At the border of Dragon Territory, a lone figure could be seen slowly trudging into the area, carrying what appeared to be a satchel bag slung over the right shoulder, bouncing slightly with each step taken. Covered in dried blood, his armor and clothing covered in ash, dirt, and rock dust, among other things, most of all blood, from the attacks dealt to him and his own flame attacks, Kazuya had been broken, battered, and bruised, but he had retrieved all seven Dragon Orbs successfully, and most importantly, he had come out of it alive.
Trudging through the streets, he was exhausted, but through sheer force of will, he was determined to stay conscious and report to Mathew. Then he'd pass out from fatigue once he was in his home. Reaching the doors of the Dragon Bank, he'd lift one arm up and rap his knuckles against it, and wait for someone to come to the door so he could be let in.

The person that opened the door was not Mathew, in fact it was a young woman in her mid twenties with blue hair that was pulled back into a tight bun. Every strand of hair accounted for and in it's place. She wore a red pants suit, perfectly ironed and maintained. A feat in this day in age.
The young woman looked down at Kazuya. Yes down, the woman who was already well above average in height standing at 6'3 was wearing 4 inch black heals having her standing at the rather imposing height of 6'7.
"What business does this one have with Lord Mathew?"
She asked in a sharp tone. All business this one was.

Unfazed by the imposing figure the woman in front of him cut, especially with the heels she wore adding to her already impressive height, raising his right arm up, a patch stitched on the inside of his sleeve was just barely visible beneath the tear cutting across the width of the bicep area of Kazuya's shirt. "You know why I'm here."He would answer back just as sharply, a no-nonsense look in his eyes despite his fatigue. |

Her thin lips pressed together until they almost vanished as she examined him with a distasteful click of her tongue. He was dirty, unkempt, bleeding, and poorly dressed. Certainly not in the proper state to address Lord Mathew, a literal God among men. Why he bothered playing with these children who called themselves Dragon she would never understand. But it was not hers to question Lord Mathew, but to obey his wishes.
She stepped to the side to allow him in, snapping her fingers sharply as a young Dragon Recruit rushed out to take the bag from Kazuya. If he relinquished it the young man would hold it out to Gemini who would open the bag and peer inside, tilting her head in a bird like manner with another unimpressed click of the tongue.
"Primitive. Pointless. Uninspired. If only a true craftsman had made these."
She was speaking of course about Hephaestus.

Stepping inside after being allowed in, he would relinquish the bag, and would watch her examine the contents of the bag.
"Barker soldiers weren't exactly choosy when they decided to steal all seven. Now are we going to stand here and lament the utter poor craftsmanship of the Dragon Orbs, or will I be able to have an audience with The Earth Dragon? Because if not, I'm taking the bag and leaving."
And to get his point across, he would take the bag from the young Dragon Recruit holding it, closing it up and slinging it back over his shoulder before folding his arms across his chest, giving the tall woman a fierce, almost hawk-like glare, but there was no hostility to be found in his eyes. Just wanting to get straight to the point.

Kazuya rips the bag away from the Dragon recruit who looks between Kazuya and Gemini, obviously not pleased to possibly be in the center of this little conflict. He had already had the displeasure of witnessing Gemini when she was unhappy, he did not wish to have that happen again with him as the target.
Gemini seemed unphased by Kazuya's actions and his words as she casually straightened her jacket and continued to peer at him with her gaze.
"Mister Hikari, I am afraid if you insist on dragging this out than no one will be getting anywhere. You are of course free to take the bag and leave if you wish to relinquish your audience with the Earth Dragon. If not then I suggest you stop playing games. This is a place of business if I may remind you."

"I just came straight from fighting and defeating seven of Barker's soldiers consecutively. Playing games is the last thing on my mind. Let's us get down to business then. Lead the way..."
Unfolding one arm and gesturing with his arm for her to go first, he would give the Dragon recruit a piercing but not unfriendly stare as he walked past, keeping the satchel bag at his side, underneath his right arm. He'd then turn his head forward after, a half bored or asleep but piercing look on his face, following after the young woman if she did in fact, lead the way.

"Seven soldiers? You must be terribly exhausted to have faced seven whole people."
She was not even slightly impressed, and if Mister Hikari believed that The Lord Dragon would be impressed by those numbers he was into a rude awakening. Again, it was not her place to judge, at least not verbally. She however did not lead the way as she looked down at the satchel.
"If you would be so kind as to hand them to Mister Smith here so he may take them away."
The Dragon recruit shuffled uncomfortably.

"Hardly. It was the traveling to each location that wore me out. The fighting was nothing compared to that."
Kazuya would deadpan. He wasn't here to impress her or anyone else. He was here to report to Mathew, simple as that.
"No deal. I'm supposed to report to The Earth Dragon, and I'm not letting anyone take the Dragon Orbs except for him. Until I receive what I came here for, the Dragon Orbs are not leaving my sight."

"Very well. Then you are dismissed Mister Hikari."
Gemini turns and starts to leave back further into the bank without another word. The clicking of her heels echoing on the hard tiles of the floor in the otherwise silent room. A few Dragon soldiers at various desks peeked up from their work, but no one else spoke a word.

Wordlessly, Kazuya would turn and with the satchel bag and Dragon Orbs still with him, would leave the Dragon Bank. He would take the young woman's words at face value. He wasn't going to play any games. If Mathew wanted the Dragon Orbs (or maybe not, he didn't care), he wasn't going to get them. The Orbs was proof of his success, he wasn't going to let them out of his sight until he saw Mathew physically.
