By that time Sakura had already finished her meal and smiled up at him. Her soft silver eyes then slid up and down, in inspection and then she smiled, lifting up her arm. She began to outstreatch her hand towards his face, watching his eyes followe her hand she then suddenly, pinched his face.

Silver watched her hand, but what happened afterwards surprized him, to say the least. He instinctivly brushed her hand away.
"Eck... don't do that."
He poked her in the arm kinda hard, enough that she would feel it, but not enough to hurt her.

She was shocked and she realized right away she wasn't dreaming and she hugged him intsantly as hard as she could
"Yay I'm not dreaming! Your still alive!I'm glad!"
She blinked for a second and then let go
"What am I doing...?"

Silver was stunned for a moment. A few seconds later though, he smiled slightly. He returned the hug, and looked her in the eyes.
"Your being Sakura."

This was beguining to get a little more comfortable than Silver was used to. Though not unwelcome, he began to feel slightly nervous, though not nearly as much as one might think.
"Anyways, what are your plans today?"

She smiles back him and lifts up the what used to be small pouch of gold, and what now was a rather larger pouch of gold, that she won from her little game of cards with the men from earlier.
"well I was planning on doing some exploring... this city looks like a great trade route... I might mark this down for our trade route for our Fish Trade route..."

Silver smiled.
"Well, we've got 6 more nights we can stay here, seeing as I've already paid for it. So you can take your time and do whatever you want. As for me... I'm heading to the library to see what I can find out about the pheonix."

The woman that Silver thought had stoklen his bokken would be no where to be found. However, the person in actual possession of said item would be in front of a 'resell' shop looking up at the sign, as if not certain she wanted to go in for some reason. She seemingly shook off whatever reservations she appeared to be having and made her way inside, laying the Bokken down on the counter for the old man to look at. He glanced both left and right, his glasses sliding further down his nose with each turn before he looked at the Bokken, taking espcial interest in the maker's signature.
His smile grew more intense as he looked at the slight figure in front of him as well as the two burly men standing by the door that he paid to protect his interest. "Ach..I'm surry missy, this here piece of wood t'ain't nothing more then a shalacked bit o driftwood" Nodding his head to the two men, who began walking up to the young woman, whose hood had fallen back when she had heard their footsteps, revealing shortly cropped black hair but still curly and tendrilly like in Silver's dream and the silver eyes exactly the same.
She stared at the two men for a moment, before throwing the hood off, her hand reaching out for the Bokken, easily pulling it back from the old man's grasp. He had figured that she would be more concerned for her safety then a wooden weapon so hadn't prepared for that. She pulled the Bokken towards her body even as she twisted, kicking out with her left leg towards the first man's torso, her slight height instead grinding her heel into his groin, the man doubling over in pain, then brumpling to the ground as her elbow slammed into the back of his head before she shoved him towards the door, his immense weight breaking through the door and falling into the streets with the rubble and immediately gathering a crowd.
But she wasn't quite quick enough to stop the other man who grabbed her by the back of her shirt and lifted her off the ground, revealing her small breasts to the crowd, a few of whom laughed and smirked as his meaty paw then slammed into her stomach even as she clung to the Bokken, her musical voice crying out in pain.
"Help...! Please Mother, save me..."
No one else understood the words but Silver if he heard them would still have some of the residual effects from before to understand them, even if only temporarily. The voice the same as before though sounding slightly younger. The crowd just laughed and cheered.
"Show that little bit how to take a punch, Lecius"
"Oh, show the poor dear some mercy" That from a little old woman of course...

Wading through the crowded streets, Silver kept his eyes open for anyone who even remotely resembled the woman who had gotten the better of him. His vision may have been messed up, but he was pretty sure he had gotten a good look at her, and was fairly certain he would recognize her if he saw. After several long minutes of frantic searching up and down the road, it had yeilded nothing. Either this woman was really fast, or she didn't really look like the one he had seen. Neither of which would be all that surprising...
As Silver stood in the middle of sidewalk contemplating his next move, his concentration was interupted by a bit of a scuffle down the street. He turned to face it, hesitant to get involved. He was having enough problems as it was, and wasn't something like that the job for the town guards or police? Still, Silver was never one to sit by and let others get hurt. It could be a while before anyone with any authority showed up, as usually was the case in these situations. Putting his own troubles aside, he took off down the street, heading for the scene.
When he heard a voice cry out, probably the person on the recieving end of what ever was going on, Silver's eyes widened. That voice, it had been familiar. It wasn't exactly the same as the one he had heard while he was halucinating, but given the state his mind was in at the time, it was just close enough to be the same person. He picked up the pace, pushing his way through the crowd that had gathered at the scene.
He stepped out of the crowd and into the empty "fight circle" that had formed before a rather large, burly looking fellow holding up a young woman. Whether this was the woman he was looking for or not, the brute sure didn't know how to treat a lady.
"What's going on here? Put her down!"

As he was beginning to punch the young woman for the umptetth time, Lecius stopped and looked up at the voice that wanted to bother him from his fun. He looked at Silver appraisingly, wondering if he could take him or not, then back of the scrap of a girl to consider if she was worth the trouble before glancing back at the shopkeeper. One eyes peered back at Silver once more, taking in his clothing as well as his confidence.
"You, Kyonuske?" He wasn't about to mess with a Kyonuske and he had heard rumors that they were around, cleaning up or putting away, depending on the rumors but he had a mother to take care of, he wasn't taking any chances. No one else in these parts would really mess with someone doing such as he had been.

Silver stood, steely gaze focused on the man. He hesitated a bit before answering, but if it would diffuse the situation without anyone else getting hurt, it would probably be for the better. He'd rough this thug up if he had to, but he'd see if it came to that first.
"Silver Alexander, Kyonuske Vice-Captain, 1st Squad. I'll ask you again to put the woman down, and maybe we can resolve this without any more trouble."

As soon as the name was said, the man didn't even have to hear the rest, the shrimp of a girl was dropped the ground, the Bokken becoming visible as she sprawled in the dirt, the rest of the crowd dispersing away from the Kyonuske.
"Mother...?"The silvered eyes that looked up at him, clear yet befuddled even as the brute of a man ran off, hoping that dealing with the girl would keep his own hide away from any issues with the Kyonuske. The girl's eyes however widened with reconginition and she huddled against herself, the Bokken grapsed tightly to herself as her Gaian tumbled out, badly. "I ..."She muttered softly. "...food"
It would become visible then that the girl was a bit undernourished and very dirty and scraggly, despite being well muscled. More then a bit unkempt, she was clear eyed and intelligent. "I sorry..." Handing the Bokken back to Silver, even while presenting her own neck to be broken if he so chose for her theivery.

Silver waited untill the man was out of sight, and for the crowd to dispurse before he relaxed and his features softened. He was a nice guy, he didn't like having to look or act tough for intimidation value, but some matters called for it.
Silver slowly approached the girl, not appearing angry at her in the slightest. In fact, he was grinning. As dim as he was sometimes known to be, it was obvious to him what had transpired given the reactions of the girl, and that they just happened to be outside a resell shop.
"Hey hey, easy there, I'm not gonna hurt ya..."
Silver carefully took the not-so-ordinary wooden weapon from the girl, and gave it a quick once over inspecting for any major damage, before sliding it through a belt loop on the left side of his pants. That taken care of, he turned his attention back to the young woman before him. He took a moment to size her up, and then let out small laugh.
"Haha, so it was YOU who somehow managed to get the better of me, huh? There musta been more to those scents than I thought. That's quite a talent you have. And a good eye, too. But, you know, you probably coulda gotten a lot more for this thing if you went to the right place instead of just trying to hock it at the local pawn shop... but it seems those thugs had other ideas, anyway..."
Silver then leaned forward, closer to the girl and a little more to her level to get a better look at her.
"You are a little worse for wear, though... geez, you must be starving. You happen to have a name?"
