I know what you're thinking. "OHEMGEH! DEY CAN'T FIGHT! HOW CAN THEY?!"
Newsflash. Just because they're a pairing (laaaater on), doesn't mean they actually be a couple the first time they meet. Ohhhh NO! I have to draw a fight scene. As you can imagine, Loralyn doesn't have a snowball's chance in heck of beating Cross. She likes to fight sometimes, but is not a battle-tard. (The Earl mainly sends her away for a distraction or to get an innocence, however rare that may be. Pfft...Jerk.) Uh-uh. I know Cross acts swuave and debonair to women, but let's face it: She's an enemy (at first) and she's trying to kill him. Duh. He fight's back. This is during the Arc...arc (no imagination XD), FYI. ^.^'
I apologize for the crappy background. I tried to remember what the arc looked like, but couldn't muster enough patience to go into the massive detail. Does it look authintic? Haha. I hope so! ^_^; Later, minna-san!
