Ruvel put his hand to his head and sighed as he listened to Sol's seeming boast about being a dragon and thus even in human form would likely not take much harm.
"Mr. Terumi, my summon Bennu is four months old and is thirty feet tall, now imagine him as a fully grown adult; then if you look to your feet you will also take note of the obsidian that he created when he landed. His kind have the hottest fire of any Phoenix so could easily weaken dragonic scales, so please don't be so prideful it will be your undoing." Ruvel himself wasn't saying any of this to boast to the other but to teach him not to take everything at face value, many would see Bennu and think he was fully grown and if not paying attention may have missed the obsidian that was created due to the heat caused by the golden flames. This was because while he allows people to ride on him the flames remain at a comfortable level of each individual he carried.
"I said what I did before not to chastise you but due to a deep concern I have, what I said now on the other hand is very much a very blunt chastise. To many people rely on their eyes and thus take them at face value, this is why they are fools who often don't last long. Please remember this as I would hate to see your grave being dug because of blatant stupidity or foolish pride." with that he turned his eyes back to Rasparov dreading what he was truly thinking of this whole situation because he was sure his words were still far kinder but that was a minefield he would rather avoid if he could help it.
"We also keep you reminding you of the fall because if this had been a hostile area we would have had to keep you safe while you recovered meaning we would be putting ourselves and possibly others at risk." he wasn't about to tell him that Rasparov would likely let him die for the idiotic mistake, he wanted to make sure such a thing was being drilled into the stubborn and prideful dragon's head because his summons would keep him safe before anyone else even if he told them to do otherwise, he was their bridge from their homes to this realm and had a binding contract to each other until Ruvel eventual passing.
"And I realise I may seem to be repeating myself and this is because I'd rather not have to kill you because of a relapse in behaviour... our company has taken a great risk vouching for you and your companions..." he started with a sigh his hand going to his head again
"Where your companions are not known throughout Earthland it has come to my attention you were due to your actions.." his voice changing from its normal stoic nature to something colder as two glowing moon blue eyes with golden amber at the centre looked to him
"I would hate to have to put you down because you put him at risk little lizard." the voice that came through though sounding like the normal boy that both would be use to there was a darker more sinister tone that showed that this wasn't an idle threat but a promise, a smirk on his face for a short moment before it faded after blinking Ruvel's eyes returned to being dual coloured.
"I feel dizzy..." he said leaning against a near by tree as he seemingly caught his breath and balance unaware of what had just happened, after a few long moments he got back into the line with the others.
"I know Rasparov and that is why I am glad you are on our side.." his eyes looked to the taller man as he didn't know if it was of his own choice or not but he wasn't about to ask in public, they had a mutual understanding on their secrets and there was to much for them both to lose if one spoke to much about certain things. When Demi and Rasparov sparred or on the rare occasion the two did speak the training hall or room in question was in lock down for both parties sake, when they where out like they where at current their tones where so gentle that only the other could pick up on the words knowing there were other slayers and just how sensitive their hearing was so didn't want to be overheard.
Hearing Rasparov's words and advice he nodded agreeing that it would just be plain stupid to fight their way in, collect the client while being hunted and fight their way out of the country again.
"Agreed, but before we collect our client masks on; the last thing we need is bad relations between this place and the company." he whispered back so only Rasparov could knowing that a fight would break out at some point especially with two fighters and people in the way of them getting to their goal. He turned to Sol with a serious look
"Before meeting the client mask on just in case, I said the same thing to Rasparov." he just preferred to be safer than sorry, his voice was still low as a whisper but this time loud enough they'd both hear him. Knowing the facade that Rasparov gave when they had been close he slid his own passport to where Rasparov held his own. He then heard Sol's suggestion to his dilemma but then had a better idea
"As we are the same rank that wouldn't work Mr. Terumi but thank you for the suggestion." he said calmly as they got to the front of the line, hearing for their passports being called for he sighed silently hating when he had to act like an aristocrat but it couldn't be helped he already could feel the smirk of 'his' butler.
"Rasparov, show the man the papers he desires so we can continue on our way, we have got an appointment to keep and I will not tolerate being tardy for any reason." he said to the other not looking back because he already knew what was coming the moment they were out of ear shot of the guards in question.
"Is everything in order?" he asked looking to the captain of the guard who had taken the passports when offered
"Your magic level doesn't match your rank..." he commented looking to Ruvel suspiciously
"Yes, this is because of the way my magic works; I use a long lost form of summoning, my magical essence flows into the bonds even when they are not summoned." he said with an irritated tone
"And no I am not going to waste my energy, magic, time or my summons time to give you a demonstration; now if you please I am on very important business for my trading company to the Onaiisei family." the man seemed to whiten at the name Ruvel had mentioned and stepped out of the way.
"Much better... I will report this digression however if we are late." with that he moved into the city
"Maera..." he whispered the small jingle of a bell heard behind Ruvel's hair
"Big sister can you get us directions to the artisan's area of town please." he asked listening as the small bell could be heard now in the distance. He knew they now had to wait for Sol before they could head forward but for now they would out of eye and ear shot as his summon gathered the required information she had been asked for.
