Shifting Waters

[Lubbock]

THE INFORMANT ARRIVES!

Lubbock continued on his steed, the distance between him and Rose becoming greater and greater. He resisted the urge to turn tail and begin an adventure with the musician; he wanted to get to know her more, but his heart told him her adventures were her own, at least for the time being.

"You miss the girl already." Syura noted in his head, not teasingly but more so condoling. The assassin forced out a sigh and reached up to brush away the curtain of green blocking his left eye. "Yeah... I do. I was kinda hoping I could have talked to her more, she seemed like a really nice girl..." He swept his hand around to the side of his face, feeling the six lines still entrenched in his cheek. "Well... she was kinda violent at first, but I wouldn't have expected any less. I just... I just wish that I could have been able to stay with her longer." He reminisced over the meeting.

"I see... was she any different to the other girls you have befriended here?" Syura asked, and Lubbock flushed crimson, mimicking the look of a tomato. "C-cut the psychotherapy crap!" He shouted, bowing his head down into the saddle of his horse. When his vision raised once more, though, he noticed two unfamiliar figures in the distance. He found it challenging to make the two out at his distance though, so he plunged a heel into the side of his transport and the animal began to canter towards the two silhouettes.

Coming to a halt some ten meters from the two, he managed to analyse the looks of both of them. One was a tall man, obviously a young adult, with shaggy black hair and a pair of cat ears sprouting from his head, while the other seemed to be some kind of assassin, not unlike Lubbock, garbed in a cyan colouring... he couldn't recall the exact name for the shade.

Dismounting his vehicle, Lubbock slid his hands into his coat pockets and approached the two as the ninja handed over a set of throwing stars to the cat man. He managed to catch minuscule amounts of their conversation, but he put the puzzle pieces together nonetheless; they were both new Primes. As such, the assassin had his entrance all planned out.

"And the informant arrives!" He shouted, a grin plastered across his lips as he halted before the duo, his legs square to the Primes. "New Primes, huh? Looks like I get to show some more newbies around!" He teased, sliding a hand out of his pocket and throwing them a jesting salute. "The name's Lubbock. Nice to meet ya!"
