Most would not have noticed the subtle change in Kamui's body as Ulv broke the plane of Kamui's Seikuken, most wouldn't have even recognized that the smaller man even realized someone had shown up behind him. He didn't turn, didn't even really move, but there were slight muscle movements that were utterly impossible to hide. As danger encroached the muscles tensed, the springed defense mechanism coiled...that was true for anyone but it was remarkably subdued in the master Martial Artist and even more noticeably controlled to one who knew how to look. However, when Kamui spoke, it did not sound like the temperament of that Master Martial Artist, it sounded like an arrogant and bored kid.

"Well now that just seems rude. I'm very emotionally available. I can do a wide range from angry to happy to annoyed to hor..."

Kamui had turned around to meet her and was visibly taken aback for a moment when he saw the frame of the person he was talking to, but he recovered quickly and that look of surprise quickly turned into a wide, beaming grin. He had never seen a woman built like this one before, and he had seen many, many women. It was very intriguing. What had she done to get to that point and why? He supposed that was even more offensive a thing to ask than...

"...ny. It's a wide spectrum really. I'm here for something of my father's. He left it here in this city before his passing and I know it's somewhere in the building behind me. Do you have any rings whose markings you can't decipher but exhibit a massive amount of energy, any contraptions you can't figure out how to open, or any kind of weapon that feels like it should be more than it is?"

She didn't like emotional guardedness, that was fine, Kamui would just be direct. If he could acquire the relic without needing to make a scene or rack up a body count, that was obviously preferable. He never dreamed this would be as easy as point blank asking for his possession, but it was as solid an avenue to pursue as any before he needed to resort to violence.

The city was a magnificent thing. As soon as Kamui entered it's limits, he could feel an uplifting emotional feel in the very air. A barely perceivable amber haze covered the place, and the buildings were more obviously amber coloured. Stare into their walls long enough, and you could even see a fire crackling from within the stone. This place was definitely more than just normal buildings. And any energy sensitive being could see even further than that, as the power signature of nearly every race imaginable was evident inside the Harbour. Clearly, this was a melding pot of every refugee that could make it here. The buildings seemed to rise taller into the sky than they should, the city was more vast than the landmass it covered, and it throbbed with a life as if it was going to uproot from the island and rush into the horizon in pursuit of some deeply held dream. But even then, to the person who felt such outside feelings to be cheating, for one who wished to rely on himself, and to know everything he did in life was his own, the great power of the city would be distant. Visible, notable, but effecting one as much as the gentle lapping waves of the Harbour effected The Sun. Though it did seem....lower than most cities, as if it had it's origins in an underground city.

Ulv's house was no different, a broad thing sat upon the top of a hill with a heavy door. The symbolic question of, is your business worth the climb? Symbology lost on people who could cross continents in a day, but for the mortal humans in the city, a strong and apt question. There was a soft gust of wind a few seconds after Kamui knocked on the door, and then suddenly words from behind him.

"I have little trust for people so emotionally closed off. What do you need?" Ulv asked. Her power being inherent and constant in the city, it was hard to sense her energy signature. Like trying to find hay in a haystack.

This guy was interesting. While Ulv kept her reiatsu out to pick up anything that entered into it's range like a crude variant of the sonar Hannah had developed, this guy's tricks seemed much more subdued. Between that and his gait, his breathing and the very metaphysical aura he put off, Ulv was getting a little impatient to start a fight. What kind of inspiring breakthroughs could she make while fighting someone like this guy? Still, she had to stay wary, as only rogues and tricksters hid their heart the way he did, and there was never a good reason for such deceit.

"Ahh, from the way you stuttered there, it seems the latter is quite dominant, hmm?" Ulv leaned forward so her broad chest and assets were on much better show than they were before. Her skin looked eerily perfect, without any scars, pot marks or any degree of marring. Like she had been sculpted from flesh rather than born of a woman. And that was not far from the truth at all. "But if you are looking for treasures, come on in, I have plenty" Ulv told him, walking about the new guy to open the door and manipulate the walls to fold back and reveal her safe. Which was then opened, and she started to pull the relics out from there.

"I've got a sword called Eight Blasphemous Burials" Ulv spoke, putting the hiltless blade over on a nearby table. It's edge where it had been snapped off from the rest of the sword began to bleed gently, but while bleeding, it spoke to Kamui's mind. Whispered in a noxious temptation that it would grant him glory, grant him perfection. Grant him all that he might desire, everything would knee to him, if he would just grasp her hilt (that she didn't have).

"Prototype Berserker Staff. Still working out the kinks on that one" Ulv put that on the table, and would project a desire to KILL! TO REND, BURN, AND MAIM! TO SLAUGHTER ONE'S FOES UNTIL THERE ARE NO MORE FOES, AND THEN FIND MORE FOES!

"A lyre. Not....completely sure where I got this one, to be honest. I've got a lot of stuff, you know?" She put that on the nearby table it bring on a thousand weeping widows in the mind, from all directions.

"Blackbeard's Sword! I took this off Ritsuko, and have been meaning to get it cleaned up. Have yet to do that though" she put the cutlass down and that relic would be ominously quiet. Just whispering on the edge of hearing, a most subtle corruption of the heart and soul.

Finishing for the moment, she looked over to Kamui and, if he was able to handle the cacophony of Ulv's collection, cock an eyebrow.
"Any of these what you are looking for?"

"Only when around beautiful women, it is a bit more evenly spread out otherwise."

The young man made no attempt what so ever to hide that his eyes were exactly where Ulv wanted them as she leaned forward to showcase her considerable assets, but she acquiesced to his request surprisingly quickly and he followed her inside. He feared a trap, that felt way too easy, but Kamui was confident enough in himself to avoid one. The reward was possibly too great.

It didn't start off well. The first thing she put on the table tried to worm its way to Kamui's mind, to play on his dark desires...and the sword wasn't ready for the sheer volume and depravity of those desires. What had started as a slow bleed quickly became a torrent, pouring from the hilt like a miniature bloody waterfall. Of the others, the Lute was the only one of interest to Kamui, but only passing interest. It wasn't his father's. He felt the tug from elsewhere. The others held power, but they were irrelevant to the man.

As she spoke to him, Kamui answered her by moving past the spread she laid out for him, the disinterest on his face a stark contrast to intense interest he had shown in Ulv's chest. He reached into the vault, disregarding another stick that told him he was better than his father simply because they didn't have the time and this was annoying enough to get to as it was, and grabbed hold.

"Nope, this one is it."

He didn't seem very bothered by the weaponry laid out for him, which was good. Strong mind would get him far, and trying to go for Burials would get his head kicked in. She was not dealing with another fucking wielder of that piece of shit. Though the blood it had drunk was bleeding out of the 'wound' Ulv had given it, it was still dangerous and powerful. The Berserker Staff raged at being ignored, Burials was most vexed, and the Lyre just cried some more. Still, he seemed to have gotten what he had come for, and reached out her most interesting relic that she had picked up.

"Your father left The Stick Of Lies? Somehow, that suits you really. You can take it as you will, it doesn't do anything except lie" Ulv told him, gathering the rest of them and putting them to one side so he could do stick stuff with his stick. "So, sentimental relic gathering aside, you got any other plans, or did you just come here for the stick and now you are off for the Fork of Truth and the Sword Of Mostly Falsehoods?" Ulv asked, grinning softly.

"Stick of Lies? Yes...that would be his clever little joke."

Kamui reached out with his chi, weaving the small strands of energy and force through the small object, through the locked mechanisms and seals blocking access. Each bit and piece surrendering to his intrusions until...

Ulv would feel it, but not see it. It rocked through the room like a sort of spiritual electromagnetic pulse. Nothing was damaged the relics on the table hadn't even moved, but to her very core it would feel to Ulv like an explosion had taken place right in front of her as the "Stick of lies" began to change its shape. The mechanisms unfolded, extending in length upwards of nine feet in length as the head jutted out into a wicked looking, almost comically large scythe as the energy that could be sensed from it compounded and compounded upon itself. It was almost difficult to move it through the room.

"Yeah...this is his. I doubt the deceptive cousins you mentioned are though. This was all I came to this city for, as much as your figure would implore me to make further plans I won't encroach on your hospitality further."

There was no way it was going to be that easy, nothing about her appearance nor demeanor told him she'd let or be intimidated enough by the scythe to let him pass and his only hope of her being too stunned to notice he was gone was the longest of shots at best, but it was worth a try to avoid bloodshed for as long as he could.

Sticking the relics back in the vault and closing up the wall, she looked back to him as he activated the stick of lies and sent a strange pulse through the place, making everything buzz with energy. It was quite an exceptional thing to do, and Ulv was curious as to what that stick really was. Not, that she was going to compromise her own honour by denying what she had already allowed, though, so she just stepped back and looked at him. He was going to leave now he had his scythe-stick, and that would have been that.

"Well, today has certainly not been boring. You sure you don't want to stick around for a bit? You seem quite the martial artist, and I was interested in what your style might be, and how it matched up against my own. You can think of it as payment for being given the Stick so readily, if you would like" Ulv offered, rummaging in the cupboard for some snacks while she waited. Tea and snacks was a stable for after-sparring relaxation, and if he decided to go any way, she'd have tea and snacks, just without him.

Kamui stopped, mere inches from the door, as Ulv's voice reached him. It was a fairly cavalier request, one that she didn't actually bother to look at him while making at the same time and typically Kamui would have just continued walking away. Something caught him though, two things actually. The first was that he had been pretty far removed from the general politics of the world and many of the major players from the last time Kamui was active in the world at large were either dead, dying, or not at all what he remembered of them. For instance, he never even heard of this woman and while the cruel reason would be that he shouldn't have to, he could not actually afford that kind of ignorance. Especially with what he had planned. The second reason was that he had never been with a woman who looked like she could bench press him before and he simply needed to know what that was like.

"You don't really want it to become boring though, do you?"

With a slight flourish, Kamui palmed the handle of the scythe and swung it around in a wide arc behind him, narrowly missing the decorations in her somewhat spartan household. As the scythe blade begun its ascent back up, it seemed to vanish, tip first, into space itself, as if the air in her house had folded in on itself and Kamui's scythe was vanishing behind a curtain. A moment later it was gone, Kamui standing across from the table, empty handed, as Ulv rummaged for her snacks.

"I don't really enjoy paying for things I already got for free and I don't quite have the battlelust to fight for the sake of it. That just sounds boring. What else can you offer? Please don't say that lute."

Grabbing the snacks and boiling the kettle with her Flame - a burst of unbridled passion erupted from the woman as she did so, a force as if mountains themselves would move aside rather than impede her in her goal - and then pouring the two cups for them. Ulv loved tea, she could drink both cups if she needed to. Kamui's Scythe Thing vanished into thin air, which was good because that thing was huge and carrying it around would really have been awkward for him.
"It's not for nothing. I already said it's for educational purposes. Have you never tested your style against another to better it? Sure, I can tell you about it or exhibit some isolated techniques, but the only way to truly grow is to know it is coming for you, and make a plan around it"

Ulv came to sit on the couch and put the snacks on the table in front of her, looking up to Kamui.
"It's only boring if you make it boring or aren't interesting in becoming better. And I don't want to force you to do it if you aren't a person who wants to get better and is just good because of osmosis"
