Seia ran the streets in hyena form; jumping sleeking around shadows as she Remembered the day she was born. 'Knives in my hands and a dead child at my feet.' She grinned 'it's like they say; those borne from blood search it out al their lives.' She fazed into herself and grabbed a cloak from a neighboring stall. 'I go through these things pretty fast' She had picked one meant for children and after washing the blood from her body and dressing eyed her reflection in the mirror. She tsked and snatched a wig off a hook. She bound her own hair flat and pinned the wig in place. Admiring the result, she nodded her approval. 'Not as convincing as my own but the effect's nice enough.' She skipped lightly down the center of the street humming. Her presence and scent was hidden and she was looking forward to the slaughter this town would experience.
Emory sighed as he waited to be contacted. His boss hadn't been the most caring individual and what was left of his subordinates were mostly scattered. 'Well an assassin's not meant to work constantly anyway.' Emory knew he'd probably just have to track Deluge down himself before too long. His skills were going to waist with all this free time. He'd spent his vacation amassing a small force to replace the ruined ones. It was still small as Emory's criteria had always been more strict than his master's.

Alandra walked among the common people of her family's territory.Her Father, and Brother were away on business. That left Mother in charge of the kingdom for the time being. She pulled a cloak tight around her thin figure. She was supposed to be studying the history of Falmour, but she quickly grew tired and wanted a break from the boring work. 'I'm not even going to become queen, why do I have to learn all this.' It was true her brother was going to inherit the kingdom instead of her but she didn't care. She really didn't want the kingdom anyway. She made her way past a group of laughing girls. Her gaze fell on them as they continued to laugh about whatever amused them. To tell the truth she was envious. She didn't have any friends. She hadn't attended regular schools like the commoners had, she had private tutors who were supposed to be teaching her. 'Like I need to know that stuff anyway.' Some of the royal guards made their way past her. It appeared as if they were looking for. 'The tutor must have noticed my absence.' She made her way down a different street avoiding the guards entirely.

Aiden saw the young woman hiding from the palace guards. "Did you steel something?" He seemed excited at the idea as he perched above her on a thin windowpane. 'She's a runaway. It's obvious she's of our kind. A high pedigree. You two are two of a kind.' Peanie seemed amused that the young woman would remind her of her young host. 'I bet your Aunt's got a matching set of guards hunting for you as well.' Aiden grinned and let himself fall slowly to the ground. "Are you running off for good or just stepping out for a breather?"
Seia was rinsing a bit of crimson from her fingers in a fountain when she noticed the guard. A smiled pulled at her lips. She splashed the water from her hands and approached a female guard. "Which way is dun-shin?" It was a well known upper-middle class neighborhood and located just blocks down the main road to the south. "I told mama and papa I wouldn't stray far. but I saw a kitten." She drew tears to her eyes and sniffled a little. "Can you take me home?" The woman smiled a bit and nodded. "Your not too far from home little one." She took her hand and called to her companions that she'd return shortly. Seia giggled and clutched the guard's hand. She was still smiling sweetly as she slit the woman's throat in an alleyway.

Alandra jumped a little shocked that some one actually spoke to her. "Excuse me?" She was offended that the young boy would aromatically assume she had stolen anything. "I'm...." She paused her speech a little cautious. 'I don't know who this boy is, and did he just slowly fall.... He must be a wind calgor.' She looked over her shoulder seeing another batch of guards walking along the street. "Come here." She pulled the young boy into an alleyway avoiding the new batch of guards. She breathed a sigh of relief as the guards walked by the alleyway not noticing the young heiress. "Sorry about that.... and no I haven't stolen anything."

"Carrots are good for stew..." Slate muttered to herself as she looked at the stand owners produce. Picking up a few she placed them in her satchel before looking at a few potatoes and deciding that those too would make dinner taste better. Paying for what she'd taken the calgor turned, sighing softly. She wondered faintly how that annoying kid Aiden was fairing since she last saw him...Blinking a few times the calgor smacked herself, earning a few curious looks from other citizens. "Tch! Why should I be concerned with him?"

Bain walked along the streets of the Earthen capital. He had followed Seia here to keep an eye on her but quickly lost her. "I'm sure I'll find a bloodpath wherever she went." He dodged the oncoming wave of people that littered the streets making it to the produce market. 'I'm running low on supplies. I should restock while I'm here.' He pushed himself forward and looking at the potatoes. He caught sight of a girl slapping herself. "Concerned with who." It had been awhile since he had an actual conversation with someone normal.

Aiden laughed. "hiding from guards and acting all jumpy usually has a reason behind it." He folded his legs and sat on the cobble stoned ally floor. "Peanie says your a runaway." He held out a hand for his friend to perch on and she did so with an air of dignity. "So little miss. you don't have to tell me who you are if you don't want to." He stroked Peanie's little cloud-like body affectionately. "But do you happen to know A girl called Slate?" He brightened at her name. "She's 14 now I think."

Slate looked over toward Bain, cursing herself slightly for saying such a thing aloud. She dismissed it immediately, "Just some kid I met before."
She busied herself by looking at other produce. Strawberries...hm, that reminded her of her father's strawberry shortcake that he was famous for making. Maybe when he returned from his business trip in the human territories she could convince him to make one. Glancing at the older boy who had addressed her the calgor watched as he looked at some potatoes. She decided to make light conversation, "Ginji's potatoes are the best, I don't know how he does it."

"Thanks for the heads up." He bought a few of the mans potatoes and put it in his pack. "How about these strawberries?" Bain noticed the girl was staring at them in an almost trance like state. "You're practically drooling over them, hardly fitting for a young lady." He laughed at his joke continuing their small conversation. "My name is Bain by the way."

'Wait a minute.... that's a spirit beast.' Alandra studied the tiny bird. "So Peanie is it?.... You appear to be a flit, but you're something far greater aren't you?" She had an eye for such things. Probably the only thing that she outshone her brother in. "You two..... are connected aren't you?" Her own spirit beast could sense their connection. "I thought separating one from their spirit beast was taboo among the calgor's." She paused in her observation and quickly blushed. "I'm terribly sorry I don't mean to pry, and I've been ignoring your question even...." She took breath calming herself down. "I'm sorry no I don't know who this Slate is.... I'm afraid I don't know very many girls my age."

Slate cocked an eyebrow at the man before clucking her tongue in irritation. "They looked good is all. Father makes a very good strawberry shortcake and so when I see strawberries I get reminded of that. My name is Slate."

"A nice enough name." Bain bought a bag of strawberries and put them in with the potatoes. "Potatoes, and strawberries are really not that great of a combination do they?" He bit into one enjoying the flavor. "It's been awhile since I've been back home." He spoke absentmindedly turning back to the crowd of people. "I've forgotten what Ymir looks like." In truth he had returned a few months ago, but it was only for a brief time and he was fighting for most of it.

Aiden laughed. The girl still hadn't said her name. or even a nik-name he could use temporarily. Peanie was Practically glowing she loved it when people recognized her splendor. "You know, i think you just made P's day." Aiden glanced at his friend and spirit beast as she beamed at him. 'At least some recognize a goddess when they see one.' Aiden sighed. "Your not a god, P. You may be a greater beast and a thought to be extinct one but not a god." He smiled as he rained on her little parade. He looked back to the girl. "I didn't know it was possible in any case other than my own to tell the truth. And Peanie and i were not separated willingly." Peanie bit Aiden's ear lightly in revenge for him bursting her bubble. She flew lightly over to the girl. 'Yes, I am Peanie.' The bird told the girl proudly. 'And my host is Aiden. only child of clarious and mordra. first class noble and air to his house.' Her voice had a slight ironic tone to it as if to suggest him being a noble was a bit ridiculous. 'And i do love this form but no, I am not originally a flit. Aurai's are to conspicuous according to Aiden. thus i adopt the physical visage of my kin.' Aiden was still chuckling as Peanie reintroduced them in her own boasting way.

"Wow I thought Aurai's went extinct some time ago. I'm extremely honored to meet one." Alandra bowed to the spirit beast. "I imagine a few eyebrows would raise if they caught eye of a Aurai." She was surprised to hear they were of noble blood. "You're of Wind Calgor nobility?" She recognized his parent's names from her schooling. "My name is Alandra Grayson. Only daughter of the Grayson household, and second heir to the throne. Though a little unwillingly." She covered her mouth at that bit. 'I didn't want to let that slip!' She panicked a little bit at the mention of to much information.

"Princess Alandra?" He seemed skeptical. "My Aunt said you were irreproachable and said i should learn a proper mode of decorum from Alandra Grayson..." He eyed her and burst out in a fit of laughter. Peanie seemed amused as well. 'I'd enjoy witnessing the look on your Aunts face if she ever found out the little princess is just as flighty as her embarrassment of a nephew.' Peanie returned the girls bow and landed on her shoulder shifting into a small sparrow.
