Not even. The Lava Elementals weren't going to give her the time of day for it. Ducking and weaving through the blows, their liquidish forms only served to heat her blade up further, distorting Doombringer's form slightly and leaving it with a char. NIGHT sucked in air in frustration, continuously trying to swipe at them with her sword. It only helped that, since she was on the attack, her opponents weren't capable of striking back either. The player continued to curse anyway, not wanting her friend's hard work to be moulded by creatures unknown on the field.
Taking a bit of a retreat, she sighed, wondering if it was a good move to abscond. If her calculations were right, it would be better if she just hung onto waiting for her energy to restore, before unleashing an attack to decimate all her foes at once. That would be her plan then -- either go big, or go home (metaphorically).

Prime example of why NIGHT should be paying more attention in combat. Let's go over the facts:
-
When she'd looked away for a split second, an elemental had followed up on her with a gut punch, scalding her stomach and leaving her breathless.
-
Trying to stop herself, she sank her blade into the dirt, almost hitting Nyanko who was near her at the time.
-
Her Tempest had shocked and slayed only two of her opponents, leaving the other two she'd encountered early open to attacking her.
-
She was definitely running out of options with her limited energy pool.
NIGHT cursed, and sucked on the side of her cheek, annoyed. She continued to fiddle with the grasp on her blade. It wasn't going to be easy dealing with two enemies when she was on her last legs. Was she going to have to abscond again?
Maybe, if luck was on her side, she could take out at least one of them before considering that option.

Perhaps, if NIGHT was a little more aware, she would've realized that her greatest skill was probably not as great as an opener in combat as she thought it would be.
Instead, her visceral cuts struck true to her enemies consistently, and this was going according to plan, yes. However, the moment she made herself known and gave her enemy the chance to strike back... that was a folly whose onus was on her, and her alone. With a swing, one of the lava elementals she was going up against struck her hard into her arm, scathing and charring her arm, never mind her armour. She winced, after jumping backwards, shaking the pain away. Every strike was a reminder that there was a better move she could take to keep her out of harm's way, and death's grasp.
She glanced behind her, to Nyanko, who was watching from a distance away. As long as he was safe from the elementals and their fire...

After his meal, Nyanko was up for some play time, it seemed. While NIGHT was cleaning and returning the bowl to her inventory, he pawed and chewed on the feathers that were only laying on the floor, unmoving. What a strange, energetic cat. She pet him gently, before waving the toy around. At least he was up for playing now.
"It's a little strange, Nyanko," she chided gently, watching as he jumped up to grab the toy. "Shouldn't you be conserving energy at this point of the day?"
The cat didn't respond, too focused on catching the enigmatic colourful feathers. She chuckled, as his head continued bobbing up and down and all around. At last, she let him have his catch, grabbing the feathers by his two paws, nibbling at the stick with his fangs. "Awww... Good job!"
NIGHT ran her fingers over his fur some more, before deciding they should head onwards, storing the toy away, much to Nyanko's disappointment.

Who knew Mount Kazan was so accommodating?
It was a jest, of course, as NIGHT began to feel the heat bear down on her, Nyanko not looking to well for his troubles either. As the two stopped for a rest, she brought out some water -- a bottle for her, and a bowl's worth for her kitten. With a tilt of her head, she chugged down the liquid, taking large gulps as her familiar took tentative licks instead. When the adventurer had emptied her container, she watched it shatter with a crunch, smashing it in her hand.
On the other hand, she took back her kitten's bowl when it was empty, filling it with food instead. "You've gotta be hungry by now," she stated, portioning out the meat in the paper package, much to Nyanko's vocal delight. When the cat began his feast, NIGHT brought out the feather wand from earlier, setting it down beside his bowl. He took a glance at it, before returning to his meal, nonchalant about the object, and NIGHT smiled. By now, it was enough for her if he just got used to seeing it at all.

Familiar Training Success 1/3. -
Where was she? Couples? Ah, yes. If it weren't for her preferences, maybe she would've taken Yukiro up on his offer. But the thought of a relationship at all was terrifying. How could one put their whole trust in another? She'd seen the torn and sick souls back at the Town of Beginnings, the seedy underbelly of the city on top of its pleasant facilities. It wasn't a miracle that she was still walking today, rather, the miracle laid in her mental health and sanity that kept her going still.
Talk about how one could spend two years in a city where they had nothing, and you'd end up with the first floor. Sure, there used to be leaders who'd try to keep everyone reassured and safe, but soon the refugees split into factions. When no one kept the group together, the whole team fell apart, and then...
... Another day. NIGHT was doing something now. She'd hold herself to it.
-
To say that she missed her mother was a bit off from the mark. It wasn't so much of missing, since they had a tumultuous relationship beforehand. But she didn't want her to worry about her only child being lost somewhere, trapped and unable to speak to her. It wasn't on purpose. Not this time.
Her hands began to clam up thinking about this. NIGHT tried to control her breathing, staggered, recalling her face and her mannerisms. So, so beautiful, her mother did try to keep her youth and beauty alive, but it was a struggle putting up with the woman beneath the mask. Expectations, instructions and so much more. The player shuddered, trying to keep her eyes on the road, and her mind off reality, just a little more.
She took notice to another flat ledge of a platform they could rest at. It would still take a moment's journey to get there, but at least Nyanko could finally stop bearing his paws into the soil.
-
There was no rhyme or reason as to why NIGHT was out in the fields by the Town of Beginnings. It was just one of those days where she felt unwell being in her workshop the whole day. A quick jog outside would help, where there was fresh air, and so she ended up here, making her rounds through the fields. There was a part of her half expecting to see some of her friends -- she knew at least one of them should be out training, but maybe the person in question had outgrown her roots. NIGHT wasn't sure. She hadn't kept up with people nor their well-being these days.
Past the happy families and couples (NPCs? Who else would bring children out here?), a flash of light had caught her eye, as someone donned a piece of equipment nearby. Thrown out of her thoughts, NIGHT glanced over to the stranger. They must be new, she figured. I haven't seen their face before. This far out of town, it could only mean they were undertaking a quest, specifically one containing Nepents. She shivered. Maybe today was a good day for helping others, despite the quest conditions. She ought to try.
NIGHT ran over to the man, raising a hand over as a greeting. Her kitten stuck his head out of the bag holstered on her waist as she slowed to a stop. "Hey," she huffed, barely managing to make the words out. "Sorry-- give me... a moment..."
When she had finally managed to catch her breath, she began again, "You're just starting out, right? Are you looking for nepents by any chance?"

Yukiro... also had taken a liking to Tala. It was interesting to think that Koga's little sister would be the eye of his affection. If she was anything to go by, he should do well with her by his side. The girl seemed to be nice to talk to, and NIGHT definitely enjoyed her company. Maybe she would be the key to getting the boy to relax a bit.
Couples, couples... Didn't Randal also have a girlfriend? Lost on the outside, stuck not knowing what happened to the fate of her loved one... NIGHT's found herself choked at the thought of it all. A hand placed to the mountain face beside her, as she continued her trek up the slope. Gods, she couldn't imagine what it must be like to be her. While she had spent the last two years forging contacts with other players, she felt a bit thankful she hadn't anyone to worry about too much.
... Except her mom, of course...

NIGHT wasn't one to share her thoughts much, but the trek up was long and monotonous, so she figured she'd have something on her mind, while trying to keep steady during her journey upwards.
Her first was what her friends were up to. She hadn't exactly seen them in a while. Noctua and Koga were certainly a fine pair, she mused, and wondered how they spent their time together. Didn't they also have a shop together as well? Maybe those were the tell tale signs she should've picked up on long ago.
Speaking of which, Yukiro was also one to wonder about. NIGHT had hoped she hadn't left the guy crushed under the weight of his own emotions, but life found a deafening way to tell her otherwise. She found her fingers around her wrist as she thought on this, sighing tiredly. It's no fun letting someone down like that; she just didn't have the skill to do it gently.

[12/12/19]
It was probably luck, NIGHT concluded, as she went over the trinkets she had made. Uncommons, lined up in a row. Well, at least they'd make for good decor, right?
... Eh, maybe not. She set them aside, now stacking her less-than-ideal crafts in a wooden plate. A discard pile of sorts, she concluded, but there was no harm in keeping a handful around just for a bit. At least her kitten was enjoying them. She watched as Nyanko pawed at the stack, having taken residence on her table for the moment, as she cleaned up Athena's Lens with a cloth.

If he was tracking her, he would've been ready to pounce, right? That should've made sense to anyone who's vaguely interested in cats. NIGHT pulled out her cat toy again, crouching down and waving it around, trying to provide her kitten with the satisfaction of the kill.
Instead, Nyanko toppled over, rolling around on the rocky floor. His bright eyes only left her gaze when the toy was on his snout, and NIGHT sighed, after a minute of trying to get her familiar to train. "That's alright, I guess," she commented, waving the feather wand away and scratching at his chin. He purred a gentle hum, tiny paws holding onto her finger, never wanting to let go.
"But we gotta," she replied, easing up on her tickles. Nyanko beeped back, his grip slipping as NIGHT attempted to get up. The kitten energetically followed in suit, rising and trotting behind the adventurer as she continued her ascent up the mountain.

But also, this goat was close to death. So who was she to hold back on it when the fruit's ripe for the taking? With the last of her resources, she poured her efforts into preparing for a continued sweep. In a flash, her spins began to bury her sword deep into the belly of the beast when it stood up, crushing its hopes and dreams of survival.
As its remains scatter into the wind, NIGHT sunk her sword into the dirt, watching the scatter of blue dust float over the landscape below. She would've pondered over the fragility of life, if it weren't for the loot window that appeared, disrupting her thoughts the moment she began getting philosophical. Right, she was here for a task, and she was running of daylight with every passing second.
Picking up her weapon, she turned around, ready to herd Nyanko along. The kitten was in mid-walk, standing motionless and surprised when his gaze met his owner's.

As the goat came back to life from inanimation, it ran at NIGHT, swinging its horns, trying to knock the adventurer off-balance. The adventurer grinned, ducking as she raised her blade, edge pointed forward at the oncoming creature. The glow blinded both of them for a second, but the player knew what she had to do.
A swing across knocked the goat off balance, its side topping onto the ground. One stab to drag the woman across to reach it, then another slash down on her opponent. Two strikes, before the final draw, the blade of its foe clashing into its horns as the markhor scrambled to get up. Now it was down to the red, struggling to breathe as it did another lazy charge at the warrior, one she was quick to dodge, easily.
NIGHT raised her weapon again, in an effort to keep herself vigilant. She only wanted to be taught a lesson once before she could pick up its morals; in this case, it was not letting your guard down, and conserving enough energy to make safe bets.

Scrambling to her feet, she noticed one of the goats rushing in for a follow up attack -- one that would send her flying off the ledge, for sure. She had to do something drastic fast, and this was her best response -- dragging her blade upwards, she let loose a Tempest from her arsenal of sword arts, exhaling at the same time, letting a cool wind pass through her lips.
Stunned. Stunned. Stunned. None of the goats were free of sin, especially not the ones who tried to charge at her. As the main trio faded into nothingness, she noticed a fourth still standing, a little bit away from the others. Wait, there were four? NIGHT stepped away from the edge for safety, raising her sword defensively. Was Nyanko anywhere nearby?
He was -- right behind her, actually. He had time to sneak in between the adventurer's feet, in hiding and in admiration for her taking out the goats, probably.

Just barely up the mountain and the duo could already spot their competitors. Markhor goats. Once again, they met each other, face to face. NIGHT wasn't about to swear on eradicating as many of them as possible, but if the opportunity presented itself, at this point...
A noisy set of mews from Nyanko made their heads turn, as the adventurer was preparing to charge up an attack. Yeah, okay, thanks Nyanko, she thought half-heartedly, as she swung her blade at her opponents. Her slashes engulfed the area around them six-fold, the size of her blade mercilessly cutting through their hide. What could stop her, however, was a swift charge at her gut, knocking her backwards, sliding near the edge of the ledge they were on.
Crap, I gotta be careful. NIGHT hesitantly turned behind her, noticing how far the drop was. She would survive, the woman was sure, but it still made her nervous nonetheless.

NIGHT stretched, the trek around the floor beginning to take its toll on her. Usually, by now, something cool might occur. But that wasn't the case today. The inhabitants of this floor were usually keeping to themselves, the dog-eat-dog nature persisting only if the beasts could help it, which was close to never. As she traveled along, she watched Nyanko's movements, fine and graceful, and wondered what was going on in the cat's head.
Then she went back to her own thoughts. Rocks. Rocks. More rocks. Maybe a boulder here and there. NIGHT really wished there was more vegetation on this floor, and she clicked her tongue at the idea of not finding anything special after walking for so long. Where could her next cool hunt be?
As she made her way towards town, it dawned on her, for the answer of their next training spot was sitting right beside it. Mount Kazan.

The scales continue to tip in NIGHT's favour, but she couldn't tell if it was sheer luck, or sheer skill, at this point. Athena's lens had been a boon the past few attempts, and it shined through once again here. As she touched up on the last item, her gaze wondered over to the items lined up on her shelves, if she should by any chance recycle them by any other means.
Perhaps she should, one would advise her. But the artisan was sentimental, just like her tutor, she guessed. The woman sighed, clambering out of her seat, ready to clean up and end the day's work where it was.

Just another time then. She pulled out the cat toy from earlier, remembering to save the meat this time, and crouched down. "Here, here," she cooed, watching Nyanko's eyes track the fluffy feathers. He raise a paw, almost ready to lunge at them, before sitting back on his hind quarters, remembering his prior instructions during training. NIGHT gave him a wry smile.
"Okay, fair enough," she responded, returning the toy to her inventory. "But today's training is all about hunting, Nyanko. You're a bigger cat now," her hand went to his head, rubbing it gently. "Bigger than the kitten I found you as, even if it's only just slightly. You can do it, I'm sure." The cat gave her a curt meow, eyes stoic in understanding, rising from his seated position. "Right," she added, standing up herself. "Let's keep going. Today's a good day for hunting, and that means I'm getting training in myself, too."

chrysanthemum, two sugars pleaseQuoteTo: NIGHT
Carry on. Also, got it.
Now with that settled, NIGHT went over her checklist again. Revenge, check. Scouting, check. Training? The adventurer gave Nyanko another glance. Nope, can't check that off just yet. The kitten was still curious about everything, though, and when he noticed her watching him, he stared back blankly, gave a cheerful meow back, before scampering over, awaiting his owner's instructions.

That's what she told herself, anyway. It justified the immediate follow up action she'd used before. With Tempest's help, the ground shook, force from the powerful blow stunning the goats in their place. As they bleated their last wails, the crown toppled to the floor, out of one of the goats' mouths. Their body began scattering into the wind, and Nyanko waddled out of his hiding spot, looking incredibly proud for no particular reason.
NIGHT couldn't help but grin upon seeing her kitten find peace with the outburst. She sure couldn't help but feel something sinister underneath the liking to chase and attack the goats, though, but even now she had a personal vendetta. Maybe she should reel it in a little.
The adventurer picked up the crown, examining it over to ascertain its durability. Looks clean. A ping came up on her interface, a subtle reminder that she hadn't returned a reply back to her agent just yet. Better get to it.

And who would be waiting at the bottom of the mountain? As NIGHT skid to a halt, running out from a bend, she gasped when she spotted the crown jewel -- in the mouth of one of those goats she'd spotted the other day. Damn, not again!
"Mew! Meeewww!" Nyanko started crying out, jumping from NIGHT's arms and rushing up towards them. "Wait--!" the adventurer called out, pulling her sword from its sheathe, readying her blade for another large attack. As the sword glowed bright, she yelled out once more, "Nyanko, watch out!"
The kitten turned around, eyes wide at the realization. He leapt, behind a section of the mountain that jutted out neatly, before the adventurer's first strike cut at the goats, notifying them of a hunter in their midst.
Calamity Disaster continued to play out, slicing at their horns and leaving their marks, and slashing away at their bristling fur. It didn't take long to lower their health to orange from green, but NIGHT knew they were going to be persistent.

NIGHT and Nyanko both watched the crown sail through the air, spinning, reflecting the light off the lava pool it was found on. The cat, still sat in his spot, casually watched it fly past him, bouncing off the ground, before dipping over the edge of the mountain, vanishing out of sight.
"Oh. Oh god. Oh no. Crap..." NIGHT pinched the bridge of her nose, wincing at her sudden outbreak of non-reason, trying to shake off a looming sense of dread encroaching on her. "Okay okay okay," the adventurer chanted, trying to rush over the narrow stone walkway before planning out her next move.
Nyanko approached her, coiling around her legs when she reached the other side, purring contently, seemingly clueless about the mistake of events that had occurred earlier. It was all the adventurer could do to pick up her familiar and start rushing down the mountain, trying to seek out where the crown would end up at, if it weren't already damaged from the fall.

Can you pick it up?
The moment of truth. Her hand grasped the weathered piece of jewelry by one of its sharper points. Half expecting some resistance, she tugged at it with the gentlest force she could muster. And again. And again.
It came off easily on the fourth try, shocking nearly nobody except herself. It was heavier than expected, though, and as NIGHT tried to store it in her inventory, that's when the system applied some resistance to her gesture. A notice window appeared. System action not allowed. Furrowing a brow, she composed another message to Bistro.
QuoteTo: Bistro
yeah but its not going into my inventory??
QuoteTo: NIGHT
That's strange. I suppose if you don't mind, you can keep it on you physically? We can take a look over it when we're back in my shop.
That checks out. She waved over to Nyanko, raising the crown in her hand. "Hey, fetch!"

Okay then. On the count of three. One -- Ow! Hey!
If the Lava Elementals weren't working in tandem earlier, well, they were now. She deftly blocked a blow that was coming for her, the firey, goopy fist slamming solidly into her blade's side, warping the metal underneath it. She hissed, trying to break free from the hold, when the other blindsided NIGHT with a warm, seething punch, scarring her cheek and taking a chunk out from her health.
Dammit, dammit, dammit--
The heat would subside, she knew that, and the system wasn't going to give anyone long-lasting damage to their physical self. But damn, did that blow hurt. She cursed, abandoning her count, and ran off down the mountain instead. Sheathing her blade, she picked up Nyanko, who was concerned by her feet, and left her opponents to eat her dust as they chased after her. If all she had to do was buy time, then that's what she would do.
