just outside Karakura [open]

What was this girl asking of him? Was this just some ploy to distract him before the black beast came crashing down? Arawn could only imagine how painful it would be to be squashed under what looked like a 50 ton monster. If the weight didn't kill him the huge talons would be the end of him. Staying in one place and around this girl wasn't in his best interest.
"I'm a tourist here, I have no reason to come back." he said quickly while trying to think of a way to get away from the young lady. "There's no reason for me to talk to anyone about this place." he finished. In truth such a thing would require immediate attention from Soul Society. Although Arawn himself preferred not to be the one to head such an investigation. Someone with special powers fighting hollows wasn't a good thing. The legendary Quincy were a group that did the same thing. Still the fact remained this girl somehow had large lizard at her command. He'd had his run in with a dragon before, and he rather not repeat that experience again. Let someone else play St George. "I fight those monsters as well, but I don't want to fight other espers." He spoke honestly on the last point. He really didn't want to do battle with others unless he had to. In this case he wanted to flee before things got sticky. "Why not just call it a day and I leave?"

Moya picked up her head and wiped at the blood on her mouth with her hand. "fine, leave." She blinked coldly. She swore on bloody pride though she would kill him if caused harm to Tatsu. She could care less if he hurt her, but Tatsu was another thing. The large dragon poked his head into the brush softly nosing her side. She wrapped an arm around Tatsu. Laying her head on his. The dragon spoke softly to her. "I found no traces of the hollow in our immediate area." Moya nodded and sealed Tatsu into his charm form. Hooking the cracking egg onto the chain under her jacket. She watched the man. She knew he wasn't a tourist, she wasn't dumb. "I hope you know I'm not stupid. Lying doesn't help, but if you cause harm to Tatsu I won't forgive you." She spoke softly, and sadly. Letting her tired body fall to the ground she curled up in a ball. Her legs near the puddle of blood. She watched him with her bright red eyes that matched the color of a normal person's blood. Waiting for him to leave.

Imagine Arawn's shock to hear the girl give up so quickly. Was it really that easy? Could it be that simple? He was about to say something else when the large reptilian head burst through the foliage. Perhaps not so easy after all. The relief on his face wasn't hidden when the dragon didn't attack. Instead he watched as the girl nuzzled the monstrous head. It was odd to see the Moya threat the huge creature the same way one would tread a smaller pet. Something that big is in no way cute. Arawn preferred the kitten. He had been so worried about the young woman's safety when she was the one he should have be wary of. The aura of innocence was lost in his mind he didn't see a defenseless human. He now saw her as a possible threat to others. In good conscience he couldn't leave, but he had no choice. Fighting in his current condition would be foolish. He gave a sigh and slowly picked up the satchel. Next he turned around so that he faced the two completely. Arawn did his best to keep his eyes on the girl as he did so. Once he had it securely on his back he inched away from Moya. His arms remained raised all the while as he did so. He did his best not to make any sudden movements that might be interrupted as hostile. The last thing he wanted was for her to suddenly change her mind. Bit by bit he moved further and further from the girl and her pet dragon. Walking backwards was far from easy, but he refused to show his back just yet.

Soon the two fell from his sight as the greenery took over. Feeling he'd made enough distance he turned and ran as fast as his wounded body could carry him. Still in his gigai it was nearly impossible to tell if she was following him. Rather than stop and check he kept moving until he cleared the trees and spotted the first signs of civilization. Once he got back to Soul Society he'd file a report and have someone investigate the matter fully. He did his best to commit all the girls features to memory. At the same time he recalled the dragon's strange flames. Whoever came after him would need all the information if a confrontation arose.

Moya pouted softly. She wouldn't want to bother with what would come next. "Saving people is stupid, and I'm tired." She muttered. Coco stumbled into her arms as Moya sat up. She slowly stood and made her own way, going in the opposite direction. She knew another path that lead to her home. A more direct path to her home, away from where the man would pop into the world out of the dark forest. Each step seemed to take hours to her tired body. She didn't exactly go looking for trouble, but now it was going to look for her. With every few steps she looked over her shoulder. The kitten looked up at her from between her breast and made a soft sound. A comforting sound, and it let Moya walk on it peace. "This is hell." She muttered as she walked on. She had done the stupidest thing ever.
