Are you sure? I mean, you're kind of tiny. We're talking about a monster that could very possibly be humongous. And eat you in one bite.

[happyends]

[ .. it does sound scary, but it's at times like this that a magical girl can't give up, right? ]

But.. then he could probably eat you too, right? And I don't want you to be in danger..

[markofthewise]

HA! Eat me! [Sokka chuckles loudly at the very thought.] I'm Thunderaxe. I was raised by wolves! I'm Lord of the Hunt! Do you think some beast scares me?

[happyends]

Huh, raised by wolves? [ her look turns to surprise instead, but at least she seems to believe him. ] .. So.. it really can't hurt you? You're that strong?

[markofthewise]

Yeah, probably. I mean, look at me. I'm fierce.

[Armor and weapons and such.]

[happyends]

You do look strong.. [ she won't deny that much - she hasn't seen many people dressed like that around here, after all. ]

But.. I'd still like to help you, if I can. It's my duty..

[markofthewise]

Okay, okay. Just don't get in my way, alright? [He shakes his head.] Now make with the magic. Help me find this beast.

[happyends]

.. I don't have magic to find something, actually.. [ or.. she.. thinks? she isn't sure what kind of magic she does have, honestly. ]

But.. let's just go and look! [ she turns to him, nodding before walking in a direction, peering over her shoulder to see if he's coming too. ] It can't be too difficult, right?

[markofthewise]

[But he was going in the other direction... well, okay. He follows, dubiously.]

So what magic powers do you have?

[happyends]

[ .. D'OH. Sokka, this is the one question you're never supposed to ask! Okay, Madoka, time.. to bluff.. ]

Oh.. regular magical girl powers, I guess?

[ THAT WASN'T EVEN REMOTELY CONFIDENT OF A BLUFF.. good job, Madoka. ]

[markofthewise]

Oh. Okay. [A beat.] So what's normal magical girl powers then?

[happyends]

[ .. c-.. come up with something, madoka, you can do this.. ]

M.. M-.. Monster defeating magic!

[markofthewise]

Oh, that's convenient. So you just sort of... magic at them and they die?

[happyends]

Yes, that's how it works! [ if they run into the actual monster, she will think of how to suddenly do it.. right..? .. right...?! ]

So you can rely on me, I'll.. I'll try my very best!

[markofthewise]

Good. Because if that monster turns out to be more than I can handle, my life will be in your hands.

[So no pressure or anything.]

[happyends]

[ oh, yes, cool. totally no pressure. she can do this. this laughter totally isn't awkward. ]

H.. ehe, let's not hope for that, just in case..

[markofthewise]

By the way, I never got your name.

[Since she may save his life, he ought to know who to blame.]

[happyends]

It's Madoka. Madoka Kaname.. Should I say 'it's nice to meet you' all the same now, even though it's late? [ she wants to be polite, but then again, maybe it's impolite exactly because it's so late!! being insecure is suffering.. ]

[markofthewise]

I'm Thunderaxe, Lord of the Hunt. It's nice to meed you too, Madoka. [Casually on his part. He doesn't seem to notice her own insecurity.]

[happyends]

.. Oh, can I maybe ask something? [ trying to change the subject a little from having to inevitably deal with the monster.. ]

Are there a lot of people with that title around? I don't think I've heard of it before..

[ but then again, amnesia and all. ]

[markofthewise]

Nah, I'm probably the only one. I mean, if there were other ones, I wouldn't be the Lord of the Hunt. I'd just be a Lord of the Hunt, right?

[Okay so he's just making this stuff up.]
