“That isn’t the easier skill to learn. Maintaining your silence while being able to focus on something else is a talent that even skilled soldiers often lack. Working on it is commendable.”
The mention of speed had him pausing to think, but he couldn’t really confirm or deny whether or not speed was useful. For himself, Shadow would never say he was fast, but he certainly had the ability to disappear when he needed to. Vanishing into the shadow realm was a far quicker way to ‘escape’ than anything else ever would be.
The conversation as a whole was beginning to wear on him, though. and Shadow could feel his smile becoming strained and forced. He had come here for– why had he even come to hunters, again? Because of Blues? Or… another reason…
He needed to get out.
“The real test now is if you think you can hide yourself well enough that I cannot find you.” The words slipped from his mouth easily as Shadow continued to smile blandly at the girl. “You have 30 seconds to get situated.” It was unsaid, but implied, that she should go elsewhere.
“Mhm. My goal right now is successfully multitasking at least once. Then I can start on trying it more than once.”
She didn’t want an easy path at all. She wanted to get better the hard way. Because she wanted to work hard to get better, not take some easy way out. And learning to multitask would be good for that.
Though what he had said next made her blink in surprise, she didn’t waste any time disappearing at a speed that would have left any human in the dust trying to keep up.
She even managed to disguise which direction she was going in, which was even better!
Rebecca had ended up hiding herself in a small-ish storage closet, tucked up on a top shelf with her signals dampened as far as they could go.
