Stefan, Lucia and Adero
Ryu raised his hands in a placating gesture. "We're trying, we're trying. Haruto is doing his best, but we can't exactly just march up to the so-called Protectors and tell them to stop killing beasts. "Though uh," one hand reached up to scratch his head, "I wouldn't exactly call most of them defenseless. Make no mistake, we're quite aware they're dangerous, but so are a lot of animals."
"As far as what happens next," he continued with a breath, his hand once again falling to his side, "well, I was hoping to recruit you guys. Arch has enough energy stored up to contract with all of you" - he glanced down at the ferret, who nodded - "and we can get you training right away. That's what's in it for you, by the way; you get the powers and you can do pretty much whatever you want with them, as long as you a. do your best to protect Mediators and b. don't go wantonly showing it off to non-mages. Who knows what would happen if people got word about us?"
Dexter and Seth
Astros took a high route, running along the tops of buildings and jumping between them much as Takeshi had Dexter doing for the first portions of his training. He picked up his pace slightly when he sensed Dexter closing, his form barely visible as it streaked through the night, far more quickly than any ordinary cat could move. It was clear why he elected to stay out of the streets, watching him. However, he did attract a different sort of attention - a trio of. . . birds? began to move toward him, aiming to intercept his path further ahead. Their bodies seemed far too long and narrow to be normal birds, though any detail was difficult to make out when moving at this speed in the darkness of the night.
A passing magus, up late and lost in thought, picked up Astros's signal as well. If he glanced up, he would have seen the catlike being streak past along a rooftop, followed quickly by the beasts in pursuit.
Vixen
The flying magus crashed down hard enough to crack the pavement and send dust flying up. However, instead of having to recover after the heavy landing, the magus killer found the blade in his hand swinging with all the momentum it had previously possessed in her direction, a backblast of electricity and raw force illuminating the street behind them as it kicked the rubble generated by the landing backward, peppering the building behind him with shrapnel and cracking a window.
((This turned out a lot shorter than I thought it would, sorry for the wait.))
