MATTER OF TIME
Ruriko raised her eyebrow as she looked between Callan and the copy he created of himself. “You know, you could have just called or texted us,” she pointed out with a shrug. “I’m fine though, if I wasn’t, I wouldn’t be here.” Even at the slightest headache, Ruriko would have called out but seeing as she was perfectly fine and she was also trying to avoid Kanna as much as possible, she stuck through even the most boring shift today. At least she had Callan and Meirin to talk to pass the time for now.
She glanced over to Meirin as she gave a little more detail about the murder she heard about. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly when it was revealed that Silence got into a fight and ended up being the victim. Casualties weren’t uncommon in New Oasis, especially when one was affiliated with a gang but it was still upsetting to hear about the death of a Dragon. “That’s a shame,” she muttered, her gaze lowering so as to not give away much of the emotions she was feeling.
“Hmm?” Ruriko looked back up to Meirin as she switched to the topic of the bridge. She let out a long, annoyed sigh as she recalled the events that happened. “Kanna and I — and I guess Jesper — were chasing a suspect. Turns out he wasn’t alone and they caused quite the commotion on the bridge. Couple of Phoenixes were on the bridge at the same time and Jesper being the fucking dumbass fired at them on accident — I think. Anyways, the birds attacked Shen on sight when I portal’d him in and Shen lost his control.” She sighed once more, shaking her head. “It really was all some big misunderstanding — but if those damn birds weren’t on our bridge, they wouldn’t have lost theirs.”
It seemed quite a bit happened that night for the Dragons and as chaotic as it was, she was relieved that the past week had been somewhat quiet. However, she knew the peace wouldn’t last forever, there was still the matter of the Scarlet Phoenixes to deal with and who knows what else. Well, it was their job to enforce the peace after all.
