Nah, you're not gonna do that. He's one of your gladiators, isn't he? You wouldn't come all the way out here just to kill him. That's just stupid. You're bluffing. 'S just not in your interests to do that, 'cause if you do, you don't have anything to keep me from going after you.
-Gestures with the gun as she says that-
So let's be reasonable here, yeah? I think that works out for both of us.
-Just stares-
-Isn't going to make any moves when things haven't gotten bad yet-
-That's just messy-
Well, okay.
But just so we're clear, if I start trying to stab someone, and you start noticing a lot of coincidences stopping that guy from losing.
Then we need to high-tail out of there.
His power's how he knew my secret to begin with. He's a leak that I can't let live.

Homura: (is surprised at Eve's quickness, quick glance at Julie to see her reaction)
Kyubey: (was about to jump away but is grabbed by the torso; makes no change in expression) <You must have a lot of anger inside to react like this...I wonder what your Soul Gem's doing.>
The damned queen and the relentless knight.Wow, that explanation explains very little.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?He can see and manipulate the future.
Remove possibilities.
An oracle.
Those coincidences I mentioned would be where he tampered with fate to give himself the win, no matter how small the probability of success or escape is.
-he gets up to the mouth of the cave to find... the site of the bonfire, and not much else- Well- he usually stayed just inside.
And- apart from one spot over there where I see a blood stain, it's too small to have been a work of his nature.

...You make a good point. You've called my bluff.-The orb glows brighter, and Freed quickly jumps over and positions himself between the bald guy and Tallis-
Then I'll just keep him between us.

mario is red, i am green, i try my best, but everyone's meanThis'd be only one stab wound. -crouches by it- Also dry.
I can estimate it was from the gut, but a flesh wound. He was probably interrupted, or strapped for time.
Didn't want to go for his MO.
That's the remnant of a bonfire there- but there's only wood ash in there. So clearly whoever he was trying to cremate got away too.
... It'd seem that- he might've been defeated by the target and Audrey, then. Likely incarcerated somewhere. -frowns-
-stands back up-
-apart from where the cave goes deeper, which apart from a grouping of footprints fresher than anything around the "crime scene" doesn't seem to carry any blood further down-
-there's just the burnt remains of the bonfire-

Homura: (More firm) I am telling you to calm down before you cause people to die.
(Julie, is that liable to make things calm?)
