Leviathan

*Struggles a bit less at the offer of food.* Hey what gives?! Lead with that next time!

*She continues to cling protectively to Siren. Giving Shadow dirty looks.*

Let's go then...

*Clings tightly to Siren.*

Fine, fine, just don't hit me anymore!

*Glaring daggers at Shadow as she stands up with Siren's help.*

I'll help HER...

*She hugs back weakly, the hint of a smile forming... Until she focuses on Shadow. She clings to Siren protectively. Angry and fearful.*

Keep that punch-happy maniac away from me...!!

Hmmm... *She stirs slightly, one of her eyes opening slowly.*

S-siren...

Ugh--!

*Drops limp and woozy to the ground. She makes one last struggling attempt to stand before falling unconscious.*

I'm hiding, it's all I can do against the queen!

*helplessly being squished.* You're... too strong....!

That's not how it works! She commands us! If I get anywhere near her, I'm a puppet! I know the queen is here but I just can't!

.... You... came back... for me...?

*Leviathan continues to struggle feebly, not because she doesn't like it, but because she isn't sure how to react.*. I'm not really used to this...!

No you... you can't be here! You can't see me like this...!

*She tries engulfing herself in Dark Matter.*

*Levi struggles to her feet, clutching her head.*

Again with the hitting....

*Her eyes slowly focusing on Siren.*

.... W-why are you here?!

Ugh!!

*Her wall drops, slumping over weakly.*

Why should I believe you?! You were hunting me like a dog before! Why would I go anywhere with you?!

*She crawls back defensively, creating a small wall of pseudopods between them.*

Siren is gone... and even if she wasn't... she wouldn't want to see me!

Eeehhhh... You're... stronger than Behemoth...!

*Struggles in vain to escape.*

Killing? That's the easy part. But why not dissect? Deconstruct and rebuild. A dead enemy is great... But an enemy that you can use to your advantage is better...

Levi's got some trauma there.

S-siren...?

*Hope is eclipsed immediately by anger and distrust.*

You're lying... How do you know that name?!

Argh!!

*Drops out of her protective bubble, tumbling to the ground.*

You again?! Don't you have anything better to do, you rat!

*She tries to scamper away.*

What?! Hey!! What are you doing?!

*Struggles helplessly.*

My "muck" at least has utility... Plus it keeps weirdos away.

Levi does like to experiment.

.... You're not a Nikke...? How interesting... Perhaps I should get some samples? Since you're so willing to touch it anyway.

Levi takes offense?

Rude.

More like deconstruct you at a cellular level and strip the data out of you.

*Levi grins wickedly, the Dark Matter slithering over her skin.*

Levi warns about Dark Matter

There may be some adverse affects if it gets into you...

Hey, watch it! That's pretty important stuff!

*The Dark Matter wriggles away to join the rest on her body.*

Those nano machines are sensitive!

*Levi floats along a gentle wave of Dark Matter. It's cloudy, rainy, and overall dull on the surface. With little to hinder her, she pauses by a ruined facility to probe for ancient data.*

*Scampering to her feet, as fire rains around her, Leviathan took quick stock of the situation.*

We'll catch up later, when you've cooled down! I got what I needed.

*Her remaining dark matter pools beneath her and she slips inside.*
