[Said with the cadence of someone who completely understands the gravity of that, but is also quickly filing it away in a mental folder that's already chock-full of Bad Things.]
Is there anything else you learned while fighting him? It sounded like he had a sword. How about armour?
[Ooh, good question. Alisaie's eyes go distant for a moment (more than they already were, if that's possible) as she thinks back to their encounter.]
Visibility may prove a challenge, depending on when and where one encounters him. This Lord Regent seemed to almost glow against the night. He wore no armor that I can recall; my rapier was able to pierce him and spill Dust. He seems to take damage as a normal man would, but I suspect we'll find he has a heightened endurance and the ability to heal himself were we to fight with more than an intent to flee.
His strength and speed are beyond mortal capabilities, however. When I attacked, my momentum ought to have carried me safely past him. Yet he was able to turn in an instant to strike back. [She reaches up to her shoulder with her off-hand, touching the spot where the sword pierced her shoulder.] I would not have expected a stab wound to the shoulder to fully penetrate through to the back, but he ran his blade through me as though it were nothing at all.
He is a dangerous foe, but not invincible by any means.
I would caution you: A friend at home wields a weapon which shoots aether-infused ammunition. Even with such a power, there are many that cannot be felled by bullets alone. I would be surprised if this Lord Regent were so easily dispatched.
Good. Then I need not worry about you attempting to face him alone. 'Tis clear to me that it will take many of us working together should we be forced to confront him again.

Good. This is a manageable threat. Thank you for the detailed breakdown, Miss Alisaie.

To tell the truth, my gun is not particularly powerful. I'm used to things not being "easy," even with it in hand.
