Dimitri slid in front of Jade, blood trailing down his face as he breathed harshly. "Lady, I don't know who you are or how you fight like that. But humans aren't supposed to be doing that!"
Jade slowly picked herself up and replied, "Well, I suppose what us 'humans' do is the least of your worries. I suppose you're an angelic like Kieran over there?"
"Th-that's right. Why are you – why... why aren't you scared of me?" Dimitri stammered.
Jade shook her head. "Why would I..." Her thoughts were cut off as she threw herself forward, grabbed his collar, and yanked him back just as Kieran's blade came within an inch of slicing his neck.
Dimitri looked up at her, his eyes wide as he saw the white flames in her eyes. "Are you somehow related to an angelic captain?! There's a skeleton I know who had those eyes when I was reborn!"
