*even shorter younger scrappier Souma keeps peeking at her from behind a tree*

[ 🌸 ] – Ah… She wasn’t sure how to deal with this. Asami was taught many plans of action for different situations, but she was never debriefed on how to deal with a child watching you from afar. She was only training at the moment but even so, a ninja shouldn’t allow themselves to be studied– not even by a child. Secret techniques were meant to be secret.

“Little boy-a.” She called, lowering her kunai to finally acknowledge the boy’s presence.

Then, in a blink of an eye she appeared behind the child, leaning down to whisper in his ear, “What are we looking at?” Her voice held a tone of amusement in it. She wanted to frighten him, but not too much.

“Ah…!” He was taken aback when she grabbed his hand. Sanji was always the bold one; taking a woman’s hand, lavishing her knuckles in quick kisses and gushing about how radiant he was. She deserved all of that, but he was momentarily stunned by her want to speak with him.

That, and he wasn’t quite sure how to explain to her that the man he had met was someone that knew how to communicate through gas and had been chopped into many pieces by a man that was now their ally. Some things were better left unsaid, he thought, even if it meant hiding the truth from someone as stunning as her.

“I wouldn’t mind at all, but there isn’t much to tell. We met on an island where he was in trouble. Some of my friends and I helped him find his son and we managed to leave the island. After that…”

He could only offer a shrug.

[ 🌸 ] – She was a bit disappointed at the lack of details, but from what she understood, he and his friends had helped one of her countrymen. She wondered who it could have been... To pass through Wano’s borders you either had to sneak out or have enough authority to just walk through. What was this about a son? “I see... If it isn’t too much trouble, may I know their names? It’s possible I may be familiar with them.”

She began to walk, guiding him down the street, “No matter, I’m grateful nonetheless.” As she was headed to a local tea shop-- or cafes as they know them, she added, “Apologies. I never introduced myself did I? I am called Asami. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

“Yeah, I suppose you’re right there. I didn’t even detect you with my haki until I saw you. You must be exceptional when it comes to being stealthy” he chuckled as he scratched the back of his head. 

“Me? Oh, no, not at all. But I can’t blame ya for assuming so..” he chuckled as he closed his wings behind him. “I’m human, I just ate a devil fruit is all. Ryu Ryu no mi: Model Fire Dragon. I just feel more natural in my hybrid form then human form” 

[ 🌸 ] – With the way the boy reacted and carried himself, Asami came to the quick conclusion that he wouldn’t be a danger to her. There were some people that liked to incite violence out of their own boredom and those were the people one had to watch out for.

Ah... devil fruits. She’s heard much about these things over the years she’s been out of Wano. Even if she knew now that the people gained their power from eating certain fruits, it still didn’t change the fact that it was witchcraft in her eyes. “Ah yes... that sorcery with the devil. To think that it could grant you such an ability... Dragons are benevolent and wise creatures. You are blessed by the gods to have merged with one.”

“He’s a friend of mine we’re both pirates.” He explained to the oddly garbed woman. Maybe Kuo wasn’t from the same place this woman was from but the things he saw Kuo wear was similar in style. “So where are you from Miss?”

[ 🌸 ] – She wondered why people always ended up asking her this question. It was almost amusing at this point, but she didn’t mind divulging such information. “Have you heard of Wano before boy-a?”

    | ☽     Rather than charming, Eliza had always assumed that she would be scaring customers away; after all, she hadn’t been the friendliest saleswoman nor did her appearance help, instead she had grown accustomed to the strange stares of passersby, thus the remark left her speechless for a good moment or two evidently caught in shock, before turning her attention back to her merchandise as the latter question was voiced.

    ❝Yes.. I do!! All the items are magic charms — they’re made of purifying crystals — ‘posed to nullify negative energies and cleanse the soul❞ she explained enthusiastically, quite pleased by the other’s mere inquiry which enabled her to do.

[ 🌸 ] – The response came as a bit of a surprise to the woman who tilted her head down towards the pendents in her hands. Magic? “Witchcraft is a dangerous art. In my country we’re told to stay away from it. Bad spirits are always hungry for vessels.”

Her thumb ran over one of the crystals with a bit of thought before adding, “Have you studied under a master? I suppose I could trust these charms since they are based on positive energy.”

[ Currently have three threads that I owe replies to here. I’ll try to get to them tomorrow when I have the free time! If anyone would like some interactions please just hmu. I’m really interested in developing Asami’s character further. ]
