The Room

*Lecter shakes his head as Horus runs off*
Lecter: Protective, but reckless.
*He looks back at Sasha and John*
Lecter: One question. I fought a creature, and it ran off before the fight could end.
*He describes the creature he fought against, and tells a summarized version of the fight*
Lecter: Know anything about it? Your friends were the reason it showed up.

*Karma hisses*
We'll find the slave. The distance between us matters little.

The Room

*Lecter looks up at Horus, not reacting to his grip, and forgives him for his rash behavior*
Lecter: It was a stray shot. She'll be fine. Relax, we're not in a place where emotion can lead your actions.

Speak for yourself, Lecter.
*The Devil Hunter grimaces slightly as he hears the voice on his mind, followed by a fading cackle*

*Karma turns her head to face the door*
Then lead us there. It's rude to keep someone waiting.

The Room

*Lecter sighs again and shakes his head*
Lecter: A stray shot hit her. Hanna and some... one else were helping her. And don't worry about the attackers, they were taken care of.
*He brushes his coat open to show his pistol*
Lecter: And if they have friends, they'll be taken care of as well.
*He doesn't mention Hanna's involvement in the fight, a he doesn't know how Sasha will react, or John for that matter*

*Karma flies onto Togan's shoulder*
Will Tiaz know we are there?

The Room

*Lecter sighs*
Lecter: Some idiots tried shooting up the place, but they're dead. It be than that, there's no immediate danger.
*He nods to Sasha, and would come off as human and anomalous at the same time in her scans. Similarly, he smells the air to figure out what she is*
Lecter: A pleasure to meet you, Sasha. I'm Lecter, a Devil Hunter. You're a friend of John's? Squad mate?

*Karma would shrug if she could*
I don't bother to learn the names of slaves. Do you know where one would run to?

The Room

*Lecter nods to Horus*
Lecter: Hunting. There's a few loose ends that need to go.

*Karma flexes her talons slightly*
Not the girl. Lecter commanded that I protect her, while he hunts for a creature that wounded him. We'll have to find a different prey.

The Room

*Lecter keeps wandering through the storm and forest, carefully listening for anything near him*
I could have killed you, Lecter. But I left you with life, in the hopes that you'll ask for forgiveness.
*The Devil Hunter growls as Be'lak's voice enters his mind, and he quickens his pace, heading towards the place where he duelled the giant creature*
Lecter: You will face me, after I finish this fight.
*Lecter eventually runs into John, Horus, and Sasha, and nods his head*
Lecter: Glad to see you're on your feet, John.

*Karma tilts her head at Togan's comment*
I doubt some of them will be found. A bird needs to eat, after all.

The Room

*Lecter keeps heading off into the woods, listening and smelling for any creatures, both from this world and not. His hand grips his pistol underneath his coat*

*Karma tilts her head slightly*
For now, answer me this. How many more slaves does Tiaz have?

The Room

*Lecter walks into the main room, looking much cleanlier and healthier than the night before*
Lecter: Karma, keep an eye on things. I have some business to take care of.
*He looks over at Mergoux*
Lecter: We'll deal with Tiaz when you're able.
*He strides off towards the forest, hoping to catch a glimpse of John's scent*

*Karma looks up at Togan, a total lack of fear for his anger*
A servant is no use to me as a cripple.

The Room

*Lecter sighs*
Lecter: Not that simple. But everyone will get what they deserve.
*The Devil Hunter holsters his pistol and turns away*
Lecter: One night of rest, then I hunt.

*Karma lands in front of Togan, her wing almost healed*
How long before you are healthy, or will you remain a cripple?

The Room

*Lecter nods once*
Lecter: For now, I have higher priorities than a minion. A runaway Outsider, Tiaz, and... other matters.
*He glances briefly out at the storm, and flexes his grip on his pistol as he catches a glimpse of an armored figure standing in the shadows of the trees*
Lecter: But Togan isn't here to stay. If anything, it's a mercy.
