Vanu Ashton
After Vanu saw Gray and Erza show up in Magnolia she made the wise choice to get away. Though on the way she did rob a medicine store to tend to her wounds. At the moment she was resting on a tree branch in a forest near Magnolia. She was contemplating what to do after this, her last fight made her realize that she still had a lot to learn. The way that cloaked guy got the drop on her read all her moves made her feel quite inadequate. She also lost 4 daggers during that battle, she would need to get replacements. Oh if only she could do requip magic like she saw Erza Scarlet and the cloaked figure do. It was while wondering all this that she felt something change around her, some sort of emptiness. She knew right away something was wrong, she jumped down from the tree branch and tried to manipulate her souls, but found out she couldn't.
It was then she heard her name and saw who said it. Alec Roganoff, someone she had hoped she would never meet and when trying to look at his soul she found she could only get a hazy image, but even that screamed dangerous. Though she never expected to get an assassination order from him. He also said she would work together with the hound dogs, so that rumor was true then about a secret killing squad. She ignored the white haired guy stating the obvious, she had not a single chance of winning against Alec Roganoff and she didn't value her chances of getting away that high. The only choice she really had at this point was to accept the offer. With a sigh she said: "I think we all know I don't really have a choice in this matter. I guess I'll accept it then, though could I also know what the job entails?"
