Germophobia [Introduction]

Sol was lurking up in the rafters like he normally did most days when he was in the guild hall of Basilisk Fang when he suddenly heard the doors to the guild opening up and a man was foolish enough to say they were disgusting and needed to learn about hygiene. At that the Slayer woke from his nap and he yawned before he then heard Ahote question the man and asked him why he was hear . As he stood up Sol shifted into shadows before blending into them and then decided to question the man and hopefully get an answer out of him that wasent stupid.

From the shadows a huge clawed arm shot out along with another and landed along the sides of Ahote as Sol descended in his dragon form and shadowy as his piercing red eyes glared down at the man.” you would do well to answer my sons question why are you here” he growled as he waited for the mans answer.

It seemed like it was time for Yuiisai to take the plunge into the adders pit as when they woke up they had found an envelope on their low mahogany table. Opening it they half expected it to be another task to go do something they found distasteful, but was surprised to find this was in fact not the case. "Directions?" they seemed confused as they placed the letter down moving to bathe themselves and allowing their hair to dry before tending to it. There would be no way they would ever think of leaving this place without being fully dry in fear of catching their death, that and they had the worry that they would be given into trouble had they even thought of doing so. "I wonder what is at the end of this?" they said to themselves as they began to brush their hair neatly putting it up, pinning it and adorning it with trinkets before dealing with their make up before finally dressing in a spring green and white hanfu.

Once ready they placed an outer layer on with large willow sleeves to keep their hands warm, not that it would matter given they had to look at directions and began to leave the castle that they had grown accustomed to. Looking at the directions every now and then they swore that they were getting lost unable to follow them, but it wasn't like they could ask for directions for other than a few wolves where they stood was barren of life. "I really am not made for places like these..." they complained quietly to themselves, but this was where Sol called home so had no choice but to call it home themselves. After wandering a few miles they found a hunting party and managed to find whereabouts in the directions they where, in honesty the weather was also picking up and the cold was starting to seep in so hoped they would find the location soon. Thanking those in the party they continued along the route they had been given till they seen what looked like an old creepy castle.

"You got to be kidding me..." was the only thing that seemed to escape their lips as they hesitantly walked towards it, bringing their arms to their body almost fighting to keep the warmth in as a harsh and unforgiving wind passed knocking them into the snow. Sitting for a moment they shuddered "Why couldn't I have been blessed with fire magic instead of what I was cursed with?" they chattered standing the silk wet now due to the snow making them feel even worse. Eventually they made it to the old castle and looked to how run down it seemed "I.. is this the right place?" they felt dirty just by looking at how the handle of the door was but as another harsh wind dashed past they couldn't help but let out an eep before opening the door and sliding in after all any place had to be warmer than what they had just faced.

Their eyes now looked around and they noticed all the dust, the mildew and musty smell their sleeve going to their nose not liking it one bit "You have got to be kidding me..." they said for the second time as many hours. "My clothing is going to get filthy and I'm pretty sure I'll catch something if I breath or touch anything while I'm here." they had no idea that they had just said such critical things about their guilds hall, but even if they had it wouldn't have changed a thing. With a scented breath of air thanks to their clothing the lifted their hanfu a little and began to walk around keeping their sleeve covering their nose and mouth. Hearing someone's voice they moved towards it standing at the door of the room they where in "I know about hygiene and yeah... kinda on your side on this one, though I don't think theirs enough cleaning supplies in Fiore." they said honestly, it was then they seen two familiar faces and bowed a little to them both though made no effort to uncover their face or drop their clothing "I don't even know why I'm here to be honest..." remembering one of the questions that had been asked of the stranger as they looked around the room shivering, they wanted to be back in their warm, clean scented room but had a bad feeling they where going to be here for a while.
