Another Encounter With Felt

Rem looks at the place and she takes a picture of it before going in.

"This is a strange house for a strange kid, but I digress."

Rem approaches it and looks around it and the inside.

Something smells in here and she doesn't like it… Rem pulls herself out of there and she just waits for-

"Hey!"

Rem surprised, turns around to see Felt, and she doesn't look happy with Rem hanging around her place.

"What do you think you're doing peeking at someone's house?? There's nothing valuable for you to take."

Felt then pulls out her blade and points it at her.

"Beat it!"

Rem seeing this makes her a little bit stressed.

"W-wait hold on! I'm not here to steal anything-!"

"Shut up! Don't argue!"

Felt then runs to Rem and swings her blade at her but Rem dodged, almost barely dodgeable.

Rem: "W-wait hold on! Please listen!"

Rem keeps dodging Felt's attacks until one simple wound makes Rem summon her light horn which makes her dodge Felt's swings easier.

Rem holds the wound so she won't have any problem with it later.Z

"Wait hold on!"

Rem trips and a knife meets between her eyes.

Rem sees Felt pointing it at her.

"Before it goes dark, you better be gone."

Rem shakes her head a bit.

"I-I wasn't planning on stealing anything! Please listen!"

Felt, more annoyed, is about to swing her knife again, which Rem swiftly dodged and they keep going at it until Rem finds a table and she easily picks it up, which kind of surprised her, but she used it to block Felt's attacks.

Felt: "You don't give up do you? I told you to get out of here!"

She gets blocked once again and Rem pushed back which makes Felt almost trip.

Rem: "D-darn it, Felt! Why are children so hard to talk to?!"

Felt was about to attack again, but she stopped when she heard her name.

Rem noticed this and she kept going.

"Don't attack! I'm here to do some… business! It's an important one!"

Felt still keeps her guard on.

"How do you know my name? You want me to steal something for you? If that's so-

Felt sheaths her knife.

"You should have said so"

Rem lost in speech when she heard that but she shakes her head.

"You're the one who attacked me first, and gave me a problem with my arm… It really hurts you know, and I don't have any bandages with me, Is violence really one way to deal with what you're dealing everyday"

Felt: "It's all a matter of how to stay alive, If it weren't this, I'd have no choice to sell my body."

Rem: "Now you're giving me ideas I shouldn't really be thinking about…"

Felt: "That doesn't change anything here, so what's your business with me? Make it quick."

Rem puts down the table but she still hides behind it as she pulls out her phone and shows it to her.

"There's one thing I have business with you. Here and now, I want to buy the Insignia that you stole."

Felt raises a brow.

"You aren't associated with my client."

She squints her eyes.

"Are you a business rival?"

Rem: "Call her a rival or call her the one who's responsible for killing my friends, or call her the one who killed me! It doesn't matter"

Felt: "You don't make sense. Anyways, I'm only interested in selling to whoever pays the most. If you have a good price that's profitable then sure, I'll listen."

Rem: "You're very shrewd…"

Rem clears her throat as she looks at her, not hiding from the table anymore.

"I have something worth more than 25 holy coins. I want to offer it for the Insignia"

Rem shows her phone.

"This is a metia, it's what everyone wants these days.

Rem takes a picture of her

She shows the picture to Felt.

"This is what this metia can do. It's a one kind thing that can freeze time and capture a moment."

She gulps.

"So how about it, Felt?"

.

.

.

"Hm, you don't seem to be lying. But is that supposed to be me? I should be prettier."

Rem mentally sighs

"You already look good yourself, even with or without makeup on."

Felt: "Well it is unusual I'll give you that"

Rem looks at her.

"But 25 holy coins? That's unlikely. I'm not so stupid as to believe, without question everything a prospective buyer says."

Rem: "Right of course not…"

Felt nods as she looks at her.

"At the far edge of the slums is a loot house. The fair thing is to have the codger who lives there, so then Old Man Rom can appraise it."

Rem sighs.

"We're going in that still direction huh…"

.

.

.

Rem walks to her.

"Well let's go"

She grabs her shoulders as she pushes her a bit to walk.

"Let's go right now, as I mean, right now, let's move!"

Felt doesn't know what she's doing but she's getting pushed to walk now.

Rem: "We'll have that old geezer check it, and then we're going to be done."

Felt: "Hey wait why are you pushing me like this? Are you planning something?? Hey!"
