The thick, silver french-braid moved slightly in the wind, less so because of its weight than the waves of the black fabric the boy wore. His gaze was sweeping the dark landscape ahead of him with the eyes of a keen hunter, but then he closed them and inhaled deeply through his nose, as if catching a long scent. As he did so, glowing blue lines raced across his face.
Even though Rensik could never use magic, he could always smell it, even traces of an already exhausted spell, like the ionized stench of the air after electricity passes through. But when in the presence of a spell, the scent was far stronger, like someone had stuck a chunk of bloody iron in his mouth, instead, and that was the scent he recognized now.
His hand closed about the hilt of his katana. "You sound like an elephant tramping through the underbrush," he said of the invisible woman without turning toward her, "but even if your feet didn't give you away, your magic would still betray you to me."

Realizing she was discovered , Heather shifted her image to that of Rensik, and her voice to mimic his perfectly. "So i have been discovered have I?" She responded in her imitation of Rensik.
Heather was no stranger to to the way of the sword. The image she was casting appeared to not have drawn its sword from the sheath, but in actuality, her sword had been drawn for a while. Her avatar proceeded to walk to up behind Rensik. While she on the other hand, remained still, waiting for his response.

"Nice try," the young man answered, "but I don't talk like that. Not everything that looks like it's from the eighth century is. And besides, I can tell it's an illusion because you're mimicking my walk, but I already know you can't walk that quietly. Well, you're not mimicking it entirely," he corrected as he glanced back. "You're going heavy on the left foot."

"Hehehe" The illusion said in an entirely different voice, that sounded like that of an old man, and the avatar took the form of a mysterious wizard, followed by an armored samurai with 2 katana's. Heather and the Samurai illusion charged at Rensik, she leaped in the air with her blade ready to strike rensik, while the illusion simply ran forward and began to "attack" rensik.

The "ninja" simply turned to the side, not drawing his own blade as Heather hit nothing but the ground, ignoring the samurai entirely. "Your feet are making different sounds," he explained idly, as if it were normal conversation. "You were further away, and the sound of blade cutting through air didn't match with your illusion. When you jumped, your sounds stopped, so I knew exactly where you were."

as heather landed on her knee's, she decided not to speakbut to change her illusion once more, this time to her true appearance [see profile], save for the fact the illusion wielded 2 katana's, and in sync with the the illusion, began charging him once more, striking at him in a horizontal fashion ( the illusion appears to be readying one of them for defensive motion while striking with the other)

But the problem with both being in sync was that now, the boy didn't have to worry about which one to dodge. He simply turned about, his spin bringing him behind her, though he didn't strike and his sword was still sheathed. "You're so noisy," he complained. "I could fight you with my eyes closed. But that doesn't tell me why you're trying to fight me in the first place."

She stopped in her tracks. "i thought you were the one trying to fight, when you closed your hand around your blade" she said. "I merely thought if i was gonna have to fight it'd be best if i made the first strike."

Rensik scowled. "No offense, lady, but if I were intending to fight you, you wouldn't be able to misinterpret it as anything else. I rested my hand on my hilt because I knew you were armed. If I intended to strike, I would have already done so."

"In that case," heather sheathed her blade and stood their looking him in the eye, her illusion was matched to her so that it would seem she were actually visable. "My name is heather, you are?"

"The name's Rensik," he answered. "Do you make a habit of attacking people without provocation?"

He nodded. "Apology accepted. Just try to be a little more patient next time. If I had been on edge, I might have responded more violently. So what brings you out here?"

"I'm a wanderer of sorts. I wander the land, in search of a home."

The man nodded. "We have something in common, then. What keeps you from finding your way home?"
