"Name your price, huh... that's pretty bold to say," spoke Crow under his breath as he tugged out another piece of steel from his shoulder and tossed it away. He took a second to glance behind them and sniffed, "... Hm, since when did Hoshidans hire wyverns?"
A swift shadow suddenly overtook them with an axe glinting in the dim light, and without a word, swung the weapon directly toward Crow. Level 2 Wyvern Rider, Bronze Ax (E), 6 @ 80% HP 16 | STR 7 | MAG 0 | SKL 4 | SPD 5 | DEF 9| RES 0VKoSppHw1-100 (ACC 75; DMG 9/2=4)

The rider moved himself shy of being beheaded, yet the axe cut into his arm.
"Ouch!" he grit his teeth as he turned Heckle off to the side, "Guess this is what I get after all!"
Crow entered offensive support with Mitsuko ! (Both gain +10 HIT and +2 STR)
"Have at ya'!" the mercenary exclaimed as he pulled out his Wind Tome.

Mitsuko wasted no time maneuvering behind the Wyvern Rider after Crow initial clash. At these short ranges all she could do was turn into a tight circle, making Kurogane climb a few feet so she could get a good attack angle with the speed and altitude advantage on her side.

Direct hits. Wyvern Rider HP 1/16,
Her lance strikes where swift and not for one second she stopped after landing those two consecutive hits. With all the energy Kurogane had gained after that attack run it wasn't like she could simply stop in mid air anyways.
The wyvern rider's body shook as the attacks came down hard, and even the wyvern itself appeared to show fatigue. The thought of escaping crossed the rider's mind, but a voice from behind spoke up.
"It's a bad idea to look away, you know?"

Suddenly, a thrash of wind knocked the wyvern rider off of the mount with such force that the helmet flew off. However, the sight of long, red hair and a feminine face threw Crow for a loop, and immediately he began to feel regret build in his stomach.
"Crud...!" he growled as he directed Heckle to nosedive to the other rider, "Darn people wearing darn masks...!"
With his arm outstretched, Crow pulled the wyvern rider into his grasp and onto Heckle's rump, then began his unsteady ascent once again to Mitsuko's side.
The wyvern, on the other hand, continued to fall into the forest below.
"Darn this stupid, stupid job..." he muttered under his breath. When he finally managed to reach his partner, he pulled a cloth from the side of his pocket and began wiping his wound. Mitsuko1-100
It was imposible for Mitsuko to notice the signs of remorse Crow was showing at a time like this. In fact she had only seen the Wyvern go down after Kurogane was several yards away due to the momentum they'd built after that last pass.
" Guess that's a quarter of a kill for me." During her training she'd been conditioned to keep count on each and every single ' Victory'. Those who had earned five kills where hailed as 'experts' but in order for it to count it had to be confirmed by observers in the air and the ground below.
" Do you think there's more of them?" Mitsuko didn't have the time to ponder about the morality of murdering people for a living, not when they could be potentially ambushed by more Wyverns or other flying creatures. Her head on a swivel, checking every direction constantly in an effort to not get blind sided by whoever tailing them.
" You need to get that checked! I carry some medicine around with me I wouldn't mind sharing with you." An injury like that could prove to be detrimental in the long run.

Quarter kill? Maybe if she counted the wyvern that might be true. The wyvern rider was fairly easy to skunk out, but if it was the Hoshidan government they were talking about, wouldn't they have sent their own sky knights after them?
No, no, this kind of thing was complicated. There was a lot of delicacy required for an assassination of an important traitor of the military, particularly since they would need to consider the mental safety of the common populace.
At her inquiry, Crow took a gander over his shoulder and took a lengthy moment to ensure that there were no longer any pursuers. "I'll be fine," he said with a nod, "I always keep my own supplies in handy. Besides, safety distance between the wings should be ten feet." He pointed at Heckle's wings, "Don't want us to get tangled up if they need to swing. At least, that's what they taught me back in military school." He pulled his satchel aside and pulled out a herb to crush in his hand, "On another topic, hiring fliers is hella expensive. Wyvern riders are pretty much top coin. I think I was the, ah, cheaper alternative." He applied the crushed herb on his wound and sucked in air, "... Ouch."
" These people don't mind spending too much not when there's plausible deniability. What? you think only Nohrians can employ underhanded moves such as those? There's no shortage of belligerent idiots willing to spill blood for money just like ourselves." For Mitsuko both sides of the conflict where equally morally bankrupt. This was a war after all and whatever quickly came out of it was nothing but senseless violence.
" That's the world we're living in, i'm afraid." Mitsuko never pretended she was any different. In fact she had already accepted the pettiness behind her own motives for doing this. Crow might have looked like any other mercenary not afraid to get his feet wet but only at a first glance. That rough exterior aside he really was nothing like the rest of the cut throats on this line of work.
" We live by the sword so its only natural we meet our end the same way. Anyway! I will provide top cover you just lead the way." Kurogane began gaining a little altitude, maintaining their formation a little more flexible and preventing them to get too close together. BY doing so she could more easily intercept anyone attempting to dive in on them plus extending their field of view.

"Sheesh... talk about fatalist," Crow sighed almost grumpily, "I never asked to be a merc, you know. In fact, I never asked to become a flier." After having wiped his wound with the herbs, he wiped a water-dampened cloth to clean the area, then wrapped the bandage tightly around his arm.
Soon enough, the ocean was beneath them, and a crescent moon lit the dim sky.
"Eh... but I guess that's how life is," he shrugged as he took in the sight, "One thing leads to another for reasons beyond my comprehension." He glanced behind him to look at the face of the unconscious wyvern rider, then looked up toward Mitsuko, "... Hey, uh, I don't think we formally introduced ourselves. I'm Crow. Crow Arkwright."
" You can call me Rose." Nothing guaranteed her that the name Crow gave out was his real identity so she replied back using an alias on her own. Being distrustful was part of her nature even if she owed her life to this man.
" I don't exactly enjoy fighting either but its the only thing i'm more or less good at. I do love flying, though." Not everything about Mitsuko struck a somber note. After all, this wasn't exactly the time to engage in careless chatter.
" You can always quit and try to do something else with your life if you don't think you can last on this line of work. No need to punish yourself doing something you hate! hell if you detest flying so much why don't you sell me your mount? i'll take good care of her." Earlier at the stable she'd seen that their two black Pegasus where awfully fond of each other. Perhaps she could breed them and raise a black market Sky knight core of her own within a few years. That would certainly make West give her some kind of promotion.
