05 - Another Nine-to-Five

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[Aniki is cleaning her sword. Why? Because it's seen heavy use in the past few hours, and since she can pop on up to the plane and see to it without losing time, well! No reason not to take care of things.

Her clothes, on the other hand, are looking pretty ragged. Their torn and slit in several places, though she doesn't seem to be particularly damaged herself. There's a disproportionate amount of blood on her clothes for the size and number of her wounds.

She chuckles quietly and starts whistling as she polishes the metal of her weapon.]

Busy day?

[elementsilver.livejournal.com]

[Have a politely averting his eyes Silver] Been in a fight?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[Have a concerned looking Ianto.] ...are you alright?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

Me? I'm fine.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

Bit of one, yeah.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

Perhaps a mite.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Will you still be alright if you go back?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

Aren't you a sweet lad, worrying like that. [And uh, sorry Ianto, you're getting a pat on the head now. Her hands are clean, at least?]

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[And Ianto's just looking at her now. Like this.]

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

Something amiss?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

You patted me.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

I did indeed.

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

Since you seem happy I'm guessing things went well for you.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Oh, victory, hurrah! Did you kill anyone?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

This time around? Of a certainty they did. [She gives her rag a little flourish.]

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

A fair few. Some of them not too poor with their weapons, which is what pleases me.

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

[Tired smile] So what was going on this time?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Ah! Goodness, you are not hurt, are you?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

I'm well enough, goddess.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

Just a tumble.

[elementsilver.livejournal.com]

[Still with eyes averted] Did you win?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[Amused] I did. What's the matter, lad, not keen on blood?

[elementsilver.livejournal.com]

[Grin] No, it's just your clothes are rather ripped and I tend to look away for fear of offending anybody.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

I am glad, then! How in the world did you get so covered in blood? Well, aside from the obvious, of course.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Someone looks like they had fun today.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

Killed a few folk. No matter how quick you are, it's hard to gt out of the way fast enough when you hit one of the big veins.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

I'm the one who's here with them shredded up.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

It was a proper tumble, yeah.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Looks like the other guys didn't have so much luck.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Ah...I see. But...if you don't mind me asking, why did you kill them?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Then congrats, my dear.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

In all fairness, they tried for me first.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

Not so much, no.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Hm...alright, then. I'm not the type of goddess to say that there is never a time when killing is needed. But, well, I would be lying if I said that it did not bother me.

But! I am glad to see that you are unharmed.

[elementsilver.livejournal.com]

[Grin] you'd be amazed at how touchy some people can be.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

They can at that.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

And my thanks, Master. [Inspects her weapon cheerfully.] Not a win so grand as yours, perhaps, but there's satisfaction in it still.

[elementsilver.livejournal.com]

Being slapped is never much fun.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[Innocently] Isn't it though?

[elementsilver.livejournal.com]

Nor is getting your foot stamped on.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

That's what matters, is it not? And anyway, sometimes it's better to have a hands-on of it. Playing king can be fun, but boring as well.
