The Voice [Private]

"You look like absolute hell, Taliya," Anastasia said as she was nursing her guardian back to even 25% operational. The crew had a long night of partying last night after receiving a massive haul that was 'commandeered' from a Bosco fleet heading back to their country in Mirai. It seemed the Myrmidon had become quite the name in Mirai due to high piracy. Best to keep a low profile and maybe even paint the Myrmidon to avoid detection. Thankfully, the only way Ana is known is through rumors and not by actual appearance. That is one good thing about having a large mecha as her armor instead of doing things that show her face.

Taliya held a large cup of coffee up to her lips as she sipped at it. Her eyes were half opened looking like death warmed over. The steam coming from the cup soothing her skin and slowly prying her blood-red eyes opened. A drawn-out groan could be heard coming from Taliya as she looked towards the chipper blonde, who seems to be in good form. "Why are you drunk off your ass?"

"Because I know when to stop drinking, idiot," she said with a little laugh, patting the fluffy guardian's head. Her hair felt like soft velvet laid out on a warm summer day. Ana's smile persisted while Taliya drank her coffee. "But seriously, put on some clothes, you're attracting far too many eyes," she said as she looked around, dropping the smile as she noticed the perverted gaze from some of the younger and older men in the cafe and looks of disgust from some of the women. All Ana could do is respond with a shrug of her shoulders before turning to look back at Taliya.

"Easy for you to say. Everything else burns when I wear it," she exclaimed before taking another sip of her extremely strong brew. Her species are known as the Sun Spirits, so naturally they radiate their own heat and work off of the power of the sun. Anastasia turned to look out of the cafe to watch the snow slowly fall to the ground, coloring everything in a pure and pristine white color. Anastasia knew this, but still constantly gives Taliya grief.

The bell of the front door rang and a cool breeze blew into the cafe to see someone clothed heavily. A powerful tingling feeling came from the direction of the door, causing Anastasia to turn and look intensively. She still doesn't understand the meaning behind this prickly feeling; though she will eventually learn that it is the presence of a dragon slayer. Anastasia narrowed her eyes for a moment before Taliya looked over to see the woman that entered with the exceed.

"She wears the exact same coat you do, Ana," Taliya said as she is slowly returning to her normal self. Ana twitched. It was extremely minor and shouldn't bother her, but god damnit! A little grumble came from Ana's lips as she noticed it was the woman she met earlier. Ana couldn't recall her name for the life of her, but she did remember that she was the daughter of Heero. Strange, the two look to be the same age. Must have been some REALLY strong magic at play.

"Hey!" Ana said towards Hera as she raised a hand as if to get her attention.

As soon as Anastasia called over Hera and Rose, Taliya's head slammed down upon the table with a grumble.  Her head was pounding like hell from the hangover.  Ana scratched the back of her head with a laugh.  "Well, I don't quite go around looking for trouble," she said to Hera as she approached.  Ana looked her up and down as well, still a bit jealous at how big her breasts are.  Urgh.  How unnerving.  Even with the contracts Ana has made, which made her breasts grow, she's still nowhere near that size.  Then again, if hers were TOO big, they would weigh her down and cause back problems in the future.  "My men and I had business here, doing a delivery," she explained.  Yeah, she actually did deliveries as well for large freight when the time was needed.  She isn't always about smuggling or thieving.

The Exceed spoke out and Ana simply gave the little creature a smile before giving off a laugh.  "Well, anyone that's related to Heero probably has some very strong magic power.  I saw it with my own eyes a few years ago when the Priory invaded.  So I'd rather not," she said with a bit of a chuckle.  She did, indeed, see the raw power of Heero and most certainly didn't want to be on the receiving end of something as devastating as that.  And it was a strange coincidence that those children of powerful mages also inherited their strength, if not more.  At least that's how it was like in her manga that she read.  Not too certain it worked like that in the real world, but she most certainly isn't willing to give that a shot.  

"Besides, I'm more of the non-combative type if necessary," she stated.  While she didn't particularly like single-engagements during a battle, being that she still wasn't too confident in her solo combat abilities, she also likes to use other means of completing her objective.  In reference to what the Exceed stated about her hair, she casually began to twirl her hair around her left index finger.  She always had some pretty long hair, she just had it put up most of the time.  As she does now.

Hera began to speak over Taliya groaning in agony.  She began speaking of a strange magic similar to a Dragon Slayer's magic, but with no elemental property attached.  This was, indeed, a bit strange.  As far as she was aware, all dragons had some form of elemental affinity and hearing about one without an elemental affinity was just strange.  Even Fafnir, the dragon that gave her her power had an elemental affinity.  He was obviously a sound-based dragon, utilizing it's voice for it's power.  It then dawned upon Hera that she was referring to her magic.

Anastasia sighed outward and darted her eyes to the side.  And then Hera made a threat of blowing this place up.  Not that that would help her get the answer if she and several other people were in hundreds of pieces.  "You know, if you blow this place up, you'll never get your answer, right?" Ana said, sighing.  "I'm pretty sure chunks of meat don't talk."

"I made a contract with a dragon.  In order to fulfill my end of the bargain, I was given my power," she said, keeping the contents of the contract vague.  She hadn't even told her partner-in-crime Nao; why would she tell someone she hardly knew like Hera?
