In the lingerie shop (you said I can pick), a girl with a long white hood and silver hair would walk up to her with a curious expression. The slim girl was a whole two feet shorter than Huntress and her quite, calm voice contrasted the large woman that much more.
"You're one of those undead hunters, right?"

[b]The Huntress first took a double-take as to why she walked into a lingerie shop in the first place, before looking at the much smaller woman. She looked very confused as to how the woman even knew she was a hunter of the undead, Huntress had only hunted on Tatakai once. She smiled down at her.[/b] “Yes. Yes I am.”
-
The girl tilted her head and grinned a little at the larger woman, her bright blue eyes glowing a little. "Strange, you hunt these people, but you're not exactly evil. You don't wish to kill them, do you?"
-
“No, I just vish to take zem avay from ze general populace. Zey don’t have to die, but none of zem ever just come vith me. Zey alvays revuse, and I have to kill zem. How do you know all zis?” [b]The Huntress looked even more confused. She was honestly ready at any moment to retaliate, this was really creeping her out.[/b]
-
"That's a secret." The girl giggled and placed a finger over her own lips with a wink. "I'm just happy you've got a heart. It seems too many people around here are full of chaos, hate, fear, and despair. You...have a good bit of that too, but at least you will let those you consider your enemy to live."
-
“I literally do not have a heart. Vysically I do not have a heart, it was torn out when I vas turned into a homunculus. But zank you? Zeriously, how do you know zis?”
-
"Didn't know that about the heart actually..." The girl shrugged. "I'm not telling you how I know though. I just do."
-
“Zo basically you’re a vucking cheater is what I’m hearing?” [b]The Huntress looked slightly irritated now.[/b]
-
"Cheater?" The girl sounded genuinely offended. "I just have the ability to see people...in a way. It's complicated."
-
“Zoooooo you’re a cheater, is vhat I’m hearing. Zat is just straight-up cheating at other people’s lives.”
-
"I..." She got flustered, crossing her arms. "How is that cheating? It's not like I use it to gain anything."
-
“Doesn’t change ze vact zat you don’t have to ask anyvone vat zey have done or anyzing. You instantly know who to avoid, so zat’s cheating.”
-
"What am I cheating? Does that make me a bad person to you?" She was obviously confused at this point, lowering the hood.
-
“Being a cheater does not make you a bad person. You are simply cheating at live. You know who is dangerous, zo you can automatically avoid zem. Cheating at live.”
-
"Oh okay, for a second I thought you disliked me or something." She weakly chuckled. "Sadly it doesn't stop bad people from shooting at me."
-
“Yes, but it allows you to ztay avay vrom zem in ze virst place. You know vat people do, so you can simply not talk or interact vith zem.”
-
"I mean, I guess. You do know that doesn't stop them from shooting from a distance though, right? I also can't exactly run at super speeds."
-
“Yeah, but zat doesn’t change zat ze ozers can’t really effect you, unlike most people.”
-
"Hmm. I won't deny it giving me a slight advantage over others when it comes to living. I just don't like the sound of being called a cheater."
-
“Being a cheater is never necessarily a bad zing, just remember zat. Zome people vould zay I’m a cheater because I can only die in one vay. Zose people are correct.”
-
"Thanks, that helps." She raised a brow at the one way to die thing. "Wait, you can only die in one specific way?"
-
“One very specivic vay, yes. Vew people know about it, zough.”
-
"That's more of a cheat than my ability. Though, I don't know what you had to go through to gain that boon in life."
-
“Oh, it was awvul. And no, I won’t go into detail, just take my vord. Or don’t, I don’t particularly care. Anyvays, vhat brings you to Dojoville?”
-
"Oh, y'know." The girl nervously laughed. "I have a friend here. I'm here for him because he's going through a rough time."
-
“Veally? Vhat kind of rough zings? Probably not going to zeek zem out, but it’d just me nice to know should I run into zem.”
