"So, you created those things that attacked us?" Mizu asked. The woman stepped into the light. She had pale skin, long auburn hair, hazel eyes, and it was pretty obvious she had makeup on. She wore some kind of short, gray layered dress. She didn't look fit to fight.
"I didn't create them. I own them. What was going through you two vandals' minds!?" the woman shouted.
"Vandals!? They attacked us!" Mizu shouted back. I thought I heard footsteps again.
"Maybe they had a reason to. They don't particularly like trespassers," the woman said. Mizu gave her an are-you-kidding-me look.
"Look, we just want to go home. We didn't mean any trouble," she said, sounding a little frustrated.
"You didn't mean any trouble, yet you destroyed the robots," the woman said.
"Listen! I just want to get home! My friend and I are injured. We don't have time for this!" Mizu snapped. The woman crossed her arms.
"Tsk, don't be so rude, darling. I just want you to fess up the truth that you both are vandals," she said with a falsely sweet voice. Mizu made an annoyed face.
"Whatever. Let's go, Karma," Mizu said, turning away and trying to assist me to the other side of the roof.
"Quite rude to walk away like that," the woman said, jumping in our path. She threw one of her crescent blades, which were like boomerangs and came back to her. The blade missed my cheek by an inch and Mizu's shoulder by an inch. The woman threw another crescent blade, flying directly at Mizu's eye. Before it could even hit her eye, someone jumped in front of us and stopped it with a bamboo walking stick.
"Marléne, I don't think your boss would be happy if he knew you were wasting your time on two girls instead of replacing the broken andriods," the figure said. I assumed he was male because of his voice. Marléne made a disgusted face, then jumped away. Okay, that woman is weird.
"Are you two alright?" the man said, turning around. I recognized him immediately. The gray hair styled like his son's, the green eyes, the gray and black robes. Lloyd's father. Crap, he'd recognize me as a threat immediately. He'd be like "Hey, aren't you that girl who nearly killed her father and sister while my family was eating?" Mizu and I wouldn't be trusted then.
"If you count injuries as being alright, Sensei," Mizu said. Mizu's a student of his!? I mean, she did call him "sensei".
"Well, Lillian, I could take you and your friend back to the Monastery. I'm sure Misako can help you two out," he said.
"Please don't call me that," Mizu said.
"Why? It's your name. Do you not like it?" Lloyd's father asked.
"No...let's just go," Mizu said, "My ankle is killing me."
Lloyd's father nodded and whistled. A green dragon landed on the roof. A boy with light blonde hair and green eyes sat on it. He was familiar as well.
"You called?" Lloyd said.
