It was a job, you needed the money and you loved killing. Grimm, animals, hell, you were the guy that assassinated Ambassador Peterson for Mantle so Mistral wouldn't surrender during the Great War. Of course, you were only 13 when you did that and now, here you were almost twenty years later getting ready for another assassination operation. You walked outside the hotel you were staying in and saw the green skinned beaut named Tock.

You walked over to her and the other hires and gave her a smirk.

(Y/N): Well...aren't you a beaut. I was expecting someone more...lighthearted.

You waved near her mouth and Tock smirked and showed metal teeth and clamped down onto your finger.

(Y/N): Damn! Little-

Tock: Oh, sorry love, crocodile bit yee fingy. (Waves everyone to move) Let's roll. We've got to move fast!

Tock began to walk off with a few guys following her. You glanced down and saw her rear a bit and quickly looked back away and followed her.

(Y/N): I like this one.

With that, the group moved out. Wherever it was you guys were going, it was a hell of a walk. While Tock lead from the front, you hogged the rear and kept watch. Finally, night set upon you guys and you all crashed in the woods and made camp for the night. Tock was managing the fire while you gathered the wood and got some food ready.

While the gang all sat around and ate, you noticed your leader was out to the side, eating by herself. Now, under normal circumstances, you wouldn't really give a crap, but if there was one thing you liked doing on a mission it was making sure the group was effective. Effective enough to have victory. And if that meant going over and talking to some weird woman who attempted to bite your finger off this morning, then so be it.

You grabbed your food and walked over to her and sat down besides her.

Tock: What you want?

(Y/N): Effective group. What you want?

You chuckled slightly at the mocking tone. Tock rolled her eyes and kept eating.

(Y/N): Making jokes is part of bonding.

Tock: Piss off.

(Y/N): You want to win or you want to be a whiny bitch?!

Tock: I want you to piss off.

(Y/N): And I want you to tell me your best joke.

Tock: You.

(Y/N): Oh, wow! (Laughs) THAT's SO FUNNY!

Tock: Shut it you!

(Y/N): Try me!

Tock growls and draws her sword and swings at you. You duck down and begin to slowly move back to evade the attacks. The other members of the party got up and watched you and Tock fight. Tock kept swinging at you, trying and aiming for your chest. You kept back up and evading the hits.

Tock: Just get bloody dead!

(Y/N): See that would be painful! Pain is not my strong suit!

Tock: Then it be my lucky day!

(Y/N): Oh, you are so sweet! You and those actual broken teeth!

Tock lashed forward and attempted to bite you again only for you to dodge and get around her. Tock then attempts to back kick you but she fails. She then flips around to hit you again but you grab her wrist and stop her from attacking.

(Y/N): Getting warmer.

Tock then reels back and head butts you, forcing you off of her and sending you stumbling back. Tock lunges forward to attack you again. You grab her wrist and get Tock into a pin and force her to the ground. You locked your arms in place and kept Tock on the ground. Tock then slowly stood up and ran backwards towards a tree. You raised your legs and pushed off of the tree and flipped in front of Tock, both of you entering a fight stance until you stood down.
