon happened to be a sword that was fully on display in order to deter the petty criminals, all the better.
Noctis hadn't emerged from his apartment except for work and errands in quite awhile. With Hojo still around as well as the knowledge that the insane scientist knew very well where Noctis lived, it tended to make the young man feel a tad nervous and on edge. He couldn't help but glance towards the shadows on occasion as he talked down the street, keeping an eye out for any more of Hojo's little pet projects.

I hunted around the labyrinth for my new mark. No sign of that cub. Damn. One bad thing about this job, you waste a lot of time if you don't have specifics just looking around for someone or something, then when you find someone that fits that description, you aren't sure whether they are your mark or or some poor lookalike.
Eventually I spot a guy with blue hair. I whistle for his attention. "Hey kiddo! You haven't seen a small cub running around here, have you? Maybe someone with green hair perhaps?"

Noctis looked over his shoulder at the sound of a whistle, his hand twitching up towards the pommel of his sword but relaxed when he saw that it was only the rumoured owner of the new shop on Main Street. Though what was already a somewhat strange situation was made even stranger by his question. Why would this guy be looking for Kiara? "No, can't say that I have." He replied calmly with his eyes still trained on Dante.

I snapped my fingers and looked around. "Been looking for it for a while. Dammit."
Shaking my head and thought about calling it a day. Damn demon cub, if it was going to piss someone off, it could at least make itself an easy target. Illogical? Yes, but it would make things so much easier. "Thanks anyways. Name's Dante." I held out a hand to shake his hand.

Noctis watched the white haired man, resolving to look into this later on to try and find out why Dante could possibly be looking for Kiara. Some people would say that this would mean a visit to the local information broker, but Noctis wanted to avoid adding onto his debt if he could. After a few moments Dante merely introduced himself and extended his hand. "I'm Noctis." he replied but didn't reach out his hand to shake Dante's, he didn't really want to be bombarded with memories at the moment.

"C'mon kid, you plan to make friends that way?" I extended my hand towards him and rolled my eyes. "Whatever." My hand found it's way back to my pocket.
"Anyways, I own a shop over on Main, kinda a demon hunting business. Feel free to drop by if you need some demons taken care of, it's just that lovely building that doesn't have a name yet. I'll get one for it though! Don't worry about that. Nice meeting you, Noctis." With that I walked past him, accidentally bumping into his shoulder. "Whoops, sorry about that kiddo."

Noctis didn't answer Dante's remark about friends. In the young man's eyes, Dante could think all he wanted. It was better than the alternative. Either way, the white haired man didn't seem to take it personally, merely going on and talking about the shop on his own before proceeding past Noctis. Unfortunately for him, Dante bumped into his shoulder before he had a chance to move out of the way. Immediately Noctis' normally blue eyes turned red as the events of Dante's life played out before his mind's eye, Noctis staring off into the distance all the while. When the events finally passed and his eyes turned back to blue, the young man shook his head as if to ride himself of disorientation." Its...It's alright." He replied quietly before turning to follow Dante, thinking over what he had seen. What was especially confusing was how Dante now worked with his twin brother even after all the times they had tried to kill one another.

After bumping into that kid, guess he already has a nickname, what do you know, I continued to walk towards Main. I figured that there was no point in sticking around much longer. Noctis didn't seem the social type anyways.
That was when I noticed him following me. "What's up? I didn't steal anything if that's what you are thinking. I don't do that stuff anymore. Used to, but now I got a job so no need."

Noctis glanced around more so as he walked though wasn't really seeing anything, still thinking over what he had seen but quickly pushed it from his mind when Dante began speaking. In response he merely shook his head. "I was heading in this direction anyway." He replied before, as if on cue, the world began to twist and warp around him. A curse left Noctis' mouth and he immediately reached for his sword.

I couldn't help to smirk. A crossing. My eyes made their way to Noctis, reaching for his weapon "Hope you know how to use that sword kid, I don't wanna keep all the fun to myself!" I pulled Ebony and Ivory from their holsters.
The demons came out and moved quickly towards us, luckily for me my trigger finger was faster.

Noctis' gaze flitted over the demons already pouring forth from the source of the Crossing just moments before Dante spoke and the black haired young man couldn't help but smirk slightly. This guy wasn't short on humour to say the least. "Speak for yourself." He said before tearing the sword from its scabbard on his back and charging forward to meet the demons, adrenaline causing his eyes to turn red.

Huh, what do you know? Kid could fight, guess I should've assumed as much from the fact he actually had a weapon, although I have expected it to be a bluff sorta thing, I mean, who'd mess with a guy with a weapon aside from idiots?
I slashed through a group of demons and slashed one up in the air, jumping up after it to slash it back down for extra impact. "So Kid, need help, just give me a call out. I do this for a living so..." You know, just in case.

Noctis glanced over his shoulder just momentarily at Dante before he continued slashing away at the demons before Dante spoke of doing this for a living. "So I guess that makes you the rumoured demon hunter on Main Street?" He called over the din of battle before a small smirk appeared on his lips. "And here I am, just a humble waiter." His remark was admittedly a tad tongue-in-cheek. While he was a waiter at the Veil, he was also a member of the Network while being one of Izaya's minions that had been dragged into service through debt.

"Exactly the one! Well, one of the two at least, but I'm the owner." I slashed for a few more before seeing a large one come through. "I think that one is the ring leader! So, 'humble waiter', any plan of action you wanna try?"
Usually, I'd just skip the little ones and go for the big baddie, but hey, maybe he had a better idea.

Noctis chuckled and cut down a few more demons before a larger one had come through. Dante pointed it out as the clear ringleader and he was inclined to agree. "Once of us could distract it while the other gets in range for a killing blow." he suggested before darting out of the way of a blow from one of the demons. "Do you want to play decoy or should I?"
