Bending down looking at the band, not touching it though. Afraid she would get scared he backed away a little more.
Looking up at Mercy, who know had wings and a tail, which he didn't notice before,
"can you ask her if i can locate him using the band and if she's from the earth of from another place."
He said to her standing up, he suddenly had a burst of determination and some anger.
Mercy raised a brow at Young-Jae, ”And what do you plan to do if you can?”
A part of her was hoping what ever his plan was it involved protecting Rune from that scum. She didn't want to fight against Young-Jae. Finneas on the other hand…
She placed a comforting hand on the other girl’s shoulder, “Rune, can Finneas find you with this?”
"Well I'm gonna rip his guts out and shove em down down his throat, what the hell do you think i would do?"
He says a lot harsher than he meant to.
"Owning someones disgusting."
He scoffs
Rune glanced off to the side to think for a moment, then answer, “Finneas finds with this.” She pointed to the metal band in affirmation, “Yes.”
She nodded at Rune before standing to look at Young-Jae, ”I’m glad you and I have something to agree upon.” She briefly flashed him a predatory fang-filled smile. ”I think whatever this man is he may be able to use magic. That is an ability I do not have. Do you have any magical abilities?”
“Finneas does alchemy. Not magic.” Rune murmured to nothing, just recalling the phrase he muttered whenever she watched him practice his trade.
Bouncing the orb in the air forming a portal,
"Yes… This leads to space. This is how I keep the government away. I can also create wormholes easily. Black holes, but I'm not stupid. I can create a portal to him if I know his location. I can also create things,
He says as the orb comes back to his hand, morphing into a spear. Then back to an orb, he bounces it up in his hand then disappearing.
"Can you do anything?"
She was actually a little star struck by his display. “Very impressive! I'm actually a shapeshifter. I can take a large variety of full or partial forms.” She took a moment to shift to an Eagle, a blue Wolf and a human covered in red scales. ”But I'm also skilled with a pair of short swords. And as far as I'm concerned Alchemy is a form of magic.”
"It's not, it's hard to explain right now, but it's technically not magic. Magics a lot easier to handle than alchemy."
He says to her rubbing his temples. Sadly he could teleport a migraine away.
"Okay, can you turn into like… A dragon or something? Because we could use something like that. I do have my wolf but she can't use magic, she's just really big and strong…."
He says looking out of his window, snapping his fingers (frikin Thanos up in here)
"Niade, come"
He says in a soft voice, a wolf appears right outside the door. It was huge, its head reached just above his own. Only being 5'10 though, it wasn't a lot for a normal huge wolf. Her fur was just like fresh snow, the tips of her snout, legs, ears and her tail, faded into a pitch black. A red crescent moon on her forehead, then black symbols running down her back forming a line.
"Ah sorry… I didn't know you were inside"
A soft feminine voice echoed through the room. It sounds sweet yet tough.
"Whatever"
He said casually opening the door. Turning around to the two girls @)as Niade walked in.
"This is Naide, she's gonna help us."
Mercy rubbed the back of her neck shyly, “Technically I am able to take that form but if you were hoping for firepower, I’m afraid you’d be disappointed. I would only gain the ability to fly and the proportionate strength to whatever size I chose.”
Her jaw dropped when she saw the wolf.
”She’s beautiful.” Was the only thing her mind could think to say.
Morphing into a human, Niade stood there, unclothed of course.
"Come on… Really?"
He says facepalming, then throwing his cost at her face.
She was tall, taller than Young-Jae, at 6'3, her white silky hair going down to her thighs, fading into pitch-black at the bottom half. Red marking on her forehead, she was very pale, her one blue eye, and one green eye glaring, mimicking Young-Jae's voice wassily holding the jacket.
"come on really?"
She says in a soft voice, mimicking him. Her voice once again seemed to echo through the room. Her eyes stray to Mercy and Rune.
"Why thank you, you're quite pretty yourself"
She said to her with a smile. The coat covering her front. Her hair going down her back, she walked to Young-Jae's room.
"I'm stealing your clothes"
She says throwing the coat at his face and shutting the door behind her.
"Sorry…about that"
He says rolling all three of his eyes.
Rune chortled at the shift-shaping wolf and Young-Jae’s interaction; they had entertaining tones and voices. She stood up from her “perch,” as her knees were beginning to hurt— just another bothersome thing humans couldn’t do.
Mercy was glad she had chosen red scales as it was hard to tell if she was blushing, though her eyes did flash pink at Niade’s comment. Of course, it was child's play to the shapeshifter to assume a ”beautiful” form but something in the way the wolf said it didn't seem to imply the usual meaning of her form.
”No need to apologize, Young-Jae. I have a number of colleagues that prefer to remain undressed.” She gave a brief chuckle. ”How do you plan to track Finneas using Rune’s bracelet?”
"well…. if the bird will talk, and tell me at least, somewhere near the location, I can easily track him down, but something tells me it won't be easy."
He says crossed his arms. As a loud slam came from his bedroom. Walking dramatically out of the room, in a cute romper.

"now why exactly do you have this in your room?"
She says crossing her arms also, pushing her hip slightly to the side.
"I was looking at it! Its a weird article of clothing that needed examining…"
He says in an annoyed tone He recently found out that those were not made for men…..
"okay well…. let's go get some food. There's a Walmart downtown we could go to"
He says glancing Niade over then looking back at Rune and Mercy.
(Dude! Lmao!!! Rompers aren't really a style I would wear but that is so cute!)
She nodded, “I agree but I would think she’s more used to seeing the surrounding areas from the air.”
Mercy raised a brow at Young-Jae upon seeing Niade’s very cute outfit. He had said he worked in the fashion industry and already had quite a collection of women’s clothing but… She would ask later.
Seeing the attention was back on her and Rune, she asked, ”Should we stay here while you two go out?”
"Well…. I'm other than Niade i don't really know how to handle girls, so i would prefer if you came along, but you can stay…. And… I don't really know what she would want"
He said a little embarrassed that he didn't know how to handle a girl.
She didn't laugh but her eyes turned a playful purple at his confession.
”Then I’ll help make it easier for you. For now, with Rune just be patient and gentle. She's actually very smart. As for me… you can treat me similarly to how you act with Niade, just don't expect me to react exactly as she would. And try to relax a bit. You seem to get a bit tense easily.”
She thought for a moment before changing back into a more normal human appearance with wavy blonde hair reaching past her shoulders.
Grinning a bit, he leans against the wall,
"Okay, as you wish"
He said opening the door. Niade smiling sweetly at Mercy, she wanted to be friends with her, and unlike herself, Mercy was able to shift into more then a wolf, and a human. Which she was interested in. And all of the forms she would take shape in were all gorgeous. She admired it.
"What hes asking, is whos going with us."
She says smiling a bit.
Rune looked up back up at Mercy when she turned back into a human, “Hello,” she greeted humorously and giggled again. She was aware it was Mercy the whole time, she just found it funny. She crossed her arms across her chest to tuck her hands in her armpits, the closed place her arms felt most comfortable.
Mercy smiled at Rune, sharing a chuckle. ”If Rune would like to go, then I will as well. Since Finneas can track her, I don't think she should be left alone.” Her eyes gained a slight red hue at the simple thought of that man… If he could even be called that.
She took a slow breath to calm down before actually addressing the dark-haired girl. ”Rune would you like to go outside and walk for a while?”
Rune brightened at the word outside. She and Finneas went outside plenty of times! Outside was fun and really the only place she could fly an enjoyable distance before being called home. She bobbed excitedly, “Outside, Yes, Outside.”
The band on her wrist began turning a shade of orange, which seemed to make Rune uncomfortable. She stopped bobbing, the happy expression dwindling to a frown as she brought the band back up to her chest defensively. But despite that, she still continues to murmur “Outside..”
Young-Jae's feeling a little protective, kneels down to her, trying to looks at the band, but not touching her, in fear he would scare her.
Her own smile turned into a pensive frown.
”I bet he’s trying to track her now.” Her voice had deepened slightly as she held back the growl of at least five animals.
”We should probably leave now, so we don't end up having to fight him in your living room.”
Forcing her voice back to normal, Mercy reached to comfort Rune. ”It’s ok, Rune. You're still safe. We won't let him take you back.”
"Hey! And I'm pretty powerful! So I can protect you too!"
She says to Rune with a wink and a thumbs up. Young-Jay looking at her, he didn't seem to synthesized, but at least it was someone with some power.
"Okay let's go"
He says to the three girls while he walks out of the door.
Rune trailed alongside them, hunched over with discomfort and anxiety. She wrapped her arm around Mercy’s while they headed towards he door. The level of heat from the band told her how close he was, or rather how much he was relying on it to find her. The orange glow was warm, but not scorching hot yet. He must be somewhere in earth, somewhere in town.
