[It shouldn't take long at least! Elda's nails are sharp as hell, but at least it's a simple cut. Once his sleeve is rolled back, Rin will set to cleaning it away with a cloth, and mild soap and water. A little disinfectant too.]

It'd probably scar if you did, but you could tell people fake stories about how you got it. Like you wrestled an alligator.

...Touché. [Touché indeed, good sir. Rin shakes her head, like she's embarrassed she forgot that.] Don't tell her I said this, but sometimes I forget Elda's a vampire. She's so different from the ones in my world.

This world or that world, though, most people wouldn't go up against one when it's angry. You'll have good street cred for sure.

Yeah. [There we go. Let's get a quick bandage over that, and she'll be done.]

You really did look almost cool for a second, though, when you were trying to save me. I wasn't expecting you to jump in like that.

Why? She was completely ready to tear into someone. I thought she might gouge my throat out for a second there.

It was a 55% to 45% chance in my favor. Those are technically good odds.

I knew someone would stop her; I just didn't expect it would be you. [Before he takes that the wrong way, she's quick to add:] You looked like you'd completely given up.
