    "Thank you, and yes we would do the same for you if you were ever in a bind or needed help, my brother spoke highly of you"
    Falicita wiped the tears from her eyes, then stood. She straighten out her clothing and she to returned back to her seat. She sat quietly while he spoke to whomever came to the door, she wondered what pressing issues he wanted to speak about.



    When he apologized for the interruption, Falicita gave a dismissive wave
    "no need to apologize"
    She sat back in her chair as he explained that he sent for one of his finest agents. She was rather surprised and impressed at how quickly he worked. But then she started wondering, and spaced off for a brief moment, wondering why he had sent word for his finest agents last night, he must have been really suspicious. She shook her head of the thought and listened as he continued. When he brought up the Blue Robe she was rather surprised. She was quiet for a moment, the whole situation with the Blue Robe happened at a bad time.
    "Well umm... see when they first arrived, my brother was the one working out the details with them,, the man that arrived said he was the representative of the Blue Robe, apparently my brother had requested a meeting with them. From my knowledge my brother wanted to join with them, in order to help our clan. "
    she sighed
    "I really don't know what my brothers plan was with the Blue Robe, he kinda kept me in the dark about it."
    She remembered how she treated the man at first
    "I may have made him feel unwelcome when he first arrived"
    She was a bit proud of herself for that, and if one were paying attention, would notice a hint of a smile on her face, before she continued.
    "I didn't attend the meeting long, in fact I ended up upsetting my brother when I told the man that we refused what had to offer and were NOT changing our clan name"
    She sighed
    "But my brother made me leave so I haven't a clue what they discussed after that."
    she shook her head
    "Not knowing what they discussed, made it rather hard for me to meet with him as my brother. My brother and I spoke briefly about it the night of, while on our mission, but all he basically said was that he was planning to take them up on the offer and that I needed to get on board with it for our peoples sake. That's when we noticed the buildings on fire and when he disappeared, only I returned back. "
    She paused a moment remembering that night
    "To save from risking our clan, I decided to take my brothers place. I thought I could pull it off since we both look alike."
    She clenched her fists and looked up at the photo on the wall, the one with her and her brother, next to it was a family photo with their parents.
    "I wanted to make him proud, I thought I could do this, but I ended up biting off more than I can chew"
    She sighed
    "The next morning I had a meeting with the Blue Robe, in my brothers place. It was rather hard to pull it off without knowing what they discussed. The man figured out who I really was, based on the fact I brought up keeping the family name"
    She looked over at Theodoric
    "My brother was rather adamant on making the deal, so after having the man agree to keep my secret and allowing us to keep the family name, I signed the papers thinking ...that is what my brother would have wanted."
    she shook her head
    "If it was my decision, I wouldn't have signed them. But unfortunately I don't get to have a say."
    She looked up at Theodoric once more
    "He is still here.... the man from the order. I am not sure why, but I was informed of his arrival after last night. I would be more than happy to have you attend the next meeting...Please"
    it sounded more like she was begging him to be there
    "I need someone who can advise me during the meeting, cause honestly I don't know what the hell i'm doing"
    She chuckled but in a way one would when embarrassed for admitting something. She decided to change the subject for a moment cause this had been on her mind
    "You said you send for one of your finest agents last night, was there a reason for sending for them then?"
    She was curious as to why he sent for them then and not now.

    “She is embarrassed to admit to the fact that she was playing strip poker, You know I wouldn’t lie to you Red. Not my thing.” Though Red likely knew he was bullshitting, He knew he would go along with it for fun. When he saw the double shot of tequila come to the counter he grabbed it before Kaname could and downed it.

    “I needed that more than you, I’ve had a hangover since I woke up, Get angry if you want but don’t make this headache worse.” Really he just didn’t want anyone else day drinking, prying at any excuse he feasibly could. Before turning away from the counter and heading to the stairs.

    “Alright, Guys, I’m gonna get myself ready, Kaname, I’d like my pants back, but firstly you should come with me instead of stripping right here. I should be the lucky man with the privilege of watching. Red can watch if he would like too.”

    Leo, wanted to start actually earning money, and doing something with his life other than hunting for survival reasons, his dream haunting him he felt he needed some sort of challenge to prepare himself for the inevitable or for nothing.

    I entered Wildeport to find out more information about the midnight blade because I was told an old man named Morgan knows where the midnight blade is. When I got there he told me that the midnight sword was at shadow peek and then he gave me a map to shadow peek now i'm on a journey to shadow peek.

    She huffed
    "I am not embarassed, it NEVER happened"
    she slammed her fist down on the table. Just as her shot arrived, she reached out for it but Leo snatched it up before she could and downed it. She snarled at him, before she was joking, but this time there was fire in her eyes
    "You asshole"
    She stood up, but he just seemed to shrug her off. She was pissed at this point. So when he mentioned needing his pants back, she stripped right in the middle of the bar and threw them at his face.
    "You can have em back"
    she turned around and sat back down in her seat, demanding another shot, this time making sure no one could grab it.
    "you two can go on without me, I'll catch up later"
    She completely shut them out, ignoring anything they said afterwards. She also didn't care the others in the bar was gawking at her, she just wanted to have one shot and some peace and quiet, before continuing her day, especially if she was gonna continue her day with these two. She downed the shot and sat quietly, trying to calm her anger. After about ten or so minutes, she got up headed to the room, getting herself washed up and dressed for the day, ignoring the guys if they were there.

    When she was done, she decided to go and check up on the man she was tending to, hoping maybe that he remembered something more. When entering, she had noticed that the man had moved from his bed and was now sitting at a chair in the corner of the room. Kitsume had brought in a tray with some food and water, medicines she had whipped up as well as some bandages.
    "How are we feeling today? have you remembered anything since last we spoke?"
    she set the tray down in front of the man so that he could eat. She picked up the bandages and medicines and began checking his wounds
    He began eating, he was rather hungry, but didn't want to be rude so he responded in between bites.

    "I did have a strange dream, I was surrounded by flames and I could hear a woman's voice calling to me, but I couldn't make out the name she was calling me"
    he sighed
    "but I woke up shortly after so that's all I got"
    He stopped eating for a moment to allow her to attend to the wound on his head
    Kitsume smiled
    "well that's some progress, it may take some time before you get your memory back"
    she pauses for a moment then continued
    "baby steps"
    she looked at the gash on his head after unwrapping the bandage. She applied some medicine and re-wrapped it.
    "You are also healing very nicely, that is also a plus. I'll check the rest of your wounds while you continue eating. Would you mind removing your shirt so I can attend to the wound on your shoulder."
    she stepped back allowing him to remove his shirt, she then sat on a chair behind him, while he ate, medicated the wound and wrapped it.
    Curious since he had moved from the bed she decided to ask
    "Have you tried walking any today? I've noticed you moved from your bed"
    He shook his head

    "I was only able to walk with the support of the furniture, I'm still a little weak"
    Kitsume nodded
    "I see, well that's still progress. The more you move around, the faster your body will heal, but don't over do it."
    she moved and sat on the edge of his bed.
    "Well we got a little bit of info, so that's a start. Now its just a matter of narrowing down everything and maybe we can help you get your memory back."
    She thought for a moment before continuing
    "Maybe I can get the other two..... that is if they remember"
    She facepalmed realizing they were drunk when they found this guy, so she would have little luck
    "to tell me which direction they found you at. From there, we can maybe follow the path you were on, to get an idea where you came from"
    Kitsume had a few general ideas on where to start based on a few clues she notices, she just needed a few more pieces to the puzzle, and those pieces she needed from the two who were drunk when they found him.
    She stood up and walked over to the door way.
    "You enjoy your meal, I'll request for food to be brought to you for the afternoon as i have a few things to do, but I'll return this evening to tend to your wounds. try to rest as much as you can. "
    She exited and went to find Red and Leo...


    OOT:New character I gotta remember i also have Narumi to play, I may bring her into my Falicita plot.

    Name: Serako Akiyama

    Gender: Female
    Age: 18
    Weapons: Blow gun, Kunai, Yumi
    Ninja Clan: Phoenix
    [​IMG]

    Serako is the sister of Shiro, after their clan was attacked, they thought it was safe to remain hidden for a while. They sought shelter in a mountain near their home which is where they learned to survive and train. Once Shiro felt his sister was ready and old enough. They began traveling together. Always keeping on the move, never staying anyplace for to long.

    Name: Shiro Akiyama
    Gender: Male
    Age: 25
    Weapons:Tachi, Blowgun,Naginata
    Clan: Phoenix

    [​IMG]

    Shiro is the older brother of Serako, if it wasn't for her older brother, she wouldnt have survived when their clan was attacked. From that day he vowed to always look over and protect his younger sister. They hid in the mountains near their home for a few years. Shiro trained his sister to be the warrior she is today. When she was at the age of 16, they began traveling, making sire to always keep in the move, and they never stayed anyplace for to long. The only thing that gives away who they are is the Phoenix emblem they both wore on their clothing, Shiro and his sister agreed to wear the emblem, even it it put them at risk, cause that is their clan they were born and raised in.


    Both shiro and Serako were traveling on a well opened path, they had hoped to seek shelter and rest as they had been walking for a long time.
    "You know Shiro, it wouldn't hurt if we stayed in a place a bit longer. I mean we have been traveling for 2 years now, we should take a break and settle"

    she nudged at her brother
    "And maybe you can get yourself a decent girl to settle with, start a family, you know, expand the Akiyama name, to more than just the two of us"
    she always loved teasing her brother, and no matter how annoyed he would get with her, he always made a point to put a smile on his face. He shook his head at her
    "Now you know I can't do that, then who would look after you and make sure you kept out of trouble?"
    he nudged her back
    "But seriously, you know we cant remain in one place, what if they track us down and kill both of us? we are the only two members left of our clan."
    Serako shrugged

    "well it wouldn't hurt to try, and besides I can take care of own self, I'll be fine"
    Shiro just rolled his eyes, she knew she was fighting a losing battle but was always persistent in arguing with him, he went to say something but then spotted a small tavern.
    "Ah look, shelter for a few days"
    he started hastening his pace getting slightly ahead of her before yelling back
    "Last one there covers dinner, and I'm STARVING for a nice JUICY piece of meat!"
    It took her a moment to catch one and she started running after him

    "Hey, you did that on purpose......I'll pay for mine, but your one your own"
    Shiro only chuckled as he kept his pace ahead of her
    "Come one slow poke!"


    OOT: two characters if anyone wants to spot them

    OOT: In case anyone forgot who she is I quoted my post from when i introduced her.

    After her father had her taken to her room, her father was finally able to focus on task his task at hand.

    Narumi paced in her room in frustration
    "I need to find out if he is ok, I don't care what my father says"
    She paced for a few minutes more and then suddenly stopped.
    "That's it, I'll just sneak out and go visit him myself. I don't need my fathers approval or help. Kaname will make sure I'll return safely home. I just gotta get there safely."

    She had a plan, and began putting it into action. She gathered some clothing and placed them in satchel then headed down to the stables. Thankfully she had her own horse, with her father busy, now was the perfect time for her to sneak out. She made her way towards the Nagasaki clan at full speed.

    While she was awaiting for Theo to answer her question, she heard a commotion outside the door. A familiar voice and suddenly the hairs on the back of Kitsumes neck stood up.
    "Oh no...not her....not now"
    she face palmed and just as her head hit her hand, the door swung open.
    One of the clan members could be heard yelling "you can't go in there" just as the door hit the back of the wall

    "Kaname!"
    Her eyes scoured the room and when she saw Falicita sitting at her brothers desk, Narumi narrowed her eyes at Falicita
    "Where is he!! Why haven't I heard from him. Where is he Falicita, you better tell me where my fiance is, and why the hell are you sitting at HIS desk!!"
    she crossed her arms waiting for Falicita to answer, she then took notice to Theo who was standing in the middle of the room and decided to question him
    "And who the hell are you"

    Falicita as calmly as she could, but it was obvious she was annoyed by this woman, stood up from her brothers desk.
    "Narumi, right now isn't the best time. You are interrupting a meeting"

    She then walked over to Theo and gave him a look as if she was saying 'help me'
    "My brother isn't here right now, he went out on a mission and left Theo here in charge during his absence"
    She knew that Narumi wouldn't believe that her brother would have left her in charge, not to mention Narumi would throw a conniption

    Narumi glared at Kitsume
    "I don't believe you. He wouldn't just up and leave without letting me know, or at least writing me"
    She then turned her glare to Theo
    "So if he left this man in charge, who is he? Why would Kaname entrust his clan to a total stranger. He never mentioned having any friends to me"


    Falicita mumbled under her breath. Theo was close enough to hear what she mumbled
    "there is a very good reason for that"


    "What was that?"
    Narumi narrowed her eyes at Falicita

    Falicita sighed
    "Narumi why are you here? Shouldn't you have sent word you were coming? Does your father know you are here?"
    Falicita raised her brow at Narumi

    Narumi huffed at the questions
    "I'm here because I haven't heard from Kaname and I was worried. I don't have to answer to you. nor does my father knowing if I am here, concern you. Now tell me who the hell is this man that your brother entrusted his clan to, or shall I report the fact that you are hiding something, to my father?"


    Falicita knew her reporting back to her father wasn't good. It could ruin the merging of the clans and her brothers future wedding. Even tho Falicita didn't agree to it, and it was obvious as to why. Put simple her, and Narumi didn't get along. Narumi had made it loud in clear that if Falicita got in the way, Narumi would have her killed.
    "No you don't need to report anything to your father."
    Falicita looked up at Theo, hoping he could maybe help her in this situation
    "He is.... well.... he's..."
    she struggled on what to tell Narumi, not sure if she would believe that Kaname had friends. Her brother never really shared much with Narumi and Narumi wasn't one to really believe Falicita....

    Wulfred would absolutely go along with this.
    "Oooh, how scandalous!"
    For just a brief moment, he gave Leo a subtle, knowing look.
    "In that case, I'm sorry if I interrupted something here. You two must be getting along way more than I thought."
    He stifled a laugh as the conversation rolled on.


    Red watched the two bicker with an amused expression on his face as he quietly ate his breakfast.
    "Oh, this is gold. Gods help me, I could watch these two all day long."
    Keeping his thoughts to himself, he stayed at the table while the other two left. After finishing his breakfast, he went over to the innkeeper and put down enough coins to pay his bill, along with a little extra.
    "Here you go, and a little something for all of your help last night. Thanks again."

    He went back to his room and started sharpening his weapons, trying to remember what happened last night.
    "Damn, that was a crazy party. Never did get those bounties, though...ah well. I guess it's alright, since we...we, uh..."
    His voice trailed off. He knew he did something important last night, but he couldn't remember what exactly. He remembered the innkeeper helping them out, but he couldn't remember what the innkeeper did. It was starting to bother him, so he got up and starting walking around, trying to retrace his steps.
    "I feel like I went to one of these rooms last night, I've just got to remember why...hmm, this way?"
    He started walking up and down the halls, until one room in particular stood out to him. He went over to knock on the door when it suddenly opened on its own, and Kitsume was standing in front of him.
    "Huh? Wait, is this your room?"
    Then he looked inside and saw the mysterious man from last night, and his memory started to come into focus a little more.
    "Oh. Ohh, right, that's what happened! So that wasn't all just some weird dream."


    Theodoric could see the desperation in Falicita's eyes and knew that she needed him to step up and take control of the situation. As a man who was used to thinking on his feet, Theo was ready to oblige as he stood up from his seat. He turned to Narumi, giving a very formal and respectful bow with the practiced motions of an expert in etiquette.
    "My lady, please accept my sincerest apologies for the confusion. Lord Kaname is currently out on a mission of utmost importance and secrecy, such that not even his closest confidants were made aware of the details, myself included. I know only that he may be away for quite some time, hence why he called upon me to assist in managing his lordship's lands while he is away."

    He gave a humble, self-derisive laugh.
    "If I may offer some conjecture, my lady, perhaps he has not mentioned me before because I am hardly worth mentioning. I am merely a humble lord from a small corner of the White Lion clan. When Lord Kaname called upon me for assistance, I humbly accepted his request with the greatest of honor. For you see, I wish to repay his kindness in any small way I can, after he saved me and mine from utter annihilation. Back when I was but a fledgling lord, with even less power and influence than I possess now, I faced grave danger from an opposing clan. I was convinced that our cause was hopeless, that we were all destined to be put to the blade come the morrow! That was when he appeared, riding with the rising sun at his back, bathed in glorious light! In my darkest hour, he appeared like a god of war...and struck down all who would do my kin harm!"
    Throwing himself into the performance, a single tear rolled down his cheek.
    "I...am forever grateful to him. Naturally, when he asked me to help Falicita watch over his lands, I jumped at the chance. That is why, though I cannot remain here at all times, I will be here at every opportunity to lend my assistance in any way I can, for whatever it may be worth. I do hope you understand, Lady Narumi."

    Was it a bit over the top? Perhaps. But Theodoric had a feeling, and his instinct has not led him astray yet. He supposed that Narumi would not be the type to accept a simple, direct explanation. She seemed quite stubborn and strong-willed, so he knew that he would need a more...extravagant explanation to sway her in the slightest. In doing so, he took certain...liberties with the history between himself and Kaname. To say that he is a "humble lord" in the White Lion clan is not entirely inaccurate, as he has been called humble by some and he certainly qualifies as a lord. To say that he rules a "small corner" is not entirely inaccurate either, as he has many vassals which rule different parts of the land while he rules from a single castle. Even the story he told was true, from a certain point of view...though it did have a few embellishments, and most importantly, the roles were completely reversed.

    Kitsume was startled when she opened the door, and nearly ran right into Red. When he had asked her if it was her room, she raised a brow. It took a moment for it to click when he mentioned a weird dream .
    "Just, how drunk were you last night?"
    She shook her head then looked into the room where the man sat
    "Well he is showing some progress, he is able to walk a few steps. I'll keep checking on him throughout the day and see if there is any more progress. "
    she paused a moment to determine if he would be ok to travel by morning. Then continued
    "If he continues to show some progress, he may be good to travel by tomorrow"
    she turned her attention to Red
    "But I suggest we find a horse in case he needs rest. We haven't a clue how long its gonna take to find out where he is from. The only clues we have are what he was wearing, but there isn't much left considering they were pretty tatterd and burned. The innkeeper was nice enough to lend him his old clothes "
    she looked back at the man
    "Amazing how the two have totally different body features, yet can wear the same size clothing"
    The inkeeper was a bit round in the belly and slumped over and the man in the room was pretty buff and rather tall, so it was a surprise to see the clothing fit the man rather nicely. She chuckled as she walked out of the room, stopping justoutside of the door
    "Any leads on work? I assumed you and Leo would have found some work by now"


    Falicita relaxed when Theo began talking and explaining. Narumi always got under her skin and made her feel tense. With her brother gone, added to the mix, she was at a loss for words when trying to give a good explanation. Her showing up was so sudden and threw her off. She watched Narumis facial expression and hoped she would believe it, all while listening to Theo. When Theo mentioned her brother and the story that followed, this was a story she hadn't heard yet. Did this really happen? or is he just throwing a story together on a whim? She didn't know Theo that way to know his tells, but she was very intrigued by his story. Even him tearing up, made Facilita believe it was all true. She stood there stunned at his story that it took her a moment to realize he was done speaking. She quickly cleared her throat
    "Well I think he explained it better than I could"

    Narumi stood for a moment contemplating whether this man was telling the truth. Why hasn't Kaname mentioned this man to her before? She looked up at Falicita for any tells, but thankfully Falicita was a hard person to read. After about 2 minutes of silence, Narumi spoke up.
    "You said that you couldn't be here at all times while my Kaname is gone, with your absence, who is in charge?"
    she seemed to think for a moment as if trying to piece together a puzzle, then it clicked. She instantly narrowed her eyes at Falicita
    "Please don't tell me its HER...."
    you could see the fire in her eyes and the anger over her face
    "She is the absolute worse person you could leave in charge, SHE doesn't know how to run a clan. She would fail the first five minutes she is in charge of the clan. Kaname wouldn't be that stupid to leave HER in charge"


    Falicita began clenching her fists as Narumi began bashing Falicita. 'just one swing, that's all I need to get in, is just one swing'. Falicita putting Narumi in her place was long over due. Her brother always held her back from fighting his fiancé. But her brother wasn't there now...

    "Wait til my father hears this, wait til he hears that a measly little girl is in charge of my fiancees clan in the absence of my fiancé and.."
    she looked Theo up and down for a moment
    "his humble lords absence"
    She shook her head
    "This is laughable, she couldn't even get herself a husband to save her clan, let alone..."

    Falicita had just about enough, before Narumi could finish her last sentence. Falicita had jumped towards Narumi to take a swing at her.
    "SHUT UP!!"
    Narumi went to block, but was just a tad to late, and took the blow to her cheek. Narumi stumbled back a few steps, but was able to quickly catch her footing. She placed her hand on her cheek to feel the now swollen area, while Falicita guarded herself for a fight

    "You're gonna pay for that"
    She spun to do a back kick to Falicita's face, but Falicita was quicker and was able to block her and catch Narumis foot in mid air

    "You'll have to beat me first"
    Falicita kicked Narumis other leg out from under her, causing Narumi to land on her back, Narumi gasped as the air was knocked out of her. Falicita then dropped Narumi's other leg.
    "I've had enough of you and your threats, the only reason I was nice to you is because my brother asked me to, the only reason I tolerated you all this time, is because you may someday become my brothers bride. But that hasn't been made official YET."

    Narumi let out a growl as she began to get up
    "My father ...will hear about this"


    Falicita crossed her arms
    "And what would your father think if he knew you came all the way here by yourself?"
    She held her fists up waiting for Narumi to charge
    " I thought it was strange there was no word of your arrival or even an announcement before entering. You always make sure to make a grand entrance when you visited. I bet you snuck out and came all the way here by yourself, against your fathers will, or there would be some soldiers with you. "

    Narumi was annoyed at the fact Falicita figured it out in such a short time and she didnt like the fact that Falicita now had something to hold over her head.
    "I'm gonna kill you"
    she leapt into the air to kick Falicita again, Falicita was able to block the kick from hitting her face, but the force knocked her back into her brothers desk causing her back to hit it rather hard. As she stumbled to catch her footing, Narumi had pulled out her kunai and managed to catch Falicita in the right shoulder, leaving a gash, and then again on Falicitas left side in the rib. As Narumi went for a third swing with her kunai, the sound of metal hitting was heard. Falicita had her brothers sword in her hand, and used it to block Narumi's third blow, which caught Narumi off guard. Falicita took the advantage and kicked Narumi in the stomach, this caused Narumi to stumble back and drop her kunai.


    Falicitas blood was boiling at this point, that she wasn't thinking. She charged towards Narumi with her brothers sword with the intent of killing her....

    Red took a few seconds to think, scratching his head as last night's events slowly came back to him.
    "Let's see...yeah, we did pick up a few odd-jobs here and there last night. I'd think we should be able to get them done pretty quick with all three of us working on 'em. Nothing too exciting unfortunately, but it'll give us some traveling money at least. As for getting a horse, I know a guy around here, he'll give us a good deal on one. He damn well better, seeing as how he still owes me a favor from a certain "incident" I helped him with."
    He laughed a little.
    "And, uh...to answer your question, yeah, I was pretty smashed last night."
    He looked over to the stranger.
    "I'm guessing you're not really some kind of unicorn wizard. But hey, drunk or not, I said I'd help you out last night and I always keep my word. We'll make sure you get your memory back, then we'll get you home safe. I know last night probably wasn't the best first impression, but don't worry, you can trust me on this. Sober Wulfred is a lot more reliable than drunk Wulfred."


    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Theodoric let the fight between Falicita and Narumi go on for some time, unsure if he was within his rights to intervene. He was unsure in his knowledge of the Nagasaki clan's customs and traditions, or of the relationship between the two, so he thought it best to let things play out for the time being. As the fight grew more intense, coming to blows and then to weapons, Theo's expression turned harsh and he folded his arms, seething with indignation at the way they were conducting themselves. Even so, he held his tongue until the fight took a turn for the worse.

    Theo knew the glint in Falicita's eyes all too well. It was unmistakably the intent to murder, and she held that gaze on her current target as her muscles tensed in preparation for the killing blow. It was at this point that Theo could contain himself no longer. He stepped between the two with agility that seemed impossible for a man his size, drawing his sword as he moved.
    "ENOUGH!!!"
    Wielding his blade firmly with both hands, he intercepted Falicita's attack and gave a mighty swing upwards, launching the katana out of her hands and into the air. Keeping the forward momentum from his parry, he positioned himself between the two, keeping his sword in his right hand while reaching upwards with his left. He caught the katana before it could hit the ground, and as soon as he did, he held his weapons outwards to the two, the zweihander pointing towards Narumi and the katana pointing to Falicita.
    "By my honor, there will be no bloodshed in this house while I remain in it! The both of you should be deeply ashamed of your conduct. Has the Nagasaki clan devolved into a horde of barbarians in its leader's absence? Where is your honor?! Where is your dignity?! Shameful!"

    He turned to Narumi, eyes filled with cold fury as he spoke in a stern, authoritative voice.
    "Would your father approve of what you have done here? Do you think Kaname would approve? Would he be happy to hear that you were so concerned about him, you barged into his home and began hurling abuse and accusations towards his flesh and blood? You shortsighted fool! He will hear of your dangerously short temper, how you let your anger control you at a moment's notice, and when he does, how do you think he will react? If I know him at all, his anger will be directed towards you, not his sister. You call him your fiancee? Then how dare you act in such a manner! Reflect on your actions today, before your temper brings dishonor and shame to the Nagasaki name."

    He then directed his indignant gaze towards Falicita.
    "As for you! You deserve just as much blame as she does for this outcome, if not more. You let your anger control you as well, when you should have been the one to take the moral high ground! Did you learn nothing from your brother? Are you truly swayed by your emotions so easily? If this is how you react to the slightest provocation, you will fail miserably in the realm of diplomacy! Other rulers will see this weakness of yours and exploit it, and your clan will suffer for your lack of self-control. By the gods, if I killed every mindless imbecile who provoked my wrath during negotiations, my castle would be bathed in blood! You had a chance to prove yourself today, and you came up painfully short. Even worse..."

    As he spoke, he sheathed his greatsword and held the katana sideways, looking down at it. His stern expression turned somber as he continued speaking.
    "...This blade is no kinslayer, and you would have made it so. This blade is sworn to protect the lands of the Nagasaki and all who dwell within. Not drawn in hatred, but in defense of loved ones. For a blade like this to taste innocent blood would be a tragedy beyond measure. Please...be more careful when you wield it."
    With that, he presented the blade back to Falicita.

    Kitsume chuckled
    "I figured as much"
    she looked in on the man once more
    "I think we should probably look for Leo and help him with any jobs he may have started. I don't really need the money, but I'll pitch in and help"
    she smirked

    Kaname gave Red a nod
    "I appreciate the help. I probably would have died if you guys didn't find me. I wish I could just remember a little something, but I promise I'll do all I can to help on my part, until I find my way back home"


    It all happened so quickly, Falicita was burning with rage, all she wanted to do was take down Narumi for all the torture she put her through, take her down for all the remarks she made, she didn't think about the consequences of her actions, and let the rage consumed her. As she swung her brothers sword to strike Narumi, she heard Theos booming voice right before she felt the blade hit, but it wasn't flesh she struck, instead it was metal on metal. It took a moment for her to snap back into reality to realize what had happened. Theo was now standing in front of her, blocking her blade with his, stopping her from striking Narumi. He then swiftly knocked the blade out of her hands. Her eyes darted to Theo and then to Narumi, it was then that she realized she had let rage get in the way and acted out as a result of it. She stumbled back in shock, losing her balance, she fell on her backside. The jolt of her landing caused the gash in her shoulder and rib to hurt, she winced at the pain and clutched her shoulder. She sat quietly and made sure not to interrupt Theo as he scolded Narumi.


    Narumi had been cowering on the ground when Falicita was about to strike her down, she was holding her arms up in hopes to block the blade, eyes closed, she prepared for the finishing blow. Upon hearing the blades hit, Narumi's eyes flashed opened to see Theo standing in Falicitas way, blocking her blade. At that moment she was rather grateful that Theo was in the room. As Theo began to scold her for her behavior and questioning her actions, she scowled at him the entire time, the only time a hint of fear stuck her eyes, was when Theo mentioned telling Kaname of her actions, but she didn't seem to phased by the threat. Narumi wasn't one who liked being scolded and she rarely tolerated her father scolding her, let alone a stranger she hardly knew. Needless to say, she was an only child and spoiled at that. She crossed her arms and mumbled incoherently under her breath. When Theo turned his attention to Falicita, Narumi sat behind him with a smirk. She was enjoying the show as Theo tore into Falicita, seeing this was rather satisfying to her.


    When it was Falicita's turn to be scolded, she gave Theo her full attention. She knew she was in the wrong and deserved what was coming. She looked up at Theo with remorse as he scolded her for her behavior. She had made a fool of herself, and quite frankly she was embarrassed for acting the way she did, what was worse is she did it in front of her brothers best friend. Out of respect she bowed down and apologized
    “I’m terribly sorry, I acted out of anger, my actions were unacceptable. “
    She clenched her fist, angry at herself when realizing she would completely fail as a leader of her clan

    “I failed in keeping control of my emotions and let them get the best of me, not only have I failed my brother, I have failed myself and failed my clan.”
    When he mentioned the blade and the fact she almost used her brothers blade to kill kin, she winced at the thought. Although he couldn't see her face as she was still bowed down on the floor, it was obvious that his words stuck her, her body had tensed when she winced at the though. He was right, that blade was her brothers, not hers and she had almost shed future kin blood with it. She sat up as he went to hand her the blade. She stared at it for a moment but refused to take it, instead she looked Theo in the eyes. Tears welling up in hers
    "I don't deserve to wield my brothers blade, I have a lot to learn. Please.....keep it until his return"



    Narumi scoffed as she stood up and brushed herself off
    "You're damned right, you don't deserve that blade"
    She crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes at Falicita

    “Next time you try to pull a stunt like that again, you’ll be lucky to walk away alive. Let those wounds remind you of that from here on out. If you cross my path and try to get in my way again, I wont let you live”
    Even tho Narumi was the one who cheated by bringing weapons to a fist fight, she felt superior over Falicita as she looked down at her, seeing the wounds she caused as the blood began seeping through Falicita's clothing and pooling on the floor.

    In reality, Falicita was a better fighter than Narumi hands down and it was obvious Falicita was winning, but since Narumi couldn't stand the fact that Falicita had the upper hand, she took things a step further and pulled a blade on Falicita which gave her an upper hand. Falicita was suddenly filled with rage, but Theo's lecture stuck in the back of her mind. Using her brothers desk, she slowly pulled herself up.
    "You're a coward for pulling a weapon"
    She had enough of Narumi, but instead of letting the anger get to her and starting another fight, she took a deep and quite painful breath
    "GET OUT!"


    A few seconds after hearing yelling, 3 soldiers came rushing into the room and noticed the blood on Falicita. They were about to rush to her side but Falicita held up her hand to stop them

    "Her, remove her immediately. Take her to her room and lock her in there. Contact her father and tell him about her whereabouts, DON"T let her out until her father sends for her"

    Narumi suddenly had the look of fear in her eyes. Not because she feared Falicita, but the fact that her father would soon hear that she had snuck out and came to the Nagasaki clan all by herself. She crossed her arm and stomped her foot
    "NO, I will NOT be locked in a room, I have every right to roam as I pleased"

    The soldiers moved quickly and surrounded Narumi, grabbing her arms to make sure she couldn't escape


    "As long as you are here in my home, you will remain locked up until your father sends for you. When you finally return home, do NOT return here unannounced. If my brother wants you here, he will send for you, this is MY home and you cannot be trusted."
    She looked at the soldiers
    "Alert everyone, she is not to return here unless my brother sends for her"
    she was beginning to feel a little weak and put all her weight on her good arm to hold her up. She turned her attention back to Narumi
    "I will let your fate be decided by my brother, but I suggest you tread lightly until his return or I will make sure he chooses another bride"
    She gave a nod and the soldiers proceeded to remove her from the room.
    Narumi didn't go quietly, she screamed and yelled threats to Falicita the entire way. As it grew silent, Falicita legs grew weak and she fell to the ground.
    "I don't understand what my brother sees in that woman"
    She then turned her attention to Theo. She had the look of humiliation on her face.
    "I wouldn't blame you, if think differently of me. I deserve whatever punishment you see fit, and I deserve whatever punishment my brother deems fit upon his return"

    Red raised an eyebrow, concern crossing his face.
    "I mean, I appreciate the thought, but I'm not sure if you're in any shape to help out in our line of work. I don't want you pushing yourself too hard. Whoever you are, it looks like you've been through hell and back, so it'd probably be best to leave the heavy lifting to us."
    He smirked a little as he stroked his chin.
    "Who knows? Maybe we'll find out that you're some kind of fancy nobleman or lord, then you can thank us with positions of influence and honor in your lordship's service."
    He laughed at the thought.
    "Kidding, of course. Whoever heard of a lord that let himself get caught up in the kind of mess you've been in? You'd have to be some kind of crazy!"
    He fell oddly silent in thought for a moment.
    "Or maybe...he really is a unicorn wizard and he just forgot how to use his magic."
    He waved his hand dismissively, chuckling to himself.
    "Ah, don't mind me, the booze must still be messing with my brain. Anyway, Kitsume's got the right idea, let's go see what Leo's up to so we can get things started."


    -----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Theo gave a heavy sigh as he sat back down and faced Falicita.
    "So you say, but I feel that it is not my place to deal out your punishment. I will defer to Kaname's judgment when he returns. That being said, if I were to give you a punishment, it would be as so..."
    He took a sip of his tea before continuing.
    "...I would tell you to return to your room and reflect upon what has happened today. Every ruler makes mistakes, myself included, but not every ruler learns from those mistakes. Reflect and gain wisdom from this experience, so you may handle the situation differently the next time a similar event occurs. I believe that is satisfactory for your punishment. The regret in your eyes and the wounds on your body show me that you have already suffered enough from your mistakes, now it is time to grow both as a ruler and as a person."




    (OOT: Short post for Theo this time, but only because I want to give Falicita a chance to respond before I bring my other two characters in.)

    Leo quickly put on his pants, and walked away from the bar. He had let the other two drift off silently after the ruckus had settled. He knew he was agitating her. It was only for fun and to tease her a little, watching a fiery women brought him pleasure.

    Walking to the front door, He made way for his old shack. It was run down and abandoned he spent little time in there but he kept some of his more important stuff there still. Once he walked into the house he stomped open the floor boards, before he worked on making the house he put his old war equipment under them. Grabbing his old sword and shield, he holstered them. Leaving his shack he made his way back to the Inn. Upon walking into the front door, The patrons noticed Leo brandishing a new weapon, something that resembled more western style of fighting. A short sword and a kite shield. Naturally they bickered and judged him amongst each other.

    Leo made his way up the stairs and towards Red and Kitsume’s voice. The door was closed, and so he stood outside listening to them chatter, Red likely knew he was there, Kitsume probably didn’t. He heard most of the conversation of how Red and Him had saved him but paid no mind to it. After he felt he had heard enough he opened the door.

    “Has he gained back any memories?” Leo said firstly upon opening the door. He walked towards Red and gave him a tap on the shoulder, Hoping Red didn’t say anything about his old weapons. “Can he walk?” He had no genuine interest in taking along this man but he couldn’t just leave him behind it would be death if the people who tried to kill him were to find him. “As long as he can walk he is coming with us, In the condition we saw him last night, Panicked, beaten, and burned. I’m inclined to believe he was attacked. It would be best if we were to protect him. Besides, Red and I have to see if we can meet some girl he was talking about. Apparently she is a princess and we’re into Cinderella stories, who knows maybe she will fall in love with one of us.”

    Leo smiled. But almost instantly his demeanor became more serious. Turning his head to Kitsume he made sure to look her in the eyes, he didn’t want her to misunderstand anything he was saying, or to play it off as a joke.

    “Grab your weapons, Go outside of the tavern. Hold nothing back, We’re going to fight. Red will watch and stop any killing blows from either of us in the heat of battle. I’ve seen Red in action one of the best warriors here, I haven’t seen you in action. You can punch but can you wield a blade.”

    He knows she will humor him, whether or not she wants to take it serious. When he turned around he made sure only Reds gaze would meet his. He smiled at Red, “Make sure the dying man comes down with us.” He said out loud. “We’re moving on from here after the sparring session. And for the love of god, don’t let the patrons know.”

    Leo walked down stairs and to the exit of the inn sitting on the front steps waiting for everyone else to arrive.

    Just as her and Red were about to leave the room, Leo had entered
    "Speak of the devil himself"
    she smirked then moved out of the way to allow Leo into the room. She crossed her arms and leaned against the wall, with one foot up to help with balance, before speaking
    "Nothing in the memories department yet, But he has attempted to walk and is somewhat able to, but he is still a bit weak"
    She looked at Leo
    "I was just telling Red that we should find a horse, in case he cannot make the trip fully, a horse would be something he could use. He will more than likely need frequent rest, as he is still a bit weak from his burns"
    She went silent as Leo continued

    A sudden snort could be heard from Kitsume as she tried to fight back the laughter... but she couldn't contain it and blurted out
    "What if ....now hear me out...."
    she snorted again
    "What if....the girl he is speaking of....... is his grandmother....."
    she suddenly burst into laughter at the thought, clutching her stomach as she was laughing so hard. Not one of them had a clue who the man spoke of the night before, so there was many possibilities who this woman was. She suddenly gasped for air and continued
    "I mean, if that's what your into, then by all means...."
    she gave a dismissive wave as in saying 'don't mind me' while she continued laughing. After she had her moment, she composed herself, straightened herself up, wiped the tears in her eyes away and ended with a "whoooo"
    She then gave Leo a serious look
    "Do you really think that he was attacked?"
    She looked over at the man and his wounds. Leo had a good point, his wounds could be the result of an attack. She kept her attention on the man, the expression on her face was of one that was trying to piece together a puzzle. She then turned her attention to Leo who was looking directly in her eyes, telling her to grab her weapon and meet him outside. When he questioned her about being able to wield a blade, her expression turned and she had looked offended
    "Of course I can wield a blade, you think I just carry a blade around for decoration?"
    she scoffed while pushing herself off the wall, at that point Leo had already exited the room. Without saying a word tot he other two, she left the room and headed towards their room where she had left her katana. She didn't want to wander around the inn carrying her blade, scaring people. She took a moment to check her blade, lifting it to eye level, unsheathing to check the sharpness, she was satisfied and sheathed it, placing the strap over her shoulder and grabbing the rest of her things. She exited the room, headed down the hallway and stopped just at to door, where she spotted Leo was sitting on the steps. She shook her head, then headed outside, passing Leo on the steps dropping her bag beside him. She stopping a few feet away from the bottom step turning to face him, she began stretching her arms out, pulling on her shoulders.
    "Lets do this"
    she smirked....



    She listened as he spoke of the type of punishment he would have chose. 'sending her to her room, made her feel like a child upon hearing this, but that may have been the point' out of respect she continued to listen. She looked down at her wounds when he mentioned them, her clothing was rather stained in blood, she should probably have that taken care of. When Theo was finished, she spoke
    "If it was Kaname, he would probably have me apologize to Narumi publically, then have me do hard labor and training for a few days as punishment"
    she gave Theo a wry smile. Her brother could be harsh on her at times, and she did wonder how he would take the news of her fighting Narumi. He wouldn't be very happy with her, that was for sure. After a moment, she shakily got up, walked over to a cabinet, opening the door, she pulled out a wooden box. She then walked over to Theo and as she handed to him
    "Do you think you can help me?"
    Inside the box contained a medical kit, with herbs, bandages, needle and thread as well as some other medical supplies, one would need for patching up battle wounds. She was a bit embarrassed to ask for help, but was just a bit to weak to do it herself, not to mention the shoulder would be fairly hard for her to stitch up properly, one handed. She then glanced over at the door, which was still opened. As
    awkward as her next question would sound, she had a good reason.
    "Could you... shut the door...."
    her face flushed, as the next question made things even more awkward
    "and lock it please"
    The locations of her wounds would require her to remove some articles of clothing to get to them. But since she was pretending to be her brother, she had to hide certain features by bandaging them. The problem is, she couldn't have anyone enter the room or past the room, while she was getting stitched up and reveal her secret. She would just have to figure out a way to explain everything to the soldiers she had escort Narumi out of the room later. 'I could just tell them that I returned for a short time and that my brother had to step out to check on a nearby village, and then make myself go on a mission while I continue to portray my brother in his absence'. Out of no where she left out a sigh, living a double life was exhausting. She than glanced up at Theo, she was rather grateful he was there, even tho he couldn't be there the entire time. Hopefully she wouldn't have to deal with Narumi's father and that he will just send soldiers to collect her.
    "Thank you"
    she gave him a sincere smile, to show her gratitude for helping her until her brother returns.
    "I promise, I'll do what I can to pay back the debt I will owe you after this"
    with that she sat down to mentally prepare herself to be stitched up....

    Red smirked as he walked outside with the others.
    "Ooh, now this should be fun."
    Seeing as this was a small town and most people were busy going about their business, it wasn't difficult to find a quiet, open area for the duel to take place in. Red had the two of them stand about ten paces apart, standing between them as they drew steel and took a battle-ready stance. As he spoke, Red's demeanor changed, now looking more composed and serious than before. It made sense as duels were a matter of proud tradition within the White Lion clan, and he took his role as judge and referee with the gravity it deserved.
    "Alright, listen up! This will be a 'best out of three' match. A point is earned at first blood or by forcing an opponent to submit. However, serious injuries will force an immediate disqualification and the match will end."
    He chuckled a little.
    "I know, you've heard this all before, but rules are rules and we can't just skip to the good part."
    He took a few steps back and held his hand high.
    "Ready...fight!"
    He brought his hand down and took a few more steps back, giving the two of them plenty of room to do their thing.



    "Ah...yes, of course."
    There was no hiding the slight tinge of hesitation and uncertainty in his voice. As king of the White Lions, he was many things to many people, but a healer was not one of them. Even so, he could see that the situation called for his help and his alone, so he did as he was asked and closed the door before locking it.


    Theo sighed.
    "Your thanks may be premature. This is...not exactly my specialty."
    Even so, he picked up the medical supplies as Falicita began to remove her outer layers of clothing.
    "It has been quite some time since I have done this and I am relatively inexperienced, but I will try my best to be gentle with you."
    He was so focused on his task, he failed to realize how peculiar that sounded until the words left his lips.
    "First aid, that is. Ahem, apologies, I could have...phrased that differently. In any case, I will begin treatment."
    He began by disinfecting the wounds with a salve. Drawing on the basic healing techniques he had been taught many years ago, his treatment was quick, precise, and technically correct. However, he was no healer and he certainly did not have a healer's touch, so despite his best efforts, he most certainly was not gentle about it.

    "Fortunately," he thought to himself, "nobody is around to hear if she makes any sudden noises from the pain and discomfort." At least, that's what he thought until he heard a knock at the door. His eyes widened slightly in surprise.

    "Damn it all, the gods have it out for me today."
    He composed himself and answered the knock.
    "What is it? We are in the middle of a private meeting."


    Alkelda's voice came through the door.
    "My lord, we have just arrived and...we saw a young woman being escorted out of the castle. Is everything alright? Was she an assassin?"

    "Wouldn't put it past her, that chick had crazy eyes for sure. She was kinda cute though."
    "Ranulf, would you take take this seriously for one minute?! King Theodoric or Lord Kaname could have been injured!"
    "Oh come on, they're fine. King Theo might just be the biggest badass in the empire, you could send six assassins and it wouldn't even make him break a sweat. And I don't know about that Kaname guy, but if he's friends with King Theo then he's gotta be pretty strong too, right?"
    "Could the two of you give us a moment of privacy? You arrived at a rather...delicate moment, and I need to tend to Kaname."
    Ranulf just barely stifled a laugh, the biggest shit-eating grin on his face. Alkelda gave him a glare that could kill lesser men.
    "If you're thinking what I think you're thinking, don't you dare say it--"

    "How delicate are we talking, here?"
    "DAMN IT, RANULF!"
    "Alkelda, you have my permission."
    "With gusto, your lordship."
    There was a loud smack and a pained
    "OW!" as Alkelda smacked Ranulf upside the head.

    Leo looked at Kitsume, seeing her smirk, with smug confidence gave him all he needed to shut her up. Instead of reacting with anger Leo smiled back at her, Red being the only one in the village knowing any bit of Leo’s history as a soldier, knew the battle was shifted in his favor especially with his old sword and shield back in his hands. Finally he decided to speak.

    “If I beat you in this fight, not only do you have to recognize me as your superior. You have to kiss me.” Leo Still smiling stood up and got face to face with her, he leaned in as though he wasn’t going to wait for the battle to claim his reward. “If you win, I’ll do whatever you want for the next week.” Around that time Red came out. He paced back to as requested. before Red could finish his sentence about the best of 3 he interrupted.

    “Red, keep your weapon at the ready. If either of us plan on continuing the fight after first blood, or injury, you are in charge or separating it.”

    Once he heard the okay to go, Leo never drew his sword, however it didn’t stop him from charging into Kitsume immediately, before she could even see an opening, Leo closed the distance and shoves he’s shield into her gut, knocking the wind out of her, When she leaned in to sand bag it, He grabbed the weapon and its sheathe and shoved the hilt into her chin knocking her back up. Before she could come to her senses he kicked her down on her ass. “That’s round 1.”

    Holding out his hand to Kitsume, he planned on helping her up “Don’t hold back. Kitsume, Look at this as if its life or death.” after she accepted or declined he took 10 paces back to his original position. Red would be calling it anyway.


    Leo, didn’t say much more after that. Staring down Kitsume it was clear he was focused, he watched her every movement even between rounds.

    Falitica tilted her head when he spoke about being inexperienced in first aid. Her cheeks slightly flushed when he apologized to her for not phrasing things correctly, even though she had known what he meant. The two of them being alone in the room as they were did kinda make things awkward. As he began the cleansing process she decided to make small talk. To help him relax and to help her keep her mind off the pain.
    "A man of your ranking, ought to know basic first aid.. if you like, I can teach you"
    She looked up at him and smiled as he finished the cleaning process
    "You are doing good so far"




    Falicita thankfully had a bit of a high tolerance for pain and was able to breath through most of it. She was taught self meditation at a young age and how breathing through it was very helpful. This wasn't her first and probably not her last time she would need stitching. The first time she needed stitches, was when she and her brother were very young, she was about 4. See her and Kaname weren't always as mature as they are now, in fact they had a knack for getting into trouble or doing things that involved one of them getting hurt. It wasn't until their parents death, that the two had to straighten up, but even then, their missions would often require some first aid either for them or their soldiers. So first aid initially became a requirement, before becoming a clan member.

    Only a few times had she groaned, winced or even bit her lip in pain. Biting her lip was to help take the focus off the stitching and put focus on a new pain, just for a brief moment when it got to be too much. He was just about finished when there was a sudden knock at the door, the knock startled her causing her to jump, but thankfully he wasn't in the process of guiding the needle through her skin, or that could have been very painful. Theo answered the knock, which allowed Falicita to relax, she would just let him handle it.


    When the man spoke about Narumi, Falicita couldn't help but chuckle in thinking 'see he gets it and he only just saw her'. That woman WAS crazy and Falicita didn't understand what her brother saw in Narumi, but she didn't have a say in her brothers suitors. Falicita sat quietly and continued to listen, these must have been the ones he spoke of earlier. When she heard them call Theo King, her eyes shot up at him with a surprised expression, this was certainly news to her, as the two didn't really get an official introduction. 'King?....he is a king?' . Now she was beginning to worry, she only thought he was a leader of his clan...not a king. Kings were of much higher standards than a leader. 'what do I do, do I bow to him. I can't believe I acted the way I did' she was beginning to panic, but was suddenly snapped out of her thoughts when she heard the loud slap, followed by an "ow" come from the hallway. She suddenly stood up, it was obvious she felt rather awkward and was searching, for what, even she didn't know. The thought of him being a king suddenly made her rather nervous
    "I can finish this up if you need to speak with them"
    She dropped her gaze to the floor
    "it would be wrong of me to hold you from important matters"


    Kitsume didn't have time to react when Leo attacked her, before she knew it, she had been knocked on her ass. She clenched her fists and let out a frustrated groan, she was more frustrated in herself for letting her guard down which allowed him to quickly attack. Leo had reached out his hand to help her up and spoke 'look at is as if it'ts life or death'.
    She glared at him, but took his hand and pulled herself up
    "You really want that kiss and superiority don't you"
    she brushed herself off quickly then took her 10 paces
    "lets not waste any time"
    She looked at Red and gave him a nod, as if letting him know she was gonna begin the next round
    "Lets begin....Round 2"
    She charged towards Leo, her blade in hand but unsheathed, it looked as if she was gonna recklessly attack him from the front. Instead, when she got about 3 feet from him, she suddenly leapt into the air in a flip, letting go of her blade, which was now at her back, the strap keeping it attached to her. In mid air, she had successfully pulled a Kunai and chucked it at Leo. The blade whizzed past his face, barely skimming back his cheek, not enough to draw blood, but pretty damned close.
    She landed a few feet behind him, facing away from him, but quickly turned chucking 4 more Kunai towards him. Forcing him to dodge them, some clipped and tore parts of his clothing, some just barely skimming his skin. While he was dodging them, Kitsume used this to her advantage, she followed her next move, just behind the kunai. Before he could act, Kitsume had landed a kick to his stomach, knocking him back a few steps, but not enough to knock him down. She had already calculated this, he didn't seem like to type that could easily be taken down, but she also wasn't gonna allow him to quickly recover. Leo could see that she had another Kunai on her, as she was clenching it between her teeth when she landed the kick on him. After the kick, she quickly moved to gain some distance from him. To onlookers, it look like she was doing some fancy one handed back flips, her movement was so swift and smooth. Leo knew she had the one Kunai, and when she chucked it, he was successfully able to dodge it. BUT a split second later, he suddenly had blood dripping from his brow. Kitsume was crouched down on the ground with a smirk on her face, while he was dodging, she pulled a second from between her breasts and chucked it, this one moved faster than the others, making it somewhat hard to detect. If it was one thing she mastered, it was how to properly aim and throw a kunai. If she would have aimed just an inch down and over, the Kunai would have hit him square in the eye. The blood dripping from his brow, would be enough to call the match.
    "That's round two"
    She stood up from the crouching position she was in, and prepared herself for the next round. She had the hilt of her blade in hand and took a defensive stance, she knew this next round was gonna be no holding back. She was swift and it seemed they were both pretty evenly matched at this point.

    Leo, after her barrage, was still standing. She couldn’t knock him over with her assault so getting him to submit would not be her plan after all, however the last Kunai that Razed his brow made him flinch, just enough to put his hand over his new wound. Pulling it away he saw a decent amount of blood. It was an open gash there was no mistaking it. It slowly starting dripping down to his eye, meaning his sight would be limited.

    He looked towards Kitsume, a smile across his face, before it quickly turned into a gaze of determination, and could be mistaken for anger. The only words that left his lips were “Round 3” this time he started the rush down. On the charge forward he unsheathed his sword. When he closed the distance, he side stepped to the right, her stance had her sword on the left. He gave her a swift kidney punch with his shield, which would drive both fist and shield into her. She quickly stepped back, recovering quickly.

    Readjusting he stepped back in front of her and swung his sword, anticipating her to attack on a free opening he feinted his swing and waited to see if she took the bait. If she didn’t he would change his swing, he wasn’t going to miss without her putting herself in an even more disadvantageous position. If she took the swing he would parry her sword.

    Red watched the match very closely, ready to act at a moment's notice in case things started to get out of hand. He was secretly hoping that the two of them wouldn't really go all-out, but those hopes were dashed when the duel escalated in quick fashion, to the point that both combatants were trading blows that could have easily struck a fatal wound if they were not parried or dodged. Even though he was officiating the match, truth be told, it would be very difficult to stop the match in time if events took a turn for the worse. He was more or less there to observe, trusting the two to maintain their self-control and avoid inflicting any serious harm on the other. But this wasn't a surprise, in fact, it wasn't even uncommon in duels. Both combatants know the risk when they declare and accept a challenge. So Red stood by, ready to act if necessary, but mostly observing the match. And he couldn't help smiling a little at the absolute clinic of a match that these two were putting on right in front of him.
    "Leo can handle himself pretty well in a fight, but Kitsume's keeping up with him every step of the way. Man...I could have charged admission for this!"
    His focus was even more intense as the two were heading into the final round. He didn't even notice or care that the two were calling out their point gains even though that was technically his job.
    "I can't believe they're 1-1 already. Guess that means it all comes down to this."
    He folded his arms and continued to observe.


    Theodoric couldn't help but notice the change in Falicita's demeanor, though he had no idea why it changed. He shook his head and spoke quietly so the others would not hear.
    "Nonsense. Your well-being is a very important matter, and I have almost finished your treatment. Besides, it would be embarrassing for me to face your brother knowing that I let such a small, simple request like this go unfinished. Now please, calm yourself and give me just a few more moments."
    He finished patching Falicita up and although his approach was a bit rough and unpracticed, he started to get the hang of it and ended up dressing the wounds nicely. He gave a subtly satisfied nod as he spoke up.
    "There, all finished."
    He turned around to give Falicita a moment of privacy.
    "Once you take a moment to fully dress yourself again, I believe introductions are in order."


    After some time had passed, he made his way to the door and opened it. To nobody's surprise, Alkelda and Ranulf were quietly bickering with each other when he did. They both fell silent immediately and turned their heads slowly to face Theodoric, Ranulf with an awkward smile and Alkelda with a look of regret. They spoke to Theodoric in perfect unison.
    "...I'm sorry, your lordship."
    Theo groaned as he rubbed the bridge of his nose.
    "I had truly hoped that the two of you would have come to an understanding by now."

    "I apologize, your majesty...but you must understand, this man is simply incorrigible--"
    "Oh, you're gonna pin this on me, huh?! Well, maybe if you weren't such a hardass--!"
    "I am blaming you because you know nothing of respect and--!"
    "You've been lording your authority over me the entire time--!"
    "If you could just act with some common decency for once--!"
    "And you never listen to a word I say even when--!"

    Theo folded his arms, staring daggers at the two and quietly growling, not unlike a wolf that was just about to pounce on its unsuspecting prey. Fortunately for everyone involved, these subtle changes were not lost on the two and the argument came to a sudden halt once again. The two bowed their heads, once again apologizing in unison.
    "...Our apologies,
    your majesty."
    "Inside. Sit. Now."
    "Of course, your majesty."

    The three of them sat down and Theo began the conversation anew.
    "As I was saying, I believe introductions are in order. Kaname, sitting here with me are two of my most trusted and skilled warriors. The first is Alkelda the Steele."

    "It is truly a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Lord Kaname. His Majesty speaks highly of you, so I am truly glad that we were finally able to meet in person."
    "She is intelligent, reliable and endlessly loyal, perhaps to a fault. Truth be told, I wish she would display a bit of ambition more often."
    "My lord...?"
    "Ah, but that is a matter for another time. Sitting next to her is Ranulf Godhelm."
    Ranulf didn't respond right away, as he seemed to be somewhat lost in his thoughts. His eyebrows were furrowed and he watched Kaname closely, a hint of suspicion lying beneath his otherwise calm expression. He was startled out of his reverie when Theo cleared his throat loudly.
    "Oh! Right, sorry, it's an honor to meet you, Lord Kaname."

    As the two got closer to the tavern, they heard a commotion just out front.
    "Oh I wonder whats going on over there"

    "Don't even think about it, we are here for food and seek shelter for the night. Not mingle with others. Besides you're paying"
    Serako waved her hand dismissively and began walking of
    "Serako!"
    Serako turned to face her brother and stuck her tongue out at him, Shiro crossed his arms in annoyance
    "We need to keep a low profile Serako"

    Serako turned on her heel and gave another dismissive wave as she walked off
    "Oh come on brother, you gotta live a little"

    Shiro facepalmed as his sisters carelessness
    "That girl is gonna be the death of me"
    He shook his head and entered the tavern. He knew his sister could handle herself and if there was trouble, he wouldn't be to far away.

    Serako approached the crowd, pulling the mask up on her face to hide her face and keep a low profile. She quietly walked up behind Red and began watching the show. Even with the mask on her face, it was obvious she was enjoying the show
    "Sooo.....whats going on here"
    she kept her attention on the two fighting



    While the two were pretty evenly matched the first two rounds, this round would determine who was the better fighter. Both had different weapons and different fighting tactics. Kitsume was light and fast on her feet, and used a Katana which worked well in allowing her to move swiftly, but her blade was no match for a broad sword and she knew this. The katana was lighter and the metal softer, while a broadsword was heavier and the metal stronger. She had the swiftness, and he had the strength. Both had advantages and disadvantages. While Leo had the stronger sword, his swings would be slower than hers, BUT he also had a shield, which didn't give her much of an opening to work with. She would have to attack and do it quickly to land a hit. When Leo went to swing his sword, Kitsume moved quickly to dodge, she jumped backwards into a one handed flip, landing smoothly on her feet just a few feet away from him. which allowed just enough distance for her to plan her move. Holding the blade in both hands, she charged at him, moving quickly and began taking her swings with some fancy foot work, he was surprisingly able to keep up with her pace, blade meeting blade or blade meeting shield, she got a few close calls in, but it wasn't enough. When she saw an opening, she did a round about kick to the side of his face, hoping to make him stumble, but he was able recover faster than she had anticipated....


    Falicita took the time to redress herself, unfortunately there wasn't any clean clothing in the room, so she was left wearing the blood stained shirt, for the time being. Later she will make a trip to the hot springs to clean up and put some clean clothing on. She took a seat in her brothers chair as Theo headed over to the door to let the two in. They had been bickering outside the door the entire time 'they are a noisy bunch aren't they?' she thought to herself, but found it rather humorous. They bickered like a married couple, the thought made her chuckle a little, but it was only loud enough for Theo to hear. As soon as he opened the door, the two fell silent and apologized to him in unison. Falicita was shocked at how fast they both reacted, but it didn't take long for the bickering to continue. All it took was for Theo to stare them down and let out a growl and they instantly silenced. Falicita was amused, he really did have high authority.


    As introductions were made Falicita responds as her brother would. She gave a nod to Alkelda
    "It's a pleasure to meet you as well. Thank you for coming on such short notice"
    she smiled and then turned her attention to Ranulf as Theo made the introductions. Ranulf had been staring her down with furrowed brows which began to make her a bit uncomfortable. He was quickly snapped out of it when Theo cleared his throat. She tilted her head slightly
    "Is there something wrong?"
    Maybe he was looking at her awkwardly due to the blood on her clothing, she looked down at the blood soaked shirt.
    "I apologize for being unkempt, we had a little... situation happen, just before you arrived, but it has been dealt with"
    she looked up at him and smiled, then turned her attention to the both of them and gave them a slight bow. Wincing slightly at the pain in her rib as she did so. She cleared her throat before speaking, it was more a way to compose herself from the pain quickly
    "Thank you both for coming"
    she then looked up at Theo, she wasn't fully sure what information he had given them on the situation, or if he even told them anything at all. She did however have some questions for Theo, but thought it best to ask later on. She still felt awkward after hearing them call him king, and still wasn't sure how to react. So she did her best to remain composed as her brother would.
