Damage control was never her strong suit, it required the ability to lie and lie well. She never really could manage that. Besides, the truth always sounded crazy and no one would ever believe her anyway.
Aria slowly stood up. Her pants soaked in blood. Thankfully the leather coat had escaped mostly unscathed. Aria wiped the blade upon her pants, it was the best she could do right now. The blade would have to wait till she got home for a proper cleaning.
Once Aria was satisfied the blade had been rid of some of the blood she slid it back in the sheath. The soft ring of metal on metal was always an alluring sound, and sad all at the same time.
"That was an Ijiraq."
The new comer then asked the most curious question of all and Aria didn't know if she should tell the truth, after all she was suppose to be hunting two of the three men here. Aria pushed up her sleeves, the edge of the her tattoo peaked out before the sleeve fell back to it's natural state when she let go. Aria sighed but was thankful that it never stayed, it was still very cold, and her body was beginning to feel the cold air on her skin. Her pants were starting to give her a chill.
Aria tried to look like she was curious about the other two, but she knew she failed, but it was not her secret to tell and she wasn't about to tell these two men they might be gods reborn.
"I'm Aria. But that's about as much as I'll tell you about who I am. As for the other question"
Aria lied, "I have no idea."
