Kaori
Admittedly, Kaori had mixed feelings with regard to Ash's new abilities.
Necromancers weren't something too often talked about back at Jade, but Kaori had heard enough about them. How they stole the souls of the dead, that they would lay with corpses in the night and drink the blood of innocent people. Even if half of what she'd heard was just rumors, Vermia's mere presence presented a risk.
For now though, she had to focus, as she and Ash were in the middle of battle.
"Let it make the first move, it'll leave itself exposed," Satsuhiro told the pair as they stared down another snow troll.
Kaori held her swordstaff at her side, but admittedly, her eyes were mostly on Ash. Moreso than looking to deal damage to the large monster ahead, she wanted to make sure she protected the half-demon. So, when the creature started running towards Ash, Kaori got ready to intercept it.
