Legion: Combat Rune | Shisui: N/A
Balial:
Legion continued to wait. He could feel the demon drawing near but there was still a moment before he would see the man. White hair and moon in purple upon his head, the scent of demon was palpable. "Come on now, I don't have all day." He said with a voice that was more stern than before.

Shisui stepped upon a large root which found its way above the soil and hesitated to step again. The dual voices spoke towards him again as he replied calmly, "Who are you?"
Balial09/26/2020
“Legion,” replied the tempest of souls calmly. His runic eyes starring at Shisui. “You’re a demon, where are you from?” He asked curious of this unknown demon’s origin
Helios09/26/2020
"Hmm.. Legion, is it? Now where have I heard that name from..?"
Shisui looked away from the being in front of him in thought and returned his gaze as he walked towards him. "Yes. I am indeed a demon. My family has a short history, it is a potential you are unaware of us," he replied as he took a step closer to gain level footing.

"You've heard my name before?" Legion said curiously as he stood from his meditation. His voice was still humming with the resonance of Hades'. "New blood, eh?" He said in quick response. "I normally know all there is to know about the demons around here. It's kinda my thing." He said trying to force out more information from Shisui.

Shisui pondered the multi-soul carrying demon as he looked him over. "I may have heard about you in passing, but perhaps I am recalling incorrectly, please, do accept my apologies," he gave a slight head nod bow. Privacy was his personality. The silver-haired demon asked minimal questions and gave minimal answers. Was this situation possible to escape with minimal interaction?
Balial09/28/2020
Legion clicked his tongue against his teeth as he stood. The silent demon demonstrated a strong will by pushing back against Legion's obvious request. The Exiled King took a second to analyze the movements, mannerisms, and dialog of the silver haired demon, and then continued.
"Legion, most know of me by this name. If you have heard anything else, please tell me where and how." His tone darkened. Did this mysterious new blood know who Legion hosted? Was this another of Lucifer's lap dogs?
Helios09/28/2020
Legion's nonverbal signaled loudly that he began to possibly grow impatient with his avoidance tactics. All he wanted was to be left alone, but it seemed he was not going to be able to take his leave so easily. He could smell the demon's strength, and this put the suave aristocratic swordsman in a position he could not force his way through, but perhaps he could soothe the situation.
"Once again, I may have been mistaken your name for another, but please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Shisui. I am an Inu-Daiyokai despite my current form."
Balial09/28/2020
His eyes didn't ease even with the name of the now known demon, Shisui. A grimaced glance from the corner of his eye as he moved away from the man slightly. Legion still wondered how his name was heard, but he disgraced.
"It is a pleasure, excuse my manners. It is not often I am met with friendship when people say they know of me." Legion positions his hand where it looked as if he was defenseless. In realty he was ready to summon his trusted obsidian blade, Eldritch Bane.

Shisui nodded in acceptance of the man's apology; in addition, he took notice of his hand gestures. Despite his sleeves being so long over his hands, he would prove too slow in such close quarters to remove them. He had to keep neutral and avoid conflict as he had other things to do.
"Since we are becoming familiar with each other, may I ask why I can sense and hear multiple souls and voices within you?"

Biting his own tongue in order to not let his smartass nature expose itself, Legion took a moment to respond. "That is a very long story." He said bluntly. Legion wasn't too trusting, he had learned his lesson when it came to telling people who he was. Although he had gained control over Hades at the moment he still needed to come up with a good excuse so that Shisui wouldn't pry deeper, at least not yet.
"It's a party trick," he said in his normal voice, no longer accompanied by the demonic boom of Hades.
HeliosYesterday at 12:08 PM
"A party trick, you say? Heh. I suppose we will leave it at that," Shisui humored Legion back as he cracked a smirk on the left side of his face. They were both hiding something, but to the deepest extent would not be explored on the first meeting, especially a random one. He was still looking for a way to slide out of the conversation altogether.
"..so, if you don't mind my asking; what brings you to this planet?"
BalialYesterday at 1:26 PM
"I'm a wanderer, always looking for answers, items, and things of interest." Once more Legion said with a wisp at the end of his voice. He wasn't as defensive as before and his eyes softened slightly. "I heard of a rumor, about a colossal that was roaming around these parts. Have you heard anything?"
HeliosYesterday at 1:30 PM
"A wanderer..?" Shisui knew all too well since he, too, was up to the same thing, at least for the time being. "What type of things have you found so far? I would not mind finding somethings or someone of interest as well, and to answer you question, no. I have not heard of any rumors. You are the only person I have crossed paths with since being on this planet."
BalialToday at 10:23 AM
"The only one, ay?" Legion said with a shake of his head. "Yeah this place is pretty boring, I am hoping something interesting happens soon." Spoke the Demonic Prison with a chuckle at the end of his sentence. "Oh, I've found a bunch. A demon scroll, a cool little item I call mimic. Bunch of other relics, scrolls, and fancy things like that." The Tempest of Souls went on about his Knick knacks for only a second before being interrupted by a resounding crash.
"What the fuck was that?" He said looking over the shoulder of Shisui.
HeliosToday at 10:55 AM
"Mm," Shisui replied with a head nod. He was indeed the only being head had come across, and he enjoyed it. Listing the amount of items cycled through his ears as he compartmentalized what everything. He had heard of a demon scroll before, but he was curious to know if it were the same thing he was familiar with. The explosion behind him was unexpected. Legion questioned the situation while the silver-haired demon glanced over his shoulder. This unknown man was not friendly enough to turn his back to.
"Hm, I wonder what is over there?"
BalialToday at 11:12 AM
"Want to go and have a look?" Legion said growing bored of the rather bland conversation he was prying from the silver haired demon. "Or we could chat some more if you want." He crossed his arms over his chest and took a seat on the rock once more.
HeliosToday at 11:17 AM
Internally he was curious to place his eyes upon the thunderous crash and roar off in the distance, but he kept his cool as he had demonstrated this whole interaction. He was indeed intrigued by the random findings of this aloof demon.
"I was interested in those findings. What exact demon scroll did you come across?"
BalialToday at 11:22 AM
"Along my travels I discovered this," he rummaged through his pouch as he spoke, and then tossed it to Shusui. "It is in the ancient tongue, not many-" Legion cut his sentence off as another explosion crashed through the forest. "Only those that are elder demons speak it, but their aura corrupted the scroll and can tempt those who have it into the world of 'sin and chaos' in common terms."
HeliosToday at 11:31 AM
The scroll seemed in slow motion as it was tossed towards him. His gaze was wide as it captured the movements of the demon man in front of him along with the scroll's flight path. Both hands moved quickly as he turned his shoulders to the left: right hand underneath his left, as the scroll found Shisui's left palm. The second explosion gave him a brief moment to peel part of the scroll apart, and scanned the top words before he gave suspicion. In was not in fact not from a young demon family, yet he played the part for the interaction.
"And you will give me something so quickly without even knowing me? If this scroll is so old and cursed, then how do I know this isn't a danger to me?"
BalialToday at 11:37 AM
"Because it curses the owner," Legion said nonchalantly. "Plus, you probably can't read it anyway and you're a demon." Legion stood up and reached his hand out for his possession. "Don't be so uptight. I have a feeling we will be meeting again soon though." Legion said waiting for his item so he could head toward the explosion.
HeliosToday at 11:43 AM
Legion's second comment made him chuckle and crack a smirk. He broke character ever so slightly as he backhand tossed the scroll back. "If we meet again then maybe you can read the scroll to me? I would be interested in what information lies within it as long as you are still the one cursed." Both of his hands retreated back underneath his garments. "Whatever that commotion is in the distance should prove to have some sort of interest to a demon collector such as yourself."
