<fireoz> Red: So, she woke up at some god knows time in the morning, left sienna a note then wondered off to her own devices, stomach growling in sign that she was hungry, and wanted food. The young assassin probably should've headed back to C.C. Stars and told clue where she was, butttt that would be more effort than she was willing to put in, so instead, Red decided she was going to nick some pocket change from people and buy herself some breakfast. Hence, the random bumping into random people and the easy snatching of change without any ones notice. “too easy” she grinned, throwing up a coin purse she just whipped and catching it again.
<tooaya> Raven wandered in the streets, avoiding his Mr. guild leader person as usual. He was told that he should head to the training ground this morning, but screw that, he'd miss so much sleep if he did. Now that he had enough sleep, the first thing he wanted to do was to get out of the guild so he wasn't chased down by streams of lighting magic from his angry boss. He yawned, debating what he should do at the moment. It was too early for him to go to the entertainment guild, maybe he should find lunch first.
<Ayuuria> Rode swiftly down the street on his skate cycle, heading to no place in particular. Free loved to just ride around sometimes and it was also a good way to get intel at times since he could possibly catch wind of a conversation and eavesdrop. Free's guard was a little higher than usual due to the war going on and he wasn't about to get exposed.
<Coffee-sama> Sarah:Ended up taking a nap over a bench for no aparent reason. Her back was killing her, not like the cold bench helped a lot to it. She STRETCHED her body and walked around, carelessly. That much that she crashed againts a man on his skate cycle.
<Comical1> Caitlin: was out searching for Sarah. Last they spoke, they were both supposed to be tailing someone in order to sniff out information about the pirate assassination. So far, they hadn't regrouped. It was past due and she was anxious to see if her friend had discovered anything.
<Rufus-Vulpe> Red: counting up the money she had so far on her fingers, she nodded to herself. 'okay, jus need ta pickpocket some rich person and I should 'ave enough to get me some nice food' she thought to herself, nodding in confidence. Tugging up her hood once again, Red walked around lazily with her hands behind her head as she looked for a suitable target. It didn't take her too long before she spotted a snazzy looking bloke with a snazzy looking coat and snazzy looking boots. Obviously on the more wealthy side of the bandwagon, at least in comparison to other people roaming about anyway. Working up to a jog, Red purposely crashed into the male, her hand easily slipping into his pocket and pulling out what felt like a coin purse as she stumbled back, blinking stupidly. “sorry mistah! Didn' see ya there” she grinned, before jogging past and snickering.
<Ayuuria> Is taken by surprise when almost out of no where someone got out infront of him and crash right into them. "Owf!" he yelped somewhat as he hit the ground, losing his footing on his skate cycle. He didn't move for a few seconds but slowly got up, groaning a tad at the pain "Ow... Are you alri- Sarah?" he asked in mild surprise as he saw the pirate next to him.
<tooaya> Raven was looking at a random hot chick on the streets when someone bumped into him. He blinked and looked down, noticing the redhead. "Hey.." He didn't even get a word in when the female passed by him with a rush. "What was that all about.." He scratched his hair, instinctively reaching in his pockets to see if his money is safe. He raised a brow, realizing the empty purse in his pocket was gone. Hmph, not that surprising, but at least---his fingers came in contact with the coins that were left in his pocket and smiled. He wondered why thieves always went after the small bags that never contained anything, they should seriously try and be more creative.
<Coffee-sama> Sarah: "Owowow... Not again!" Groaned. It took her more than some seconds to reincorporate herself, to sit on the ground, rubbing her back with a hand. Wincing just as when Sienna punched her days ago. She looked at the man, after hearing her name "Oh... Free! We should stop meeting us like that haha" She said with a light chuckle.
<Comical1> Caitlin: She was speedwalking... not too fast that she looked angry, but just enough that it was clear she was anxious. Everything since the queens garden party had been a frazzled mess and she didn't know how to keep herself moving in one direction. It felt like she was splintering every which way trying to figure out the best course of action, and not actually getting a whole lot of anywhere. At last she spotted Sarah on a bench near the park, but her walking slowed as she also noticed Frees coming into contact with her. They hadn't spoken since that night... her palse raced. Was this a bad time?
<fireoz> Faye: Enjoying another rare day off, she had woken up at the break of dawn and set out for the marketplace to see what there was to be had for breakfast. Spying a bakery setting out fresh muffins, she strolled on over, following the scent of freshly-made bread, and entered the store.
<Rufus-Vulpe> Red: she paused a little away, looking into the purse and feeling her brow twitch. Empty, besides a few useless coppers that wouldn't help her any. Irritated, Red turned on her heel and backtracked to the spot she had last seen the male. She glanced around, unable to much among the large amounts of people with her small stature, so she ducked down, looking in between their feet. Glancing around for a few moments, she finally spotted a pair of white shiny boots. “there ya are” she grinned, jumping back upright and tracking after him. “ey mistah! You dropped somthin'!” she called, waving his man purse about in the air as she made her way back towards him. No way she was going to let this go down on her record as a failure, there was food on the line!
<tooaya> Raven breathed in, hearing Red return to him. Ah, here comes a thief who wouldn't take failure as an answer. He turned and glanced at the redhead lazily, noting his empty purse in her hand. "You can keep it." He gave the other a small and harmless smile, though to the other it probably looked as if he was mocking her. "consider it a charity, you can probably sell it for a few copper and buy...I don't know, a candybar or something."
<Ayuuria> "You should pay more attention to where you're going* he chuckled and got up. He dusted himself up before offering up his hand to the other. Inside though, he was uneasy as she was a pirate, an enemy. However she was also a friend and Free truly disliked losing them so all he could do was hope to god that his true identity wouldn't be discovered. "So what brings you out here?"
<Coffee-sama> Sarah: "Ahh... I could say the same, thanks" She laughed and stood up, taking the hand of her friend. The terrible backache hadn't dissappear yet, but she would get over it at some moment. She dusted herself. "Thanks" Said with a smirk "Oh. Coincidence... I was looking for some good place to have breakfast... then I fell asleep... That bench seemed more comfortable at the start" She laughed.
<Comical1> Caitlin: She breathed deeply in, then slowly out before correcting her posture (she didn't want to look timid) and approached the pair. She smiled confidently, even though her knees felt like jell-o, and she waved. "Hi Sarah, Hi Frees"
<fireoz> Faye: She walked back out of the store with a paper bag of baked goods in her arms. Feeling pleased with herself, she headed for the park - and found two familiar ladies there. She headed their way. It was dead easy to spot a military uniform and sometimes she was aware of how civilians always avoided bumping into her. Now, though, they paid her no heed and she was forced to weave through the crowd in order to avoid being bumped in the back.
<Rufus-Vulpe> Red: It took every muscle in her body to throw the purse at the irritating males fade, instead, she just blinked, now standing beside him and holding the small bag out to him. “eh, why would I need it mistah? I got plenty o' coin” she grinned, and although she wasn't exactly lieing, she wasn't exactly speaking the truth either. Her pockets were mainly filled with random junk rather than just money, since the girls sticky fingers basically grabbed anything they touched. Her stomach rumbled again however, and red felt her face flush. Wow, awkward timing or what?
<tooaya> Raven shrugged at Red's words. "Well, that's too bad, and here I was thinking I can actually be a good guy for once." He sighed in exaggeration and grabbed his empty purse, then took out the silver and gold coins that was scatted in his pcokets out, putting them into the purse right in front of the female's face. Hearing Red's stomach grumble he made a face and patted his own stomach. "Ahh that reminds me, I could use something to eat, all the naps I took in the morning sure worn me out!" He looked at Red, then grinned and stuffed the purse into his pants around the abdomen. "I guess I'll be on my way."
<Ayuuria> "Sounds like you had quite an adventure." he said light heartedly. He then heard a fimiliar voice call out to them and looked to see that it was none other than Cait. 'Oh boy...' he thought in his head as he wasn't quite sure how he should act around her now. He had been caught completely off guard by that kiss at the party. Giving an awkward smile, he answered back "Hey Cait, it's been a while."
<Coffee-sama> Sarah: "Aahh... I don't like sarcasm, you know..." She smiled at the man, raising an eyebrow, then a familiar voice sounded near to them. She turned (slowly) to see the newcomer. "Oh hey Cat! You're just in time. I was about to go... eat... breakfast." A fast light passed by her memory. She looked at Free, then back to Cat, then to Free. AWKWARD. She knew than, unless someone take her away, she'd end up in the middle of the awkward situation.
<Comical1> Caitlin: Her face turned redder the longer Sarah drew out her words. This wasn't going so well already. Even Sarah was feeling/acting awkward! She linked arms with her bestfriend, and with only a seconds hesitation, she linked her other arm with Frees (shooting for normalcy) and ushered them across the street to the nearest bakery. "That sounds like a splendid idea Sarah, and look there is the perfect spot for a light meal."
<fireoz> Faye: After some struggle through the early morning rush, she finally reached Sarah and Caitlin, and found Freestyle also there. "Oh my... Why did I think it was a good idea to come out this early in the day today?" she said as she walked up to them with her bag of baked buns. "...Breakfast, anyone?" she asked with a smile.
<Rufus-Vulpe> Red: okay, She had had enough. This guy was obviously a major bumrag, and It was Red's duty as a royal brat to make sure he knew that. “ya act like a phallus ta everyone ya meet? Or jus' da people who are doin' ya favours?” she scowled, crossing her arms and sticking her tongue out at him. Obviously, there was no point in playing nice any more, so Red would just be rude instead. Being rude was her speciality.
<tooaya> Raven raised a brow, giving Red an innocent expression. "No, just to people who---by chance, picked up my missing empty purse that had been resting in my pocket along with all my money." He grinned again, as if he was rather pleased to see the female's reaction. "How would you like to pick up my purse again, this time it's actually filled?" He patted his precious spot between his legs. "If you can pick it up again, I'll treat you for lunch, how's that---ah, with your hands please, though I guess I don't mind if you use your mouth either."
<Ayuuria> O-O;;; Not good. He wasn't expecting to be dragged someplace and part of him just really wanted to make a break for it. As he started to get dragged off, he quickly grabbed his skate cycle in his hand. He decided to allow himself to be taken so as not too look suspicious or rude. Making their way to the bakery he perked at the sound of someone calling out to them "Hmm? Ah, you're the one from before. Faye right?" he asked with a grinned.
<Coffee-sama> Sarah: "Oh! It is, riteeee-" Dragged. She never signed up to pass by those things. "Ooookay.... let's go then >>" She turned to see Faye near to them "Oh gog! I'm starving! What do you have over there!" Sarah left Cait alone with Free, to go drag a bun from the bag that Faye was carrying. When it was on her hand, she nommed it "Oh yeeeeesh! Delicious~ Thanks~ =u=" She patted Faye's shoulder. "So, Faye's your name, right?"
<Comical1> Caitlin: as soon as Sarah escaped her arm, she was left linked with Frees, which made her cheeks burn even brighter red than before. "Guess breakfast is served," she commented quietly to the side, indicating what Faye was offering the trio, and she released Frees arm before he could release hers to join the girls at an outdoor table (complete with deck-furniture-table-umbrella). She secretly hoped Free's would join, just so she could figure out how he felt, but almost just as strongly she wished he wouldn't so she could stop feeling so faint
<fireoz> Faye: "Mm... Yes," she said to Sarah, still smiling. "Um... I'm afraid I've forgotten yours.... Again...." she held the bag up for Caitlin.
<Rufus-Vulpe> Red: The female gave her own innocent shrug. “It's hardly me fault yer dropped it” she stated, waving a hand around in a 'no no' fashion, but her eyes lit up with challenge, not perturbed by the males bluntness all too much. “can't say i'm inta old men, howeva I ain't one ta turn down a free lunch either” she ginned, cracking her neck. Then she reached over, pulled him forward by his coat, kneed him in the crouch then proceeded to stick her hand down his pants and pull out the coin purse with a surprising amount of quickness and accuracy; The whole thing couldn't have been any longer than a couple of seconds. Afterwards, the female bounced back a little, throwing the purse up and catching it in her other hand as she wiped the one that had been down his trousers against her pants. “how was that? Or was It over too quick for ya?” she grinned, adding her own pervy comment as she now dangled the purse on one finger,watching him with amusement. Red had done far worse things than sticking her hand down a persons pants before, but needless to say, the ordeal had gathered the attention of a few passers by.
<fireoz> Faye: *totally ignoring dung people are doing because she's not at work*]
<JackTheXIV> Bloodletter stood in the crowd watching his fellow guildmate, Staying out of sight, out of mind, He held his Sheathed knife in one hand, She's drawing too much attention he sunk closer to the edge of the crowd, trying to grab her attention.
<tooaya> Raven grunted at the sudden blow to his crouch, immediately feeling the tears swirling up in his eyes due to the pain. "You..."He hissed, holding his precious spot by a hand and glared at the redhead before snatching up the female by the neck with the other, pulling her over to his face. Despite how much he was hurting he smiled, this girl was interesting, and suddenly his day just gotten better. Maybe it wasn't a bad idea to be out wandering on the streets this early after all. "Not bad, I liked that." His hold on the female's neck got even tighter as he leaned in, their noses almost touching. The hand that had been protecting his crotch moved up and yanked the purse back, though the force caused the fabric to tear, dropping the contents to the ground. While this was happening, Raven leaned in and kissed the female on the lips, his teeth grazing against Red's tongue briefly before he pulled away. He released the female when he was done, making a face at the coins scattered on the ground. "That was a waste. But no matter. Come, I'll keep my word."
<Ayuuria> He wasn't quite sure what to do at first. He had already had breakfast and he wasn't really hungry but then a thought hit him. Perhaps he could try to get some intel out of them and having a purpose like that in mind help ease his mind from the awkwardnes. "So how is everyone?" he said trying to make the atmosphere a little more casual as he sat down at the table.
<Coffee-sama> Sarah: "Oh well! After so long I finally catch your name! What do you like better? Fy? Fai? Fe?" She laughed. "Ah, the name is Sarah, try to don't forget it this time~" She winked, and nommed again the bread. Was in that moment that she realiced. She had left both friends alone. Awkward. To be honest, she usually prefered to evade those situations. "Hm-bhmmmh" Mumbled, with food still on the mouth "Ahaha! How am I? Good question. Still hungry, for sure."
<Comical1> Caitlin: Saw a moments opportunity and snatched it, "If you all will wait a moment, I'll go in and grab a few more scones," she proffered without waiting for a reply. Going into the bakery would give her a moment to breathe, and think, and grab breakfast - shewasawefullyhungryafterall.
<fireoz> Faye: "Ah, mm... I'm happy for a day off... I only get two a month, it seems..." she answered vaguely, nibbling on her own scone. As if remembering, she said to Sarah, "Oh, dear. I'm so sorry for forgetting your name. Sarah. I'll remember it from now on, I promise! And you..." she turned to Free, "You're.... Um..." a frown formed on her features as she failed to recall the boy's name.
<Rufus-Vulpe> Red: One minute she was trying to get this guys grip off her throat, the next thing she knew, the old geezer was smooching her! It happened rather quickly, or maybe it didn't, and she just wasn't expecting it, but one thing was for sure, Red had absolutely NO IDEA what to do now. Take it like a champ or swear and yell a lot? “DA frak YOU PEDOPHILE!” she yelled, one hand going to her throat while the other raked itself across her tongue in order to make the nasty taste go away. “da frak are you doing you psycho? What kinda crazy person likes being kicked in the nads?” she ranted to herself, tongue now just sticking out to show her disgust. After a few moments she got back in control of herself, staring at the coins on the floor. Why? Why did she always have the misfortune of coming across the crazy ones? “whadda waste, I'm not sure that was worth it” she grumbled, crouching down and picking up a few coins. “if I come, yer promise not to stick yer tongue back in me mouth?” she asked, only considering it because her stomach once again growled loudly, although weather or not that was now because she felt rather ill was yet to be decided
<JackTheXIV> Bloodletter Lex smiled under his mask, It was her own drat fault, Flaunting her skill like that, For every action there is a consequence, But who would have seen that coming, He stared at the man, trying to figure out who this guy was, this masochistic Womanizer...
<tooaya> Raven blinked at the female's sudden outburst. "Woah there. Pedophile?" He squinted, eyes pointedly staring at Red's chest. "You are quite developed for a..child. What did your mother feed you?" He put his heads up in an effort to calm Red down, but obviously not putting enough of an effort to show that he cared. "I said I liked your courage, not the fact that I might not able to produceany offsprings in the future--although yeah, that does sound good." He shrugged as the girl started picking up the coins. "Hey, you were the one who came onto me first." He turned around, not caring if the girl's following, if she decided to run away, then she can use his money to buy herself lunch, which was what he promised, anyway. "It depends on how well you are going to behave. You earned a kiss by kicking a guy in the balls, I say you got the better part of the deal."
<Ayuuria> He chuckled as Faye tried to remember his name "The name's Freestyle but I go by Free" he grinned widely. It seemed that his question had gone unnoticed but he didn't mind. He was beginning to return to his usual self again.
<Coffee-sama> Sarah: "Mhm, don't worry about my, my dear" She finished nomming her bread. The only time she had really cared about Faye forgetting her name was the time on the vineyard, to be honest. And even then, she didn't know why that happened. "So! I'm hoping you guys aren't just planning to stay here all day, right? We need to go out and do something interesting! It's a beautiful day. And I bet you don't want to be her to talk about feelings Right, Free?" Nudge nudge.
<Comical1> Caitlin: Still in the bakery, buying scones, and glancing back periodically out the window to look at her companions. It was always refreshing to see Faye, but it also made her itch with curiosity to see if Sarah had garnered any info from her about the incident. Then, those thoughts drifted apart as she peered at Frees. Her heart thrummed a bit, though she clamped down on it. No way was she going to allow herself to think foolishly enough to fall for a side of Frees he can't even stand being. The person in that puppy dog costume at the ball was NOT the person she was looking at through the window. She looked again. And sighed... then groaned, this wasn't going to help. She took another quick look at him - seeing a man that looked the same as her dashing date in the moonlight, but it was morning now - and he was not that man. They needed some kind of diversion. SHE needed some kind of diversion, and she needed it soon.
<fireoz> Faye: "Oh~ An activity together would be wonderful! But... What's this about feelings...?" she asked, looking politely curious as she held her half-eaten scone in one hand and tilted her head.
<Rufus-Vulpe> Red: “I'm not ta a child” she glared irritated, hands now moving protectively around her chest. “i jus' dun like being lip smacked by an old fart” nose scrunching up, she left the majority of lesser coins on the floor before hopping up and following after the weird male. For one thing, he still owed her lunch, the coin was just a bonus in her mind. For another thing, although Red felt completely violated, she wouldn't deny the male was interesting.... in a creepy, old guy peedo kind of way. “an' I didn't come onta ya either. You mada challenge and I accepted it, and won. If I knew yer were gunna stick yer greasy mitts on me, I wouldn't 'ave bothered” she stated, now walking beside him and making over exaggerated hand gestures while she complained. “but I didn't go through all that ta not get anything in return. Yer owe me lunch!” she finally grinned, eyes lightly up at the thought of food. She was completely unawares of the eyes watching her, despite her being a so called assassin.
<Ayuuria> "Hmmm... ah ha ha" he gave an awkward chuckle. He really didn't want to think about it. "It's nothing" he said quickly trying to dodge the subject.
<JackTheXIV> Bloodletter His eyes Darted across the crowd before he fled from the scene, So long as there weren't any pirates, She would probably be safe, He leapt into an alleyway stripping off his Leather Jacket and forcing it into a canvas bag, He pulled the Strips of leather armor from his leggings and hid the canvas bag under some trash, to give it that authentic Homeless smell. He again walked into the alleyway no longer dressed as Bloodletter but instead Himself, Lex Cohen.
<tooaya> Raven waved his hand without turning. "For your information, I'm not even 30. Your definition of old sounds very broad." He glanced back to Red with a smirk. "Maybe you should ask first to see if there're other conditions before you accept a challenge. I never said I wasn't allowed to kiss you, similarly, I never said you couldn't knee me in the crotch, so we are even." His eyes followed Red as she walked up beside him and scratched his hair. "Yes yes, I get that. My loss, my loss." Not that he mind it, Red had provided some good entertainment, and a kiss. He looked to the girl and reached a hand out to ruffle her hair. Hey, he's an old fart, might as well act like one.
<Remanoir> Mer: The crisp morning air promise a day of sunlight as Mer travels down the narrow street. She carries with her two big bags of flour, each half her size, as she makes her way around the morning market and towards the local bakery. Ever since the incident involving the pirates Mer has taken extra caution with her appearance. Instead of her traditional blood red clothes, she traded it for a pair of normal brownish yellow khaki and an oversize plain earth green sleeveless vest. Her chest is still of course bounded with bandage, but the tattoo on her stomach is now covered up. In fact, the one on her shoulder blade is also covered with a leather shoulder pad that straps around her waist. Her black hair is messy, unkempt, and her bangs covers up her red eyes. In fact, she just looked like a normal black hair tan delivery girl who lives in the slums. Rounding the corner to the bakery, she spots one very familiar trouble maker in the company of a different girl. At this Mer raise an eyebrow, since when did Free become such a playboy? Regardless, it wasn't any of her business and she does have a delivery to make. Walking pass the two, she carefully enter the bakery, making sure that the bags of flour makes it in the room with out any tear or scratches.
<Yelsah> Sienna Had spent the whole day working on fixing the busted pocket watches she’d gotten from Red before. They’d turned out nice, probably nicer then they’d been originally. She’d sold half of them already and had decided to try and locate the young girl. She’d tried going down the street she’d met her at and the surrounding area. But alas, neither her or her flamingo had managed to find her. Giving up she was on her way home when Mingo kindly let her know he was hungry by head butting her, again. “Ah bird, stop doing that. My face isn’t made of bone!” She admonished. As she was rubbing her face she glanced up to see a good deal of red. Well what a surprise! There she was. Paying no heed to her companion she made her way to the girl with a smile and a wave while her pink companion saluted her with a flourish. Only once she was standing near them did she recognize the voice of the man. “Fan Thief!” She stated in surprise and immediately covered her mouth. Crap…
<Coffee-sama> Sarah: Laughed. This all was amusing to her "There's so many irons on the fire, Fy. It's all I can say UvU" She stood up, her stomach groaled loudly. She gasped. "drat! I'm still hungry and Cat hasn't came back yet. I'll go check for her. Wait here, sweeties~" And so she walked, heading to the bakery.
<Comical1> Caitlin: Had just finished paying for the half dozen scones she'd ordered for their table when the door chimed and she turned to spot two figures directly in front of the door.... the first, was Sarah, the second... "Mer!" she growled under her breath. Then she checked her attitude. This was stupid. It wasn't like there was anything between her and Frees so why was she acting so protective over thier 'relationship'? Instead she shook her head and scampered over to Sarah, handing her a scone and saying "here, I got six total, are the other two still hungry?"
<fireoz> Faye: "Hmm..." She looked perplexed at Free's nervousness, but didn't press the matter further. Instead, she asked him, "So~ What do you want to do today~?"
<Rufus-Vulpe> Red: “ey, yer older then me, so there for yer old” she nodded to herself, as if her logic was sound, to her it was anyway. Placing her hands behind her head, she continued walking thinking over the males words. She couldn't think of a reasonable response, because he was right. The odd male didn't state rules. “fine fine, but we're not even till ya get me some grubb” she muttered, before yelping as the man ruffled her hair. She made a small whining noise, trying to flatten the already messy strands down, but not really bothering with outwardly complaining. Her hair was already a mess after all. Her attention didn't change until she saw a flash of brown and pink, looking up with her hands still pressed against her hair. “eh, miss sienna?” she asked, before turning her head towards the male beside her. “fan thief?” Red snickered behind her hand, an eyebrow cocked in questioning.
<JackTheXIV> Lex Cohen He pulled his hood up and turned the corner around he bakery, the smell of fresh baked goods was always a great one. His smile faded though, as he stared across the way, he spotted Freestyle and Faye, he also noticed two pirates , he continued walking as though nothing was wrong, and quickly jumped into a circle of scholars who seemed to be discussing the War, he stood with them, being inconspicuous.
<tooaya> Raven laughed at Red's logic. The girl said she wasn't a child, but her actions...he shook his head, at least she had an attractive body, if only she was more clean. "You don't have to remind me again of my awesome failure." He pouted intentionally before his ears twitched at the word fan thief. Turning, he eyed Sienna, though it took him a moment to recall who she was. The flamingo easily triggered his memory though, it made Raven smile. Instead of greeting the lady he called out a "Why good day, Mr. Flamingo." and pressed a hand against Red's head, forcing her questioning look away.
<Ayuuria> He watched as Sarah went inside to go after Cait and it was at the moment he caught sight of a fimilar face. 'Mer!... Oh boy.' he thought in his head as the two girls were going to come face to face again. 'Mer better not blame this one on me this time..' he thought in his head with a sigh. He turned back to Faye "I don't really have anything planned today so I don't really have a preference as to what to do." he said casually.
<Coffee-sama> Sarah: She stopped in front of the door. For a moment she tought she had spotten a familiar face. She raised an eyebrow. Was it The teacher?. "Pffft- I know you're around" She said it, not really knowing if her was hearing or not, and entered to the bakery. "Hey Cat.. You didn't returned so I came here to see if everything was alright..." A tanned girl entered to the bakery, her face seemed familiar. And the expression the face of her friend confirmed that the were going to be problems...
<Yelsah> Mingo cast a calculating look in Raven’s direction. Well, someone had manners. He dipped his head politely in his direction. How nice, he was the one in charge here after all since the woman below him was simply his nest. Sienna Lowered her hand sheepishly after a moment which was easy to do since he was talking to the bird. Their fist conversation had been amusing so she was able to calm down more or less. “Sorry… about the fan thief… thing.” She offered shyly. She glanced back over to Red and smiled excitedly. “Here Red” She said eagerly as she held out a nice amount of money to the girl. “Those pocket watches brought in some money. Here’s what I’ve got so far. I’ll sell the rest later, okay.” She said reassuringly.
<Comical1> Caitlin: blinked, and pursed her lips together as she noticed Sarah sizing Mer up. In a low voice she hissed "know her? what guild does she belong to? she know's frees, do you think they work together? what does Frees do? he never told me, I don't know if..." she had to stop and take a breath.
<Rufus-Vulpe> Red: slapping the males hand away, she glanced back to the black woman curiously, then her eyes dipped down to stare at the money greedily. She didn't say anything for a moment, her hands twitching as she went to grab the money, but she stopped short. Eye brow twitching as she had an internal debate with herself about weather or not she should take the money, Red eventually dropped her hand, turning her head away stubbornly and crossing her arms. “thanks, but I dunn need it. Besides, I got the old geezer to pay for stuff” she grinned cheekily, thumbing to the male beside her. “so keep da coin. I can always steeeeeelllllbbborrow some more off o' some one else”
<Remanoir> Mer: Of course the two gasp of her name completely blew her cover. She did not expecting to meet Caitlin here so her gasp was predicted however Free on the other hand.... Mer signs internally, one of these days she needs to kick some sense into Free. Even if he isn't on the job doesn't mean he can run his mouth off all over the place. But first thing first, she walked up to the shopkeeper and placed the two bag of flour on the counter. "Here you all's order sir. Thanks for doin' business with us." She calls to the shopkeeper with a slight country accent. After the exchange, Mer walked back outside, just fast enough to catch Caitlin's feverish pelt of questions that she is raining on another unknown girl. Rolling her eyes, she sneaked up behind Caithlin, " One, my guild is really none of your business young lady. Two, I work with him in that toy shop, and three, Free is a toy seller. Any other question?" All of this is commented with an disinterested tone clearly marked that Mer was not really amused by Caitlin's nosy questions.
<fireoz> "Mm.. Well!" She beamed at him. "We can ask the others what they'd like to do~ I'm sure it will be fun." She leaned her elbow on the table and put her chin in her hand. "I've never had a day out with friends before... I don't think hanging out with my squadmates counts."
<tooaya> Raven nodded to Sienna seeing the female actually apologized. He flung his arm backwards in a circular motion dramatically before it returned to Red's head, stubbornly resting on there. He gave the flamingo a dazzling smile before raising a brow at the money and Red's reaction. "You know, I said I'd treat you lunch, but I never said I'd donate you the coins." He ruffled on Red's hair with greater force this time. "You should take the money that you actually earned---and give back the money that doesn't belong to you."
<JackTheXIV> Lex Cohen started really getting into his conversation with the Scholars... He kept his eye on Free though, Sarah had said something earlier directed at him, he kept his knife ready to protect his friend if need be.
<Yelsah> Mingo eyed Raven when he smiled. He didn’t trust that kind of behavior and puffed up slightly… just in case. >_> Sienna Looked a little confused but smiled at Raven’s logic. “Stealing’s no good if you have money coming in.” She added with a smile and held the money out again.
<Ayuuria> "Haha, don't get along do you?" he said although part of him was a little nervous about what was going on inside but didn't show it.
<Rufus-Vulpe> Red: The small female frowned, feeling her head sink down as the male stubbonly rested his hand on her head, growling a little as the drat male ruffled her already messy hair again, making it even worse. “If you wanna to be literal, I didn't exactly earn dat money clean neither. If I did everythin' by da books i'd be dead already” she shrugged, before slapping the males hand again. “n' geddoff! Or i'll bit you!” she warned, ducking out from under the hunters grip and around closer to Sienna. “keep da coin lady, yer need it more than me” she muttered, looking off towards the crowds with a pale blush. She wasn't used to being this humble.
<tooaya> Raven let his hand jump away this time, heeding Red's warning. "You are welcome to bite me on the lips anytime missy." He added in a sing-song voice before staring at his money in Red's possession. "Hey, I need my coins more than you do too!" You know, for all the entertainers at the enterainment guild! Of course he swallowed that part back. Instead he pushed the redhead toward sienna. "Take the money from the willing, it'll make you look better."
<Coffee-sama> Sarah: "Ah... what?" She looked confused at her friend. What was she talking about? That girl? Something to do with Free? "Nooo I don't know her and I don't think that she--- " The mentioned girl passed in front of them in that moment, Sarah frowned "Don't talk like that to my friend, you little jerk" Her voice was calm while saying so.
<Yelsah> Mingo watched as Raven continued to harass poor Red and decided, as the only ‘real’ male in the group to mediate on their behalf. This was done by viciously head butting him when he was shoving the poor girl forward. Sienna Was still in agreement that the girl take the money so she didn’t say anything else. But she was a little perturbed with the man’s actions. She of course said nothing but her pet’s timely head whack elicited a squeak from her. “Ah no, Mingo… don’t do that…” She muttered since the damage was done.
<Comical1> Caitlin: her Face was changing colors so fast she doubted anyone else could see it but she could feel it; from ashen grey at the shock of Mer pipping up over her shoulder, to blazen red with anger and embarassment at being caught gossiping, to downright glowing with adrenaline. Sarah called Mer out before Cait could, but her hand was already on her sword. It might have been a tough call one on one, but with two against one, she knew they'd have the upper hand. "Yeah, just one more question," She smiled wickedly, widening her stance the way she always did before engaging in swordplay, "what ambiguous safe house would you like to be delivered to after clashing with either of us? And to think, with that tone of voice you'd believe there was a molecule of common sense in that head of yours," she smirked.
<Rufus-Vulpe> Red: stumbling slightly she growled, “keep yer nasty lips to yerself!” she righted herself, then stubbornly crossed her arms. “and i said I ain't takin' it, so I ain't takin' it!” she stated, tone firm showing she wasn't going to change her mind, her will as immovable as a giant slab of rock. “besides, if yer were so desperate to keep yer coin, yer shouldn' 'ave made dat bet” she pointed to him, before staring blankly as the flamingo headbutted him. It took her a couple of seconds before “BHA HAHAHAHA” she cracked out into laughter, holding her sides. Maybe it wasn't that funny, but it was amusing to watch the arrogant man (who she still didn't know the name of) being attacked by a flamingo.
<tooaya> Raven's smile remained on his face, though it was a much less friendlier one than before. The hand that rested on Red's head lifted to grab the pink bird by the beak. "I think Mr. Flamingo's looking for a duel." He chuckled and started twisting the bird's neck, making a knot around its legs before stuffing the bird in his arm. With that he turned around and waved to the two females as he stepped away. "I changed my mind, I think I'll be having barbequed flamingo for lunch. Wonder how that tastes."
<Remanoir> Mer "Fire is a dangerous element, full of energy and spark, but alas it lives only in a flicker of a moment, dies when it's fuel runs dry." Mer simply states as her eyes looks to Caitlin then to Sarah, her tone even and calm, their threats of violence does not faze the short black haired woman. "I am part of the earth, if where I stand is where I die then I'll be happy if my body is left on the ground. After all, I am but an animal. The earth is my home." Mer's eyes return to Caitlin, "Answer me this young lady. Why go so far for a 'jerk' like me? Isn't it better to be above then to be equal?" Her body does not respond to the tension in the air instead is relaxed as if she is merely conversing with her neighbors about the weather.
<Yelsah> Mingo was not expecting to be assaulted in a such a manner and barely figured out what was going on when he was whisked away from his nest. Sienna Had been getting ready to apologize and offer him the money she had for the birds behavior. He’d been doing so well too. But before she cold react he’d cruelly tied the bird into a knot and turned to leave talking about cooking… The next thing she knew she’d launched her small body at his retreating form and right at his legs. No one hurt her friends bird or otherwise!
<JackTheXIV> Lex Cohen he slipped away from the scholars, he walked slowly into Mer's View, as he caught her attention he simply Shook his head as if to say, Don't fight. when he noticed one of them turn their head he slid into the doorway of a building, remaining out of sight. from all, except Faye who he believed had caught a glimpse of him.
<fireoz> Faye: "Mm, we do, but..." she trails off, leaving her thoughts unspoken. She stared into space past Free's shoulder - though actually, she thought she had caught a glimpse of someone else who was familiar.
<Ayuuria> "Hmm" he looked back to see why Faye had stopped talking and his eyes widened in surprise at what was going on. He instantly shot up from his chair and bolted inside, trying to get between "Woah Woah Woah! What's going on?!" he yelled, putting his arms out as though to try to distance them.
<Coffee-sama> Sarah: Wasn't feeling any fear, just tilted her head with the short woman speaking. A questioning eyebrow raised on her face. "Big words to a woman of your height, don't you think? And it seems like your fuel it's about to runs dry, little woman. So motionless in such a situation...Nobody keeps so estoic in a situation like this.... unless you were...." Sarah opened her eyes wide, and put a hand over her sword, ready just in case her assumptions were right.
<tooaya> Raven lifted his leg away feeling Sienna lounge at her and lifted the bird up in reflex. He looked at the dark female with an amused expression before turning to Red, keeping his hold on the bird strong as the other tried to yank it away from him. "Careful, you don't want to actually kill Mr. Flamingo." With that he twirled around, setting the jumbled bird on his shoulder, one hand to keep it stable. "I do have a phallus, and you are this close to touching it mind you." He pronouced his words loud and clear before smiling to Red. "Since you are feeling so heroic all of a sudden, I might as well play the bad guy here." He nibbled on the bird's feather with his finger and tipped his chin to Sienna. "How about you return those coins to me and accept the coins from Mrs Flamingo, then I'll set the bird free, and I treat both of you for lunch?" He turned back to Red expectantly. "It's up to you, or if you can make the bird say 'I'm sorry oh great Ravenblaire for hurting your preciously handsome head, I shall never do it again or I'll be plucking my pretty pink feathers out'?"
<Comical1> Caitlin: so many things registered at once. First: it felt good to start a fight, all that frustration needed an outlet somewhere. Second: What Sarah was implicating cut strait to the core, and Third: as Frees conveniently put himself between them, she realized that if it was true for Mer, then it was probably true for him too. Her face went pale, as her brows knitted together and her expression turned grave. "Everybody else, OUT, this instance-" she shouted to the other patrons, while keeping her eyes on the potential enemies. "Even you dough boy," she said to the worker behind the counter.
<Yelsah> Mingo did not appreciate this treatment. And he certainly would not repeat that ridiculous line of hog wallop. Not like he could. >_> Sienna Hit the ground rolling and landed on her shoulder funny. What had made her think that was even going to work? Desperate times called for really stupid ideas apparently. She pulled herself off the ground and eyed Raven with an unamused stare before looking to Red with a patient expression and held the money out to her again.
<Remanoir> Mer: Alas, panic, sheer bloody panic amongst various different people as the crowd instead of running away, gather around the four eager to watch a good fight. Mer signed, looking at the eager faces around them, ignoring Free for a moment before calling out with a sort of indifferent voice, "Impeccable timing you have there Free." The tan woman return her gaze to the back of Free's head as she kept her stance of non-aggression and neutrality. She neither denies nor accept Sarah's implication preferring to let the two girls hang out in the grey area.
<Rufus-Vulpe> Red: oh boy, this guy was playing with fire, and it was obvious that the small female was anything but willing to agree to his terms. It wasn't even a matter of being humble any more, It was down to just a pure battle of wills. Her against this arrogant jerk, and Red wasn't willing to just give either. “If yer dun hand over the bird, yer wont have a phallus for much longer” she threatened half peevishly, pointedly ignoring sienna and the money. drat it she wouldn't be manipulated into doing something she said she wouldn't. Thinking on her feet, Red let her mouth open and blurted the first thing she could think of. “how about a bet?”
<tooaya> Raven's grin got wider hearing Red's comment. "I'd like to see you try missy. But you should be prepared to be chewed on your lips again if that happened---oh I guess it wouldn't be just the lips on your mouth either." He waved his free hand dismissively at Red's challange. "I'm not into bets." Sighing again he pouted, "I guess I'll just have to play the bad guy a while longer, sorry Mrs. Flamingo." He patted the pink bird on his shoulder playfully and laughed, "Why don't we go on a date Mr. Flamingo? I'll show you the wonders of fire."
<JackTheXIV> Lex Cohen He took a deep breathe and stepped into the Shop, he made sure his shoes made loud noise as they stomped on wooden floors, "So Sarah, This is how you spend your mornings? Much like how you spend your evenings? Trying to pick a fight?" he stood about ten feet away, he had no sword, and his hands were at his sides, "You Pirates, Always resorting to Violence.... You are so Silly" He looked over to free, "Put Your arms down freestyle, You look like a Monkey,"
<fireoz> Faye: *continues staring off into space after Free leaves but gets called by a soldier and has to go take an emergency work shift*
<Yelsah> The pink bird knew all to well what fire was and had absolutely no desire to meet it in any way, shape or form. He wiggled about in protests but his ensnared situation didn’t allow much else. Sienna Frowned when he continued to threaten the bird. She had a feeling he didn’t mean it, but that didn’t make it any better in the end. And there’s was always the chance that he really did mean to kill him. “Wait.” She said in a demanding voice. “She’s not going to give in, she’s too prideful for that. If you want or need something done in return I’ll do it. It’s no fair punishing Mingo or Red for my inability to control a flamingo.” She offered staring him dead in the eyes. Fake threat or not, this kind of thing was no fun when something living was on the line.
<Ayuuria> He gave Mer a weird look before turning his attention tback to the girls "Calm down Cait! What's this all about?" he said. His heart was racing, 'They may have just figured out who we really are..' he thought and tried hard not to turn his attention to Mer since it would only raise more suspicion. 'We've stood out too much... We've got to retreat for now' he thought in his head. At that moment he heard Bloodletter come in and was just stunned by his comment 'Are you trying blow our "covers"?!' he thought and he wanted to shout that but then that would really just blow everything so he held back. He didn't say anything and kept his arms up in some vein attempt to decrease suspicion.

He didn't say anything and kept his arms up in some vein attempt to decrease suspicion.
<Rufus-Vulpe> Red: “enough with the peedo lines gramps! Do yer act like a dollymop with every female yer meet!” she yelled in frustration, throwing her arms up in annoyance. She was running out of Idea's, and the male's constant blunt comments were starting to get to her. All she wanted was some food, and instead she gets all this mess. Why her? What did god have against her to condemn her with such bad luck? Why didn't she just go pickpocket some other rich special? Her inner rant stopped however and she looked at Sienna in mild shock. She wasn't really expecting such an outburst from what she gathered the females mild personality. She didn't say anything more though, if Sienna could get the bird out of this mess without Red's pride being damaged, she'd let the female do so.
<Coffee-sama> Sarah: "Only us, teacher?" She turned to stare at him with a mischievous smile on hes face, then her gaze went to Free "Security, Free. This is a WAR, remember? And if my suspicious are right... I don't want to be taken by surprise. Happened me before..." Her gaze went back to Lex, remembering their encounter days ago. "Also, teacher, what can I say? Troubles always look for me. The only thing than erase the boredom..."
<Comical1> Caits eyes dodged back and forth between the others talking. What was Sarah talking about and why didn't she already know about it??? She eyed the man 'teacher' and realized she vaguely recognized him. "Letter?" she asked, confused. Her fingers tightened on her sword. Possibilities swam in her head, and when her eyes settled on Frees again, a weird sense of betrayal smothered her. Perhaps it was misplaced, but the feelings were too strong to think through and at that moment, she pulled out her sword and held it in front of her, while placing a foot in front of Sarah in case her friend hesitated to draw. "I don't trust any of you to be who you say you are, cause you're not are you, Teacher?" She slurred sarcastically with her eyebrows raised. "and what about you Frees? Is that your real name?"
<tooaya> Raven stared at Sienna with an unamused expression, then sighed again. He set the flamingo back onto the dark female's head, not bothering to untangle the bird's neck. "You are really making me sound like the bad guy." Nevertheless, he smiled, it was a helpless but gentle smile. He really can't guard himself against idiotic people like Sienna who put herself in front of everyone else, whether or not they appreciated her efforts. He glanced to Red, ignoring what the other's protests and flicked a finger against the girl's forehead. "Better thank your dear friend--and stay away from my purse." He warned Red, the smirk quickly returning to his face, but not for long, for he turned around once again, this time walking off without turning back.
<Yelsah> Sienna Stared at Raven in surprise when he gave her back the bird. She didn’t say anything as he walked off and finally turned back to Red. “Er….. I didn’t think that would actually work.” She admitted with a small smile. Heh, apparently he was a nice guy deep down after all, though she still thought he was a little stuck on himself. "I can still buy you lunch if you'd like." It was kinda her fault she'd missed out on it anyway. She unraveled her feathered friend who upon being released wrapped himself around her neck tightly. He wasn’t going to be tugged off anytime soon, not without a fight. >_>
<Remanoir> Mer: "Why are you asking if you don't trust us then?" Mer calls out passively, " Or are you trying to reassure yourself that your fluffy white dream isn't spiraling out into a mess?" Mer looks towards Lex and give a nod of acknowledgement before turning her attention back to the two pirates. Mer wonders if she can just walk away, this whole issue is getting out of hand. Obviously their guild has not do the killing. She checked, twice chasing down details and job orders. Obviously someone is trying to draw the two guild into a war, and it's working.
<JackTheXIV> Lex Cohen Raising His empty hands he eyed the bakery, "Caitlyn? I didn't recognize you with hatred all over your being, and Sarah, Please..." He shook his head, as he stepped back, "Get out of here you" he shouted at the crowd, who started shuffling to the door behind him, he turned back to the pirates, "I'm going to leave now, if You truly wish to fight me, Fight me and only me, out here..." he backed away from the wooden tables and blended into the crowd as they left.
<Ayuuria> At this point, Free knew things had gotten out of hand and slowly put his arms out. 'Well... I guess our "cover" is just about blown' he thought with solemn look on his face. He truly did not wish to fight these two but now it seemed imminent. He turned to Mer and gave her the "Pull back for now" look. He then shook his head and sighed.
<Coffee-sama> Sarah: The Blue Shine Was almost out of its holder. Her arms were tensed, that mischievous smile, so common on her, brighter. A fight! That's what she really wanted! To kill that boredom that was over her in that moment. But wait... Could it be what they were expecting? Make the pirates to look like bastards while the assassins passed clean by all that. She let out a deep breath and made a gesture to Cait to calm down. "Wait, Cait... We have no proofs about anything, okay? If you want to fix any bussiness with this... fine lady, keep the weapons out ot if, please." Her body was relaxed now, and made her way to the exit, a little bit of revenge awaited for her outside. "Free... can you take care of Cait?" And so she left, completelly oblivious about Free.
<Comical1> Caitlin: "Buh-what?!" she almost choked. Let the assassins go for now: fine, but tell Free's to take care of Cait after this deception?? really? But then again, its not like he knew she had been a pirate either. Or did he? did Sarah ever tell him? was he using their friendship as a method of insight? She sheathed the sword, though her hand never left the hilt, and she tilted her chin higher, refusing to speak to Mer again, and staring at Frees like she was waiting for an explaination.
<Remanoir> Mer: "Yes Free, do comfort the young lady. If anything it'll be a learning experience." Seeing how the shop has quickly emptied, Mer walked pass the two and exit the building. The door of the shop swished closed behind her, the chime of the doorbell linger bitterly in the now silence room.
<JackTheXIV> Bloodletter His hood covered his face, His Chestplate leaned against a decorative stone, He closed his eyes and took a deep inhale, he fiddled with his leather gloves and vambraces, opening and closing his hand, wiggling his wrist. deep down he hoped she wouldn't come.
<Ayuuria> He had an apologetic look on his face "Sorry for all this ruckus Cait. Did Mer do something?" he asked as though it were some last ditch effort to cover his identity.
<Coffee-sama> Sarah: "You weren't expecting me to go after you, huh?" She walked forward, a hand on her hip and the other one over the handle of her sword. However, her body wasn't tensed, and her expression was relaxed, as if her intentions weren't to fight.
<Comical1> Caitlin: She was alone with Frees in the bakery now. He looked so repentant that it was really difficult for her to hold onto her anger. She wished he'd hug her, and say none of it was what it looked like, but that was more foolish than kissing the enemy in the first place. "I want answers, Frees," she spoke flatly, trying to keep any emotion out of her voice. It was important they figured out what "this" was between them now, so that she could resist agonizing over it later. Especially if the war dictated that one of them would end up needing to kill the other. I mean, an assassin, for crying out loud! she thought in disbelief.
<JackTheXIV> Lex Cohen "I didn't Want you to come after me," He stared at her for a moment. "So does this mean we have to start Killing each other?" he held his hands loosley at his sides.
<Ayuuria> "What sort of answers?" he asked with a hesitant look on his face.
<Comical1> Caitlin: The most important question to ask is whether or not Sarah had been right in deducing their affiliation with the assassins. Are you one of them? she meant to ask, but instead she ended up saying "Do you care about me at all?" Her lips pressed tightly shut as soon as the words were out and her eyes widened a bit in surprise at herself. Her mind rebelled, telling her how stupid that was and that she needed to correct herself, ask him the right question. Instead, her lips stayed shut and she waited, breath held tightly, for an answer.
<Ayuuria> "As a friend, of course I do." he said sincerely looking at her in the eye. His mind raced, hoping he wouldn't have to answer the dreaded question. Well it did come up, he would just dodge the answer.
<Coffee-sama> Sarah: "I would never refuse to a good fight..." She took her sword out of its holder, and pointed to Lex with it. All of a sudden the sword was nailed on the ground "But usually I kick asses who deserve it." She closed her arms, and looked at him "The day when I punch your face is that I had the proofs about the killing. Or that you were trying to jerk with me." Sarah tilted her head, the same smile than back on the shop, but more relaxed.
<JackTheXIV> Lex Cohen "well..." he nodded to himself, "So then I must ask you, Do you still believe it's our fault? Have you tried finding out who this pirate was, or where he came from, Why there was a contract out for him?" Lex clasped his hands together, "you are no more intelligent than the day, i could have slain you but didn't." He turned to grab his chestplate.
<Comical1> Caitlin: she gave an exasperated sigh. "dratit Frees, you know that is not what I meant." She bit her lip, hard, and didn't ease up till she tasted the faintest tinge of copper. That jolted her from her spot, needing to do something, needing to resolve this frustration. She stepped directly in front of him. "This" she said, close to his face and searching his eyes with her own. "this is what I meant," she told him before drifting her eyes shut and pressing her lips to his again. She prayed this time he would respond.
<Ayuuria> He was caught slightly off guard from the kiss and didn't move for a moment. However he knew this couldn't go on and shut his eyes tightly. He grabbed her arms and pushed her away. He had regretful look on his face as his eyes shifted towards the floor. He sighed before he started "I'm sorry Cait... but my feelings for you are not like that. You're a good friend to me and I don't want to lose you. I... You deserve someone better than me... To tell you the truth, I've never thought about relationships before." he said with a sad smile. He felt absolutely guilty saying this but he had to tell the truth.
<Coffee-sama> Sarah: "You will all be guitly until you proof otherwise" She said, walking from left to right thoughtfully. "I've been looking for but... what can I say... I have my own bussiness to deal with at the moment...." Sarah stopped her walking to look at him "Yeah... and I wonder why you didn't... you could have gotten rid of a great pain in the arse." Questioning eyebrow of doom.
<Comical1> Caitlin: She let him push her away, half expecting it already. Then she took an extra step back. "Well then," she whispered, eyeing him tearfully, but keeping a steady voice. "As your friend, it'll be easier to receive the answer to this question. Are you my enemy, Frees, are YOU an assasin??" 0_0
<JackTheXIV> Bloodletter He quickly turned around, blades flew from his inner sleeve, into the dirt four feet from Sarah, he pointed his finger at her, "Don't you mistake my Generosity for Idiocy, You are alive because I'm trying my best NOT to ignite a Full on Bloodshed!" His voice was harsh and angry, He slipped more knives into his Right hand from his Vambrace, and Summoned a ball of black in his left, the ball was a swirl of sickness and was painful to look at, it made eyes sore, and nausious.
<Ayuuria> It finally came, the question he dreaded to answer. Acting as normal as he could he said with a friendly look "I'm just a cashier, nothing more." There was no way in hell he was going to reveal that he was with the assassins, not over his dead body. He didn't say anything more after that and only looked at her quietly.
<Comical1> Caitlin: She stared at him in silence for a moment, then began gently shaking her head no as a small streak of tears escaped her eyes. She pawed them away and sniffed. "I don't believe you," she whispered, then she said it louder, with more force as she stepped closer to him. "I don't believe you Frees," and she smacked him across the face - impulsively - then sniffled again. "And I don't want to be just your friend." After that she rushed out of the shop.
<Coffee-sama> Sarah: She gave a step away, not really surprised. "I never assumed anything, silly Teacher." She retrieved the sword from the ground and cleaned its dirty edge, the first contact with the summoning maker her feel ill, so she did her best to keep the eyes away from it "Such a bipolar man... just moments ago you said you didn't wanted to start a flame war, now you're BEGGING for it. Is that what you want, a fight?"
<Ayuuria> He only stood there as he was smacked across the face. It was only after a few minutes that he let out a sigh and rubbed the cheek that had been slapped. He had solemn look on his face as he could only say one thing "I'm sorry Cait..." With that he went back outside to the table where he left his skate cycle. He really didn't feel like dealing with anything else anymore. All he wanted to do was go home and be left alone. As he got on his skate cycle, he only glanced at Sarah and Bloodletter before pushing off and making his way back to his apartment.
<JackTheXIV> Lex Cohen He dropped the ball and as it left his hands it evaporated away, "I am far more experienced with murder than you, Take your sword and leave, this is a feat of strength, not a battle" he held his hand out dropping several small throwing knives from neath his Shirt sleeve. He turned and picked up his chestplate, strapping it around his chest and tying it up in the back. he adjust his collar and straightened his sleeves.
<Coffee-sama> Sarah: "More experienced with murder? Pffft" She chuckled bitterly "Assuming too fast..." And so she put her sword back to its place. Turning to the bakery, she noticed Cat wasn't there anymore. Free either... Something was wrong, she had to go look for her friend. "Catch you later, Teacher" And with a militar salute, she left.
<tooaya> Raven wandered in the streets, avoiding his Mr. guild leader person as usual. He was told that he should head to the training ground this morning, but screw that, he'd miss so much sleep if he did. Now that he had enough sleep, the first thing he wanted to do was to get out of the guild so he wasn't chased down by streams of lighting magic from his angry boss. He yawned, debating what he should do at the moment. It was too early for him to go to the entertainment guild, maybe he should find lunch first.
<Ayuuria> Rode swiftly down the street on his skate cycle, heading to no place in particular. Free loved to just ride around sometimes and it was also a good way to get intel at times since he could possibly catch wind of a conversation and eavesdrop. Free's guard was a little higher than usual due to the war going on and he wasn't about to get exposed.
<Coffee-sama> Sarah:Ended up taking a nap over a bench for no aparent reason. Her back was killing her, not like the cold bench helped a lot to it. She STRETCHED her body and walked around, carelessly. That much that she crashed againts a man on his skate cycle.
<Comical1> Caitlin: was out searching for Sarah. Last they spoke, they were both supposed to be tailing someone in order to sniff out information about the pirate assassination. So far, they hadn't regrouped. It was past due and she was anxious to see if her friend had discovered anything.
<Rufus-Vulpe> Red: counting up the money she had so far on her fingers, she nodded to herself. 'okay, jus need ta pickpocket some rich person and I should 'ave enough to get me some nice food' she thought to herself, nodding in confidence. Tugging up her hood once again, Red walked around lazily with her hands behind her head as she looked for a suitable target. It didn't take her too long before she spotted a snazzy looking bloke with a snazzy looking coat and snazzy looking boots. Obviously on the more wealthy side of the bandwagon, at least in comparison to other people roaming about anyway. Working up to a jog, Red purposely crashed into the male, her hand easily slipping into his pocket and pulling out what felt like a coin purse as she stumbled back, blinking stupidly. “sorry mistah! Didn' see ya there” she grinned, before jogging past and snickering.
<Ayuuria> Is taken by surprise when almost out of no where someone got out infront of him and crash right into them. "Owf!" he yelped somewhat as he hit the ground, losing his footing on his skate cycle. He didn't move for a few seconds but slowly got up, groaning a tad at the pain "Ow... Are you alri- Sarah?" he asked in mild surprise as he saw the pirate next to him.
<tooaya> Raven was looking at a random hot chick on the streets when someone bumped into him. He blinked and looked down, noticing the redhead. "Hey.." He didn't even get a word in when the female passed by him with a rush. "What was that all about.." He scratched his hair, instinctively reaching in his pockets to see if his money is safe. He raised a brow, realizing the empty purse in his pocket was gone. Hmph, not that surprising, but at least---his fingers came in contact with the coins that were left in his pocket and smiled. He wondered why thieves always went after the small bags that never contained anything, they should seriously try and be more creative.
<Coffee-sama> Sarah: "Owowow... Not again!" Groaned. It took her more than some seconds to reincorporate herself, to sit on the ground, rubbing her back with a hand. Wincing just as when Sienna punched her days ago. She looked at the man, after hearing her name "Oh... Free! We should stop meeting us like that haha" She said with a light chuckle.
<Comical1> Caitlin: She was speedwalking... not too fast that she looked angry, but just enough that it was clear she was anxious. Everything since the queens garden party had been a frazzled mess and she didn't know how to keep herself moving in one direction. It felt like she was splintering every which way trying to figure out the best course of action, and not actually getting a whole lot of anywhere. At last she spotted Sarah on a bench near the park, but her walking slowed as she also noticed Frees coming into contact with her. They hadn't spoken since that night... her palse raced. Was this a bad time?
<fireoz> Faye: Enjoying another rare day off, she had woken up at the break of dawn and set out for the marketplace to see what there was to be had for breakfast. Spying a bakery setting out fresh muffins, she strolled on over, following the scent of freshly-made bread, and entered the store.
<Rufus-Vulpe> Red: she paused a little away, looking into the purse and feeling her brow twitch. Empty, besides a few useless coppers that wouldn't help her any. Irritated, Red turned on her heel and backtracked to the spot she had last seen the male. She glanced around, unable to much among the large amounts of people with her small stature, so she ducked down, looking in between their feet. Glancing around for a few moments, she finally spotted a pair of white shiny boots. “there ya are” she grinned, jumping back upright and tracking after him. “ey mistah! You dropped somthin'!” she called, waving his man purse about in the air as she made her way back towards him. No way she was going to let this go down on her record as a failure, there was food on the line!
<tooaya> Raven breathed in, hearing Red return to him. Ah, here comes a thief who wouldn't take failure as an answer. He turned and glanced at the redhead lazily, noting his empty purse in her hand. "You can keep it." He gave the other a small and harmless smile, though to the other it probably looked as if he was mocking her. "consider it a charity, you can probably sell it for a few copper and buy...I don't know, a candybar or something."
<Ayuuria> "You should pay more attention to where you're going* he chuckled and got up. He dusted himself up before offering up his hand to the other. Inside though, he was uneasy as she was a pirate, an enemy. However she was also a friend and Free truly disliked losing them so all he could do was hope to god that his true identity wouldn't be discovered. "So what brings you out here?"
<Coffee-sama> Sarah: "Ahh... I could say the same, thanks" She laughed and stood up, taking the hand of her friend. The terrible backache hadn't dissappear yet, but she would get over it at some moment. She dusted herself. "Thanks" Said with a smirk "Oh. Coincidence... I was looking for some good place to have breakfast... then I fell asleep... That bench seemed more comfortable at the start" She laughed.
<Comical1> Caitlin: She breathed deeply in, then slowly out before correcting her posture (she didn't want to look timid) and approached the pair. She smiled confidently, even though her knees felt like jell-o, and she waved. "Hi Sarah, Hi Frees"
<fireoz> Faye: She walked back out of the store with a paper bag of baked goods in her arms. Feeling pleased with herself, she headed for the park - and found two familiar ladies there. She headed their way. It was dead easy to spot a military uniform and sometimes she was aware of how civilians always avoided bumping into her. Now, though, they paid her no heed and she was forced to weave through the crowd in order to avoid being bumped in the back.
<Rufus-Vulpe> Red: It took every muscle in her body to throw the purse at the irritating males fade, instead, she just blinked, now standing beside him and holding the small bag out to him. “eh, why would I need it mistah? I got plenty o' coin” she grinned, and although she wasn't exactly lieing, she wasn't exactly speaking the truth either. Her pockets were mainly filled with random junk rather than just money, since the girls sticky fingers basically grabbed anything they touched. Her stomach rumbled again however, and red felt her face flush. Wow, awkward timing or what?
<tooaya> Raven shrugged at Red's words. "Well, that's too bad, and here I was thinking I can actually be a good guy for once." He sighed in exaggeration and grabbed his empty purse, then took out the silver and gold coins that was scatted in his pcokets out, putting them into the purse right in front of the female's face. Hearing Red's stomach grumble he made a face and patted his own stomach. "Ahh that reminds me, I could use something to eat, all the naps I took in the morning sure worn me out!" He looked at Red, then grinned and stuffed the purse into his pants around the abdomen. "I guess I'll be on my way."
<Ayuuria> "Sounds like you had quite an adventure." he said light heartedly. He then heard a fimiliar voice call out to them and looked to see that it was none other than Cait. 'Oh boy...' he thought in his head as he wasn't quite sure how he should act around her now. He had been caught completely off guard by that kiss at the party. Giving an awkward smile, he answered back "Hey Cait, it's been a while."
<Coffee-sama> Sarah: "Aahh... I don't like sarcasm, you know..." She smiled at the man, raising an eyebrow, then a familiar voice sounded near to them. She turned (slowly) to see the newcomer. "Oh hey Cat! You're just in time. I was about to go... eat... breakfast." A fast light passed by her memory. She looked at Free, then back to Cat, then to Free. AWKWARD. She knew than, unless someone take her away, she'd end up in the middle of the awkward situation.
<Comical1> Caitlin: Her face turned redder the longer Sarah drew out her words. This wasn't going so well already. Even Sarah was feeling/acting awkward! She linked arms with her bestfriend, and with only a seconds hesitation, she linked her other arm with Frees (shooting for normalcy) and ushered them across the street to the nearest bakery. "That sounds like a splendid idea Sarah, and look there is the perfect spot for a light meal."
<fireoz> Faye: After some struggle through the early morning rush, she finally reached Sarah and Caitlin, and found Freestyle also there. "Oh my... Why did I think it was a good idea to come out this early in the day today?" she said as she walked up to them with her bag of baked buns. "...Breakfast, anyone?" she asked with a smile.
<Rufus-Vulpe> Red: okay, She had had enough. This guy was obviously a major bumrag, and It was Red's duty as a royal brat to make sure he knew that. “ya act like a phallus ta everyone ya meet? Or jus' da people who are doin' ya favours?” she scowled, crossing her arms and sticking her tongue out at him. Obviously, there was no point in playing nice any more, so Red would just be rude instead. Being rude was her speciality.
<tooaya> Raven raised a brow, giving Red an innocent expression. "No, just to people who---by chance, picked up my missing empty purse that had been resting in my pocket along with all my money." He grinned again, as if he was rather pleased to see the female's reaction. "How would you like to pick up my purse again, this time it's actually filled?" He patted his precious spot between his legs. "If you can pick it up again, I'll treat you for lunch, how's that---ah, with your hands please, though I guess I don't mind if you use your mouth either."
<Ayuuria> O-O;;; Not good. He wasn't expecting to be dragged someplace and part of him just really wanted to make a break for it. As he started to get dragged off, he quickly grabbed his skate cycle in his hand. He decided to allow himself to be taken so as not too look suspicious or rude. Making their way to the bakery he perked at the sound of someone calling out to them "Hmm? Ah, you're the one from before. Faye right?" he asked with a grinned.
<Coffee-sama> Sarah: "Oh! It is, riteeee-" Dragged. She never signed up to pass by those things. "Ooookay.... let's go then >>" She turned to see Faye near to them "Oh gog! I'm starving! What do you have over there!" Sarah left Cait alone with Free, to go drag a bun from the bag that Faye was carrying. When it was on her hand, she nommed it "Oh yeeeeesh! Delicious~ Thanks~ =u=" She patted Faye's shoulder. "So, Faye's your name, right?"
<Comical1> Caitlin: as soon as Sarah escaped her arm, she was left linked with Frees, which made her cheeks burn even brighter red than before. "Guess breakfast is served," she commented quietly to the side, indicating what Faye was offering the trio, and she released Frees arm before he could release hers to join the girls at an outdoor table (complete with deck-furniture-table-umbrella). She secretly hoped Free's would join, just so she could figure out how he felt, but almost just as strongly she wished he wouldn't so she could stop feeling so faint
<fireoz> Faye: "Mm... Yes," she said to Sarah, still smiling. "Um... I'm afraid I've forgotten yours.... Again...." she held the bag up for Caitlin.
<Rufus-Vulpe> Red: The female gave her own innocent shrug. “It's hardly me fault yer dropped it” she stated, waving a hand around in a 'no no' fashion, but her eyes lit up with challenge, not perturbed by the males bluntness all too much. “can't say i'm inta old men, howeva I ain't one ta turn down a free lunch either” she ginned, cracking her neck. Then she reached over, pulled him forward by his coat, kneed him in the crouch then proceeded to stick her hand down his pants and pull out the coin purse with a surprising amount of quickness and accuracy; The whole thing couldn't have been any longer than a couple of seconds. Afterwards, the female bounced back a little, throwing the purse up and catching it in her other hand as she wiped the one that had been down his trousers against her pants. “how was that? Or was It over too quick for ya?” she grinned, adding her own pervy comment as she now dangled the purse on one finger,watching him with amusement. Red had done far worse things than sticking her hand down a persons pants before, but needless to say, the ordeal had gathered the attention of a few passers by.
<fireoz> Faye: *totally ignoring dung people are doing because she's not at work*]
<JackTheXIV> Bloodletter stood in the crowd watching his fellow guildmate, Staying out of sight, out of mind, He held his Sheathed knife in one hand, She's drawing too much attention he sunk closer to the edge of the crowd, trying to grab her attention.
<tooaya> Raven grunted at the sudden blow to his crouch, immediately feeling the tears swirling up in his eyes due to the pain. "You..."He hissed, holding his precious spot by a hand and glared at the redhead before snatching up the female by the neck with the other, pulling her over to his face. Despite how much he was hurting he smiled, this girl was interesting, and suddenly his day just gotten better. Maybe it wasn't a bad idea to be out wandering on the streets this early after all. "Not bad, I liked that." His hold on the female's neck got even tighter as he leaned in, their noses almost touching. The hand that had been protecting his crotch moved up and yanked the purse back, though the force caused the fabric to tear, dropping the contents to the ground. While this was happening, Raven leaned in and kissed the female on the lips, his teeth grazing against Red's tongue briefly before he pulled away. He released the female when he was done, making a face at the coins scattered on the ground. "That was a waste. But no matter. Come, I'll keep my word."
<Ayuuria> He wasn't quite sure what to do at first. He had already had breakfast and he wasn't really hungry but then a thought hit him. Perhaps he could try to get some intel out of them and having a purpose like that in mind help ease his mind from the awkwardnes. "So how is everyone?" he said trying to make the atmosphere a little more casual as he sat down at the table.
<Coffee-sama> Sarah: "Oh well! After so long I finally catch your name! What do you like better? Fy? Fai? Fe?" She laughed. "Ah, the name is Sarah, try to don't forget it this time~" She winked, and nommed again the bread. Was in that moment that she realiced. She had left both friends alone. Awkward. To be honest, she usually prefered to evade those situations. "Hm-bhmmmh" Mumbled, with food still on the mouth "Ahaha! How am I? Good question. Still hungry, for sure."
<Comical1> Caitlin: Saw a moments opportunity and snatched it, "If you all will wait a moment, I'll go in and grab a few more scones," she proffered without waiting for a reply. Going into the bakery would give her a moment to breathe, and think, and grab breakfast - shewasawefullyhungryafterall.
<fireoz> Faye: "Ah, mm... I'm happy for a day off... I only get two a month, it seems..." she answered vaguely, nibbling on her own scone. As if remembering, she said to Sarah, "Oh, dear. I'm so sorry for forgetting your name. Sarah. I'll remember it from now on, I promise! And you..." she turned to Free, "You're.... Um..." a frown formed on her features as she failed to recall the boy's name.
<Rufus-Vulpe> Red: One minute she was trying to get this guys grip off her throat, the next thing she knew, the old geezer was smooching her! It happened rather quickly, or maybe it didn't, and she just wasn't expecting it, but one thing was for sure, Red had absolutely NO IDEA what to do now. Take it like a champ or swear and yell a lot? “DA frak YOU PEDOPHILE!” she yelled, one hand going to her throat while the other raked itself across her tongue in order to make the nasty taste go away. “da frak are you doing you psycho? What kinda crazy person likes being kicked in the nads?” she ranted to herself, tongue now just sticking out to show her disgust. After a few moments she got back in control of herself, staring at the coins on the floor. Why? Why did she always have the misfortune of coming across the crazy ones? “whadda waste, I'm not sure that was worth it” she grumbled, crouching down and picking up a few coins. “if I come, yer promise not to stick yer tongue back in me mouth?” she asked, only considering it because her stomach once again growled loudly, although weather or not that was now because she felt rather ill was yet to be decided
<JackTheXIV> Bloodletter Lex smiled under his mask, It was her own drat fault, Flaunting her skill like that, For every action there is a consequence, But who would have seen that coming, He stared at the man, trying to figure out who this guy was, this masochistic Womanizer...
<tooaya> Raven blinked at the female's sudden outburst. "Woah there. Pedophile?" He squinted, eyes pointedly staring at Red's chest. "You are quite developed for a..child. What did your mother feed you?" He put his heads up in an effort to calm Red down, but obviously not putting enough of an effort to show that he cared. "I said I liked your courage, not the fact that I might not able to produceany offsprings in the future--although yeah, that does sound good." He shrugged as the girl started picking up the coins. "Hey, you were the one who came onto me first." He turned around, not caring if the girl's following, if she decided to run away, then she can use his money to buy herself lunch, which was what he promised, anyway. "It depends on how well you are going to behave. You earned a kiss by kicking a guy in the balls, I say you got the better part of the deal."
<Ayuuria> He chuckled as Faye tried to remember his name "The name's Freestyle but I go by Free" he grinned widely. It seemed that his question had gone unnoticed but he didn't mind. He was beginning to return to his usual self again.
<Coffee-sama> Sarah: "Mhm, don't worry about my, my dear" She finished nomming her bread. The only time she had really cared about Faye forgetting her name was the time on the vineyard, to be honest. And even then, she didn't know why that happened. "So! I'm hoping you guys aren't just planning to stay here all day, right? We need to go out and do something interesting! It's a beautiful day. And I bet you don't want to be her to talk about feelings Right, Free?" Nudge nudge.
<Comical1> Caitlin: Still in the bakery, buying scones, and glancing back periodically out the window to look at her companions. It was always refreshing to see Faye, but it also made her itch with curiosity to see if Sarah had garnered any info from her about the incident. Then, those thoughts drifted apart as she peered at Frees. Her heart thrummed a bit, though she clamped down on it. No way was she going to allow herself to think foolishly enough to fall for a side of Frees he can't even stand being. The person in that puppy dog costume at the ball was NOT the person she was looking at through the window. She looked again. And sighed... then groaned, this wasn't going to help. She took another quick look at him - seeing a man that looked the same as her dashing date in the moonlight, but it was morning now - and he was not that man. They needed some kind of diversion. SHE needed some kind of diversion, and she needed it soon.
<fireoz> Faye: "Oh~ An activity together would be wonderful! But... What's this about feelings...?" she asked, looking politely curious as she held her half-eaten scone in one hand and tilted her head.
<Rufus-Vulpe> Red: “I'm not ta a child” she glared irritated, hands now moving protectively around her chest. “i jus' dun like being lip smacked by an old fart” nose scrunching up, she left the majority of lesser coins on the floor before hopping up and following after the weird male. For one thing, he still owed her lunch, the coin was just a bonus in her mind. For another thing, although Red felt completely violated, she wouldn't deny the male was interesting.... in a creepy, old guy peedo kind of way. “an' I didn't come onta ya either. You mada challenge and I accepted it, and won. If I knew yer were gunna stick yer greasy mitts on me, I wouldn't 'ave bothered” she stated, now walking beside him and making over exaggerated hand gestures while she complained. “but I didn't go through all that ta not get anything in return. Yer owe me lunch!” she finally grinned, eyes lightly up at the thought of food. She was completely unawares of the eyes watching her, despite her being a so called assassin.
<Ayuuria> "Hmmm... ah ha ha" he gave an awkward chuckle. He really didn't want to think about it. "It's nothing" he said quickly trying to dodge the subject.
<JackTheXIV> Bloodletter His eyes Darted across the crowd before he fled from the scene, So long as there weren't any pirates, She would probably be safe, He leapt into an alleyway stripping off his Leather Jacket and forcing it into a canvas bag, He pulled the Strips of leather armor from his leggings and hid the canvas bag under some trash, to give it that authentic Homeless smell. He again walked into the alleyway no longer dressed as Bloodletter but instead Himself, Lex Cohen.
<tooaya> Raven waved his hand without turning. "For your information, I'm not even 30. Your definition of old sounds very broad." He glanced back to Red with a smirk. "Maybe you should ask first to see if there're other conditions before you accept a challenge. I never said I wasn't allowed to kiss you, similarly, I never said you couldn't knee me in the crotch, so we are even." His eyes followed Red as she walked up beside him and scratched his hair. "Yes yes, I get that. My loss, my loss." Not that he mind it, Red had provided some good entertainment, and a kiss. He looked to the girl and reached a hand out to ruffle her hair. Hey, he's an old fart, might as well act like one.
<Remanoir> Mer: The crisp morning air promise a day of sunlight as Mer travels down the narrow street. She carries with her two big bags of flour, each half her size, as she makes her way around the morning market and towards the local bakery. Ever since the incident involving the pirates Mer has taken extra caution with her appearance. Instead of her traditional blood red clothes, she traded it for a pair of normal brownish yellow khaki and an oversize plain earth green sleeveless vest. Her chest is still of course bounded with bandage, but the tattoo on her stomach is now covered up. In fact, the one on her shoulder blade is also covered with a leather shoulder pad that straps around her waist. Her black hair is messy, unkempt, and her bangs covers up her red eyes. In fact, she just looked like a normal black hair tan delivery girl who lives in the slums. Rounding the corner to the bakery, she spots one very familiar trouble maker in the company of a different girl. At this Mer raise an eyebrow, since when did Free become such a playboy? Regardless, it wasn't any of her business and she does have a delivery to make. Walking pass the two, she carefully enter the bakery, making sure that the bags of flour makes it in the room with out any tear or scratches.
<Yelsah> Sienna Had spent the whole day working on fixing the busted pocket watches she’d gotten from Red before. They’d turned out nice, probably nicer then they’d been originally. She’d sold half of them already and had decided to try and locate the young girl. She’d tried going down the street she’d met her at and the surrounding area. But alas, neither her or her flamingo had managed to find her. Giving up she was on her way home when Mingo kindly let her know he was hungry by head butting her, again. “Ah bird, stop doing that. My face isn’t made of bone!” She admonished. As she was rubbing her face she glanced up to see a good deal of red. Well what a surprise! There she was. Paying no heed to her companion she made her way to the girl with a smile and a wave while her pink companion saluted her with a flourish. Only once she was standing near them did she recognize the voice of the man. “Fan Thief!” She stated in surprise and immediately covered her mouth. Crap…
<Coffee-sama> Sarah: Laughed. This all was amusing to her "There's so many irons on the fire, Fy. It's all I can say UvU" She stood up, her stomach groaled loudly. She gasped. "drat! I'm still hungry and Cat hasn't came back yet. I'll go check for her. Wait here, sweeties~" And so she walked, heading to the bakery.
<Comical1> Caitlin: Had just finished paying for the half dozen scones she'd ordered for their table when the door chimed and she turned to spot two figures directly in front of the door.... the first, was Sarah, the second... "Mer!" she growled under her breath. Then she checked her attitude. This was stupid. It wasn't like there was anything between her and Frees so why was she acting so protective over thier 'relationship'? Instead she shook her head and scampered over to Sarah, handing her a scone and saying "here, I got six total, are the other two still hungry?"
<fireoz> Faye: "Hmm..." She looked perplexed at Free's nervousness, but didn't press the matter further. Instead, she asked him, "So~ What do you want to do today~?"
<Rufus-Vulpe> Red: “ey, yer older then me, so there for yer old” she nodded to herself, as if her logic was sound, to her it was anyway. Placing her hands behind her head, she continued walking thinking over the males words. She couldn't think of a reasonable response, because he was right. The odd male didn't state rules. “fine fine, but we're not even till ya get me some grubb” she muttered, before yelping as the man ruffled her hair. She made a small whining noise, trying to flatten the already messy strands down, but not really bothering with outwardly complaining. Her hair was already a mess after all. Her attention didn't change until she saw a flash of brown and pink, looking up with her hands still pressed against her hair. “eh, miss sienna?” she asked, before turning her head towards the male beside her. “fan thief?” Red snickered behind her hand, an eyebrow cocked in questioning.
<JackTheXIV> Lex Cohen He pulled his hood up and turned the corner around he bakery, the smell of fresh baked goods was always a great one. His smile faded though, as he stared across the way, he spotted Freestyle and Faye, he also noticed two pirates , he continued walking as though nothing was wrong, and quickly jumped into a circle of scholars who seemed to be discussing the War, he stood with them, being inconspicuous.
<tooaya> Raven laughed at Red's logic. The girl said she wasn't a child, but her actions...he shook his head, at least she had an attractive body, if only she was more clean. "You don't have to remind me again of my awesome failure." He pouted intentionally before his ears twitched at the word fan thief. Turning, he eyed Sienna, though it took him a moment to recall who she was. The flamingo easily triggered his memory though, it made Raven smile. Instead of greeting the lady he called out a "Why good day, Mr. Flamingo." and pressed a hand against Red's head, forcing her questioning look away.
<Ayuuria> He watched as Sarah went inside to go after Cait and it was at the moment he caught sight of a fimilar face. 'Mer!... Oh boy.' he thought in his head as the two girls were going to come face to face again. 'Mer better not blame this one on me this time..' he thought in his head with a sigh. He turned back to Faye "I don't really have anything planned today so I don't really have a preference as to what to do." he said casually.
<Coffee-sama> Sarah: She stopped in front of the door. For a moment she tought she had spotten a familiar face. She raised an eyebrow. Was it The teacher?. "Pffft- I know you're around" She said it, not really knowing if her was hearing or not, and entered to the bakery. "Hey Cat.. You didn't returned so I came here to see if everything was alright..." A tanned girl entered to the bakery, her face seemed familiar. And the expression the face of her friend confirmed that the were going to be problems...
<Yelsah> Mingo cast a calculating look in Raven’s direction. Well, someone had manners. He dipped his head politely in his direction. How nice, he was the one in charge here after all since the woman below him was simply his nest. Sienna Lowered her hand sheepishly after a moment which was easy to do since he was talking to the bird. Their fist conversation had been amusing so she was able to calm down more or less. “Sorry… about the fan thief… thing.” She offered shyly. She glanced back over to Red and smiled excitedly. “Here Red” She said eagerly as she held out a nice amount of money to the girl. “Those pocket watches brought in some money. Here’s what I’ve got so far. I’ll sell the rest later, okay.” She said reassuringly.
<Comical1> Caitlin: blinked, and pursed her lips together as she noticed Sarah sizing Mer up. In a low voice she hissed "know her? what guild does she belong to? she know's frees, do you think they work together? what does Frees do? he never told me, I don't know if..." she had to stop and take a breath.
<Rufus-Vulpe> Red: slapping the males hand away, she glanced back to the black woman curiously, then her eyes dipped down to stare at the money greedily. She didn't say anything for a moment, her hands twitching as she went to grab the money, but she stopped short. Eye brow twitching as she had an internal debate with herself about weather or not she should take the money, Red eventually dropped her hand, turning her head away stubbornly and crossing her arms. “thanks, but I dunn need it. Besides, I got the old geezer to pay for stuff” she grinned cheekily, thumbing to the male beside her. “so keep da coin. I can always steeeeeelllllbbborrow some more off o' some one else”
<Remanoir> Mer: Of course the two gasp of her name completely blew her cover. She did not expecting to meet Caitlin here so her gasp was predicted however Free on the other hand.... Mer signs internally, one of these days she needs to kick some sense into Free. Even if he isn't on the job doesn't mean he can run his mouth off all over the place. But first thing first, she walked up to the shopkeeper and placed the two bag of flour on the counter. "Here you all's order sir. Thanks for doin' business with us." She calls to the shopkeeper with a slight country accent. After the exchange, Mer walked back outside, just fast enough to catch Caitlin's feverish pelt of questions that she is raining on another unknown girl. Rolling her eyes, she sneaked up behind Caithlin, " One, my guild is really none of your business young lady. Two, I work with him in that toy shop, and three, Free is a toy seller. Any other question?" All of this is commented with an disinterested tone clearly marked that Mer was not really amused by Caitlin's nosy questions.
<fireoz> "Mm.. Well!" She beamed at him. "We can ask the others what they'd like to do~ I'm sure it will be fun." She leaned her elbow on the table and put her chin in her hand. "I've never had a day out with friends before... I don't think hanging out with my squadmates counts."
<tooaya> Raven nodded to Sienna seeing the female actually apologized. He flung his arm backwards in a circular motion dramatically before it returned to Red's head, stubbornly resting on there. He gave the flamingo a dazzling smile before raising a brow at the money and Red's reaction. "You know, I said I'd treat you lunch, but I never said I'd donate you the coins." He ruffled on Red's hair with greater force this time. "You should take the money that you actually earned---and give back the money that doesn't belong to you."
<JackTheXIV> Lex Cohen started really getting into his conversation with the Scholars... He kept his eye on Free though, Sarah had said something earlier directed at him, he kept his knife ready to protect his friend if need be.
<Yelsah> Mingo eyed Raven when he smiled. He didn’t trust that kind of behavior and puffed up slightly… just in case. >_> Sienna Looked a little confused but smiled at Raven’s logic. “Stealing’s no good if you have money coming in.” She added with a smile and held the money out again.
<Ayuuria> "Haha, don't get along do you?" he said although part of him was a little nervous about what was going on inside but didn't show it.
<Rufus-Vulpe> Red: The small female frowned, feeling her head sink down as the male stubbonly rested his hand on her head, growling a little as the drat male ruffled her already messy hair again, making it even worse. “If you wanna to be literal, I didn't exactly earn dat money clean neither. If I did everythin' by da books i'd be dead already” she shrugged, before slapping the males hand again. “n' geddoff! Or i'll bit you!” she warned, ducking out from under the hunters grip and around closer to Sienna. “keep da coin lady, yer need it more than me” she muttered, looking off towards the crowds with a pale blush. She wasn't used to being this humble.
<tooaya> Raven let his hand jump away this time, heeding Red's warning. "You are welcome to bite me on the lips anytime missy." He added in a sing-song voice before staring at his money in Red's possession. "Hey, I need my coins more than you do too!" You know, for all the entertainers at the enterainment guild! Of course he swallowed that part back. Instead he pushed the redhead toward sienna. "Take the money from the willing, it'll make you look better."
<Coffee-sama> Sarah: "Ah... what?" She looked confused at her friend. What was she talking about? That girl? Something to do with Free? "Nooo I don't know her and I don't think that she--- " The mentioned girl passed in front of them in that moment, Sarah frowned "Don't talk like that to my friend, you little jerk" Her voice was calm while saying so.
<Yelsah> Mingo watched as Raven continued to harass poor Red and decided, as the only ‘real’ male in the group to mediate on their behalf. This was done by viciously head butting him when he was shoving the poor girl forward. Sienna Was still in agreement that the girl take the money so she didn’t say anything else. But she was a little perturbed with the man’s actions. She of course said nothing but her pet’s timely head whack elicited a squeak from her. “Ah no, Mingo… don’t do that…” She muttered since the damage was done.
<Comical1> Caitlin: her Face was changing colors so fast she doubted anyone else could see it but she could feel it; from ashen grey at the shock of Mer pipping up over her shoulder, to blazen red with anger and embarassment at being caught gossiping, to downright glowing with adrenaline. Sarah called Mer out before Cait could, but her hand was already on her sword. It might have been a tough call one on one, but with two against one, she knew they'd have the upper hand. "Yeah, just one more question," She smiled wickedly, widening her stance the way she always did before engaging in swordplay, "what ambiguous safe house would you like to be delivered to after clashing with either of us? And to think, with that tone of voice you'd believe there was a molecule of common sense in that head of yours," she smirked.
<Rufus-Vulpe> Red: stumbling slightly she growled, “keep yer nasty lips to yerself!” she righted herself, then stubbornly crossed her arms. “and i said I ain't takin' it, so I ain't takin' it!” she stated, tone firm showing she wasn't going to change her mind, her will as immovable as a giant slab of rock. “besides, if yer were so desperate to keep yer coin, yer shouldn' 'ave made dat bet” she pointed to him, before staring blankly as the flamingo headbutted him. It took her a couple of seconds before “BHA HAHAHAHA” she cracked out into laughter, holding her sides. Maybe it wasn't that funny, but it was amusing to watch the arrogant man (who she still didn't know the name of) being attacked by a flamingo.
<tooaya> Raven's smile remained on his face, though it was a much less friendlier one than before. The hand that rested on Red's head lifted to grab the pink bird by the beak. "I think Mr. Flamingo's looking for a duel." He chuckled and started twisting the bird's neck, making a knot around its legs before stuffing the bird in his arm. With that he turned around and waved to the two females as he stepped away. "I changed my mind, I think I'll be having barbequed flamingo for lunch. Wonder how that tastes."
<Remanoir> Mer "Fire is a dangerous element, full of energy and spark, but alas it lives only in a flicker of a moment, dies when it's fuel runs dry." Mer simply states as her eyes looks to Caitlin then to Sarah, her tone even and calm, their threats of violence does not faze the short black haired woman. "I am part of the earth, if where I stand is where I die then I'll be happy if my body is left on the ground. After all, I am but an animal. The earth is my home." Mer's eyes return to Caitlin, "Answer me this young lady. Why go so far for a 'jerk' like me? Isn't it better to be above then to be equal?" Her body does not respond to the tension in the air instead is relaxed as if she is merely conversing with her neighbors about the weather.
<Yelsah> Mingo was not expecting to be assaulted in a such a manner and barely figured out what was going on when he was whisked away from his nest. Sienna Had been getting ready to apologize and offer him the money she had for the birds behavior. He’d been doing so well too. But before she cold react he’d cruelly tied the bird into a knot and turned to leave talking about cooking… The next thing she knew she’d launched her small body at his retreating form and right at his legs. No one hurt her friends bird or otherwise!
<JackTheXIV> Lex Cohen he slipped away from the scholars, he walked slowly into Mer's View, as he caught her attention he simply Shook his head as if to say, Don't fight. when he noticed one of them turn their head he slid into the doorway of a building, remaining out of sight. from all, except Faye who he believed had caught a glimpse of him.
<fireoz> Faye: "Mm, we do, but..." she trails off, leaving her thoughts unspoken. She stared into space past Free's shoulder - though actually, she thought she had caught a glimpse of someone else who was familiar.
<Ayuuria> "Hmm" he looked back to see why Faye had stopped talking and his eyes widened in surprise at what was going on. He instantly shot up from his chair and bolted inside, trying to get between "Woah Woah Woah! What's going on?!" he yelled, putting his arms out as though to try to distance them.
<Coffee-sama> Sarah: Wasn't feeling any fear, just tilted her head with the short woman speaking. A questioning eyebrow raised on her face. "Big words to a woman of your height, don't you think? And it seems like your fuel it's about to runs dry, little woman. So motionless in such a situation...Nobody keeps so estoic in a situation like this.... unless you were...." Sarah opened her eyes wide, and put a hand over her sword, ready just in case her assumptions were right.
<tooaya> Raven lifted his leg away feeling Sienna lounge at her and lifted the bird up in reflex. He looked at the dark female with an amused expression before turning to Red, keeping his hold on the bird strong as the other tried to yank it away from him. "Careful, you don't want to actually kill Mr. Flamingo." With that he twirled around, setting the jumbled bird on his shoulder, one hand to keep it stable. "I do have a phallus, and you are this close to touching it mind you." He pronouced his words loud and clear before smiling to Red. "Since you are feeling so heroic all of a sudden, I might as well play the bad guy here." He nibbled on the bird's feather with his finger and tipped his chin to Sienna. "How about you return those coins to me and accept the coins from Mrs Flamingo, then I'll set the bird free, and I treat both of you for lunch?" He turned back to Red expectantly. "It's up to you, or if you can make the bird say 'I'm sorry oh great Ravenblaire for hurting your preciously handsome head, I shall never do it again or I'll be plucking my pretty pink feathers out'?"
<Comical1> Caitlin: so many things registered at once. First: it felt good to start a fight, all that frustration needed an outlet somewhere. Second: What Sarah was implicating cut strait to the core, and Third: as Frees conveniently put himself between them, she realized that if it was true for Mer, then it was probably true for him too. Her face went pale, as her brows knitted together and her expression turned grave. "Everybody else, OUT, this instance-" she shouted to the other patrons, while keeping her eyes on the potential enemies. "Even you dough boy," she said to the worker behind the counter.
<Yelsah> Mingo did not appreciate this treatment. And he certainly would not repeat that ridiculous line of hog wallop. Not like he could. >_> Sienna Hit the ground rolling and landed on her shoulder funny. What had made her think that was even going to work? Desperate times called for really stupid ideas apparently. She pulled herself off the ground and eyed Raven with an unamused stare before looking to Red with a patient expression and held the money out to her again.
<Remanoir> Mer: Alas, panic, sheer bloody panic amongst various different people as the crowd instead of running away, gather around the four eager to watch a good fight. Mer signed, looking at the eager faces around them, ignoring Free for a moment before calling out with a sort of indifferent voice, "Impeccable timing you have there Free." The tan woman return her gaze to the back of Free's head as she kept her stance of non-aggression and neutrality. She neither denies nor accept Sarah's implication preferring to let the two girls hang out in the grey area.
<Rufus-Vulpe> Red: oh boy, this guy was playing with fire, and it was obvious that the small female was anything but willing to agree to his terms. It wasn't even a matter of being humble any more, It was down to just a pure battle of wills. Her against this arrogant jerk, and Red wasn't willing to just give either. “If yer dun hand over the bird, yer wont have a phallus for much longer” she threatened half peevishly, pointedly ignoring sienna and the money. drat it she wouldn't be manipulated into doing something she said she wouldn't. Thinking on her feet, Red let her mouth open and blurted the first thing she could think of. “how about a bet?”
<tooaya> Raven's grin got wider hearing Red's comment. "I'd like to see you try missy. But you should be prepared to be chewed on your lips again if that happened---oh I guess it wouldn't be just the lips on your mouth either." He waved his free hand dismissively at Red's challange. "I'm not into bets." Sighing again he pouted, "I guess I'll just have to play the bad guy a while longer, sorry Mrs. Flamingo." He patted the pink bird on his shoulder playfully and laughed, "Why don't we go on a date Mr. Flamingo? I'll show you the wonders of fire."
<JackTheXIV> Lex Cohen He took a deep breathe and stepped into the Shop, he made sure his shoes made loud noise as they stomped on wooden floors, "So Sarah, This is how you spend your mornings? Much like how you spend your evenings? Trying to pick a fight?" he stood about ten feet away, he had no sword, and his hands were at his sides, "You Pirates, Always resorting to Violence.... You are so Silly" He looked over to free, "Put Your arms down freestyle, You look like a Monkey,"
<fireoz> Faye: *continues staring off into space after Free leaves but gets called by a soldier and has to go take an emergency work shift*
<Yelsah> The pink bird knew all to well what fire was and had absolutely no desire to meet it in any way, shape or form. He wiggled about in protests but his ensnared situation didn’t allow much else. Sienna Frowned when he continued to threaten the bird. She had a feeling he didn’t mean it, but that didn’t make it any better in the end. And there’s was always the chance that he really did mean to kill him. “Wait.” She said in a demanding voice. “She’s not going to give in, she’s too prideful for that. If you want or need something done in return I’ll do it. It’s no fair punishing Mingo or Red for my inability to control a flamingo.” She offered staring him dead in the eyes. Fake threat or not, this kind of thing was no fun when something living was on the line.
<Ayuuria> He gave Mer a weird look before turning his attention tback to the girls "Calm down Cait! What's this all about?" he said. His heart was racing, 'They may have just figured out who we really are..' he thought and tried hard not to turn his attention to Mer since it would only raise more suspicion. 'We've stood out too much... We've got to retreat for now' he thought in his head. At that moment he heard Bloodletter come in and was just stunned by his comment 'Are you trying blow our "covers"?!' he thought and he wanted to shout that but then that would really just blow everything so he held back. He didn't say anything and kept his arms up in some vein attempt to decrease suspicion.

He didn't say anything and kept his arms up in some vein attempt to decrease suspicion.
<Rufus-Vulpe> Red: “enough with the peedo lines gramps! Do yer act like a dollymop with every female yer meet!” she yelled in frustration, throwing her arms up in annoyance. She was running out of Idea's, and the male's constant blunt comments were starting to get to her. All she wanted was some food, and instead she gets all this mess. Why her? What did god have against her to condemn her with such bad luck? Why didn't she just go pickpocket some other rich special? Her inner rant stopped however and she looked at Sienna in mild shock. She wasn't really expecting such an outburst from what she gathered the females mild personality. She didn't say anything more though, if Sienna could get the bird out of this mess without Red's pride being damaged, she'd let the female do so.
<Coffee-sama> Sarah: "Only us, teacher?" She turned to stare at him with a mischievous smile on hes face, then her gaze went to Free "Security, Free. This is a WAR, remember? And if my suspicious are right... I don't want to be taken by surprise. Happened me before..." Her gaze went back to Lex, remembering their encounter days ago. "Also, teacher, what can I say? Troubles always look for me. The only thing than erase the boredom..."
<Comical1> Caits eyes dodged back and forth between the others talking. What was Sarah talking about and why didn't she already know about it??? She eyed the man 'teacher' and realized she vaguely recognized him. "Letter?" she asked, confused. Her fingers tightened on her sword. Possibilities swam in her head, and when her eyes settled on Frees again, a weird sense of betrayal smothered her. Perhaps it was misplaced, but the feelings were too strong to think through and at that moment, she pulled out her sword and held it in front of her, while placing a foot in front of Sarah in case her friend hesitated to draw. "I don't trust any of you to be who you say you are, cause you're not are you, Teacher?" She slurred sarcastically with her eyebrows raised. "and what about you Frees? Is that your real name?"
<tooaya> Raven stared at Sienna with an unamused expression, then sighed again. He set the flamingo back onto the dark female's head, not bothering to untangle the bird's neck. "You are really making me sound like the bad guy." Nevertheless, he smiled, it was a helpless but gentle smile. He really can't guard himself against idiotic people like Sienna who put herself in front of everyone else, whether or not they appreciated her efforts. He glanced to Red, ignoring what the other's protests and flicked a finger against the girl's forehead. "Better thank your dear friend--and stay away from my purse." He warned Red, the smirk quickly returning to his face, but not for long, for he turned around once again, this time walking off without turning back.
<Yelsah> Sienna Stared at Raven in surprise when he gave her back the bird. She didn’t say anything as he walked off and finally turned back to Red. “Er….. I didn’t think that would actually work.” She admitted with a small smile. Heh, apparently he was a nice guy deep down after all, though she still thought he was a little stuck on himself. "I can still buy you lunch if you'd like." It was kinda her fault she'd missed out on it anyway. She unraveled her feathered friend who upon being released wrapped himself around her neck tightly. He wasn’t going to be tugged off anytime soon, not without a fight. >_>
<Remanoir> Mer: "Why are you asking if you don't trust us then?" Mer calls out passively, " Or are you trying to reassure yourself that your fluffy white dream isn't spiraling out into a mess?" Mer looks towards Lex and give a nod of acknowledgement before turning her attention back to the two pirates. Mer wonders if she can just walk away, this whole issue is getting out of hand. Obviously their guild has not do the killing. She checked, twice chasing down details and job orders. Obviously someone is trying to draw the two guild into a war, and it's working.
<JackTheXIV> Lex Cohen Raising His empty hands he eyed the bakery, "Caitlyn? I didn't recognize you with hatred all over your being, and Sarah, Please..." He shook his head, as he stepped back, "Get out of here you" he shouted at the crowd, who started shuffling to the door behind him, he turned back to the pirates, "I'm going to leave now, if You truly wish to fight me, Fight me and only me, out here..." he backed away from the wooden tables and blended into the crowd as they left.
<Ayuuria> At this point, Free knew things had gotten out of hand and slowly put his arms out. 'Well... I guess our "cover" is just about blown' he thought with solemn look on his face. He truly did not wish to fight these two but now it seemed imminent. He turned to Mer and gave her the "Pull back for now" look. He then shook his head and sighed.
<Coffee-sama> Sarah: The Blue Shine Was almost out of its holder. Her arms were tensed, that mischievous smile, so common on her, brighter. A fight! That's what she really wanted! To kill that boredom that was over her in that moment. But wait... Could it be what they were expecting? Make the pirates to look like bastards while the assassins passed clean by all that. She let out a deep breath and made a gesture to Cait to calm down. "Wait, Cait... We have no proofs about anything, okay? If you want to fix any bussiness with this... fine lady, keep the weapons out ot if, please." Her body was relaxed now, and made her way to the exit, a little bit of revenge awaited for her outside. "Free... can you take care of Cait?" And so she left, completelly oblivious about Free.
<Comical1> Caitlin: "Buh-what?!" she almost choked. Let the assassins go for now: fine, but tell Free's to take care of Cait after this deception?? really? But then again, its not like he knew she had been a pirate either. Or did he? did Sarah ever tell him? was he using their friendship as a method of insight? She sheathed the sword, though her hand never left the hilt, and she tilted her chin higher, refusing to speak to Mer again, and staring at Frees like she was waiting for an explaination.
<Remanoir> Mer: "Yes Free, do comfort the young lady. If anything it'll be a learning experience." Seeing how the shop has quickly emptied, Mer walked pass the two and exit the building. The door of the shop swished closed behind her, the chime of the doorbell linger bitterly in the now silence room.
<JackTheXIV> Bloodletter His hood covered his face, His Chestplate leaned against a decorative stone, He closed his eyes and took a deep inhale, he fiddled with his leather gloves and vambraces, opening and closing his hand, wiggling his wrist. deep down he hoped she wouldn't come.
<Ayuuria> He had an apologetic look on his face "Sorry for all this ruckus Cait. Did Mer do something?" he asked as though it were some last ditch effort to cover his identity.
<Coffee-sama> Sarah: "You weren't expecting me to go after you, huh?" She walked forward, a hand on her hip and the other one over the handle of her sword. However, her body wasn't tensed, and her expression was relaxed, as if her intentions weren't to fight.
<Comical1> Caitlin: She was alone with Frees in the bakery now. He looked so repentant that it was really difficult for her to hold onto her anger. She wished he'd hug her, and say none of it was what it looked like, but that was more foolish than kissing the enemy in the first place. "I want answers, Frees," she spoke flatly, trying to keep any emotion out of her voice. It was important they figured out what "this" was between them now, so that she could resist agonizing over it later. Especially if the war dictated that one of them would end up needing to kill the other. I mean, an assassin, for crying out loud! she thought in disbelief.
<JackTheXIV> Lex Cohen "I didn't Want you to come after me," He stared at her for a moment. "So does this mean we have to start Killing each other?" he held his hands loosley at his sides.
<Ayuuria> "What sort of answers?" he asked with a hesitant look on his face.
<Comical1> Caitlin: The most important question to ask is whether or not Sarah had been right in deducing their affiliation with the assassins. Are you one of them? she meant to ask, but instead she ended up saying "Do you care about me at all?" Her lips pressed tightly shut as soon as the words were out and her eyes widened a bit in surprise at herself. Her mind rebelled, telling her how stupid that was and that she needed to correct herself, ask him the right question. Instead, her lips stayed shut and she waited, breath held tightly, for an answer.
<Ayuuria> "As a friend, of course I do." he said sincerely looking at her in the eye. His mind raced, hoping he wouldn't have to answer the dreaded question. Well it did come up, he would just dodge the answer.
<Coffee-sama> Sarah: "I would never refuse to a good fight..." She took her sword out of its holder, and pointed to Lex with it. All of a sudden the sword was nailed on the ground "But usually I kick asses who deserve it." She closed her arms, and looked at him "The day when I punch your face is that I had the proofs about the killing. Or that you were trying to jerk with me." Sarah tilted her head, the same smile than back on the shop, but more relaxed.
<JackTheXIV> Lex Cohen "well..." he nodded to himself, "So then I must ask you, Do you still believe it's our fault? Have you tried finding out who this pirate was, or where he came from, Why there was a contract out for him?" Lex clasped his hands together, "you are no more intelligent than the day, i could have slain you but didn't." He turned to grab his chestplate.
<Comical1> Caitlin: she gave an exasperated sigh. "dratit Frees, you know that is not what I meant." She bit her lip, hard, and didn't ease up till she tasted the faintest tinge of copper. That jolted her from her spot, needing to do something, needing to resolve this frustration. She stepped directly in front of him. "This" she said, close to his face and searching his eyes with her own. "this is what I meant," she told him before drifting her eyes shut and pressing her lips to his again. She prayed this time he would respond.
<Ayuuria> He was caught slightly off guard from the kiss and didn't move for a moment. However he knew this couldn't go on and shut his eyes tightly. He grabbed her arms and pushed her away. He had regretful look on his face as his eyes shifted towards the floor. He sighed before he started "I'm sorry Cait... but my feelings for you are not like that. You're a good friend to me and I don't want to lose you. I... You deserve someone better than me... To tell you the truth, I've never thought about relationships before." he said with a sad smile. He felt absolutely guilty saying this but he had to tell the truth.
<Coffee-sama> Sarah: "You will all be guitly until you proof otherwise" She said, walking from left to right thoughtfully. "I've been looking for but... what can I say... I have my own bussiness to deal with at the moment...." Sarah stopped her walking to look at him "Yeah... and I wonder why you didn't... you could have gotten rid of a great pain in the arse." Questioning eyebrow of doom.
<Comical1> Caitlin: She let him push her away, half expecting it already. Then she took an extra step back. "Well then," she whispered, eyeing him tearfully, but keeping a steady voice. "As your friend, it'll be easier to receive the answer to this question. Are you my enemy, Frees, are YOU an assasin??" 0_0
<JackTheXIV> Bloodletter He quickly turned around, blades flew from his inner sleeve, into the dirt four feet from Sarah, he pointed his finger at her, "Don't you mistake my Generosity for Idiocy, You are alive because I'm trying my best NOT to ignite a Full on Bloodshed!" His voice was harsh and angry, He slipped more knives into his Right hand from his Vambrace, and Summoned a ball of black in his left, the ball was a swirl of sickness and was painful to look at, it made eyes sore, and nausious.
<Ayuuria> It finally came, the question he dreaded to answer. Acting as normal as he could he said with a friendly look "I'm just a cashier, nothing more." There was no way in hell he was going to reveal that he was with the assassins, not over his dead body. He didn't say anything more after that and only looked at her quietly.
<Comical1> Caitlin: She stared at him in silence for a moment, then began gently shaking her head no as a small streak of tears escaped her eyes. She pawed them away and sniffed. "I don't believe you," she whispered, then she said it louder, with more force as she stepped closer to him. "I don't believe you Frees," and she smacked him across the face - impulsively - then sniffled again. "And I don't want to be just your friend." After that she rushed out of the shop.
<Coffee-sama> Sarah: She gave a step away, not really surprised. "I never assumed anything, silly Teacher." She retrieved the sword from the ground and cleaned its dirty edge, the first contact with the summoning maker her feel ill, so she did her best to keep the eyes away from it "Such a bipolar man... just moments ago you said you didn't wanted to start a flame war, now you're BEGGING for it. Is that what you want, a fight?"
<Ayuuria> He only stood there as he was smacked across the face. It was only after a few minutes that he let out a sigh and rubbed the cheek that had been slapped. He had solemn look on his face as he could only say one thing "I'm sorry Cait..." With that he went back outside to the table where he left his skate cycle. He really didn't feel like dealing with anything else anymore. All he wanted to do was go home and be left alone. As he got on his skate cycle, he only glanced at Sarah and Bloodletter before pushing off and making his way back to his apartment.
<JackTheXIV> Lex Cohen He dropped the ball and as it left his hands it evaporated away, "I am far more experienced with murder than you, Take your sword and leave, this is a feat of strength, not a battle" he held his hand out dropping several small throwing knives from neath his Shirt sleeve. He turned and picked up his chestplate, strapping it around his chest and tying it up in the back. he adjust his collar and straightened his sleeves.
<Coffee-sama> Sarah: "More experienced with murder? Pffft" She chuckled bitterly "Assuming too fast..." And so she put her sword back to its place. Turning to the bakery, she noticed Cat wasn't there anymore. Free either... Something was wrong, she had to go look for her friend. "Catch you later, Teacher" And with a militar salute, she left.
