 Satisfied with the answer, Rebecca cocked a curious eyebrow and sauntered off around the man, hips swaying flirtatiously to any who chose to observe her. She first made her way to her room and slipped on her soft sole leather shoes. She then retrieved her knife and concealed it beneath the fabrics on her hip. The cool stone felt reassuring as Rebecca patted it for security. The collar buzzed incessantly at the unnecessary accessory, but the assassin waived her hand in a shooing motion and thought nothing of it. She wasn't going to use it against anyone. But perhaps there would be something that she made need to remove from her path, ergo needing a cutting implement. Content with the notion, the collar stopped. Rebecca made her way back downstairs and out the front door, not waiting for the so-called warrior. She sprinted down the gravel pathway to the nearest cliff she could find. The wind billowed in her pony tail and she stood at the precipice gandering out at the open sea. She tasted the salt on her tongue as a fresh gust wafted past her. Far below, she could see a rocky reef and crashing waves at the shoreline. Gulls flew out a few hundred yards over the water, and a pelican too who had just swooped up his meal. For once, despite the circumstances, Rebecca felt free.

 Vlad ignored the ninjas odd actions as she went up to the stairs. He shifted impatiently until she sprinted past him, out the door. Smiling he took off out the door but instead of heading off towards the forest. Running at what felt to him to be a normal speed was really something of the average speed of a automobile. Reaching the trees in second he leapt to the nearest branch, which was easily 15 feet in up, and stopped. Looking over his shoulder he could make out the woman at the cliffs just standing there. With a shrug, Vlad turned around and darted into the forest leaping from branch to branch and a wildly unnatural pace. He felt like he was moving normal, everything he did felt so natural to him almost like he was at home in the open air of the outdoors. The farther away he moved from the ninja the tighter the collar pulled on his neck, but he didn't notice till he was mid-leap and the collar stopped him midair causing him to crash to the forest floor with a hard thud. When he landed he felt a sharp pain in his back but ignored it, writing it off as just a pulled muscle. Once Vlad was up again and had brushed himself off he realized how far he had gone, he couldn't see anything around him but trees. Though he wasn't worried, he knew what direction he had gone and how to get back to the house. So he simply started walking leisurely towards the house taking his time stopping to admire a tree or flower now and then, he didn't come a come across any magenta flowers though so he soon forgot about her warning. While walking, all of a sudden his senses screamed that he was being watched, causing him to instinctively drop to a crouch and search his surroundings. At first he couldn't see anything other then trees, but then he spotted it; a large white patch about 10 yards ahead of him. He slowly crept forward till he was 5 yards away and then he realized what it was. It was a large white tiger who's eyes were locked on him in a crouched position just like Vlad. He assumed that it was Oki's pet Felicity, but still he remained crouched staring into the eyes of the tiger for what felt like forever, until slowly he moved closer and closer till he was within arms reach. Vlad cautiously stretched out a hand and petted Felicity's head. All of a sudden she pounced on him and started licking his face causing Vlad to laugh out loud as he pushed at the muzzle of the large feline, until he was able to get out from under her happy tongue and stand. Laughing gleefully he crouched again, mimicked by Felicity, who's tail flicked curiously. Then he sprang forward at Felicity playfully wrestling around with his new furry friend.

Rebecca turned to watch the man, whose name she still didn't know, sprint off towards the trees in a remarkably fast pace. It seemed that he was running as fast as a car on a rural country road. The assassin was momentarily impressed, but the feeling dwindled as she turned back to the open sea. She pulled her boots snug and started to skillfully descend the steep cliff wall, finding footholds no wider than her thumbnail. She made it about halfway down when she discovered a natural cave formation on the face of the cliff. It wasn't deep, but it was very wide. She climbed into it and began to explore, using the daylight as a natural torch until the light didn't reach any further. By then, she was at the back of the cave. She ran her hand along the mossy cave wall and looked down, gazing at some small shards of salted sea glass, broken shells, and a few tumbleweeds of dried sea weed. All of a sudden, her collar began buzzing. It didn't hurt, but more of a warning. Rebecca stopped and looked around. On the wall by her hand was not moss anymore. Inches from her fingertips were brightly colored red flowers. They looked to elegant there, in patches on the wall and floor. Rebecca gazed further and saw the majority of the cave was cloaked in these flowers. It's amazing Rebecca hadn't seen it before with the cave being so well lit. She took her hand from the wall and the collar relaxed some. She then felt a tugging, as if to step away from them. Rebecca wasn't near satisfied yet. Why had the witch warned them about such flowers? They looked simply wonderful. She squatted down and withdrew her knife. With the tip of the blade, she nudged the petals aside and gazed underneath. They didn't look so deadly, but perhaps that was the point? Perhaps they were a weakness to Oki? Or a rare flower worth a lot of money? Rebecca sheathed her knife once again and marked the location of the cave in her head. She began once again descending the cliff face.

 Oki had cleaned the kitchen, letting June go do as she pleased. Honestly Oki wasn't feeling as friendly today as yesterday. Something told her it would be a trying day. Having settled in her office, twirling a pen idly as she waited for a reply from a potential investor. She had written a few notes here and there on her servants, the pen clattered to the desk as her ring finger tightened. Oki's eyes narrowed, Rebecca. What had she gotten into? The collars would serve both a warning shock. A command to come home.

Rebecca nearly tumbled off the face of the cliff about twenty feet from the sandy floor. There was a painful discomfort to her throat as the collar sent out a punishing shock and began to tighten and pull. Rebecca wondered what was going on. Still, in order to maintain the facade, Rebecca hoisted herself back up the side of the cliff and jogged back to the house at a leisurely pace. No need to get sweaty and winded if she was to please the witch. When she reached the house, the collar hadn't loostened, but luckily the shock was only a temporary one back at the cliffs. She entered the front door of the house and looked around. Where was the one who so summoned her in such a rash action? She knew she hadn't done anything wrong. Perhaps Oki was up to something else. Rebecca sighed. It was going to be an interesting day for sure.

Vlad played with Felicity for almost an hour before he and the large cat finally fell in a pill exhausted. Vlad leaned against the beast closing his eyes feeling vary sleepy and drained of energy. As he dosed off he couldnt help but wander if he could get away with just playing with Felicity for the rest of his time here. The sudden shock sent him jolting upright, as he looked around on guard. It was only when he calmed down that he realized it had come from the collar. Felicity licked his arm as an obvious sign of worry but he patted her head reassuringly, then got up and walked toward the house while she stayed and lounged in the grass. Vlad was quite annoyed that he couldnt stay and lay with his new found friend, he couldnt understand what he could possible have done wrong to warrant such an eargent call but he shrugged and figured it was something stupidly cheerful as always. With a shrug he took off at a speed that felt like a easy jog but to others was a full tilt sprint. Moving threw the trees and finally over the flatland before reaching the he came to the steps just as the front door closed. As Vlad walked up the steps he felt something running down his lower back. Stopping he reached behind himself and wiped away the weird liquid and looked at it. He looked at his hand curiously finding that it was blood on his back, 'Where the hell did that come from?' he thought as he reached behind himself again a little higher and felt a medium sized jagged rock sticking out of the left side of his lower back. He yanked it out and looked at it trying to figure out why he couldnt feel it before and where it came from. Then it clicked, this must have been where that sharp pain came from when he fell from the tree earlier. He shrugged and pulled it out leaving a nice 4 to 5 inch gash in his back, which didnt hurt him in the least bit. Since that little matter was taken care of he continued up the stairs and into the house.

Oki was at the door, jaw set and arms crossed. A small spark of black light crackled off of her mocha colored skin, a manifestation of her annoyance. Once both had arrived, her dark eyes settled on them with icy intent. She could smell the mild fragrance of the flower- her frown became deep set. Waving a hand, the door slamming behind them both. Her tone was sharp, held no honey, " They will kneel where they stand." ((OOC: thank you

Slightly perturbed at the sudden magical slamming of the door, Rebecca held back a scoff and couldn't do more than attempt to surpress an amused smile. Kneel, huh? Rebecca thought. Obediently, rather smugly, Rebecca took to one knee and glanced up at Oki. Her smile diminished rather quickly when she saw daggers jutting from the woman's eyes in disdain. This is going to be quite entertaining, Rebecca thought to herself. She had to double take a moment, thinking she had seen some kind of thin black air waves pulsating off the witch's flesh. But as soon as she saw it, it was gone once again. The assassin shook her head. She had to stop imagining these things. The atmosphere reeked of magic, and Rebecca was not content with it. Still, it wasn't as if she had any other choice in the matter. So there she knelt, pitifully adapting, sucking up what pride she had left. When she knelt, she looked over to the Man-With-No-Name and saw a small pool of blood began to form at his heels. She looked a little higher and saw there was a small stream cascading down the back of his pants and had stained the back of his shirt. "Ummm...did you know you're bleeding? Very badly?" Rebecca asked with slight sarcasm. After all, how could a person not know they were so badly hurt?

 When Vlad entered the house, he instantly sensed danger, it was thick and hard to miss. The feeling was punctuating by the sound of the door slamming which caused him to tense slightly. His good mood was instantly mellowed when she demanded that he kneel. He didn't do anything that required him to be treated with such sternness and despite his new found respect for the woman in front of him he was not going to be commanded angrily for now reason. "No, I've done nothing wrong, even if you are my mistress I will not comply to your misplaced anger." He folded his arms stubbornly and looked at her hard in the eyes. When the ninja commented on on his bleeding he looked behind himself, "Oh wow i didn't think it was gonna bleed that much," Vlad pulled off his shirt and tore it into a long strip and tied it around his lower abdominal to cover the gash and stop the bleeding. He looked back to Oki content with his work and waited for her to explain her anger.

Oki's eyes narrowed at Vladimir's refusal to obey. She watched him for a long moment. She didn't care about the blood on her floor. She walked to him, reaching and putting a hand on his shoulder. She crooned wordlessly, a sensation of mint passing through him- the burn of mending flesh. She looked at him sternly, " Oki is short. It is difficult to tend wounds manually when they are too high up. He may return to his room." She would release him, walking around Rebecca. Moving to her back and resting her small hand on the back of Rebecca's neck. Oki did not dig her nails, only pressed her fingertips lightly against the flesh. A throb of heat would press into Rebecca, enough to be uncomfortable but not wound. " Oki wants Rebecca's weapon."

Rebecca eyed Oki as she open-jawed some kind of yawn at the man. It was odd, and the assassin attempted to withold a laugh. When Oki placed her finger tips on Rebecca's neck it was all she could do to not sever the woman's hand at the wrist. Oddly, the spot where her fingers were, began to grow with warmth. It wasn't much, but Rebecca began to feel feverish, as if she had just sprinted miles. Quickly rummaging around in her mind trying to formulate the easiest escape route from the house, Rebecca almost missed the part where Oki demanded something. A weapon? What weapon? It was then that she knew she meant the slate knife that was sheathed in the fabric by her hip. "Why would I give up something I can simply forge again? And in that matter, why would, rather, why should I give up something that you can only take? You being my..." she hissed the word with slight sarcasm, "...mistress...."OOC: Sorry for delay, just started a FT job today OOC: Added quote on 11/23

The woman sighed heavily at the question. She had know Rebecca's respectful attitude had been a rouse. It didn't matter. Oki released Rebecca's neck, the warm sensation continued to pulse through her veins- spreading and settling. Oki pressed her forehead to the servants and smiled gently, " Oki wants to give her the option for compliance. This is a civil home." She stepped back and held out her hand, " Now please. Hand Oki the weapon. Oki will give her a real one, if she so desires but this one is tainted."

Rebecca raised another eyebrow. The woman would give her a real knife? Rebecca wondered about the catch. A tainted weapon could mean very many things. It could be poisoned, and Rebecca could get infected. It could be flimsy and brittle, and not last long. It could be made of plastic even. Still, Rebecca's curiosity got the better of her. She took out the slate knife and held it tightly in her hand. "Let me see this weapon you so promise...and do explain what you mean by tainted. I think that's a fair deal. My temporary vulnerability for your information."Rebecca continusuly gazed over her new slaver, taking in all the sight of her. Even kneeling tall, Rebecca's eyes came level with Oki's upper stomach line. The woman was so short it was almost comical. The warm tingling flowed temporarily though her entire body, then came to disappear completely. It was a very weird, uncomfortable sensation, and not something Rebecca would ever want to experience again.

Oki sighed softly, a flick of the wrist and a shimmering Damascus steel kunai appeared in Oki's hand. Oki tapped her own lip with the black blade. This was as close as Rebecca would see the blade if she continued to play coy. She gave a soft sigh, her face calm, tone cold, " Oki does not barter." She cooed softly, " Rebecca is not vulnerable here. No harm will come to her. However if she continues to carry on as such, Oki will have to be a little less gracious."
