[Richie wakes with a jolt, panting heavily while lying on his back. He quickly pulls himself to his feet, head darting to look from over shoulder to shoulder for what happens next. A hand slips into his suit jacket to withdraw his knife. He flicks the blade from the bone handle while wide eyed and alert.
Monsters are expected. Something with long fangs and strong claws. What arrives instead makes Richie's face fall first, followed with a look of disgust. Eyes squint behind his glasses and his nose scrunches while lines deepen around his mouth. It's cute.
He doesn't trust it. This has to be a trick. Immediately after his eyes fall on the heavy knife in the Tonberry's hand. He knew it.
Richie charges forward with his own knife, landing the first blow into the Tonberry's soft innards. He manages another stab while the Tonberry lifts its own arm to strike. His mind quickly shifts to defense, using one of his long arms to push the Tonberry's knife wielding hand over his head.
He's not sure if there's anyone else around, but if there is they'd better get their ass out here to help.]
B. At the Temples
[After escaping the Tonberry Richie sets out to find some means of escape. He has to get back to Seth. His brother needs him, probably in the middle of a fight right now with no one to back him up.
Richie walks with a quick but lumbering pace, tall frame making heavy footsteps. When he finds himself facing the temples he stops. They're interesting from an architectural standpoint, and he finds himself drawn to the dark one that seems to want to keep people out. But they're temples, and like hell is he going to go inside and worship anything.]
