[QUOTE="Davies, post: 8404322, member: 30538"] [b]Interlude[/b] When her eyes clear once more, Trijata needs to use all the mindfulness she's ever studied to contain her urge to start shouting at the person whom she can clearly see standing just behind the Lancet. There are many things she wants to say to this person, and, honestly, things she wants to say [i]about[/i] them to anyone within earshot. Before she can do so, though, the person wearing Ibuki's face speaks up. "Can I speak to her alone, please?" Expressed so diffidently, with such a winsome expression on her face. All the same, the Lancet regards her skeptically for a moment, before nodding sharply and heading out through the room's door. Trijata opens her mouth. "I am presently known as [url=https://docs.google.com/document/d/14_BS0Ao7ZCeUMHVXLye885ryQEfZ6UbW/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=109062110484778480992&rtpof=true&sd=true]Baba Yaga[/url]," says the false Ibuki, speaking without a trace of diffidence or winsomeness. "I infiltrated this tournament to support efforts to have Thunder Dragon removed from power. If you believe your motives are more worthy, by all means, expose me." Trijata closes her mouth, and lets out a long exhalation. "Where is the person you're imitating?" she asks after some consideration. Is she imagining a slight softening in the expression of the mask this woman wears? "At the airport, trying to convince security that she's neither a lunatic nor an impostor. Uncomfortable, but not as painful as she would have found a fight with you." An unspoken question hangs in the air after she finishes speaking. "I have heard of you," Trijata says. "Do you think you can win this?" "The future's not ours to see," Baba Yaga answers. "But I can try." Trijata lets her human semblance slip completely, and sees the complete absence of surprise on her former opponent's face. "And that's the boon you want to ask? My silence?" The other woman nods. "Agreed," Trijata says at last, looking away. With a nod, the spy turns to go. "Are you a rakshasi?" Trijata asks on an impulse no amount of mindfulness can withstand. Baba Yaga pauses at the doorway. "I doubt it," she replies after a moment of her own, without looking back. "It wouldn't be the strangest notion. But I think I'm more of a noppera-bō." And with that confusing statement, she departs. [/QUOTE]
