Two Days Later
Sirius was training with Bulat, while he disliked people from the military, he could at least get a good workout from the fellow, and Bulat was all too pleased to fight the rogue.
"Damn!" Sirius yelled after just barely blocking a strike from Bulat, he somehow started to swing the staff in his hands much faster than before and had caught him off guard.
"You've gotta pay attention to your surroundings Sirius!" Bulat said, he was swinging the staff fast enough to make the dirt form a cloud, blinding Sirius, when he struck next he didn't even see it and was sent flying back to the base of the stairs, were Leone and Tatsumi had been watching them.
"You two done? I wanna introduce Tatsumi to Bulat." Leone said to Sirius, who was still flat on his back and holding the two shorter sticks he had been fighting with. "Yeah, i don't think i can take much more from him anyway." Sirius said while jumping back up on his feet "Be careful Tatsumi, Bulat can be….. eccentric." Sirius said when he passed him to get some water. Sirius listened to the exchange between Bulat and Tatsumi while staring at Leone, he couldn't deny that whenever he saw her his got nervous, he also couldn't deny that she was very attractive. Sirius noted Tatsumi looked only a little concerned when Leone told him that Bulat was gay, it hadn't posed a problem for him yet, most likely because Sirius wasn't Bulats type. "Ready for round two Sirius?" Bulat called out after the two others had left, Sirius could only nod and the thought entered his head "Oh god is he hitting on me?" He didn't have much time to think on it because Bulat attacked as soon as he took up the stance he usually took when he fought with Ragnarok.
An Hour Later
Sirius sighed with relief when Akame twisted his neck and it popped, releasing the tension in it after his sparring match with Bulat. Akame went to go check on the creature she had killed and was cooking over a fire, Sirius was with her because she was expecting Najenda and he was supposed to get a new mission from the revolutionary army.
"That smells really good akame." He said with surprise, Danger beasts weren't normally something he would eat, but Akame had a way of making strange things edible. "You can have some." She said, Sirius enjoyed her company, she was quiet and friendly, unlike Lubbock who he was pretty sure had gotten his arm broken by Leone, or Mine, who could only ever annoy him, though if someone tried to harm her he would castrate them, Sheele was just concerning, "No one should be that way when killing." He thought to himself as he took a bite of the meat akame had cooked, it was amazing "Better than the food in the north." He said through a mouthful of food. Akame only nodded while eating more than he ever could in one sitting, for a while the two of them sat in a comfortable silence while eating, it was interrupted by Leone and Tatsumi.
"See, the one of there's Akame, isn't she cute?" Leone said while pretty much dragging Tatsumi with her. "And the other one is Sirius." She said while motioning to him. Sirius only moved his chin upward in a greeting to the former mark before swallowing the meat. "Leone, you might want to run, Najenda here." Sirius said while leaning back and stretching out his legs. Leone only looked at the woman sitting in the chair next to his and ran, only to be caught by Najendas arm, which had shot out and acted as a grappling hook, dragging her back to the fire.
Later that evening
"Hey Tatsumi, don't piss off Najenda, and if mine gave you any trouble, don't mind it too much." Sirius said to Tatsumi after showing him where he would be sleeping. "Why?" Tatsumi asked only to get his answer from the glare Sirius gave him. "You know why." He said while fiddling with his belt. "By the way, here's some coin, in return for what Leone stole." Sirius tossed a small sack of coins to Tatsumi who caught it looking very surprised. "I have to go back to the city, so take care of yourself." Sirius said while closing the door of Tatsumi's room.
"So, what do you think?" Najenda asked Sirius as he closed the door, "I think, that he has potential, but he needs to work on it some more." Sirius said while taking a cigarette that Najenda offered him and lit it up, enjoying the relief the tobacco brought him. "Leone is gonna kill me for smoking this." He said after exhaling the smoke with a sigh. "Take what pleasures you can Sirius, have you thought about my offer?" Najenda said while lighting her own cigarette. "Give me some time, see if Tatsumi lasts a month in the business, besides it seems like something is about to go down." Sirius said while strapping on his eyepatch. "What do you mean?" Najenda asked him. "Not sure." he said while opening a window and getting ready to jump out of it. "Don't worry, my people will keep an eye out." Najenda did not get a chance to reply, because Sirius had already jumped out of the window.
"God, i hope i can come back to this place alive." Sirius thought while using Ragnarok's ability to allow him to quickly return to the city.
Sorry about the incredibly long wait, i hit a bit of a block with school and figuring out how i wanted this to go.
