Fuoco Forest

"But of course, Why else would anyone partake in the event of killing, for the adrenaline burst? no, for pure enjoyment." He stated with an almost discernable smirk, due to his demon guise.

"Hmm...quite right you are charcoal man..." He does not say this to insult Valentia, he only says it because the tone of his skin is black. The innocence of how he talks to Valentia should tell him that the kid before him is not mentally right. "...I remember something about my past...I...I do believe that I killed my village..." He looks at the treetops above and smiles. "It was quite...fun.."

(charcoal man lol) He chuckles deeply at the sadistic memories hes recalling. "So you killed your entire village, and how old were you when you did?" he asked on a more somber note. As he had an experience much like this one

(I have such a way with words don't I? XDD) At this question Ikusa starts to bite on his index finger's nail. His brow furrows in great concentration, which is odd for Ikusa. "I....I....maybe I was 12..? No..no..that doesn't sound right...hmm..m-maybe...16? Yes..that seems right..16...Huh. I'm 18 now...." He looks back at the man, Valentia, and shrugs. "I',m not so sure how my marshmallows came to be in the oven..." By marshmallows, it is assumed that Ikusa menas 'memories/thoughts' and by oven he means 'forgotten, lost, deteriorated, etc.'

At this he chuckled darkly in a manner not expected from anything but a demon. "You seem to be quite sadistic in nature child." After that statement he became calmer. "Did you regret any of it?"

He smiles at the man. "No." He then frowns and looks a bit concerned. "...Should I?"

He stares at him.... the finally says "Until you atone for past crimes you will always carry a burden of unimaginable weight." He then takes on his human guise. "...I'm still atoning for mine" and as he said that a slight smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth

"Perhaps...But...what did you do..?" He stares curiously at the man. The conversation at this moment has been one of the most intense Iksa has partaken inin nearly two years. His mind is beginning to take hsape once again, but barely. It is not enough to permanently bring him back to sanity.

Reason's eyes flit over to the delicate woman at her side. "No...I don't suppose he will. But I suggest you find some place safe. Hopefully he won't find you." She looks the girl up and down...This girl seems far too...what's the word I'm looking for? Prim? Proper? Prissy? Is she the new 'damsel in distress'? Reason straightens up and inhales deeply. She should probly head back to the palace before her mistress begins to wonder where she is...

"That sounds like a good plan!" Clarice replied in a kind tone with a gentil smile upon her rosey lips. She eyes the female's ears and put her finger to her lip "Those are rather strange!" she stated, pointing to them. "They have quite an interesting shape."she added, standing akimbo.

He looked at the man..."It was at least 200 years ago I'd guess...Seeing on how I dont really age, I took a kingdom coup' style, and slaughtered anyone who got in ym way, including my father, a man who had raised me from birth." he said somberly with no hint of emotion

"Hmmm...why did you do this Valentia? Is it your nature to desire power?" Ikusa says this..since he is to damaged to realize that Valentia is not a mortal man.

He chuckles darkly "To a degree. but, whats done is done....and I need to attone" he says simply his eyes still devoid of emotion.

"So...by killing me..you..think...your actions..will attoned for..? Erase your mistakes...by cleanisng the world of...me?" He says this in confusion, not entirely understanding what he is talking about, or if he even knows what he meant. It is almost like..a more enlightened Ikusa has spoken.

"Not exactly, I hope to kill those who in turn have sinned...I know must would see this as a hypocracy, I however do not." he said simply "Furthermore, Who said I was to kill you?" he asked nonchalantly.

"Hmm...well...you're still...all black...and you said something before about seeing my death..so any modern platypusc ould see that you are going to kill that tree.."

"Only if you persisted in the matter of..." he pointed to the girls "...harming them, and from what I can tell, it seems you wont, but who knows. I might have to." as he said that he smirked.

Reason blushes slightly at the girl's statement about her pointed ears. "Ah, yes. I'm...an Elf." she mutters shyly, awaiting the girl's reaction. Most people would pick up a pitch-fork and chase her down...

He stared at the man. "But they are assassins..I just barely escaped with my life!!" He persists.

"An Elf!? Very unique!" Clarice repeated after the female, raising an eyebrow at the words. She could not believe it. Clarice once again looked at her ears "Well, besides the that, you seem pretty normal to me!" she exclaimed with a wide smile. "You don't seem vexatious or unpleasant. I like you!" she added with a soft nod "My name is Clarice of the Monteverde's, how about you?" she asked in a mellow tone with a soft smile on her lips.

The edges of Reason's lips tug upwards in an unvoluntary smile. Clarice reminded her of Juliet Capulet of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. "My name is Reason Roth of the village Solace." She steps behind a tree, still hearing the voice of the crazy fuck. Reason suddenly blushes at her derogatory thought. How uncensored she's being!

He looks at him strangely "Two girls are trying to kill you?" he looks at the two girls. then back at Ikusa "I doubt they're assasins." he stated calmly

"Then why else would they suddenly appear and yell at me like they did?! T'was obviously a war cry..." A bee passes into Ikusa's field of vision and he follows it with his eyes. His train of thought and foucus are completely centered on the bee.

He saw the mans atention waver..."Well, there a few things that could have inspired those actions, I don't know...I wasn't there." he stated

Ikusa's head snaps back to the voice. "Valentia..are you here to take me somewhere?"
