[It was getting dark, and Noel was still in the forest. Even though at this point she was getting the hang of navigating through the area... it was probably a silly idea to stay out for long; after all, she knew the potential dangers she risks facing for merely being alone out here.

Of all the people she'd encounter out here in the wilderness tonight, though, she didn't expect to see Miss Litchi. Alone. After a double-take, Noel looks at the woman, dumbfounded.]

Miss... Litchi?

[The words fall on deaf ears. Satisfied that her path is cleared, Litchi just starts forward again, picking up speed when Noel starts to run again.

The Azure... it's so close...!]

[Oh god, oh god. You know what? Running in a straight path may not be a good idea. Quickly glancing to her side, Noel will make a sharp turn and force her way through more shrubbery and any other similar obstacles onto hopefully eventually another path out of here. Maybe that'll slow Litchi down?]

[Here's another obstacle, but Noel may not be so lucky to avoid this one, as a big burly man happens to step out into Noel's path. He ain't exactly sure what's going on, but the fact Litchi is chasing Noel around can't be good.]

The hell's going on here?

[No. No. The Azure... something is blocking her path.

Remove the obstacle. Nothing can get in the way.

Litchi's body all but blurs with the sheer speed she shifts into her attack with. Launching into a fiery jumping kick, she means to knock Goroh clear out of the way.]

[You have no idea how thankful she is to see you right now. She can get help!

...Only, you've blocked her way out, and she's been forced to skid to a stop.] Mr. Goroh!

[She doesn't have much time here--] Miss Litchi, she's--kyah!

[Just as she turned around, Litchi was already soaring in; intent on taking Goroh out of the picture. Noel moves, her reflexes managing to get herself out of the crossfire in time. Goroh, move!]

[He moves, but not out of the way. Fortunately Noel moved on her own, or he'd have to push her out of the way. He brings his sword out immediately, turning the flat end of it up in defense and blocking the kick. His left hand moves up against the other side of the weapon, keeping it solid in spite of her kick.

And when foot meets metal, he just pushes back to throw her off balance.]

[Being thrown off-balance only works so long. She recovers with a flip and lands neatly on her feet.

And whirls immediately to attack again, charging in to ram him with her shoulder. Sword? What sword?]

[All Noel can do is stand and watch helplessly as the two fight. Her eyes widen when Litchi charges in again; her speed almost...inhuman.]

Watch out!

[No point in him sticking around for that. He's fast and agile for his size (ask him to do a backflip some time, he will make that shit happen), but even he has trouble getting out of the way of that one. For the most part he does and she ends up getting him in the side of the arm. Well hell if that isn't going to leave mark in the morning. For a skinny woman, she packed a punch.]

The hell's wrong with you, Litchi? Calm down!

[You see these eyes? These completely blank eyes? They're a good indicator that Litchi is not at home. Her body may be moving, but it's clear from the blank stare that she's not really seeing anything.

Although there's a faint glimmer of annoyance in her face now. The obstacle hasn't been removed. She moves from the shoulder charge into a flaming flip-kick.]

Miss Litchi... [This is almost surreal to watch. What should Noel do? What can she do? Right now, she's...useless.

Is it... my fault?]

[This would be so much easier if Litchi was someone he could just slice in two, but trying to defend himself in close combat against someone he can't bring himself to hurt? Pretty damn hard.

He ends up throwing himself backward, letting the kick pass inches from his face, as he flips backwards, lands on his hands (no easy task with a sword in hand), and pushes himself even further back until he's completed the back flip on his feet. He immediately pulls out his blaster and fires a warning shot in front of her.]

Bitch, don't make me shoot you. You're not the only one in this town who can patch up wounds.

[She stops in her tracks, seeming confused. All this time, the things blocking her path haven't struck back. The Azure is still out of reach, and now...

She stays back, her breathing a little ragged, seeming as if she's waiting on the next move.]

Please, don't! [Sorry, Goroh. For a moment there, she actually thinks you're going to shoot her down.] Th-There has to be another way to stop her! We just need to find a way to wake her up, and...!

[...uh, how? noel, stop being stupid.]

Can it, Blondie, she ain't in her right mind. Better I stun her now, we sort out everything later.

[His thumb moves up to the power settings on the blaster. He's got a feeling for someone like Litchi, the standard stun setting isn't going to be enough. better turn it up a few notches.]
