Ah, a young female warrior, I see. Pleasure to make your acquaintance.

*His expression still seems very serious, with a slightly furrowed brow and stern frown.*
The grudge between Aku and I is much deeper than I could hold for a single bounty hunter. With how high the price is on my head, I honestly cannot blame you.
Sounds like you’ve had just about every bounty hunter there is to name after you. I have to say I do feel a bit sorry for you.
<She’s idly twiddling another cupcake around in her fingers>
It was not money that had me hunting you down. All the others were interested in the wealth.
No need to be sorry. I have grown used to it at this point.
*He looks slightly confused for a moment though when she mentions the money.*
Wait… if you were not interested in the reward, then what convinced you to try and capture me in the first place?
If I had succeeded in capturing you, I would request for the payment to be, not money, but the freedom of my kingdom, my people.
<She glances at the floor, then back up to the samurai>
Though I am still not so sure if he would have fulfilled my request.
*He looks somewhat surprised at first, and his expression softens a bit.* Oh. …I am in… a very similar situation myself.
Though you are right. Aku seldom ever upholds his end of a deal. He has tricked several other innocent people before.
You…are of royalty as well?
<She glances up and down at him, seeming surprised, but it doesn’t last long>
…I suppose it’s a good thing I hadn’t succeeded, then. My people don’t need anymore enemies at the moment.
<The woman jumps slightly at first, upon first glance thinking that this was Aku. Focusing better on the little demon she finds she was mistaken.>
Oh…hello. Who are you…?
H-hi! You do not need to be afraid. My name is Rouge!… What ees your name?
I…was merely startled—forgive me.
I am Princess Mira. It is nice to meet you.
<The woman jumps slightly at first, upon first glance thinking that this was Aku. Focusing better on the little demon she finds she was mistaken.>
Oh…hello. Who are you…?
<She blinks for a moment as if she recognized this man, then blinks a few more times after realizing she was mistaken.>
Ah, a Scotsman. You’re awfully far from your homeland.
Aye, ye got that right, lass.
But bein’ far from home don’t bother me to much.
//Looks at her up and down//
Ye look a bit familiar. I know we’ve never met face to face up until now. But I could’ve sworn I’ve seen ye pretty face somewhere before, lass.
<She raises a brow and manages to smile only slightly.>
I could say the same. Perhaps we only brushed paths somewhere in the past. I’ve met a few Scotsmen before, though.
; u ; I AM SO GLAD YOU LIKE MY CUPCAKES, MORTAL PRINCESS!
dk;FDSG—
<She coughs slightly>
Ye—they are nice, yes. Thank you.
I am the only one who can harm him. My sword was forged by the gods for the sole purpose of destroying him. So, I am his biggest threat, really.
<Her brows raise, surprised by this new information.>
I didn’t realize this was a personal vendetta.
<She pauses, and then a hint of an amused grin appears.>
Ironic, how easily we’re conversing right now, compared to when we first met.

<She stops mid-bite on another cupcake>
…
They are good.
