[....hah.....?

what was this... someone wanted to stop him? wanted to prevent him and his fun? no, that wouldn't go over well at all. battler turned, looking over at the girl with amusement. she seemed so set on fighting him, he hoped that she wouldn't die too easily.]

...So.... you really think you can fight me....? Tell me, are you prepared to kill me? If not, then you'll never win.

[as battler came closer to her, his steps slow, his grin grew with delight. someone had stumbled in front of his path and he quickly grabbed the man. he held him in place, his hand covering his mouth and the random prisoner squirmed in his grasp.]

So boring.... killing a man... but oh well, I'll shed all of their blood. What will you do about it... girl?

[with that, battler had reached behind him, grabbing something from his belt. he hadn't taken his eyes off of ruby for a second, but it was in that moment that he brought the weapon he had just grabbed forward, drawing the blade along the man's throat. the inmate gasped against his hand, gurgling, but he soon fell to the floor. battler had just slit his throat with a knife, and he seemed right at home with the blood covering his hands.]
