Aki and the rest of the little group made their way to the gates to wait for Bjorn.
((...I hate writer's block.))

As Laptus strod down the street he began to wonder.
'Why of all times to ignore your older brothers wishes and run away? Why?!'
However he need not worry. He had more that enough skills of the ways of the sword in order to keep him alive.
He also had a plethora of coins and money, so going hungry would not be a problem.
Yet why did he feel...homesick?
"Perposterous! I haven't felt any emotion since I was a small child. Hmpf absurd..."
His ears picked up something. The loud clanging of armour and the sounds of shouting. A fight perhaps?
No, citizens wouldn't dare cause trouble in time like these.
'However it might be rewarding to find out what it is.' he thought.
At that moment he saw a woman glide and scurry across the roof tops. "Hmmm...seems interesting enough. A game of tag perhaps?
Alright it's settled then. I'll follow you."
With that he set off to the roofs. With a menacing low voice but said in a smile as if enjoying the thrill of the chase
" I hope you won't dissapoint me."

 she heard other sudden movement upon the rooftops, she glanced back with a hand upon the top of her left katana.

Bjorn arrived at the gates in record time, barely winded by his sprint. "Let's...go." he managed to say, motioning for them to run.

Xeno watched as the man came running up to the gates. "That was... Fast." He said under a sigh, beginning to run again, wishing he had gotten more of a chance to rest.

 The woman looked back and he smiled. 'Seems it didn't take long for her to notice me.' he thought.
But he did not wish for his fun to be spoiled this quickly so he fled from the roofs and seeked cover below.
There he continued to follow her.
At times he would mearly step on the roof loudly to get her attention and then flee.
The look on her bewildered face was most bemusing.
However near the gates sadly the game lead to an end where she finally caught him due to his carelesness.
He placed his index finger at his mouth indicating silence and smiled.
"It seemed that they're after you too." he lied.
"May I join you?" he continued smiling a fake smile.

 "Oooh..? Then who may I ask is in charge?" he mused.
Stepping closer, the woman raised her katanas.
'As if those could harm me.' he thought.
He side-stepped and then jumped like a graceful acrobat and landed in
front of the woman.
"I am mearly interested in your little game.
Just like a street performer's dance catches the eyes of people, your "game" has caught mine."
Her eyes did not waver and her gaze stood cold.
Seeing that her swords were still out he backed off in order to give her space to think things through.
"So what is your decision? Can you take me to whoevers' in charge?
As a handicap, I swear if anything give you the suspision that
I am an enemy you can behead me."
as he finished he gave her a fake smile.

Aki and the rest of the entourage(just to get things to move faster than they would normally) ran until Tinto was no longer in sight before stopping. "I don't think...they'll follow us out here," Aki said.
James stared at Aki for a few moments. "I think you owe me some answers," he said at last. "Two men in the village called you the prince. Why? And why did those soldiers call Hana a Faren soldier?"
"I guess I do, huh? Hm...Where to begin...First of all, I was not born of common birth, nor is my given name Aki. My name is Akihiko Kiyoshi Faren, born into House Faren and true heir to the throne. Hana was a soldier in the Faren Army, and the reason I am alive," Aki answered.
"Why did you lie to me?" James asked.
"We had to. Gailor was desperate to find him, and the only way we could keep his identity a secret was lying to everyone, even those we trusted. If Gailor had received news that he was still alive, there is no doubt he would have sent armies to kill him," Hana explained. "Of course, the prince of a country couldn't be expected to do nothing while his country suffered, so he decided to become mercenaries until he was strong enough to take on Gailor. Although, I almost had to hold him back on several occasions when he saw Gailor soldiers tormenting Faren citizens." The last part was a joke.

as the boy moved, her eyes glinted a slight bright purple and a slight smirk wavered in the corner of her mouth. as quick as he landed infront of her the quicker the katana lay under his neck. "a game huh?" her posture didn't falter once. "and the suspision i feel now?"

"That wouldn't surprise me." Bjorn said to the last comment, catching his breath, though that didn't take long. The man was almost as fit as could be. Once he was good to go, he stood up straight.
"Are we safe here?" he asked.

 He gripped the blade of the woman in his hand and brought it closer to his throat.
"If you are suspisious then behead me here and now."
He looked into the woman's eyes now. Those purple eyes bore right into his skull.
Her face stern but he caught a slight glimpse of a smirk from the woman.
"It is only natural to eliminate those you don't trust.
However...can you live with it?"
Now he held the katana tighter causing the blade to cut into his glove.
He was now emphasizing his interest.
Blood seeped out and trickled down the steel eventually falling ever
so slowly to the hard ground with a
"Plip....plip...plip."

the smirk was now gone as the katana was now so cleanly removed from his hand only leaving the cut he made himself. "it is natural, therefore i would have no regrets" she answered as she leaned her head slightly forward. a clean cut was left under his chin, a cut which she had quickly caused after removing her blade from his hand, not deep and would not scar. she perposely grazed him to show she means what she says. the purple in her eyes dissapeared as she wiped her katana and placed it in it's sheath.

"We should be. Unless Gailor ordered them to come out here and search for us, they shouldn't follow," Aki said.
"It will only be a matter of time before news that you're alive reaches Gailor. Gailor will be looking for you. We'll have to be more careful from now on," Hana said.

 He inspected the wound from his hand.
'A minor wound. Small but nessesary.' he thought.
The woman cleaned and sheathed her swords.
Her last motion said enough.
'Do anything out of line and your head comes off'
He understood fully.
Now that she had withdrawn her weapon he assumed that she accepted him..for now.
As she put back her swords she had a look of worry.
He began
"I assume you were heading some where before our
little encounter. "
"I'm sorry if I had caused any delay.
Shall I accompany you?"
