Skills

Strax took a step back, moving slightly away from Scarlet. 

"Can you give me a moment? Something's happened to the system." His voice was firm, but carried a hint of uncertainty. They all already knew about the system, as well as its importance for their survival and growth. 

Scarlet watched him for a moment, her scarlet eyes shining with a mixture of curiosity and understanding. "You seem to have received something..." She murmured, a smile playing on her lips before she leaned in and placed a soft kiss on his cheek. 

"We'll be waiting when you're done, okay?" 

Strax nodded with a small smile. "I'll be back soon." 

"Great." Scarlet winked at him before her body crumbled into a cloud of black bats that disappeared into the twilight. 

Strax raised an eyebrow. "That's a new one..." He muttered to himself, analyzing Scarlet's new ability.
