Ember grumbled but listened. She liked Saki and it was rare for her to like anybody. "As long as he stops poking at my age." She Heated her milk and smiled. "Flint doesn't play with any kids either." She watched as Flint dropped his weight down over he kit's back. "And pyro's a good girl." OOC: Pyro's a girl right? I forget

Shizuo noticed the young blue haired child looking at the bounty board. "You interested in bounties kid?" He asked stamping his cigarette into a nearby ash tray. "You're little young to be interested in that kind of work aren't you."
OOC: Sorry I don't know Lazuli's hair color, I just imagine her with blue hair

Lazuli jumped a bit as she was addressed by Shizuo. Turning the little girl smiled weakly. "Oh, that's what they are? I was just curious is all."
Then a particular group of letters caught her eye, she knew what those meant, it was her master's name. She covered her mouth and held back an inappropriate giggle, was he wanted in the fire territories?
OOC- You are correct sir, she does have blueish hair.

"Trust me kid, stay out of that business." Shizuo downed the drink Saki gave him. "You will only make enemies that way."

"I'll do my best to," she said pleasantly. Her eyes traveled over to the parchment with her master's name on it. She was curious of what else it said, but decided drawing attention probably wasn't the best idea. Then she added softly, "Trouble tends to find me quite a bit, don't think I'd want to go looking for it..."

"Trouble finds itself where it's least wanted most of the time." He tapped a cigarette out of his pack and lit up. "Guess you and me are the same in that way I suppose."

Ember didn't like the man talking to his sister. And she really didn't like the context of their conversation. "Laz? You ok?" She didn't turn her eyes from Shizuo. "Those are mostly murderers..." she mentally went through the current local hit list. "A fraud doctor... he's actually a decent sort. A sleazy broker and a few rouge slavers..." She smiled at the young man. "And one for a certain blond deviant who tore up several streets and a main tunnel with Walters." She looked at Saki. "Why'd you ask me about Jack? I hear They're old rivals or something... nor enemy's exactly. Some silly kid thing." She smiled cus she knew it'd get to him. "Has a bit of temper I here..." She thought for a moment before turning back to her drink. "But he's got the power to back it up I guess."
Flint rolled onto his back and made little light sparks chase the fox. He liked playing with them and they weren't that hot.

"It's not a rivalry." He turned to the annoying little girl. "The guy is a maniac, and I'm the only one who fights him in this godsforsaken hell-hole of a city. Whats it to you short stuff?"

"Oh, I don't care how you pretty it up." Ember shook her head. "And I have a bit of temper myself." She was past her limit with the size commentary and way just barely containing it for Saki's sake. "So it's nothing to me I'd guess." She yawned and drank more of her steaming milk.

Shizuo filled his lungs with nicotine and blew a puff of smoke up into the air. "Is it about your bedtime short stuff?" He tapped the end of his cherry into the ash tray. "Hey hot head can I get a refill please?" Shizuo had a knack for making up nicknames for the people around him. Most people found it annoying, but he didn't really care.

Ember was well past her limit. She couldn't see how Saki considered this walking attitude as a 'nice enough guy' at all. If it wasn't for her good mood at having Lazuli near to her and her respect for saki she'd have attacked this man ages ago. "Sir, out of respect for saki's place, I'm warning you." Her drink began to boil and her hair was already smoking. "Leave off my age or size. Before I have to teach you to respect your betters." She smiled an apology at Saki. "Outside Saki's place of coarse." She set her now ruined drink down, singing another ring into the bar, and turned her burning red eyes on the blond man. "Because, Mr. Shizou, Burner's rage can not be compared to mine."
Flint sensed the shift in Ember's intentions and abandoned his game. He hopped up onto the counter nest to Ember and glared at the man as well. Ready to defend his favorite Person, even if his ears were down, tail pulled close, and he shook like a leaf.

"Don't mind the nickname short stuff. It's just how I remember people." Shizuo took another drag of his cigarette. "You respect my hatred for the maniac, and I'll respect your experience and your age. Seem like a fair deal?"

Ember glared at the man. "Hatred is not something to be respected." She told him. "It's a pointless emotion that breeds despair." Ember hated a lot of things but not people. "Rivalry, disappointment, or even pity for a man so twisted by events that he is hardly to blame for becoming what he is." She looked at him like a naïve child. "Jack Walters' history is something you may or may not know. I suggest you consider what would have become of you yourself if faced with such things before passing any judgments."

"Doesn't matter what's happened to him. What matters is that he has destroyed homes, and killed families." Shizuo ignored the little girl and her very young outlook on life. "Past events do not matter. Only the present, and he has caused nothing but despair in the present."

Ember looked at Shizuo with pity. "Where do you think your morals and righteous opinions come from if not your past?" She asked. "Parent? Friends? Or maybe like me you weren't taught by a person but by what you experienced? seeing the victims? being a victim yourself?" She was loosing her patience but this is what Leena had forced Ember to realize. Hatred only forced more to feel the pain she had. It had to change for the war to end without complete chaos. "Shizuo, How did you grow to know what is evil?" Her question was genuine and she waited for his answer.
