Chaos4546 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. Mister Imp, er, Mammon, We were friends as soon as I came up to you. You looked so lonely, I just had to make friends. *smiled happily* You make my day soo interesting, I just hope I do the same for you! ... Are you trying to hint you don't want to be friends? *she started to sniffle, her eyes, starting to rustle with the makings of tears.* You mean, you don't want my friendship??! *her lips began to quiver at an incredible rate* NOOOOOOO!!! *whoosh! The waterworks begin, and her tears are flowing like a water fall, rushing down her face, onto the pavement.*

Hey don't cry, he's just an anti-social little s**t.
He glared at Mammon, angry at it...him...(oh whatever) for making her cry.
Don't pay any attention to him, i've heard often that Imps are both ill-mannered and belligerent little buggers. Come on, let's go get some food ok?

There's a tavern over there. *points* We can get some foods there.
Let's leave Mr. Mammon here to just stew.
One last sharp glance at Mammon, and Theodore began walking with Ippi towards the tavern that the innkeeper was so kind to direct him to.

I guess i got a little carried away with being kind to him, and didn't think about the nature of him. I guess you can't get away with treating imps like humans. *dries her eyes one last time* Sadly enough, I really think he could use a friend, as distant, unfriendly, bitter, horrible, gross, mean, cruel, sadistic, heartless, and harsh he is. *sighs* Well, maybe he will come to his senses?

Oh well, what do you do Ippi?

Oh well, what do you do Ippi?*She giggled at his little joke* Well, I am an alchemist. My dad is Duke Elliston, if you have ever heard of him. He is an inventor, and we live in Wigmund. A little town far to the west of here. I mean, the west of the west. Hehe. I still don't know what you do, and why you are in Cameliard.

((Okay, I'm just going to ASSUME you didn't come anywhere near my horse. Because you'd be bloody neko pulp if you had. ^_~))
Anastazi calmly watched his guards take down the boy, but when two of the men began making beating the boy his face darkened again.
"Tankred, James, what is it I pay you for?" He asked, completely ignoring the boy's ears and tail. "Oh yes, that's right, I had forgotten to put a clause about tormenting half-breeds in your contract."
The two men stopped jeering and glanced at each other, suddenly much less confident than they had been the moment before.
"Well, I guess the contracts I have for you currently are not good enough. I'll have to get rid of them for you." His eyes were still cold. "There is no room in my guard for men who do not do their duty. You are dismissed."
The men stared at Anastazi in shock as they backed away from the boy in disbelief. Two of 'Stazi's other guards took charge of the fired men's horses, and the remaining men closed in around the cat-boy, taking hold of him, but saying nothing.Anastazi looked into the boy's face, his eyes hard and his face disapproving.
"Now then, you. Boy, LOOK at me when I speak to you. Not only did you attack my family, you did it very poorly indeed. None of my enemies would have hired such a failure; I could have you thrown into a dungeon for your attempt. What have you to say for yourself?"
Anastazi sat straight in his horse, the height making his appearance that much more impressive. He seemed utterly unphased by the situation; his voice had not raised a single decibel the entire time he had been speaking.

Serefina looked at the cat man and furrowed her brow slightly, whoever would be stupid enough for one man to attack an entire party. Instantly her eyes lifted to check for other threats in case he was a decoy, not seeing anyone immediately she looked back at him and sniffed slightly, there was pity in her eyes but also disdain, that someone had felt forced into this lifestyle rather than trying to make an honest wage.
She also watched as her brother put the two guards in place for beating up on the ragamuffin, and still he didn't say anything about how she handled herself which was rather frustrating but expected by now, after all she wasn't supposed to fight beyond being able to defend herself. Flicking aside the hair that was burnished like gold from her face, she smirked slightly to herself "If you are going to do something either do it well or make it them believe YOU did it right"One of the lessons being around her brother had taught her.
Her gaze not once wavering from the neko in front of her, he was beneath her notice yet he had forced them to notice him in the worst possible way and now she was sure Stazi would make him regret it. She sat regally upon her own stallion waiting to see what punishment hr brother would see fit to give the man. She didn't relish any punishment but she understood that her brother sometimes had to do things that were less than savory in order to get an accomplished goal completed.
THo apparently even her bodyguard was fired, too many mistakes most likely now, she felt slightly bad for that but he had always been a pain, insisting that the servants were beneath her and that she didn't need to make their job easier. So 'Fina wouldn't exactly miss him, tho that meant Stazi would be keeping a closer eye on her than usual until he found another flunkie to foist off on her.

Shall we?

He didn't lift his head to begin with, his face bleeding from where the rocks had hit him. He was slightly disoriented and tried to gather himself. His ears pricked up and he tried to look up. He looked in a bad state. His black hair was messed up from the fall and one eye was shut from pain. He opened it slowly and looked at Anastasi with both eyes
"I..." he said trying to stay upright, a very difficult task considering he had no hands "I was trying... to feed myself" he then tried to continue on with his story "I... " he couldn't manage anymore, tired weak and hurt he fell over completely. He tried to move occasionally. His tail curled up around him.
His katana briefly showed, quite an expensive item, excellently carved and folded. The sheath was a dragon, breathing fire down to the point of the sword. He slowly closed his eyes, but stayed listening, waiting...

OH this was really too much, unable to keep her mouth shut any longer. She had no problem helping those who helped themselves but he had a katana that he had obviously stolen from someone, yet he could not feed himself. Until the body guards had beaten him up he had probably been a fairly healthy individual and quite capable of work in some fashion.
"You stole a sword but won't sell it to put something in your stomach, you are not a samurai who would rather die than give up his sword and lose his honor, that I could maybe see as noble. However you are just simply stupid" Sniffing slightly as she turned her horse around with barely a flicker of emotion across her face.
"You deserve whatever punishment my brother gives you" She had no tolerance for fools and the young neko had just proven him self beyond foolish at least in her eyes. He obviously couldn't even use the weapon he had stolen yet he would not sell it either.
With no more thought to the young neko, she spurred her horse with her knees and caused him to prance slightly before taking off at a dead run, careful only not to trample anyone before heading to the manor, letting the stable boy for once deal with grooming 'Noir', she was just too distracted to deal with it and didn't even care about dinner at this point and flounced onto her bed and laid there in her gown, wishing the day would end so they could begin their trip.

"No..." he said quietly, although none could probably hear "No, its mine, mine" he thought of his parents, watching them be slaughtered infront of his eyes, while all he held was his katana, his only possession. It brought tears to his eyes remembering it. He sat there, watching the image play in his head.
He watched them, beg and plee, only to be killed needlessly. And for what, nothing. For a stupid war. He remember sitting in the cupboard, clutching his present to his chest, watching and crying. He remembered falling asleep crying. He remembered waking up to find the house burning. Having to struggle outside.
He watched his foster parents house and them turn to ash. It was then he vowed revenge on his killers. Nothing would stop him, not this or anything. His sword gave off a faint red glow, almost as if it was pulsating. Any who were watching may have been puzzled.

Shall we?*nods* Yes, we shall. *continues speaking* Well, my father needed some time to invent without caring for me, even though I probably care for him more. *her face suddenly takes a concerned look* Are you an orphan? Oh, I am so sorry. *she takes his hands in hers, and gives him her sympathy look* Well, I guess we should go on in, rather than standing here making a scene. *giggles* Well, let's go!

Orphan? Not really. My mother died only about a year ago.
He shrugged and grabbed one of the menus. They listed mostly alcohols, but there was food also.
Oooh, some of these things sound really good. Really, really good.
