She turned on her heel and marched back into the Rune Knight quarters. Deliberately, she stomped her feet as she climbed the stairs up to the barracks. Her footfall was as loud and menacing as she could manage as she strode towards the man's once again. The door was closed, this time... Was he expecting Akira's return and avoiding her now? Or worse, was he in the folds with the dark woman that Akira had failed to catch? She knocked incessantly, each louder than the last till she was practically banging on it. 'Open up!' she demanded.

Or at least he would have if loud menacing footsteps didn’t pummel the hall of the barracks. The marching stopped at his door and demanded that he’d open up, groggy and weak Fenrir dragged his still nude body to the door and opened up rubbing his right eye, “Yes?” he spoke nonchalauntly completely ignoring the fact the woman before him was irritated.
Sun Mar 11, 2018 6:34 pm
And for what? To show off or something! She peered in mostly because she was in half a mind to just shove against the door and walk in, the only thing that stopped her was the fact that the man behind it was definitely about a million times stronger than her and that probably wasn't even an exaggeration. What she saw was enough to make her clench her eyes shut and leap away from the door, reddening in embarrassment. This guy was such an absolute shameless pig and a menace.
'God damn it! Put on some damn clothes!' she exclaimed, hissing sharply. 'And then let me in!' she demanded, now tapping her feet with her hands folded as she waited for him to 'You need to explain yourself.' she finished, chewing her lips and wondering how long this fierce fire of annoyance last before it extinguished itself. If he simply denied her request she didn't really have anything up her sleeve to make him change his mind... She'd probably just have to go complaint, without giving him a chance to defend himself, she was too fair a person to want to take that alternative though.

Fenrir rolled his shoulders and sighed as he watched the girl's furious reaction to his unmentionables, he couldn't blame her they were probably still glowing with energy. He rubbed his hands together and shut the door as he looked for something, anything to wear. He looked around for his pants, but it seemed they were destroyed in the chaos, though he did find a suiting replacement. Picking up his boxers he pulled them on, before slipping on the remnants of his sweatpants. This wouldn't make her too angry wouldn't? Hopefully not, but he needed to get things back in order before this chick blew a hole in is head.
Opening the door Fenrir cracked a smile as he gestured for the girl to come in, the smile was forced as he was far too tired for any of this right now, "I know I just had a visitor but if you want to train with me too I might need a nap first." he yawned , tears beading at the sides of his eyes as he looked at the much smaller woman. Pulling his sheets over his shoulders, he waited for her response, apparently a tad more impatient than he should have been.

'Not to mention that you're just... willing to "train" with anyone? Where the hell is your sense of loyalty.' she continued, waving her gun about which she hadn't placed back into her holster since it was still warm. Her words were rather judgemental and frankly uncharacteristic, she usually didn't care about such things, but today, she was in the mood to pin her failures on someone else and the more she thought about it, this man was totally at fault for letting a stranger amidst them at a time like this, but clearly he wasn't aware of this... Either that or he was super trained at acting so casual and careless that he wouldn't be suspected.
'Your frivolous attitude towards "training" with anyone and everyone has got the Rune Knights in trouble!' she exclaimed. He was so unconcerned, it looked like he couldn't even care that he'd just blown a hole in the ceiling. 'And that! What the hell was that?' she said now pointing the gun towards the gaping hole left in the roof, demanding more answers, although some of her questions were rhetoric. After the attack and the devastation it had bought, the blueprints of the Rune Knights, not to mention a few more documents with names of officials that had partaken in the defense, were highly valuable pieces of information.
Sun Mar 11, 2018 6:37 pm
“I’m sorry?” he looked up at her with genuine confusion, he didn’t have a clue what happened or what Michi did for things to get so out of hand, “That?” his gaze upcasted at the hole in the ceiling, “I… Can’t explain that I felt good for a few seconds and I think my energy must have shot into the sky. As for the Rune Knights being in trouble, what happened? Michi told me she was a Rune Knight recruit so I gave her a tour like we do all the other...” he yawned, “Recruits”
Sun Mar 11, 2018 6:38 pm
'Is there anything you can explain?' she said now piping down back to her dull, flat toned self... This conversation was becoming a drag. He went onto name the girl, called her Michi and said he believed she was a recruit. Aki's eyes widened, he was the kind of naive, Akira associated with Rune Knights, she was now convinced they just hired anyone. 'And you just believed her? Didn't ask her for any sort of proof?' Akira shook her head. 'You don't just let people walk in li- nevermind.' she sighed. 'Can I have your full name? and hers?' she asked now tapping her foot again, impatiently as she stowed her gun away.
Sun Mar 11, 2018 6:44 pm
"My full name? Uh.. it's Fenrir." he nodded, "I don't know her full name I just call her Michi." he nodded, "I mean if it helps she was here training! I bumped into her in the training facuilty and only people with visitor clearence can get through without actually being a knight, he pointed out remembering some of what he was told when he first got to the barracks, "I assumed she was a recruit who got seperated from a tour..."
Sun Mar 11, 2018 6:45 pm
Had this guy just been a tad more helpful, she'd have been inclined to defend him, simply because it seemed to have been a genuine mistake and nothing malicious. But at a time like this, mistakes could be too costly. 'You can't just let any Mary, Jane and Michi walk in here and claim they're a part of the Rune Knights, or hope to be...' she said shaking her head. There was no point even talking about their "training." She tried to take a more patient and patronizing tone. 'She may have seemed nice to you because she gave you whatever you wanted or something... But she isn't. There are documents with names of mages and... and with the layouts of the Rune Knights headquarters... and she has those folders.' Maybe the woman had cast some spell on him to momentarily make him all confused, fog up the details of their encounter so she could get away. Maybe Akira just had to wait to see if it cleared up...
Sun Mar 11, 2018 6:46 pm
"But I didn't just let her in." he pointed it out to her as he sat up better, "She was in the facility when I first met her, and there was no way she could have just came in unless someone before me let her in so if I'm to blame for those documents I accept that but it should be noted she was here with or without someone else's clearence I should have asked her for evidence but i let my own exceiemtent get the beest of me I am sorry."
Sun Mar 11, 2018 6:47 pm
'You showed her around, I presume? Before bringing her up here?' Aki asked because the woman's navigation of the Rune Knight barracks was flawless. She knew exactly where the papers were and knew exactly which openings she could exploit to get away. Michi, wasn't winging it... Akira thought. 'So, to give it to you straight, you're probably going to be in some trouble, now... the only way to avoid that if you can get "all there" and maybe walk me through what happened before the "training" and maybe there is a way to argue that this isn't all your fault...' she said, quite frankly. From the looks of it and from the way the conversation had proceeded so far, she doubted any of this had what it took to replace whatever sense of sanity that the man seemed to have lost at the moment. This could lead to some bad news for him.
Sun Mar 11, 2018 6:47 pm
"Before the training I was doing some working out in the gym, but when I shook the building I had to calm down before I blew up the base or something, before that I meant to head to the showers, but before I could leave someone bumped into me, she did." he began holding back no details, "We spoke for a moment and she seemed really nice, was told she was a recruit so I assumed that was how she got in without me noticing. After a while we toured and even ate together for a moment before she wanted to see the baracks and that was when everything else happened..."
Sun Mar 11, 2018 6:48 pm
Fenrir was sure wasn't too great at backtracking, he started explaining one event, then mentioned that before that he was doing something else and after that another thing and between all that the woman was mentioned. Tried to keep track of his timeline, but the hasty broken way in which he explained it, much like a guilty child does, had the girl lost. She decided it made sense to confirm it with him just for clarity sake. 'So you were training at the gym and lost control of your magic somehow? The earth shook?' she started there, first, she had to relay her hypothesis and get some more information about his magic. 'Are you an earth mage?' she asked.
Sun Mar 11, 2018 6:49 pm
He rubbed his chin, "I guess my magic combined with hers and that was why she got all windy, though I couldn't find her when i woke up... It's all kinda scary, but I swear I won't blame you for her getting away and all of this is my fault... In fact, I may as well resign now." he'd stand up and picked up hsi jump suit, "That'll be what's right."
Sun Mar 11, 2018 6:52 pm
She wasn't sure why he was so... open about something that was meant to be private, but at the moment she didn't want to go any deeper into it or give him room for any more elaborations she didn't want to know. 'So I'm assuming you don't have a great control over your magic then... So the building shook and it distracted you and that's when the woman approached you?' Akira asked, scaling back and away from the training aspect. She was concerned about this man now, he seemed quite out of it, he didn't even have enough knowledge about his magic, maybe he was a health hazard for the Knights after all... But she really didn't want to jump to conclusions, after all, once upon a time, she too didn't have refined control over her own abilities.
Sun Mar 11, 2018 6:53 pm
She seemed to not want to hear the training, it was so strange, was it some sort of secret training method that only so many new? Ah, she must not have wanted anyone to know about it, very clever. "She approached me as I was leaving the faculty, she bumped into me as I opened the door today." he was certain that was where it all began and where it all should have ended, but she had perplexed and tricked him. He knew it was wrong to be so easily seduced but she was so beautiful, so sweet.. it was hard to say no.
Sun Mar 11, 2018 6:53 pm
It seemed the man had given her everything he could. The information he shared, seemed repetitive and Akira had etched the brief timeline of what happened in her mind after he gave his confirmation. He looked so perplexed, the thought that she had used magic to charm and befuddle him somehow crossed her mind again. She wondered if sharing that perhaps, would help him snap out of it. She cleared her throat, to emphasize the point she was about to share. 'Ok, so there is a small chance that she has some magic that may have confused you.' Akira painted her hypothesis in clear deliberate words, quite different from her mumbling or her demanding short tone. The magical manipulation of the poor man's brain would explain why he was so keen on defending her too.
Her idea seemed to be making perfect sense. The possibility looked more and more plausible. Now, she just needed a way to counter it, so Fenrir wouldn't have to take the fall for this mishap entirely. Although, the lunar mage wasn't sure if she should be aiding a man like him and preventing him from facing any consequences... 'Fenrir.' she started again, her emphatic tone still plain and clear to see. 'Remember, you cannot be taking her side, if you want the other Knights to go easy on you, if you defend her, they'll think its a conspiracy and things will get tougher, ok?' Akira tried, she wasn't sure if she'd be able to convince him to help her investigate more. It was going to be really hard keeping this under wraps.

"Ha ha, thank you for the advice but I may as well take my leave and be out of here, i'd rather go out on my own terms now rather than have them stair down on me for a few hours and tell me that I'm done for." he'd put his hand in his pockets and patted her on the shoulder, "Thank you." with that he'd walk out of the door and soon out of the HQ into the knight, they could fire him... Sure.

She simply stood there, a little lost and seemingly buried under the pressure of the bureaucracy she had not deemed to understand carefully. She just watched, her mouth slightly agape as he wore his shirt and simply announced his departure. This seemed more and more fishy. Akira wished she wasn't involved, but she did have a duty towards the Knights. 'No wait...' she tried, but he was already too far gone. Maybe he'd make a come back later? Nonetheless, things were out of hand... She'd have to let the higher ups handle it. If he truly was innocent and just hoodwinked, Aki would feel terrible about it.
