A Willing Leader

As the night slowly pushed it's way towards dawn, Azure Iramasha continued his current wait for his fellow Vanguard member. Steiner Franz, a lowly member that was barely known throughout the entirety of the Vanguard. It didn't mean the male wasn't important, every person within the ranks of Azure's command were the most important of things for him. He was family, whether Steiner knew such a thing or not. Nevertheless, the impatient Leader continued to tap away at the marble walkways of Magumi Square.

Looking to the distance, Azure's heart thumped once, twice and a third time. The vibrations were harnessed naturally, as if it was something that was akin to the male's kind. As the vibrations sped through the Iramasha's body, he focused on a single point quite a ways away. The vibrations that had traveled from himself to the ground had picked up movement of a being in the outskirts of Megumi square. They walked as if they were rock. Not the good, solid rock. They were sedimentary, as if it was a guise that was placed into their movements. This was sure to be Steiner, Azure wouldn't doubt otherwise.

A smile filled Steiner's Commander's face, the bright blue eyes of the Hybrid flashing as he tapped his foot even quicker. He was prepared for quite a bit of work here tonight, something he hadn't gotten to do since the actions he placed upon a fellow member of the Vanguard. Desmond Hayden, a boy that only meant good but didn't know everything he wished to do. Not that the leader had any room to talk, he had his own screw ups throughout his time as Vanguard Commander. Without another thought, Azure flung his cloak against his body once more, allowing himself to crouch against a nearby lamp post once more.

You're absolutely dreadful. How does anyone around here fucking deal with this stupidity?

It was just like Husk to make his apparent of himself obvious. The voice bore into Azure's thoughts as if it were megaphone. Screech after screech, the broken soul spoke to itself as if he meant something of value in the near future. Hopefully, Azure would simply get to have his fun with the member. He enjoyed taking members and pushing them to points that they could never imagine before. It was a goal of his, those beneath him growing powerful so one day they could take his position. Whether it was through death or killing him, he simply wished for his "Kids" to grow strong and genuine. A group of lackies that did nothing but good, for that's what the Vanguard truly stood for.

The Iramasha shook his head, shaking the feeling of the future as he watched Steiner approach. The first feature that struck Azure's mind was that of the boy's eyes. They matched his own in near perfect hue. It was a striking feature that most remembered of Azure, that and the pink hair he used to dawn in the recent past. Eyes widening in excitement, the man brought himself to a standing position once more.

Steiner was stern and forward despite the odd shake in his voice. The man grasped his blade as if to state that he was wary in general, not knowing of Azure's nature. Most didn't know Azure personally but most knew his mentality. He was a leader that pushed both himself and those he worked above to make the world a better place. Even in instances such as Iceland, there was never a moment where Azure did not think of his own. Steiner fell into such a category, something most did not understand about the Iramasha. Even after everything that had happened, he still placed his "family" before himself. Husk of all people despised it the most.

"Azure Iramasha. Vanguard Leader, er, not that you didn't know that hahahahaha."

The man chuckled to himself laughing at the stupid statement he had just made. This was typical of the leader when it came to talking to his subordinates. It was less of a formal interaction than it was an informal one. Taking a look at the boy's full figure, Azure noted that he was not simply a lackie. He seemed to be maturing in a way most Vanguard members did.

Azure Iramasha had always kept tabs on Steiner, just as he did others within the Vanguard. Promising activity only allows Azure to figure out those who would be like him, a group that only want to get stronger and stronger. The male wasn't so adamant about his strength anymore, but the strength of others was a clear goal he had in mind. Augmenting and helping those who wish to not defend just themselves but the world was an average job for the Iramasha, now that he was the leader of the Vanguard.

Realizing Steiner had spoken once more, Azure shifted his gaze to the side as he brought his hand to his head. Scratching at the top of his cranium, the man chuckled once more as he began to walk away swiftly.

"You probably haven't been told, but a few of the vanguard members you have met already have met with me personally. They have a bit of a special case in my eyes, something that I'm always placing on you now that I've seen a bit of progress from your initial recruitment."

This was the only time Azure would be caught talking as he did. With that came a cackle within his mind, Husk giggling at the interaction between the two Vanguard operatives. With steps that reached a decent length ahead of himself, Azure placed his hands once more into the cove that was his cloak. He was simply biding his time now, turning abruptly to walk backwards. While doing so, he studied the hopefully following Steiner, speaking aloud for a final time.

"I'm strong, I can't deny that anymore. That isn't very important to me, though. Just like those that you have met before, you're deemed important to me. You'll get training, whether you want it or not."

With yet another one hundred and eighty degree turn, Azure Iramasha stepped lightly forward as he reached the center of a large barren space within the Plaza. It was large enough for the training Azure intended on giving to Steiner. So, whether the man truly wanted to interact with him or not seemed to not matter anymore. Steiner was pulled into the trap just as others had been. He was a student now, one that would hopefully wish for the training.
