>>5941693Feeling this you immediately shut off your ki sense, turning your head from the door. Merus, noticing this steps forward, hand going back to his weapon cautiously. Seeing this you raise a hand to him, shaking your head before rising back up to your full height. But as he stands there, ready to attack, you could have sworn you've seen him somewhere before. There's something about him, about Merus that just feels familiar.
“I'm fine, I'm fine. Just... When I used my ki sense, I could <span class="mu-i">feel</span> him. He saw me as well.” you say, the patroller's eyes widening. He turns, glaring at the door then turns his head aside, you seeing his eyes are shut a moment longer before opening them. Rising back up to his full height as he turns fully back.
“I see.” he replies simply, but you can't shake the feeling that you know him. And, as you stare at the shorter man, Towa muttering to herself as she works her magic, he clearly doesn't like the intensity of your gaze. “Is something the matter?”
“Who are you?” you ask him, the man starting a bit in surprise. “Have we met before?”
“Have we...?” he mutters, raising a hand to his chin. It isn't like how most people do so, the point of his chin barely touching his index finger's first knuckle and the tip of his thumb. “No, I do not believe we have.”
“Because you're familiar. Somehow.” you say, watching his reaction. However, seeing you looking so intently at him, he covers his reaction well, not moving and going still. Perfectly, impossibly still. It lasts only for a moment, but he almost appears statuesque for that instant. It reminds you of something, on the tip of your tongue but you can't quite figure out why. “I don't know who you are, Merus. If that's even your real name. But there's something about you that isn't right.”
“Says the man who can bring even Freeza to task.” he replies, clearly attempting a joke to dispel the serious air between you. And as he makes the joke, the similarity to whoever he makes you think of fades as well. You don't know who you were thinking of, but there's more to this Merus than meets the eye.
“Good, all finished.” Towa says, you both turning to her as she dispels her magic. “Not only is the seal intact, but I managed to add a few more of my own as well.”
“You what?!” Merus exclaims, serious expression returning as he glares at her. “Do you have any idea what you've done, Outsider?”
“Oh please. Chronoa isn't around any more, little angel.” Towa says smugly, that one word causing it to click. Angel. You only know of one angel, who stands beside Beerus the Destroyer. The angel, Whis. That's who Merus reminds you of, he reminds you of Whis. “She can't stop me anymore. And neither can you.”
