After two letters between the two...

A confrontation between the two begins.

Ragna duels against Rachel in the hopes to win her heart but it wasn't something he'd managed to do before...


Ragna went to the location of the letter where they would meet. It was supposed to be along the pathway to Ikaruga. It's nighttime with a relatively cool breeze that made Ragna shiver a bit. He scanned the area around him, searching for anyone that resembled her. However right in front of her, in the very next second, she was right there. Just appeared like that.

The shock of suddenly finding her right in his face made him leap back and scream. "WWAAUUGGGHHH!"

Rachel had her signature stoic expression on. "What? Do I not look good enough for you?" She was aware that she scared him but Rachel didn't care if she did or if Ragna was scared.

"Damn it, rabbit! Would you quit doing that!?" Ragna scowled at her as he clutched his heart area as he took deep breaths.

Rachel's face didn't move at all, still staring at him while holding her umbrella beneath her head. "Quit what? I'm simply greeting you. Is leaping back a few feet like a monkey and screaming like a four-year-old who shocked itself on an electrical outlet really how you greet those with astronomically higher social graces than you? I would expect you to at least put up your best sheen like I said in my letter, assuming you didn't rip it apart in the middle of reading it." Rachel's lips formed a faint smirk but it wasn't clearly visible to Ragna.

Ragna stomped around and gave a brief shout. "MAKE SOME NOISE WHEN YOU MOVE TO LET ME KNOW THAT YOU'RE HERE! YOU STARTLED ME!"

Rachel yawned with her free hand. "Right. Yell louder. That answers me."

Ragna stopped himself in middle of his tantrum, realizing what he was doing. "Oh right. Anyway, let's do this." He withdrew his sword, ready to fight Rachel.


The rest will come on 10/31/14...
