What are you, some kind of living statue thing?
Mammon could not help but stare at the man before him with wide eyes. As wide as the imp's would go anyway in the form they took on. Not only had he completely ignored the Imp's fighting stance, but he leaned down as if to pet him! Within Mammon's mind a thought flashed through, anger pulsing from it's very existance. If this man tried to pet it, the man would get a taste of the sharp claws upon it's fingers. Instead though the man offered the Imp a stick. A stick!? What was the meaning of this!? Did he think that the imp was dumb? Before Mammon could even think of uttering a response another figure approached. Great, now it had been seen by two people. It's frustration would be sent forth in the form of a growl, born in it's throat and rumbling out of it's mouth. A moment given to let them speak while Mammon contemplated wether to run or stay, a moment too long obviously. Because as soon as the Imp had decided on running away both had focused their attention on it again. So be it, it would appease them.
"Leave...me...alone..."
It's voice was low, gutteral really. Indeed it sounded almost as if the Imp had growled at them rather then speak. Yet the words had been audible to the ears if they cared enough to listen closely. Slowly, full of caution, the Imp would lower it's claws from the fighting stance they had been in. It was already standing up, wings curled outward with it's knees bent as if to jump. Instead thought it merely stood there, eyes locked upon those who had noticed it's movements. Now how to get out of this situation?

I'm simply trying to figure out what you are. Since you can obviously speak, i'm just going to ask then. What are you?
Theodore stood up and put the stick away. He'd obviously upset it, so he offered his apologies.
Sorry if I offended you there.

He hoped the imp wouldn't kill them now that she was belittling it. His interest was purely scientific, but hers was just... off kilter!.
Ummm, Theodore. Theodore Exian. Pleased to meet you Ippi.
He extended his hand and hoped that they weren't about to be mauled by the imp. 'Oh ok, so that's what an imp looks like.'

It was all Mammon could do to contain it's rage at being picked up and hugged. How dare she!!! Her voice, it would not stop! Just make it stop! It was by instinct that the imp fought to get his claws to her face but this would not be allowed. No, of course not, she was hugging it far too tight for that. Yet she would release it eventually to talk to the man. Perfect, now to!
Unfortunately Mammon would not be given time to leap upon her and rip at her face. As soon as the thought entered the Imp's mind she was back to leaning down, looking at it like some sort of circus freak. Oh her voice, so annoying and happy. Yet then something that could have been a smile spread across the Imp's features, it's right hand flexing softly. It was not enough to be noticed, but it was there as it's claws position.
"Mammon...stop stareing at me..."
That animalistic smirk that it adorned would only grow greater as the coiled hand shot outward. It went into the air, above that face level with Mammon's own. Then it would be brought down. Oh how happy the imp was to feel it's claws impact with flesh, slip past her nose, and slide across her lip. Even as it jerked his claw away the damage was surveyed. Blood from her nose and forehead, as well as some from her lips. Yet it was all the Imp could do to stop itself from bursting out in laughter at the pain it had just called the....human?

Theodore's eye twitched. 'Rude little bugger,' he thought. He wasn't a big fan of violence, but he wasn't just going to let that stand. He was, after all, a gentleman. Pulling out a small flask of green liquid from a pocket, he gazed lividly at Mammon.
So Mr. Mammon, is this going to continue, or are you going to get away from this place as soon as possible?
Theodore has never been this angry. His blood was boiling, and his eyes reflected that. Maybe he'd inherited his mother's temper? He had never an occasion to find out. He lifted his arm, as though he was going to smash the vial over Mammon's head.
Well?

"We're going to meet with some Easterners. That's all that matters for now. You'll find out more when we get there." He glanced over at her as they rode side by side. "Besides, I'm not exactly sure what's going to happen myself." A small grin. "If it doesn't go my way, it'll make me look bad if you knew what was supposed to happen. Right, sister dear?"
*riding, riding, riding*
((Leaving a chance for Slifer to post if he's suicidal enough to attack an entourage of bodyguards...next post I make will get us home and on our way to Lab, so he'd best hurry if he wants to do it.))

Rose sighed as she went down the trail she was suppose to be relaxing to get away from the stress why did it come back. Thats why she took the job out in the field to releive herself of some of the troubles of politics. But trouble she guessed wasn't about to let her have a break. Not only were ambassadors meeting but they were meeting without the knowledge of the Silver Arbiters, it could have been that it was a spontaneos thing but it also could have been that her usual Informants were slacking of.
She growled to herself and pressed her horse to move faster, hoping that she would have to worry more about riding than what was on her mind. It alleviated some of the pains but she quickly had to slow down, she had just planned to get to Labrumn tonight to find out what was going on. She need to pace the horse so it didn't tire, her anger flared a bit thinking more of how here restful assighnment turned into a stressful one. She would get to the bottom of this and be at that meeting. She wanted this stupid war to end and didn't plan on leaving that task to arrogant blow hards.

((argh, i be crazy)) Slifer looked out the shadows, watching them riding along. They looked to be quite rich, this would do fine. Slifer ran out from the street fast as he could. He watched the guards movements. One of them started to point. Slifer slid down into a slide kick under the horses. A set of claws slid out his knuckles. He extended an arm and slit one of the saddlebag straps. Now was his chance. The guards had had time to react to his fast assult, horses were already beginning to move. Slifer waited until the one he was under moved and jumped up high. His neko side gave him an edge on this. He leapt over some guards but was being cut off. This wasn't going to well. Holding the saddlebag tight he prepared to make a giant leap over the guards and into the alleyway, seconds and he was free

One of the body guards called out as the man cat slid under them, Making Serefina turn her head to look, watching her brothers saddlebags drop to the man's hand, there wasn't anything of value in there besides Serefina's cloak incase they hadn't found her till late, when it was cold, considering it was an impromptu trip to find her but it was the principle of the matter.
Her head swiveled to watch his movements, tracing them with her blue eyes as 'Noir' startled and pranced slightly as the man slid under her horse then bounded up, enough was enough as quick as he was she had been following him since the guard had pointed him out and as the cat man jumped "NO!!!" Serefina swung out and grabbed his ankle tightly with ehr right hand as her left hung onto the reins of her horse and yanked him down as her stallion settled back to the ground.
She was an excellent horsewoman and kept her seat as the cat man fell to the ground. A few of the bodyguards then got down, leaving most of them to remain on their horses in case the man was but a decoy to leave them unprotected. Serefina turned in her seat to see what would happen to the cat being who would be stupid enough to attack a armed group of bodyguards.A few would be enough. Once on the ground, the man would take a moment to gather his wits, his own momentum had been used against him and the little distance to the ground.
The guards took advantage of the moment of disorientation. One guard grabbed at the man's hand and holding them bound, the other guard, serefina's personal guard began pulling no punches into the bound man's stomach, tenderizing him as well as to relieve his anger at losing his charge. He then handed him, still bound before Anastazi "what should we do with him milord" the 6' 2 guard refusing to acknowledge Serefina's contribution to the capture.

*Ippi heard his little outburst.* Why are you laughing, Mister Imp? It wasn't very nice to scratch me. *Nurses her wounds, rubbing them gently.* You're lucky your scratch didn't go too deep, you could have hurt me really badly, and you should be ashamed. *shakes her finger at him* You seemed so upset earlier. Don't worry, I will let you come with us. You must have just been lonely *giggles* Well, I guess I should call you Mammon, now that we are friends. Tee hee. *she petted his head* Wow, you are so cute in an impish way. I wish you would talk to me more. Maybe the golem got your tongue? *she continued to laugh peppily, ranting on about herself for several minutes to Mammon* Anyway, what do you wanna tell me about you? *looks intently at him*

Slifer, his hood still masking his face shed some tears. His face dropped down to the ground and he rolled it along the dust, trying to ease the recent bang his head had recieved. His tail curled up and his ears moved backwards. His stomach was a mass of pain from the pummeling he had recieved.
The teenager tried to struggle but to no avail. He sat there and waited his fate. Those looking could see the ground tear stained. As he lifted his head to the sky his hood fell down, revealing a 16 year old Neko. Human features could be seen though. A few of the guards jeered and threw rocks at him, saying things like "Halfbreed" and "Mongrel"
Slifer now began to cry more, his hands behind his back he just wanted to bury his face in them, but he couldn't. He was so hungry and weak. So alone...

Mammon would take a step back as Theodore raised the bottle. He was goining to hit the imp? He would dare!? It did not seem that Mammon would would be given time to get mad this time either. The girl recovered quickly from the scratch, which was not very deep unfortunately, and started talking again. He did not understand too much of what she said, it was uttered much too fast. Small bits and peaices were caught but that was about it. A glance would be given towards Theodore, more of a roll of the imp's eyes really. Oh how it wanted to scratch the girl again or maybe worse. Unfortunately the man did not seem too keen on that ideal. Thus Mammon edged a bit further away, putting a foot between it and the girl, before glancing at her with wide eyes. When at last the imp did speak it would be more in the form of a question directed to them both.
"When...exactly....did we become friends? And...why do you care so much about me? Why not just go on about your way..."
All of this was said in the Imp's usual gutteral voice, showing how little work was put into making it's words clear. In truth it just wanted to be off away from these people. The man was reacting negatively as usual. As for the girl, she was just a bit scary... He definetly did not like the way she was looking at him.

Theodore lowered the vial slightly when his eyes snapped to it. His face turned quite red when he saw what it really was.
Oh. Woops, that's my colored fruit juice.
He opened the vial and drank the contents. He cringed and put away the vial.
Ick, it's gone off. Ewww.
He looked at Mammon, apparently he was more afraid of the somewhat cheerful girl Ippi than his somewhat impressive performance at being angry. He felt a bit useless, and so he looked at Mammon and Ippi at the same time with a confused look on his face.
Making friends Ippi?
