 Rúna Ridus Far beyond the hazy borders of my heart I can see a place It's something like this Every now and then I don't know what to do Still I know that I Can never go back
Runa pondered on her thoughts whilst Makovi was hard at work. It was true craftsmanship, and she was lucky to hopefully have him as a business partner. But whilst thinking of this, she could not help herself but continue pondering about what was happening in the city. What could possibly be concerning the corps that much. Watching as he continued his work she crossed her arms and paid attention to the detail. She could really sell these for quite the sum... might be worth stocking up some time. As he began to charge though he mentioned 'this form'. A shapeshifter perhaps? Either way, she decided to keep her nose out of that, she had no interest.
She didn't reply to him, but she did take a few steps back and leaned against a cleaner part of the wall, from here should could hear what was happening outside better too. 'I repeat, stand down!' the boomed voice shouted. Now the corps seemed more agitated. 'We will shoot!'. Now things sounded more serious, the great voice almost sounded like action was really going to be taken and that the criminal was taking no notice.
''FIRE!' and with that, Runa's eyes widened as she braced herself for what was going to happen next. And she was only correct to do so when she heard not only gun fire but giant cannons. Some more metallic sounding, other's magically enhanced. She then stared towards the doorway and back at Makovi. Her expression showing concern but not worry. She wasn't sure if this was normal or whether it was something to worry about. But she also hoped that the corps would have it under control. 'I don't suppose criminals in-hiding would be targeted by an army...'
And oh, I know, the world of Real Emotion Has surrounded me I won't give into it Now I know, that world It is the only way my heart can go I hear your voice calling out to me You'll never be alone If from time to time It's an upward climb All I know is that I must believe Cause the truth I'm seeking Always was inside of me

Makovi Nymic Theme Song The blast of noise was not a welcome distraction.. The charge in his hands leaping with his surprise and giving a brilliant flash as he ducked forward a little.. his gloved fingers brushing the edge of the first battery. It worked like a sponge, absorbing his magic through that one.. then the rest of the stock as his magic darted about on its own whim. Gritting his teeth it took a moment to catch his own error, Makovi tensing as he severed the lightning magic and buried it deep.. a small sizzle coming from his gloves where the finger tips had become charred from the flow.
Exhaling slowly the boy felt his shoulders drop, drained.. but calmer now that he had regained control of himself. Still, it was obvious he was a little shaken by the slip from the way he avoided touching the batteries again, instead backing away from the table as he started to rub his left hand carefully. It was numb, and his heart was still racing from that damned racket.. And what was worse this girl had witnessed it. Actually blushing at this realization the boy gave a quiet 'tch', turning his head away as if that could hide his wounded pride. He was, after all, only a teen. Better to distract her.. what had she asked..? " N-no.. And they never use this much force inside the city, something is up."

((after your reply i'll post at King's Landing smile ))
Raising one brow at him, she couldn't help but notice the shared surprise that took him from his work. It would seem everyone had sides to them that many don't see. Though who was Raina to think that, she was a very different person when not on business. The electricity was quite jumpy... but at least he had good control over it. Swallowing, she said 'Well... I don't know about you, but i intend on seeing who' so rude' she spoke with almost a grin to her lips. Brushing her face with her arm and then making sure her hair was back properly she swung on her heel, dropping some extra cash on the table side saying 'this is in case i'm late'. She then looked over her shoulder with some hair covering one eye. 'Or its early payment for the rest if you follow me... Either way you're paid'. She quickly made her way to the door, almost hoping for him to follow, obviously he would know the city better than herself, but she would find her own way of getting around the city.
She quickly ran to the edge and stared at the rickety elevator. 'hmth' she said as she contemplated the speed of the elevator. From even up here... which was actually still pretty low in comparison tot eh rest of the city she could only see the very top of the palace on King's Landing. There were several flying contraptions and a lot of smoke. Hanging her head over the rail that stopped her from falling off she quickly took hold of the rail and swung her legs over to drop. Some would call her mad but as she fell she concentrated her skills. Swinging one arm in a specific pattern and forming her fingers into particular gestures she creation a white circle of patterns that she fell through rather elegantly. When she hit the ground it was like she only fell 5 feet. She then looked up for Makovi, then to make her way towards King's Landing.
And oh, I know, the world of Real Emotion Has surrounded me I won't give into it Now I know, that world It is the only way my heart can go I hear your voice calling out to me You'll never be alone If from time to time It's an upward climb All I know is that I must believe Cause the truth I'm seeking Always was inside of me

Makovi Nymic Theme Song (( Alright, I'll follow your lead.))
She was bribing him.. to go with her? Into the trouble. Pushing a hand through his hair he resisted answering, listening to her walk away and.. after a moment.. jump over the rail. He did have a moment of discomfort at that but it was soothed quickly by the knowledge that this woman had just dictated him in his work space.. It would probably take more than a cliff to kill her.
With a last look at her batteries he gave a growl of irritation, yanking the door closed behind himself as he prowled after the trouble-seeking wench. The boy was telling himself it was only to protect his business deal and for the money she offered.. Honestly he'd forgotten to grab the first payment from the table. On some level.. he was starting to like the female. Shaking off these thoughts he did not hesitate, stepping up onto the rail and over in a smooth skip.. the rustle of wings the only hint of his drop as the boy angled himself more towards where she was going.. and out of the general sight of others. Semi-shifting hurt like hell, honestly, and he could not do it for long.. but at least he would catch up to the woman before she got too far ahead.
Landing was easy, picking a empty alley and letting his wings fade away again with relief.. after that it was a simple matter to wait for her to walk by to fall into step beside her.. his tone bored as he crossed his arms behind his head and followed her lead absently. " I'm charging big time, Rúna."

Back at Makovi's place, Rúna had refused to try and help mend his wounds until they got back here. There were less people here after all and... if he wanted to 'change' again he could. Though there was something about that form she wasn't quite ready to accept. "okay then" she said confidently as she closed the doors behind them. Brushing her hands off before she walked up to him her face showed little care, but she looked like she knew exactly what to do - a little intimidating actually. She then put one hand loosely on his shoulder as the other hand came round to his back and with a sudden movement she forced what would seem out of place, into place. Her short lived strength managed to get it down quickly so he wouldn't have chance to make it difficult, after all, she didn't know how he would react - she hated it when someone would complain rather than letting the doctor get it done with. Stepping back then she asked "better?". Now it would be time to find bandage and whatever other aids he would require, hopefully, he'll recover soon. Then they can have a proper discussion.

Makovi Nymic Theme Song Honestly.. she caught him off guard with how quickly she jumped to action, the pain of his back and shoulder wrenching into place earning a stressed growl from between his clenched teeth. Makovi couldn't help it, his magic jumped in answer to the pain. Luck was on her side, her hands leaving just in time before electricity darted over his form rather violently.. the boy stumbling to the side to grasp the edge of his work bench. " Son of a--" The table was rubber-coated, safe for just this reason.. His magic was erratic at the best of times and while it served its purpose in battle, that was only because he'd learned how to direct the chaotic flow instead of control it.
Finally, as relief soothed the pain, his breathing calmed.. the lightning sputtering out and finally ending in a last good shock against the table. Exhaling slowly, as if to gather himself, he pushed his gloved hand through his hair absently. " .. thanks.. I think."

She was lucky she had acted as fast as she did, helping to mend his wounds like that wouldn't come without its risks. She didn't feel bad though, not at all. No pain no gain, that was her way of life. Leaning back against one of his walls and crossing her arms she looked over his, watching as the sparks began to fade away as his momentary agony seemed to subside. It was weird, it was like looking after a younger brother, though she never knew what that was like, she never had one. Breathing out through her nostrils she breathed in again and asked "What are you?" almost bluntly, though there were some care giving way through her tone.

Makovi Nymic Theme Song " A Makovi." His answer was just as flat, but no trace of irritation could be found in his posture. He was not angry, or upset that she asked.. The kid just didn't know how else to answer her. There were no other Elementals around here, he didn't even know that was what his kind were called.. No, as far as he was concerned he didn't have a 'kind'. It was just him, alone among the frivolous beasts that looked like his smaller form.
Still, she had just helped him out.. and honestly, though she had dragged him into the situation at Kings Landing to start with, Runa had saved him from a major beating earlier. So of course.. he would attempt to make a decent explanation. Waving his hand he leaned against the table, the metal clicking at his neck as the charms clashed together.. but the residue static could still be seen flickering across his hair, the white strands almost glowing as small tongues of electricity sputtered down the spikey locks. Blowing one such strand out of his eye the boy gathered his thoughts.. trying to make sense out of something he himself still didn't understand. " Sometimes I'm like this, or my large form which you've seen.. That one feels more natural."
Either way, it was him.. And now that she'd seen him, he couldn't shake the feeling of being threatened. Maybe not by her, she had no reason to hurt him after all, but his way of life.. his secret.. That was in danger. And that was something he was not ready to risk. At least for now Runa had seen enough, he needed distance to build up his walls again. Yanking his gloves off the boy let them drop onto the table, gesturing at the box of batteries with a tired flick as he warned her in a vague tone. " Out. Those are done, just don't bang them around and the metal will keep the charged.. And don't get them wet for the next few days." Blunt or no, his voice actually had a soft note in it.. He was giving her a chance to go before he shifted to his larger form again to sleep. ( Edit )

Time had been moving slowly as Runa patiently awaited his explanation, leaning against the cold bite of the metal sheets behind her reminded her the reality of what she had been through today. Upon asking, he could only admit he was simply a 'makovi'. To her, it symbolised is self confidence, that he was unique.But the way he spoke about the larger being more natural, made her distance herself from believing her was more humanoid than anything. In her mind she recalled how he shifted to a giant winged beast, he was certainly like nothing she had seen ebfore.
And then she came back to reality once more, he was speaking about the batteries, they were done. Pushing her shoudlers off the wall she slowly walked up to him, her feet only a small gap from his. She paused for a moment before taking the supplies gently to her hip. "Thank you" she said, she then turned around and her departer to the doorway was signified by the clink of boots on metal. Before exiting she looked over her shoulder and said "The rest of the money will be sent by post". At that, she disappeared behind the doorway and the events of the day were gone, and within the hour she would be on the zeppelin back to Neutral City.
And oh, I know, the world of Real Emotion Has surrounded me I won't give into it Now I know, that world It is the only way my heart can go I hear your voice calling out to me You'll never be alone If from time to time It's an upward climb All I know is that I must believe Cause the truth I'm seeking Always was inside of me

Makovi Nymic Theme Song Listening to her depart, the boy felt relief.. and, oddly enough, a hint of sadness. She had been interesting, certainly better than the rable of this place.. More like Leon. Of course, he'd learned the hard way not to place too much hope on others; It wasn't his way anymore. Shaking his head the boy started up the stairs at the back of the warehouse, heading for his room.
-----------------A few weeks later--------------------
Yanking the large strap the boy struggled a moment, the sound of many items shifting around inside the giant bag as he all but dragged it out of the warehouse and paused.. closing the place with a firm shove and locking it in a quick slide. No one had a reason to break in, he wasn't well known after all.. but just in case he charged the metal with some of his magic, a rather violent dose of electricity clinging to the metal walls to defend his belongings. Magic like his wouldn't wear off.. certainly not with the chunks of his own metal that he'd placed inside as a battery source for the rare journey Makovi had to take..
He had taken it easy these last few weeks, healing and.. honestly.. reading what random books or news articles he could find. He had a job offer that, for once, he didn't feel like turning down.. Even agreeing to go to this other city personally to get a feel for the deal. It wasn't about the job.. He was just using it as an excuse to make himself leave this place for the first time. It was harder than he had thought, his heart jumping and clenching at the same time with nerves..
Forcing himself away from his home the boy pulled the strap over his shoulder, dwarfed by the material.. before shifting into his other form. The strap was still a little loose, he'd guestimated them in the first place, but it would hold.. and with a careful n** he lifted the bag and deposited it on his back, snug between his wings but not unbearable. It was a noticeable weight.. but not nearly as heavy to this body as it had been to his smaller self. Travel supplies, pieces of his craftsmanship.. random weapons he had forged with his metal, it was an attempt to cover his bases. What he didn't need he would sell, perhaps.. Giving himself a firm shake the beast spread his wings wide and crouched, his talons raking the earth as he launched upward and start off for the 'adventure' he was so uncertain about. (( Exit ))
