Gaijin looks away obviously feeling embarassed. He walks down the street with her, eyes scanning the storefronts before seeing a place that advertised that it selled herbs. It was a small place, which a chinese dragon on the sign. He motions to it, to point it out to her. We should try in there I think.

Mia looked at him out of the corner of her eye. "What? You're not going to talk about it? Jeez." She grinned, shaking her head then looked over to the store he was pointing at. "Okay...that's fine with me."

Gaijin sighs a bit. And here I was hoping the store would distract you. Well, I'm not all that embarassed about it. I'm just not sure how she feels. I suppose you remember Logan from the other night? He holds the shop door open for her, waiting for her to go in first and then he'd follow.

"Of course I do. She's a Lycan Elder, if I remember correctly." Mia steps into the shop, listening to him.

I'm in love with Logan. Really I only fully realized it today. We sat in the rain together the other day, just talking and I dunno. The way she looked, the way she didn't think I was a bad Hunter for how I am... it just seemed to be so great. But everything has caught up with her from recently and I'm confused. He comes into the store behind her, looking around but not really knowing what they're supposed to be looking for.

"I thought you felt something for her. I sensed it that night I was there." Mia smiled at him. Pulling her hood off she began searching through the aisles. "I need things like Vervain, Ground Ivy, Parsley, Ergot, Codonopsis, Astragulus, Echinacea, Licorice, Ginger peppermint, Catnip, and Elder flower." She rambled off then looked back at him, wondering if he caught that all.

Well, I do really like her... I even love her. When Mia starts to ramble off a list of things she wants to get he just kind of stares, obviously this not being his cup of tea. He points over her should towards the door. If you want licorice I saw a candy store not that far away. But unfortunately I need to get back. Just bring the stuff to my place and put it by the desk after you've gotten it all. He hands Mia enough money to buy whatever she needed. And I expect my change. He smiles and heads out, towards the apartment. Once inside he, crashes on the bed and falls asleep.
((I gtg for the night. My dad is geting on my case.))

((kk. I had to go in just a minute anyway.))
Mia shoved him as he exited the store. "Candy store..." She shook her head then walked up and down the aisles looking for the things she needed. When finished she purchased them then head back to Gaijin's. She was too tired to even think straight. She set the bag of herbs on the table and left his change there, scribbling thank you on the receipt. It was too late to walk back to the pizza place. So, she crashed on Gaijin's couch, figuring he wouldn't mind.

((Calmed down a bit... So will calm Logan down as well...))
*Logan stuffed her hands into her trouser pockets as she trudged through the drizzly rain through NY city. She didn't know what to do, where to go. She had no idea. Then she realised she needed her bag and could decide what to do from then.
She changed direction and headed to Gaijin's appartment where she climbed the fire escape, being silent, and then climbed in through the broken window. She moved like a shadow across the room to the foot of the bed where her bag and jacket was. She pulled her jacket on and then her bag and was just going to head to get her shirt when Gaijin stirred in his sleep.
She froze. She didn't know what to say if he talked so waited for the sigh as he fell back to sleep then moved back to the window where she climbed out and headed back down the fire escape and then towards the sea cliffs.
She walked quickly, her hands in her jacket pockets and when she got to the wall she vaulted it easily and ran to her cave. She climbed up the cliff and into the small entrance way where she then crawled to the main cave. She put her bag down and built a small fire that she lit with some matches from her gagdet kit. She then sat watching the flames with a notepad on her lap as she tried to think what to write to Gaijin.
He deserved an explanation. She wasn't the easiest person to read and understand...*

Gaijin awoke with the feeling of a breeze and sat up to find that the window on the other side of the room by the fire escape was open. He looked, and found that Logan's things were gone. That means it must have been her. But why she wouldn't have woken him, he could only guess. He stands, going to the window and looking out. She was obviously long gone. He pulled the window closed, glancing to the couch where Mia was asleep. He went to his bed, sitting cross-legged on it and thinking in the darkness.

*Logan sat for a long while just staring at the flames as she focused her brain on feelings that had been occuring over the last few weeks. She wrote down each thing she thought relevant before she ran out of things to write. She took that sheet of paper off the pad and started to write a letter from all the ideas, but ordering them better. It read.*
"Gaijin;
I am so sorry i have been off for the last coupl of days and this letter is intended to clear anything up that may have seemed confusing to you...
For starters there have been many things on my mind of late. It all started when Drakken disappeared from NY with no word as to why or any idea where he was going. He was the only link i had left to my past life before i was bitten and turned so i cared for him greatly. When no word came for nearly 3 weeks i decided to do some digging around as to why he had gone and found some disturbing evidence that i don't want to detail here. That said i found his address and wrote him a letter telling him whatever we had had was over and he wrote back with a phone number. I phoned it and it went badly... My anger rose and the phonebox does not look like its normal self anymore... And that letter came just at the time of everything else going on around here.
By everything else i mean such things as Kinikki's change of character and emotional intent, Xandora's kidnapping, the rogue lycans around NY making themselves known and noticible to mortals, the whole deal with Shadow Shi tormenting my mind and not giving much help as to why he had taken who he had taken, the disappearance of the other race leaders and elders, the changing of a hunter into a lycan with no control over his actions as of yet, and other small bits and bobs that are the concerns of myself and the other lycan elders alone.
On top of that i have been sensing a familiar presence around NY... And it has been driving me wild because of the fact i can't remember who it belongs to. But everytime it appears in my senses my mind instantly channels memories and images of my old life. My life in Canada, my life spent wandering being chased from town to town, my life spent on the high seas and everything that has happened in this city. Which, if nothing else, has been making me feel more and more homesick. I left Port Stanley on bad terms with most of my friends and my father and have not been in touch in years.
Then you made your input... My mind is still very confused over what it is actually feeling towards you when you are close, but i know for certain my original feelings about wanting to kill you are long gone. That night in the rain changed everything. Changed some of my looks on life, changed some ways i think and changed me in a way. I now know how you feel and hope that when all this is over, when my mind is my'ne to controll and make sense of again, i will be able to tell you my feelings towards you.
Until that point i apologise if i have hurt you in anyway and i hope i can make it up to you someday, somehow. You know where to find me if you need me...
Your faithful friend,
Logan Alois Azdaja."
She made an envelope from another piece of paper and wrote "Gaijin" on the front before putting it into her jacket secret pocket and exiting the cave with her bag and sword on her back. She wandered to his appartment and silently put the letter under the door before leaving and going to her usual watching place on the sea front.

Gaijin heard something downstairs, like maybe something against the front door, and went to investigate it. As he came down the stairs, he saw that there was a letter that had been slipped under the door. He picked it up, and found his name on it. He opened the envelope and pulled the letter. His eyes went to the bottom and saw immediately that it was a letter from Logan. He went back up to his apartment for better lighting, turning on the desk lamp and sitting with the letter that Logan had wrote him. After a while, when he had read it over for twice, he laid it down. He was confused now, confused about all of this and what he would do. He decided that perhaps the best thing to do would be to sleep on it for a while and then come back to it later. However... he picked up a pen, turning it over, and wrote incase Logan came calling again.
"Logan,
I know how you must feel and I know how confusing this all is for you. I don't have to read minds to be able to tell it from your eyes. And so, I ask that you give me this time to sleep on this and think about it. I won't leave you, don't worry. That isn't an option. What I need to decide is what I am going to do while with you however. I will talk with you more later on.
Lovingly penned,
Gaijin"
He then stood, walking over to the bed and collapsing again, having no trouble falling asleep with Logan on his mind.

Awakening with a start, she'd sat with Kinikki for a few hours, watching him sleep before sneaking back to her apartment, showering and getting changed. She also raided her weapons chest, it was now empty, but she happily armed. The cat had mauled her as soon as she got in, so she gave him extra food. She'd returned to the hospital, and was now sat drowsily stroking Kinikki's hair.
Upon her return to the hospital she had asked the nurse for a break, and for no visitors. She's sense immortals before they arrived at the small desk anyway, and she didnt wish for mortal visitors. Her mind was still reeling from the news of Jace.. She had tried calling him, before spotting the opened letters on the desk at home. In her back pocket they went, and she'd have to question Logan about her notebook.
Sighing, she continues stroking his hair. "It never rains, but it pours, huh." She told him, knowing she wouldnt get a reply. Her 'stress' was still there, raging beneath the surface. Jace was dead. Murdered. She'd hunt whoever did it to the ends of the earth. That Hunter, if you say so, threatened Kinikki when he was weak - He should keep out of her way. But she had to find more out about Deacon King. The very name made her more angry than she had ever been before, her heart only softening when she knew Kinikki had lost his sister to a monster, too. She couldnt wallow in self pity right now.
Leaning forward and kissing his forehead gently, she curls up on the chair, and watches him sleep.

*Logan sat down on the top of her usual building on the edge of NY and watched the different scents emitted from the city. From the hospital she sensed Kinikki, plain old Kinikki, with Xan next to him - except when she returned to her appartment briefly - and she followed the trails of a few lycans but there was nothing to seriously concern her at the moment.
She reached into the secret part of her jacket and pulled out Xan's notebook. She started to read it again just out of curiosity and boredom. She had decided she would wait for Xan to come and get it.
As she flicked she wondered if Gaijin had got the letter yet and she made up her mind to wait for him to come to her instead of her bothering him anymore...
She got to the end of the notebook and put it back in her jacket before picking a point in the distance and watching it as she started to try and unscramble her mind and put up a new anger barrier.*

Gaijin awakenes to find that Mia is still asleep and Logan hasn't returned. He sits up, looking around almost hoping that his instinct of that is wrong and to find Logan sitting there at the desk reading his note, but she isn't. So, Gaijin stood and went over to the desk. He pulled on his trenchcoat, slipping his weapons on and going to the door. He unlocked it and stepped out into the street, figuring that he might be able to find Logan at the cliffs. He heads that way through the city, thinking that he just has to talk to her even if her mind isn't made up yet.
