"Oh, a city out in the desert called Murrākuš," Tshila said, grinning. "I mean, it's not a completely backwards sort of place. There are plenty of modern amenities--running water, indoor plumbing, computers. It's just, um, how to explain? Sort of a blend of the old and the new with a heavy, heavy, heavy emphasis on the old."
"You know, it's just one of those super old cities that grew up around an oasis and still clings to ancient things instead of leaping into the new age and all that. Though it sounds kinda melodramatic when I put it that way. And not really very complimentary, which is unfair I guess."
"I mean, it's my home and I totally love it--or did until my grandfather tried to send me to reform school. But hey! Now I get to come here, which is still pretty cool! So anyway, I've been rambling for a while. It's your turn--where're you from?"

 ~Keina Alappassi~ The baby girl without a chance
A victim of the circumstance
The one who oughta give up
But she's just to hard headed
Ugh! What a busy week! Keina hadn't been at Rosentale for very long but it was already starting to drain her both physically and mentally. But thats what she got for wanting to go into the medical field. All drama all the time, or so it seemed so far. The woman had decided to leave for a bit so that Chloe and the patients could rest. She needed to get out anyway. Maybe she would meet someone new. Normally, getting Keina to go out into public was a rather difficult task, if it was against her own will anyway. She couldn't go five minutes without worrying that someone was going to shoot her. But today, today was an acception to the rule. She had been cooped up in the infirmary for a while and hawkling were naturally a very outdoorsy race of beings. So, she had strolled on outside and into town to do some much overdue exploring. Upon finding a small trading post she entered with much curiosity gleaming in her amber eyes. Maybe she could find a cool trinket for Chloe. It would be a nice gesture to show the woman that Keina was very grateful to be working in the infirmary with her. She smiled a bit to herself and began browsing through the different objects, trying to find something that she thought Chloe might like. Out of all the places in the town the trading post was probably not the best of places for Keina to enter. Heck, for her even a bar would have been safer. The woman didn't even notice the many pares of eyes that kept glancing at her oddly patterned wings. Smiling, she picked up a small figurine of a deer made from pewter. This certainly looked like something that Chloe would enjoy. With a smile Keina turned to go to the counter to pay for the item, when she ran face first into a large burly man. Uh oh. She let out a small yelp and back away. How stupid of her to drop her guard! Keina began to back away only to have the man grab her shoulders. "Ey now pretty lady, don't go running away. We only just met. Hows about you let me take a look at those gorgeous wings of yours?" He sneered as one of his buddies grabbed her wings. "Ow! Hey!" She hollered at them angrily and tried to twist around in the the man's grip so that she could punch the guy who had grabbed her wings. But it was no use. Both men were terribly strong. "Sorry, didn't mean ta hurt ya little miss. Why don't you come on outside with us? We have a really cool car," the big man said as he half dragged, half carried her outside. Keina let out a low growl and bit the man's arm as hard as she could. With a scream of pain he dropped her. Keina fell to the ground and quickly rolled to the right, then jumped up and darted off down the street. "Ay! Get her!" The big man ordered his group of men as he held his sore arm. "Don't look back, don't look back~" Keina told herself as she zigzagged through the large crowds of people and took a sharp right, running into an ally with the men following closely behind her.

He didn't even have the excuse of it being a holiday this time. He just felt less of a need to after he made a few friends... Well, not really friends, but he knew some people. Kasie, Reilynn, Veith, two nice birds, that girl that broke a piece of his horn off... Or maybe it was just because he was running out of ideas. He wandered around downtown, looking for a used book store (because those places tended to have odd things that he had never read before), but his peaceful day was interrupted when he saw those nice brown wings run by. "Hm...?" He watched as she ducked into and alley before being shoved out of the way by a couple of brutes. Oh hell no. She was his prey, dammit. He claimed her at the lodge. He was immediately on their tails and caught up before they could even make it within a few feet of his prey. He wasn't much of a fighter and didn't know any sort of martial arts, but he was sure he could out-muscle all of them, even if they were a bit burly. He jumped onto one of their shoulders and yanked them down as hard as he could then leaped onto the next man to sink his sharp teeth into the side of his neck. Even if he couldn't take them all out, he was sure he could be a good enough distraction while his prey made her escape. ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀

~Keina Alappassi~ The baby girl without a chance

Keina blinked when she saw Markus run over and begin beating the men up. She stood there in surprise for a few moments before she was snapped out of her daze by one of the large men. He had come running over and grabbed her around the arms, then tackled her forcefully to the ground. Keina let out a yelp as she landed on her face. She struggled and fought in the man's grip until she was able to grab the pewter deer figurine from her pocket. Whirling around the best that she could she drew her arm back then trhust it forward, jamming the little figurine into the man's eye. The man screamed and stumbled back. He pulled the item out of his eye then chucked at Keina, but luckily she was able to roll out of the way. The woman tried to get to her feet but her knees were badly scraped and it hurt her to move. When another man came barreling after her she finally got enough motivation to move. Keina jumped to her feet, bent her knees, then flew up into the air just enough to escape the man's flailing arms. There were two men left fighting Markus. They were large men but the boy's antics were too much for them, and he would easily be able to defeat them both.

Eventually, that man collapsed in a puddle of blood, and the other one knew better than to let himself be eaten by a crazed lizard man and ran for his life. He spat out the blood in his mouth, hating the taste of human blood, and looked around for his prey. Where in the world did she go? Oh, wait, wings. He looked up and saw that she managed to fly up and avoid anymore harm. He decided to show her some mercy by not eating her today since she had gone through enough already. There were plenty more birds around to hunt down anyways. "Are you okay?" He called up to her, not really concerned for her well-being. He just wanted to make sure she would be in a decent condition to eat another day. ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀

Keina nodded and lowered herself to the ground. Upon hitting her feet she sank to the ground, her knees were scraped pretty badly and her face was scuffed up as well, from when she hit the ground. But she would be okay. Keina trembled as she gazed around at all of the blood. "I... is there anything I can do for you?" She asked Markus as she finally laid her exotic eyes on him. She remembered the boy from the vacation. He had attacked her and tried to eat her but now.... he was being nice? Why had he just saved her? The answer was beyond Keina. All she knew was that he had saved her life and her decency, and she was very thankful. Being sexualy manipulated was not something that she ever wanted to go through again. And as for death? Well of course she didn't want to die!

He watched as his prey sank to the ground with a frown, wanting to eat her while she was in that weakened state. But, he would show her kindness just this once. In fact, motherly instincts kicked up in him and he wanted to clean up her scuffed up face with his tongue, but just like when he offered to huddle for warmth with Veith, it would just come off as horribly awkward thanks to different cultures. "You ask if you can do anything for me when you were just attacked?" He just had to chuckle at that. His prey looked delicious and was funny! He walked over to her, slowly of course to show that he wasn't going to lunge at her like before, and knelt down so he could see her eye-to-eye. Gah, he wanted to clean her up, but the awkwardness would be unbearable. Instead, he licked his thumb with his forked tongue and tried to wipe her cheek clean as he asked, "What was all of that about?" ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀

Keina was surprised when Markus knelt down in front of her and began cleaning her bloodied face with his finger. What a.... kind.... gesture. It stung a bit, but she wasn't about to complain. She sighed and sat nice and still for him, "I am a hawkling. My race is highly hunted for our wings.... our feathers are worth large sums of money," she told the student. "They were trying to... um..." she scratched the back of her head, unsure as to how to say what she wanted to say. "They were trying to get after me.... sexually.... and then they would most likely have killed me and taken my wings."
"It happens to hawkling a lot actually.... which is why there are so few of us left in this world."

Too much information. Her wings were gorgeous, but really, who would do something like that? That was just gross says the guy who ate a live lizard whole. "To be perfectly honest, I wanted to wait to eat you another day, but I don't think I can bring myself to eat an endangered species," He reassured her. He didn't want a species with such nice wings to die out. Maybe he would eat her children or grandchildren someday if they were less rare by then. ... He was getting frustrated with cleaning her up with such a slow method and decided to lick the blood off no matter how awkward it was. If she had a problem with it, then so be it. ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀

"Well I appreciate that..... I do not wish... to be eaten," she said as she sat there patiently. Man did her knees sting. She was about to add something to her last statement when Markus began licking her face. Keina's body went stiff, had he lied? Was he actually going to eat her now? The woman's first instinct was to run away as fast as she could. But in her current state, running wasn't really that much of an option. She could barely even stand as it was. "W... what are you doing?" She asked him tentatively.

"Cleaning," Markus replied to her with a frown as he licked the last bit of blood from her face. It didn't taste as great as he had hoped, but maybe that was because she scraped herself on the ground. He glanced down at her scraped knees, tempted to clean up those wounds too, but it didn't seem like she was too keen on the whole licking thing. "Would you prefer it if I took you to the infirmary instead?" He asked her, wanting to kick himself for being so nice. Hopefully she would decline like that Angela girl so he wouldn't have to carry her. ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀

Keina shook her head, "Ill just go back to my dorm and clean myself up," she told him. Keina then tried to stand on her own. With a light groan of pain she managed to get to her feet and hobble a few steps. She could walk, but only very slowly. Boy was she in for it now. The next few days of working in the infirmary would be full of agony. Seriously, could things get any worse than this?

Markus was tempted to just leave her alone and let her find her way back to her dorm at a snail's pace, but if some other group of poachers found her, she would have no chance of getting away. And if she didn't get away, that was minus one hawkling and all of her possible offspring for him to eat. "Oh, no you don't," He told her as he walked in front of her and blocked her way. "Which dorm are you in? I can give you... a piggyback ride?" Ugh, too much kindness. It hurt. ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀

"Im in the Graceful Divinity Dorm," she told him as she watched him closely. She was the only person in her dorm so.... if Markus took her there chances were that no one would see them. Besides, she was injured and he was helping her out, so there wasn't really a chance of them getting in trouble anyway. Keina sighed and stood there, waiting to be carried.

He vaguely remembered someone mentioning it at the lodge (that Angela girl who kicked him in the head, possibly), but he was focused on eating her at the time and it had completely slipped his mind. It should have been obvious, since she did look a bit older, but he wasn't really thinking too much. He was too busy keeping his thoughts away from munching on her wings. He knelt down so she could get on his back, regretting being so kind. He just kept telling himself that it was worth it so he could eat hawklings in the future. ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀
