"--Aiko, you remember that name, don't you?"
It was a question that came from his lips without his own thoughts; matching the gaze of the man standing taller than himself.
"Oh? That brat from Akitein? I remember her well--we all do. She was feisty, that one...Probably still have some scratches on me--"
Before another repulsive utterance could come from Leo's lips, a knee to his abdomen interrupted him, sending him back as a look of fury was present on his opponent's expression.
"...Not bad. There was some vigor to that one. Let me guess; you're here to get revenge on the brat's behalf? How noble."
Hearing these taunts from Leo, Ren could feel his blood boil with greater intensity, his senses becoming overwhelmed by the potent emotion that invoked only wrath; from this point on, he didn't plan on pulling any punches.
