Enter a... Dried (NotaSquid) Girl [Open]

While there were some who couldn’t endure the temperature that day, there was who actually enjoyed it just like Lance. The God Slayer was walking undisturbed through the streets of Clover Town, the same town he had attacked not too long ago- or well, not exactly attacked but he had some fun out the gates with Ryder. “This city is kinda boring now though..” - he muttered, looking around as he attempted to pick up on any magical power but there was no one he actually gave a damn of. “Not even the slightest of a challenge, egh..”

In a few words, Lance wasn’t destroying anything that day, he was just taking it easy while eating some fire.. literally. He held two lit up torches whose flames were constantly flowing in the God Slayer’s mouth.

Lance suddenly looked up, only to find a bunch of people looking at a girl who didn’t really seem to be having a great time. No one really questioned her that much, they just walked off and went their ways as they didn’t really seem to give her any importance. He blinked and tilted his head slightly, still eating fire from the torches.

He walked up to Elrica and stood next to her, looking down at her as he made sure that she was not sleeping. It would have been rather awkward to interact with someone who was sleeping after all, but either way he spoke up shortly after. “..Hey, boy. The hell are you doing?” - he asked out of curiosity.

He looked down at the girl whose voice didn’t really remind Lance a boy’s but it didn’t really matter in the end. He had no idea of what she meant, she couldn’t even speak right apparently? Lance shrugged and was about to leave, but all of a sudden he felt a firm grasp onto his leg. Elrica had just stopped him from leaving and Lance wasn’t known for being tolerant.

The God Slayer narrowed his eyes, frowning for a brief moment. “..Give you what? Listen, you better let go right now kid before I-..” - he was suddenly interrupted by the wolf, who had just appeared out of nowhere. Great, that could only mean that she was a mage-- or he? Lance had no idea really. Lance blinked slowly, just standing there as he let the wolf speak and his ears listen.

“..She?” - he uttered, looking from the wolf to the girl. “Oooh.. you’re not a boy then. Meh, it doesn’t really make that much of a difference in the end.” - he said nonchalantly, as if he had never mistaken him for a boy.

His eye twitched as the puppy stared at him with those lovely puppy eyes, deep inside his heart Lance always liked animals and even worse was that they were the only ones he couldn’t afford to hurt. “..How freaking ashaming, you can’t even earn a few jewels.” - he said, just giving out a comment as he justified his next action; take out a small pouch, waving it in front of Elrica. “You better tell me a good reason for me to give you this..”

Lance didn’t really know why he was even wasting his time there with that girl, he could literally toss her away and leave. It almost felt like as if he didn’t really have anything better to do at that point, which was probably the case. All of a sudden though the young girl seemed to feel better and actually began speaking right instead of mumbling, his eye twitched as he did, a vein or two popping out.

“I don’t even know what the second one means and watch what you’re saying! I’m not a freaking pervert! I couldn’t care any less of what’cha got!” - he said, looking rather pissed off as his voice rose. Hell, black flames could even be seen from down his throat as he yelled at her.

He exhaled sharply and rubbed his temple slowly, his eyes closed as he pretty much tried to ignore her sarcasm even if it really made him almost burst out raging flames out of his ears. He opened his eyes and set them on the girl, narrowing them slightly as he gave her an annoyed expression. “An-chan?.. Ugh. I ain’t really giving out jewels for something I don’t even know of. What can you actually do?” - he asked, ignoring the cute puppy in front of him at eye level.

Lance really felt like that conversation was the biggest waste of time he ever had in his entire life, he was literally being teased by some random little girl who really sent his temper off the charts only after a few minutes. “As if I’d even care for a bunch of Rune Knights anyway, I’d just burn them off after I’d be done with this place.” - he said nonchalantly, almost ignorant of the actual teasing until she spoke up once more. He didn't know if she actually meant to, but it really felt as if she was implying that she thought of him as a pervert.

“..Not some pervert.. after all?! Listen here, kusogaki! (“Listen here, you brat!”)” - his voice suddenly rose, eyes wide open as it almost looked as if he was scolding her. “You can call me a bastard, a bully, insane or whatever but not a pervert! And stop calling me An-chan already!” - he exhaled sharply in the attempt to cool off, taking a moment to just stand there in silence until she spoke up once more.

He listened to her, much to his disinterest as she didn’t really talk about anything interest, it almost felt like he was being played on-- to him at least. He literally just rolled his eyes and tossed the small pouch of jewels towards her, then he turned and began walking away. “I’m really done with you. Take those and don’t speak to me ever again.” - he said, trying to refrain from burning down his surroundings even if it was quite difficult for him.

Lance rolled his eyes, not really interested in hearing her excuses or whatever she was saying at least. Even if demanding him to not be all fired up was pretty much like telling someone to stop breathing, he’d never do that. “Yeah, yeah. Take it as whatever you want, just don’t bother me.” - he said nonchalantly, before walking off.

All of a sudden he picked up on a different kind of magical power, he glanced over his shoulder before he turned only to face the golem/dragon. He blinked slowly and scratched his temple while tilting his head slightly. “She just summoned that thing.. but it isn’t a real dragon. It’s some kind of spirit thing I guess. A Celestial Spirit Mage? Hm.” - he muttered under his breath before he just shrugged it off and walked away, not really giving it too much importance.

“Oh well, let’s see if I can find some decent fire mage whose magic is actually worth to eat..” - he said to himself, letting out a small yawn as he just looked around for someone worth his time or really just something he could eat.
