"So, would you let me in on your argument just now, or?" Raph asked as he released the aura over his long sword, and retreated it into his subspace.
Malicia and Raja glanced at each other, before sighing in defeat.
"It wasn't an argument. We simply had a conversation" Malicia replied while she pulled her arm away from Raja.
"Um, okay then. So, who sent you and what was your purpose for coming here?" Raph asked while he folded his hands and glanced at them.
Malicia slowly rubbed the side of her third eye while she struggled with the urge to keep silent. An image of the scene that had occurred only a few minutes ago played out in her head, and the very thought of keeping silent disappeared. She looked up at Raph and replied.
"We were sent by a Merchant. We don't know the details, other than he's from the west but sides with the east". Malicia explained.
