Rose groaned in pain, feeling Mitria claw's cut across her face again, in the exact spots on her cheek. Gritting her teeth, she tightened her grip on her daggers.
"Such a waste of talent, girlie," Mitria taunted. "You really should have been a thief like me... though I don't think you're Yellow Scarf material."
"And you're not Hunters' Guild material," Rose countered. "Fair exchange."
The sound of an engine started to approach. Rose raised an eyebrow, then started laughing.
"You sound rather jovial for someone staring death incarnate down, girlie." The engine grew louder.
"Sounds like you know what you're talking about."
By now, the sound of the engine had travelled down to the street Rose and Mitria were fighting on, and Rose could see the Yellow Scarves' landrover bearing down upon them, Aijo at the helm. He shouted something Rose couldn't hear over the noise- from what it looked like, Aijo was shouting at her to get the hell out of the way.
She complied, giving the silver-haired Numan a shove as she backflipped off her, landing-
-just in time for Mitria to disappear under the tread of the four-ton vehicle, bones cracking audibly as the landrover passed by, braking to a halt. Rose leapt into the open back of the landrover and slammed the hatch shut, sealing it behind her.
"Was that good or what, Rose!?" Aijo called to her, laughing. "I think that got her!"
