 #5cc2a9-Onxon #01028e-Isis #9d0919-Baladeva
Isis looked around at the town she had stopped in. She was free for the moment, no jobs that needed to be done, no people to kill, and she was enjoying it. It wasn't often that she got "time off" like this. Currently she was sitting outside a small Cafe and munching on a sandwich, her Esper Baladeva was curled up near her feet, and drawing the attention of all the small children to "pet teh doggy". The wolfos liked the attention however and even encouraged it as best she could without outright telling the kids to come pet her. She tore off a piece of her sandwich and slid it down for Bala to eat before laughing and nudging the red beast with her foot. "Your spoiled, you know that right?" she told Bala and the wolfos just shrugged. "And who's fault is that?" the wolf replied without missing a beat and then scarfing down the sandwich piece. Bala had decided that she liked Hylian food very much, even more so than her normal diet of animals and meat. As long as it wasn't the berries Isis was found of, Bala could usually be found eating it with her bonded.
"Hmph, your turning into a pet Baladeva." Onxon said from his place on Isis's head, a favorite resting spot of his. She didn't mind, he was light as a feather most of the time anyways. "Not everyone can be as refined and noble as you all the time Onxon." she said and rolled her eyes. "We are not pets to be cooed and petted at every chance. We are partners who made a pact beneficial to both parties and it should stay as such." The green creature responded with a huff.

It had been some time since Blade had stolen anything, so it was about time he 'refilled' his coin purse. Making his way through the market district of the town they had stopped in. Vol was flying over head, as the streets were a little tight for him to be moving about at ground level.
As the thief made his way, glancing at some of the goods the merchants had, he kept an eye out for any prospective target. There was one man not far from him who seemed to fairly well off. Picking him as his current target, he went on to brush past the guy, as well as to relieve him of his wallet. The swipe went on unnoticed for now, but he didn't stick around for when the gentleman realized what he was missing.
Actually, it seemed he had just found out once Blade was about twenty feet or so away, judging the swears he heard. But at least he didn't seem to know who had taken it.

#5cc2a9-Onxon #01028e-Isis #9d0919-Baladeva
Baladeva shrugged again, licking her chops of the remnant crumbs of the sandwich. Isis was just about to put another bite of sandwich in her mouth when she heard swearing a little ways down the road. A guy was frantically looking through his pockets, telling the woman who's wares he had been about to buy that it had been there a moment ago. Ultimately winding up embarrassed and without the goods he had about to purchase. She frowned, looking around and her eyes settled on a black haired male in the crowd. Looking"innocent" and pretty much ignoring the swears of the man instead of looking back and ogling like the rest of the crowd. Isis smirked and took another bite of her sandwich, looking over the male. He was a mix of sorts, he must have been for his eyes to be that color for Hylians normally had lighter colors like her own emerald blue orbs. She perched her head on one hand and continued to study the male (people watching was one of her hobbies and part of her job) Black hair, red eyes, long coat... essentially dressed in dark clothes and she wondered why. Bright clothes were the custom of most Hylians, which again referred back to the odd eye color and probability of being a mixed bred. Even her own dress was "colorful" the short tan tunic was trimmed in green and a blue sash like belt fit snugly around her waist, concealing her knife easily.
"What are you daydreaming about you air headed girl?" Onxon broke her out of her observations and she lifted her hand up to pet the wind guardians head briefly. Something he pretended to dislike but she knew for a fact he enjoyed it. "Not daydreaming, just looking Onxon dear." she told him fondly and took another bite of her sandwich, crossing her two booted legs and leaning back in her chair.

With all the commotion going on, Blade cast a glance back casually. It seemed the one guy was making quite a scene right now. Too bad for him; most likely he had plenty of rupees back at home anyway. Turning attention back to the street, he had a slight feeling that he was being watched.
A quick look around he took but he didn't spot anyone staring at him initially. Whoever was looking at him, if anyone was in the first place, must have stopped.
In any case, it was about time he grabbed himself something light with his newfound cash. There was a small cafe nearby that seemed alright, so he went on and made his way over there, passing up a hylian girl and her espers who seemed to be enjoying a sandwich from this very place.
Seeing how there was a little more room, Vol descended to stick by. Going inside was out of the question for him, but he'd rather not be in a building anyway.
"Grab me something too while you're at it ok?" he told Blade.

#5cc2a9-Onxon #01028e-Isis #9d0919-Baladeva
Isis looked up again, continuing to eat her sandwich (which was mostly gone by now) and saw an Esper swoop down and settle next to the man. Both Onxon and Bala were now looking at the man, as Espers usually interested the two greatly. "Now who's daydreaming." she teased Onxon and heard a snort from above her head "I don't day dream." he said in a haughty manner.
"Sometimes I'd like to tell you you're full of hot air Onxon, then I realize you are." The wolfos teased along with Isis and they both began laughing quiet loudly. Onxon now hovering over Isis's head with an insulted look on his face before settling back down, on the table this time, and eating the rest of her sandwich with a satisfied smirk. "Hey I wasn't done with that." she stood up an put her hands on her hips, mocking outrage at the Esper with a full out smile on her face the whole time. "If you wanted one you could have asked you know." she told him with a raised eyebrow and looked back towards the cafe, deciding whether or not to go inside and get another sandwich.

Nodding to Vol, Blade disappeared on into the cafeteria to grab some food. It was then that he was really able to see how much he had snagged minutes ago. It was a fair amount and it would last him a little while, though he may need to grab some more a little later. He'll figure it out when he got there.
Outside, Vol waited for the man to return. As he sat out there, he looked about at some of the other patrons and what they were eating. The girl they had passed up seemed to have been eating a sandwich, before one of her espers decided to finish it for her it seemed. He gave a small snort of amusement at that as he watched the trio idly. It didn't last for long as the thief returned with a couple of sandwiches as well.
"What took you?"
"Easy there. There was a line," he replied impassively. Vol must have been getting rather hungry if he was getting impatient over that short wait. Shaking his head, he went on and took a seat near the trio and handed Vol his food with a weak grin, "Eat up. Got a little extra meat on it, courtesy of well.. you know."

#5cc2a9-Onxon #01028e-Isis #9d0919-Baladeva
Isis sighed and shook her head as Onxon licked his lips and removed what little remained of her sandwich completely. she was still hungry, having given more than half the meal to Bala, you wouldn't think a girl as petite as her would eat so much but Isis had a ravenous appetite sometimes and Bala often liked to tell her she would wind up big, round, and they would have to roll her around, to which she usually waved her hand and said she was too active for rolling. "Well, I'm going to go get another sandwich since a certain little piglet ate mine." she called over her shoulder as she walked into the cafe, Onxon's remark lost to the bustle inside the shop.
She didn't really like it much. All those people, all that chatter. She wasn't reclusive or anything like that but she certainly wasn't fond of being surrounded. Isis kept glancing out the window at their table, every now and then looking at the man with the black hair. Something about him tickled her senses and made her want to watch him. And not in a fan-girl dreamy way either, although he wasn't an unattractive male, maybe it was the eyes. She nodded and made an assumption that was it and tried to keep her gaze from sliding back every now and then while she waited in line.

Blade had looked up briefly as he caught some movement out of the corner of his dark red eyes. It was just the girl going back in for some more food so his gaze soon shifted away. The day was going by nicely, as far as he was concerned. The food here wasn't too bad either. As he ate his sandwich quietly, he just looked around to watch people go by. The commotion from the stolen wallet had apparently died down so he was most likely safe.
When he gaze drifted into the cafeteria, his eyes momentarily locked onto the girl that had been sitting by earlier. Her eyes shifted away pretty quickly it seemed, which made him blink. Was there something about him that called to her attention? Well, he supposed the fact that he didn't really look completely hylian might have something to do with it. It wouldn't be the first time he's gotten some odd looks because of it.
Having pretty much devoured the sandwich, Vol curled up next to Blade and let out a yawn. It was fairly tasty, though it didn't quite match up to a fresh kill in his opinion. Or a nice rock. Those were good to him too.

#5cc2a9-Onxon #01028e-Isis #9d0919-Baladeva
Unable to stop from staring Isis found herself caught and she looked away quickly. It must have been the relaxed environment, she was never careless!!! She sighed and bit her lip, her cheeks faintly pink from embarrassment, and walked up to the counter, ordering a sandwich for herself, Bala, and Onxon. The man behind the counter looked at her oddly for a moment at the amount of food but didn't say anything more.
As she waited, she looked around the store, keeping her attention pointedly away from any of the windows and she shifted her weight from side to side in impatience. Finally the man came back with her sandwich's and she gave him a smile and a tip, knowing her agitation came from being caught staring and not really from a long wait.
Sandwiches in hand she walked out of the cafe, wincing and closing her eyes from the sudden brightness of the sun, she stood there for a moment stunned.

For the most part, his attention was wandering around, not really focusing on anything in particular. There wasn't really anything particularly interesting in the immediate area that he could see. Though, he paused his munching as the girl came back outside, looking a little dazed for whatever reason.
"Are... you alright?" he asked the girl. In a sense she had piqued his interest somewhat earlier as he was a little curious as to why he was being stared at. He might have had his suspicions, but it could always be something else completely. For a moment, he tried to recall if he had seen her before, but nothing came to mind. So that wasn't a likely reason.
In any case, it seemed that something was up.

#5cc2a9-Onxon #01028e-Isis #9d0919-Baladeva
She heard a voice and turned towards it, still squinting as her eyes adjusted to the outside light. "I'm fine, thanks, it's jus-" her voice faltered for a moment as the guy she had been staring at slowly clarified in her vision but she picked it up right away, coughing into her hand to try to cover up her mistep. "Just the sun in my eyes, it's brighter out her than in the cafe." she finished, her voice bright and cheerful although she was a bit uncomfortable now that she had been noticed. She flashed him another brief smile and dipped her head in acknowledgment to his Esper sitting on the table. She was always polite to them, especially seeing some of them had fiery tempers, but that was besides the point. She glanced back over at her table and observed her Esper's watching her with interest, mostly she was just hoping Onxon held his tongue and didn't let on that she was staring earlier, the wind guardian had a tendency to put her in some sticky situations like that, although never on the job.. thank the goddesses he hadn't on the job... "Uh.. well thanks for your concern.. I'm gonna go back to my table. You can join us if you like." raised to be polite the last sentence slipped from her mouth without her even thinking about it and she mentally cursed herself as she walked back to her table.

Raising an eyebrow at the girl as she started acting kind of odd, he had to wonder if something was up. Then again, she could be like this all the time for all he knew. Blade was about to go back to enjoying his lunch in peace when she offered him a spot at her table. Now there was something he hadn't quite expected. It wasn't really something he heard all too often. The situation had him amused to some extent, so he decided to go along with it. If she proved to be bad company he could always just leave anyway.
"Ah sure, why not," he shrugged, "A little company couldn't hurt."
"What, am I not good enough?" snorted Vol as he lifted he head a little. He wasn't really offended or anything like that, but he felt like throwing that out there.
"Nah, nothing wrong with you," replied Blade with a mild grin before moving his food onto the girl's table, "Thank you."

#5cc2a9-Onxon #01028e-Isis #9d0919-Baladeva
Isis turned, an actual blush on her face now at her rudeness to this guys Esper, she had totally forgotten (for this moment anyways) that she had been embarrassed for staring and looked at the firey.. thing... she hadn't seen one like him before. "Oh! You can come too if you like." she pipped up at the Esper before sighing and shaking her head. She turned and looked at the guy again, sitting down in the chair across from him and unwrapping the sandwich for Baladeva. "No problem.' she said and passed the sandwich down to the wolfo, who growled in satisfaction and ate it in two bites. "Your going to make yourself sick.." Isis said with another sigh. "Not likely with all the junk she eats." Onxon said, materializing on her head again. "I got you one too you know." she said passing the other unwrapped sandwich up to him, oblivious to the crumbs he was getting in her hair. She turned back to the stranger, some of her initial embarrassment and awkwardness dissipating as she smiled. "This is Onxon." she pointed to the creature on her head. "That's Baladeva and I'm Isis. Nice to meet you." she said cheerfully.

With a smug draconic grin, Vol slid on over to the other table before comfortably curling back up. Even resting like this, his head came up above the table top when he lifted it. Having had his snack (there was no way one sandwich was going to count as a meal for him), he was feeling fairly satisfied and content.
"I am Blade, and this is Vol. A pleasure to meet you too," nodded Blade with a faint smile. The antics of the espers and their pactmaker amused him, and the way the wolfo had downed his sandwich was somewhat reminiscent of the big flaming maonui next to him.
There was a small pause as he tried to think if he should say something. Thinking about it, he figured he may as well bring up a bit of small talk.
"So what brings you to this town? Or are you from around here?"

#5cc2a9-Onxon #01028e-Isis #9d0919-Baladeva
Isis sighed as she watched a few crumbs tumble in front of her face and realized the mess Onxon must've been making of her head, then the Esper of that guys slithered over and she turned her gaze to him for a moment, admiring the way the flames dance around him before looking back to Blade at his question. "Vacation." she said smoothly, which was the truth, but she always got antsy when talking about herself. She didn't like to do it at all. "This is a nice town, or at least that was what I had heard on my travels, so when I got a break I headed here." that one however wasn't entirely true. Her last job had brought her here for it's final destination and she had just stuck around for a little bit and enjoyed the fresh air.
She heard a content murr from on top of her head, which signaled that the air guardian was settling down to sleep and she reached her hand up to pat him again. "What about you? Do you live in town or are you a traveler too?" she asked as she folded her hands in front of her on the table.
