-Yu-
Yu quickly raised an eyebrow at the young woman. By all accounts, she seemed pretty meek, apologized alot, and despite the fact that she was carrying about a sword and a shield, she gave off the impression that she was pretty helpless. That, and the sum of her features... was this the kind of person that they called a "moeblob" back home?
Yu quietly thought to himself that this woman was a little suspicious, but that just meant keeping an eye on her; no reason to really upset her if that wasn't the case. It was a long shot, anyways.
"Don't be afraid of Carl here; he looks pretty scary, but he's a nice guy, really. I'm Yu Narukami, and the taller lady there is Ri- er, Raiga." Yu extended his hand to the girl, a friendly smile adorning his face, "Its nice to meet you, Pyrrha."

[sorry for the late post, been a lot on my mind.]
Shifu looked to Krez, who nodded to her. "It's to be expected, Shifu. Give him your weapons." The female robot turned back to X and handed her rifle to him. It was then that a compartment in her thigh opened up to eject a laser pistol, and she handed that too to the blue reploid. With a loud whirring sound, Krez's shield arm ejected from his shoulder socket and fell to the ground with an alarming thud. "Would you be so kind as to carry my right arm?" he spoke to ZWEI. "I must warn you, it isn't light." The faceless robot then turned to X. "You should know that there is a plasma blade integrated into my left arm. I cannot eject it."
"It's nice to meet you, sweetie," Raiga chimed in. She smiled and nodded to Pyrrha as she continued about her business. "Never mind Carl, he's the jumpiest zombie you'll ever meet, but a nice guy nonetheless. Speaking of which, Carl you better pick those sticks back up. I'm a strong woman, but my arms can only hold so much." She gave Carl's shin a soft nudge with her foot as she walked past him. "So where do you come from, little lady? You're not out here all alone, are you?"
Schwarzwind Camp
Alucard watched as the martial artist scoffed at Siegfried, though made no attempt to reprimand him. Indeed, while he did have a certain respect for Siegfried and Hilde, he was not steadfastly loyal to them. They were allies, yes, but not his masters. Alucard himself could only watch Kazuya for so long, and so as the martial artist looked for a place to train a few bats materialized out of Alucard's cape along with two ghosts, stealthily following Kazuya into the woods. Alucard felt a tad thirsty, so he made his way to the food and drink in the camp. He took no interest in the food itself, but took a bottle of fine red wine. He took it with him along with a suitable glass, and sat at a table beside himself, resting one leg over the other as he made himself comfortable in his seat. After pouring himself a glass, he took a card out of a pocket in his cloak. On the card was a picture of a fairy, and as he held it, the picture began to move, waving at him before it reached up and separated itself from the card, flying about on insect wings in full form.
"Good evening, Master. How may I serve you?"
"I wish for you to sing for me," he requested with his deep, smooth voice.
"Of course, Master." Alucard then gestured with his hand for the fairy to sit on the edge of the table, and she did so, her tiny feet dangling off the edge of the table as she opened her mouth to sing. She had a beautiful, soft voice, singing a pleasant song that reminded Alucard of more pleasant times from long, long ago. Many of the soldiers payed the singing no mind while a scarce few stopped to listen to the voice of the fairy.

[[Work takes up quite a bit of my time currently. Apologies for that.]]
Pyrrha seemed to hesitate for a moment before stepping forward and gently shaking Yu's hand. She looked around at both Raiga and Carl, genuinely surprised that they were friendly. "Wow....uhm...honestly, I'm surprised that you're all so friendly. Most of the time people just go straight for attacking me." Carl raised an eyebrow at this while picking back up his sticks. "Attack you?" He questioned. "Why? You have a sword and shield, but you seem too meek to even attack a fly." The reaper meant no offense by this, despite how it sounded.
Pyrrha's expression became troubled, but she said nothing, ignoring him and answering Raiga. "No, I'm not here alone. I have a friend with me. She sent me out here to get some wood for the fire."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ZWEI looked at Krez and Shifu cautiously and picked up the male robot's shield arm. His eyes briefly widened as he grabbed it, realizing it was even heavier than he thought. The werewolf was still able to pick it up, but it felt as if he were carrying a block of lead. He then looked at X and shrugged.
"Disarming is a good first step. If they try to cause any trouble, they'll be at a major disadvantage. I think this works." He then picked up a pail of water with his free hand and started heading back to the camp.
Schwarzwind Camp
Suna overheard the beautiful, light, singing and snapped her head in its direction. It wasn't that surprising that it was coming from Alucard. Or, rather, the little fairy sitting with him. Such a beautiful tune was something that the maid could easily associate with the gorgeous man. She took a few steps closer, intent on listening to the fairy's lovely song, but said nothing. Alucard looked as if he were relaxed, enjoying himself. She did not want to interrupt, so she simply stood nearby and listened.

ZWEI seemed to have Krez under control, so X took initiative in securing the childlike robot. He approached her cautiously.
"Please deactivate any self-defense subsystems, jet boosters, anti-gravity modules, strength enhancements, and anything that can be used to evade capture. Failure to comply will be met with appropriate force...I'm sorry."
X approached the smaller robot from behind and placed his x-buster against his back. He tightly gripped the android's left arm, and nudged her forward. X took no pleasure in it, but he had to follow standard procedure even in these dark times. Especially in these dark times.

Julius listened in on the fairy's singing. He admired the tiny creature's voice, but that wasn't what intrigued. It was the creature's loyalty. Alucard had a special bond with many supernatural beings. This fairy was one of them. It was different than the bond Alucard's father had with such creatures. Alucard didn't hold the same kind of cruel dominion over his familiars that Dracula had. It was more of a kinship. A mutual understanding.
That was what separated from his father. Why he respected him.

The fairy continued to sing for a good while, singing for the joy of her master and any passerby, until without warning...
"You've been standing there for quite some time. Miss Hayashi, was it? Come, have a seat." Alucard casually gestured with his hand for her to sit at the table with him. "I insist."
City Group
"Well, do you want some of our wood to take back to your friend?" Raiga replied. "There's plenty to go around." She couldn't help but notice a dark aura coming from the girl, though at the same time she seemed rather sincere. Whatever that dark aura was, Raiga reckoned that it was part of the reason why others were so quick to attack her as she claimed.
The smaller blue robot gave X a look of resentment as he gripped her arm, as if to say "how dare you handle me?"
"They're doing their job, Shifu. We shouldn't expect anything less." Reluctantly, Shifu allowed X to escort her. It was bad enough to hand her weapons over to this stranger, but for him to treat her and her commander like a prisoners... she was unhappy, to say the least."

ZWEI and X returned to the camp with their two new "allies" in tow. Immediately Hilde got up from where she sat and approached them. The other mercenaries at the camp looked at the newcomers cautiously, each one ready to draw their weapons and strike if needed. The werewolf looked at the knight princess in front of him and held out his bucket of water towards her.
"Got the water at least."
Hilde gave him an annoyed stare before turning her attention to X. "Who are these two? I assume you found them in the forest? Were they hostile?"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pyrrha's eyes widened in surprise at Raiga's kind offer. She was taken aback at how friendly this group was, even more so than before. A smile grew on her face and she nodded at the older woman. "I'd really appreciate that, actually. I mean, if it's really no trouble for you."
On cue, a hand of black energy grew from Carl's back, picking up some wood and holding it in front of the young woman. She looked at the black appendage in disbelief for a second before regaining her senses and taking the firewood with a thankful nod. "Thank you so very much. I should be heading back now be-" Pyrrha was then interrupted by another woman. He voice was high-pitched and she was talking in a sing-song way.
"Pyrrrrrrrrrhaaaaaaa. Where aaaaaarreeee yooooooouuuu?"
It was at this moment that another woman came out from behind some trees. She was of average height, had incredibly pale skin (nearly chalk white), along with a beauty mole under her right eye, and had two braided pigtails, similar in shape to a jester's hat. Her hair was even dyed in a similar fashion, being a mix of white and two shades of purple. She wore a tattered green outfit that barely managed to cover her breasts along with extremely short black shorts and black leggings with black arm-length gloves. Dark grey armor covered her forearm and feet, both having a skeletal design. Her weapon, however, was oddest of all. It was a large ring blade, which she casually held behind her when she noticed Pyrrha standing with her new acquaintances.
The young woman's face brightened upon seeing Pyrrha and she skipped towards her cheerfully, stopping next to her and wrapping an arm around her.
"Oh, Pyrrha! I see you found the firewood! Good, I was starting to get worried!" She said all of this in an extremely dramatic tone. She then stuck her head close to Pyrrha's pressing their cheeks together. "Now, who are these people you've been with, hmm?"
The blonde woman looked from Raiga to Yu to Carl. "I just met them. They were here getting their own firewood and offered to help me. The gray-haired boy is Yu, the woman is Raiga, and the man in the cloak is Carl."
Tira studied each of them carefully before smiling at them deviously. "None of you are from around here...are ya?"
Schwarzwind Camp
Suna was taken aback by the sudden notice of her presence. Even more by the invitation to sit with Alucard. With a light blush upon her face she accepted his offer and took a seat at the table with him. She looked at him, then looked away. She had no idea what to say to him and was, frankly, finding it difficult to think straight at the moment. The emerald maid felt like she was in school and just got invited to sit down next to her school crush.
In all actuality, the situations were ridiculously similar.

Alucard continued to sip his wine as Suna sat across from him. It was clear now that this woman was smitten with him. She wasn't the first. Logic told him to dissuade her, though ever since the efforts of a certain someone, he had grown to appreciate the company of others. She had also convinced him that while his blood was cursed, it was hardly a thing to seal away from the world, not while he was just. To think it had been over 200 years since he had first met her...
The fairy's singing grew softer as she began to study the maid across from her master. She eyed the maid intently until Alucard spoke up.
"Are you hungry, Miss Hayashi? If so, feel free to use this." Alucard produced a white slip of paper and handed it to Suna. Printed on the card in elaborate font were the words "Meal Ticket". "Close your eyes, think of a food, and turn the card over. Decide carefully, though. It will only work once."
