[By now, he has a sword. A longsword with the barest curvature from the middle to the tip, the hand guard and hilt elegant and made of twisting, Eldritch ivy with a gem inlaid in the center. It fits him. But it won't be his for long if he doesn't smithy it with a soul.
He's not sure if the horseman has one, and the soul is only partial why he's here anyway. He wonders if it's a shade of some kind--and perhaps they all are, in a way--but its removing heads, so he can't be sure. What he does understand is this is not one of Stygia's playful games.
Standing sentinel for a moment, his eyes shift to regard Sasuke from beneath his hat. This is just a boy is what he wants to think, but he knows better. Like Sakura, he can feel a certain kind of similar collection of strength in the boy's aura. He offers no greeting, even though he is sure this is the boy who spoke to him tersely through the application.]
Go then, [he says in a quiet voice not befitting his image.] Time is not on their side.
[Rarely does D ever run, but he takes off into a sprint now, much too fast to be something human, fast enough Sasuke has to use better eyes to see him. His hand pulls the sword from his back. The horseman goes for another head, and D twists his sword out to parry the decapitating weapon away while he descends in a black mass of cape to cart away the intended victim.
But the horseman doesn't seem to be paying them much mind--it takes off again in another direction.]
yes!!
