Warnings: Sesshomaru being a grump.

{Silver hair flies in the wind and soft white fur is gently ruffled against a pale cheek. Sesshomaru is quite a striking presence wherever he goes, bearing the signs of his good breeding in the form of two crimson stripes on his cheeks and a purple crescent moon on his forehead. His ears taper into delicate points, too, and his eyes are the color of rich amber. When he speaks, he is accustomed to being listened to and obeyed.

Thus his first appearance on the network is dramatic, yet brief.}

Speak.

{His low voice brooks no argument and his expression is cold. He is difficult to read in the best of circumstances and his current predicament doesn't necessarily signify anything good.}

I am Sesshomaru, Lord of the Western Lands. What have you discovered about this world and the rifts?

{His fang can only be suppressed so much; since his power has surpassed his father's, Sesshomaru is a special case. Bakusaiga, Tenseiga and Tessaiga (which resides with Inuyasha) are intricately connected to the dog demons; no other person or demon can wield them properly.

Once Bakusaiga is back in its sheathe, he glances at his spectator.}

There is no shame in relying on others. {Strength is not given to all; those that have it should not hoard it greedily.}

I am the son of two great demons. I have fought many battles and become stronger for it. Bakusaiga is my fang, born from me and a representation of what I can do in this world.

[averagedad]

[Well now that was not something Twilight was expecting to hear from the stranger being the son of not one but two demons!? This man's world must have been vastly different from his own, filled with magics and devilry that could only be conceivable in tall tales or television shows.

A cock of his brow quizzically is ushered forth at Sesshomaru's explanation about the blade in his possession named 'Bakusaiga' blinking wide eyed in bewilderment. An extension of his own person it would seem which was capable of otherworldly powers. This alone was enough to deter him from making an enemy of the other but what if he could make an ally with one so powerful? He knew the merits of aligning himself with skillful individuals, a necessity in his professional line of work.]

So this Bakusaiga was created by your very essence? That is quite an impressive feat.

[Remaining calm and steadfast in the face of adversity, he inquires further about his newfound counterpart's abilities as to ascertain more incite into Sesshomaru's power.]

[prince_of_the_moon]

{Sesshomaru's disgust for humans has lessened considerably thanks to Rin and Kohaku. The man before him needn't worry about being helped or shielded should they encounter danger together. He will do so without a word because it has become...natural...to him.}

He was created from my fang. {And with the fang's birth, his missing arm had returned too.} It is common for demons of my caliber. Father created his own fang called Tessaiga.

[averagedad]

[The more Sesshomaru reveals the more Twilight finds himself curious to the differences in their own worlds, such magics unheard of back home. To think something of such magnitude was capable of being created by the demon's person, an extension of themselves made into the weapon of power.

A hand cups his chin quizzically nodding in understanding as he continues to develop more knowledge unto his newfound companion.]

So this 'fang' is another meaning for your swords which harness your powers? Very intriguing.

[prince_of_the_moon]

They are fangs; not swords. {Well. They are kind of both.} A part of our body is used to forge them. Usually we sacrifice a tooth.

[averagedad]

To think such power could be harnessed by sacrificing a mere tooth!

[It begs the question where the limits of Sesshomaru's strength truly lied if he was restraining himself given the others surroundings and nonexistent threat to his safety. Perhaps one day he might find out first hand but for now the veteran spy would mentally make a note as to make sure to stay on the demon's good side.]

Are these 'fangs' the source of your abilities or do you possess natural skills given your demonic lineage as well, Sesshomaru?

[It would prove useful to know on the off chance if the other did wish to turn his sword against him if Sesshomaru would be rendered powerless if stripped of the weaponry.]

[prince_of_the_moon]

Power is contained in every inch of my body. {It's a demon thing. That's why, sometimes, great demons are picked apart and not allowed to die. Not fully, anyway.}

I inherited it from my father and mother, but I have also cultivated my own abilities. Every demon has different limitations.

{He has yet to find his.}

[averagedad]

[To think this man possessed such raw, unbridled abilities through his entire person was nothing short of amazement and concern. Twilight would certainly make sure to try and keep the peace between each other by whatever means necessary.]

I should hope to keep in your good graces and not cross your bad side then, Sesshomaru!

[Chuckling awkwardly with a rub of his hand at the nape of his neck, smilingly sheepishly as he puts on the false facade as the happy go lucky family man.]

[prince_of_the_moon]

Try not to be a fool. {i.e. don't cross him or try to stop him. Sesshomaru has no patience for opponents (unless said worry is coming from a genuine place).} I am not easily angered.

{Jaken begs to differ.}

[averagedad]

Aw- Well I like to think I have a good head on my shoulders and would not cross someone with such incompressible abilities the likes of which I could never have thought possible until coming to this place.

[Masking his true motives behind that false smile once again, Twilight looks to make himself out to be nothing more than a peaceful bystander who does not want trouble. Which is half true at the very least, wishing no ill intent towards those who do not cross him in turn.]

I'm glad to hear it. Perhaps our paths might align for the common good in the near future, Sesshomaru.

[prince_of_the_moon]

Perhaps. {There are many, many ways to be foolish, Twilight.} Should you focus on freedom, on return, contact me in the future.

{Otherwise he isn't interested. For now. Other matters of this world will eventually capture his attention.}

[averagedad]

[A simplistic nod of his head is given at the proclamation of Sesshomaru's intentions, for he too wished to return back to the world in which he came. Operation Strix was of unparalleled importance and must carry out the mission to achieve world peace and bring an end to the needless suffering throughout the globe.]

It would seem our paths are aligned, I too wish to find a way back to my homeland with my darling wife in tow. After all, our beloved daughter is waiting for us and must be worried sick.

[A feigned look of sadness crossing his features along with an exasperated sigh. Although it was mostly a front for his real intentions to return back to Ostania to carry out his mission, Twilight was in truth a bit concerned over leaving the young girl by her lonesome. At the very least the Authen's next door would likely take her in for the time being given their fondness for the girl.]

[prince_of_the_moon]

Your wife? {Has he encountered her? He feels he has and yet he might be presuming too much.} You will return to her.

{Because he will return to his pup, too. There is no other option and anyone else who says otherwise will see his fury in full.}

[averagedad]

Yes; Her name is Yor Forger, a kindhearted woman who is very sociable by nature. It would not surprise me if your paths have crossed already, Sesshomaru.

[Get yourself a fake husband who boasts about you the way Twilight does, not just for their necessary partnership to flourish in the sake of his mission. However; With that being said more recently the man had found himself opening up genuinely to the other, breaching the once lock tight barriers he put up around his emotions. The latter sentiment causes him to nod subtly, sighing as a hand runs through his blonde locks.]

You are right; It is only a matter of time before we return to our appropriate worlds to those we hold dear to us.

[prince_of_the_moon]

We have met. {And she has worried him, though he will never admit to it. She relies too heavily on her husband - this man - so it looks like Sesshomaru will need to keep an eye on both of them.}

Are you apart of the same crew?

[averagedad]

[A firm shake of his head is given at the latter questioning.]

We are not part of any crew at this moment but the thought had crossed my mind to pursue my own when the time is right. Perhaps you would like to join us if you have not found one yourself, Sesshomaru?

[A hand moving to the back of his neck feigning a bit of awkwardness as he laughs nervously.]

I'm sure my wife's mind would be more at ease knowing someone as powerful as you were aboard our ship!

[The covert agents true motives far more remunerative in truth but was not outright a bold face lie either.]
