Luna hears footsteps outside her room. She slowly tip toes to the door and opens it. It's Red. She follows quietly behind. He reached the main room, it was oddly quiet. Reds insignia glows, he closes his eyes. He puts his hand under his blonde bangs, pushing his hair up and back, revealing, glowing, red, eyes.
--- Chapter 52 ---
He heads outside the guildhall into the cold quiet night. Luna follows him in the shadows, confused of what's going on. Red walks into an alleyway, and Luna hides on the street at the corner. She peers around the corner and spots him conversing with a hooded figure. She tries to listen in.
Red: It's been a while.
Hood: So it has.
Red: How's the shop, and the kids?
Hood: It's fine. So, did you bring it?
Red: Indeed I did.
Luna is getting a much different vibe from Red, almost like he's a different person. Even his speech pattern is different.
Hood: Gimme gimme. Lemme see it.
She couldn't see exactly what was pulled out.

Hood: Good good, that's awesome.
Red: Now, in return-
Hood: Yah yah I knoOoow.
He leans in and begins whispering in his ear.
Red: Oh really, how interesting. Then I’ll have a chance to come out again at full force.
Hood: So what about the Tenyi kill squad?
Red: Total amateurs, and after I went to all those lengths to ensure I could be returned. Well whatever, it's all just a game anyway, no point in getting mad.
Hood: So, what's young Red going through that you're able to be here right now.
Red: That girl again. His emotions are his biggest flaw. He gets angry easily so that's a bonus for me at least
Luna: What is happening?!
Poof
A poof of smoke appears and out emerges a cat.
Gadreel: SUP LUNA HOW'S IT GOING!
She quickly scrambles and puts her hand on his mouth.
Gadreel: ?
Hood: It looks like you were followed, Dragon. Or do you prefer Wrath.
Red: Enough.
Red begins to walk towards the street.
Luna: Oh no, Oh no, Oh no.
The footsteps stop. She breathes a sigh of relief.
Red: Hi there.
Red whispers, standing there looking at her with his red eyes.
Red: How interesting. This is becoming fun. Your Luna right? Listen, you're not going to tell anyone. Got it?
Luna nods in fear.
Hood: So, who is it?
Red: It's no one.
Hood: No one?
Red: Just a drunk. You need not worry about it.
Hood: It's not like you to let them live.
Red: I'm feeling generous today. Are we done here?
Hood: I suppose we are.
Red: Then goodbye.
Hood: So long.
The clip on the collar of the hood is undone, and it falls to the floor. The person wearing nowhere to be seen. Red walks to the street and starts to pass the shaking in fear, Luna.
Red: I’ll be seeing you around. Luna.
