When the tall man, Alucard, introduced himself, Youmu's grip on Roukanken's hilt finally loosened. With the appearance of the other woman, who hadn't yet introduced herself, her ready stance grew less tense, and ultimately she let go of her blade's hilt entirely before straightening. "There's still people alive here?" she asked. It didn't look good where she was, to say the last, and the more she dwelled on the presence of the bodies the sicker it made her feel. However, she could glimpse more intact buildings further along. Was that where they were? She paused for a moment, and bowed in turn after Alucard bowed. Now that it was clear there wasn't about to be a fight, she couldn't simply forget basic etiquette. "I apologize as well, I wasn't certain about your intentions," responded the white-haired half-phantom. If there were people dead here, that meant that danmaku rules weren't at play. While Youmu wouldn't have tried to kill anyone, the mere thought of such a thing certainly set her on edge on top of everything else. [@Vlad Tepes][@Drifting Pollen]
