Runya walked slowly and liquidly though the crowds, her ears pricking up at the sound of familiar voices. This was where she grew up, she may as well of lived in this market for she was here every day, the stall holders would not recognise her now because her long curly locks were cut off and she had changed in many other ways since the last time she had been there. She looked around and marvelled at how different the place was, but how it really hadn't changed at the same time. It was still the same atmosphere, the same layout, the same sorehead that resulted from the screams in either ear and the very same wares being sold, but it was somehow much more meagre. She sat on an empty barrel, it seemed that everything that used to be plentiful was now in very short supply and that every person who walked by had drawn and gaunt faces. She frowned and sighed as she stood and continued to walk, this place had not lost it's charm, but it had lost something she just couldn't put her finger on what exactly that something was.

Brendon sat on one of the stalls looking slightly bored at a woman who was walking along the market. She was quite attractive and looked slightly puzzled at somthing. A group of people had gathered around to were he perched and were admiring his toucan form. He inwordly snorted as he took of and slowly followed the woman, he enjoyed this moment of concelement were he could see what she was up to but it would not last long. He was sure she would notice a brightly colored toucan following her eventually. He perched to a stall right next to her and satwaiting for her next move.

Runya smirked as she looked to her left slightly, she had seen that bird around the camp...as she had seen the man that could become it. She didn't know his name though and was quite sure he was a new addition to the bandits. Plus a brightly coloured toucan wasn't exactly a normal sight in Arnor. She gave him a stern look which basically meant 'follow me....right now' before she moved off quickly but unsuspisciously into a shaded alleyway and leaning against the wall. When bandits were out and about they had to blend in and becoming a bright bird was not exactly inconspicuous, she frowned, lately the heat had been on her, especially since she had killed on of the highest ranking of King Henry's knights...the King had a personal vendetta against her. She waited for the bird to fly into the alley, a frown plastered on her face. [/sub][/center]

Brendon smirked as she noticted him and told him to follow, stealing an apple from one of the vendors when he wasn't looking he flew off into an ally were the woman was waiting for him. He knew that she was a bandit but he was new to the group and didn't really know anyone yet. When he made it to the ally he changed mid land landing on human fight instead of bird, he took a bite out of the apple and stood looking at the girl with a raised eyebrow waiting for to tell him whatever she need to tell him.

Runya frowned, this man might not be on the top of King Henry's hit list, but people with powers tended to hide them. She spoke quietly but sternly "Do you know what would happen if you were caught, you would put the whole of the group in danger." she frowned, but then softened slightly "Now I know you are new and the last thing I want is to make you feel uneasy around me, but at least try to blend a bit more...only use your power if you are in danger." she smiled slightly as she looked at him, she felt like she was being quite stern but it was the last thing that was needed right now, King Henry had stepped up his attacks...he still didn't know where the camp was but it was only a matter of time before he did. "I don't believe we've actually me, I'm Runya Dae, the second in command" she extended her hand in greeting and smiling, cocking her head to the side. [/sub]

Brendon smirked at her stern tone he took another bite before answering "I'm not to worried about getting caught, you'd be suprised at how fast old henrys men run when they see a six hundred pound tiger running after them..... but i suppose i could be a bit more on the down low for you love." he said with a smirk, he normal didn't mind the stares he got when he was in animal form he actual enjoyed it which was why he picked such flashy animal forms but he didn't need his boss on his enemys list so he obeyed her. He shook her hand with a smile "Brendon Alucard, nice to meet you....if you don't mind me asking why are you wondering around this place by yourself?" he asked curiously.

Runya smiled before she spoke "Let's call it recon" she moved to walk away but before she did she turned to him "Come on...I'll show you the tricks of the trade." When Runya started out she was quite the theif, taking things in plain view of people was her specialty, sleight of hand if you like. After all, the best place to hide something is in plain sight. She smiled cheekily, she hoped that there would be no 'run ins' with any of King Henry's men today, there probably would be though. The color of her eyes flashed with fire as she smiled and the man. He looked about the same age as her but she had been doing this longer, she was more experienced she assumed...or she wouldn't be the second in command. That's why she had decided to let him tag along with her for the day, to teach him how to be a 'good' bandit, if that's how you'd put it. She began to walk away again and back in to the tense and grey atmosphere of the market. [/sub][/center]

Brendon smirked at her before following "You sure i can't change into anything, i mean nobody would say anything if they saw a white bengal tiger walk up and steal some coins?" he said grinning at her playfully, it was true that no one would say anything everyone would be in to much shock of the apperance of a tiger to actually do anything. They walked into the cold market streets and Brendon looked at her "Well then boss what shall we do now?" he asked her as he admired a nice pair of daggers.

Runya smiled as Brendon eyed a pair of daggers she looked at him her eyebrow raised "You like 'em?" she smiled cheekily and moved forwards without waiting for an answer "Wait and Watch". She walked over to the stall and looked at a very expensive crossbow, as she had expected the stall holder came bustling over to her and asked her if she wanted it. Runya sighed dramatically "Hm, I'm not sure I'll only buy it if I you have a set of silver tipped arrows for it. It's a birthday present for my father and he loves contraptions like this." she smiled politely as she postioned herself so that she was standing with the daggers to her left and the stall holder to her right. The stall holder muttered something about 'not sure might have some'. The people here were very quiet when they sold weapons, she didn't feel bad about what she was about to do since obviously the man had enough money to order in the items and to sell them off for double the price was stealing in itself. He produced a pouch and pulled eight arrows from it, she leaned forward to 'inspect' the items and to mask her hands. She frowned and spoke as he tried desperately to point out all the good things about them, but truthfully Runya wouldn't buy those arrows...bad craftmanship.
She slowly and inconspicuously put the daggers into the two dagger sheaths on the left hand side of her belt that were empty, she didn't want to attract attention with her own daggers that were engraved with the vial bandits insignia so she had left them in her hut. Only the highest fourteen had this sign on their weapons this showed that they had proved themselves in battle or in some other way, but with this honor came the fact that they became known to that arse of a King...Henry. She shook her head as though she was contemplating the arrows and the crossbow, but she looked them over and frowned "They're not what I'm looking for, but if I can't find anything else I'll come back later" she nodded and smiled lightly as she walked away from the stall and back over to Brendon, handing him the daggers she smiled "Easy as pie" she laughed and walked on towards more stalls.

Brendon smiled at her as she gracefully stole the twin daggers and handed it to him, "Beautifull and talented, your just the whole package aren't ya." he said with a grin to her as he admired the daggers. "now of course i could have done that myself, but you said not to bring attention to us and i'm....." he stopped at midsentance as a sparrow perched on a stall next to them. He looked at the bird for a few secounds before it flew of to a flower stand and stole a rose, he flew back to Brendons shoulder and looked at Runya chittering slightly. "He says its for you, sorry we couldn't find somthing bigger but theres limited possibillities when your working with a sparrow." he said grinning as he took the rose from the bird and handed it to her.

Runya smiled as he spoke "Talented, yes, beautiful...maybe." she listened as he spoke again and stopped abruptly to stare at a small bird. The bird flew off and returned with a rose in it's mouth, perching on Brendon's shoulder it chittered to him and Runya laughed as he spoke and handed her the rose. "Smooth..." she smiled and started to walk forwards. "So can communicate with animals too then..." she was still smiling and twirling the stem of the rose in between her thumb and forefinger. [/sub]

Brendon snorted as she spoke "Oh come off it, you are very beautifull." he said rolling his eyes at her. He smiled slyly at her before replying "yes i can, it comes with the whole changing into animal thing." he said with a smirk, the sparrow sat on his shoulder for a few secounds before it flew of. "So the littly birdie was curious, do you like the flower or did he just was't his time?" he asked her grinning slightly as he finished of his apple and tossed it.

Runya smiled without saying anything as he said she was beautiful, the last person to call her beautiful and mean it was her father...and the actual last person to call her beautiful ended up, shall we say, not quite a man anymore. She was a bandit, a thief and people like her shouldn't be beautiful, beautiful wasn't going to scare off King Henry now was it. She sighed "The flower is lovely" she said nothing more about it, in this line of work feelings couldn't get in the way of what needed to be done, feelings were a weakness that she just couldn't have, that she hadn't had since she saw her family lying dead. She shook away the memory that haunted her and continued to walk. [/sub]

Brendon looked at her for a moment, She didn't seem to impressed with the flower. Maybe now wasn't the time to go and try and sweep her of her feet. He cleared his throat slightly and smiled at her "Well what now boss?" he asked her trying to make small talk, maybe she wasn't the type of girl to be impressed by such lady like things as flowers and romantic words and things, maybe she was wooed by bravery and strength he thought to himself as they continued to walk down the streets silently.

Runya frowned, she didn't actually know what was next...she frowned even deeper as she spied a group of King Henry's men the basic ones that were all brawn and no brain. She sighed as the looked at her, they all knew what she looked like, Henry ha d a personal vendetta against her seeing as how she had killed his best man. They moved forward "I suppose they are" she said pointing at the group of ten, she looked at him and moved swiftly into another dark alleyway, she wouldn't kill them in broad daylight. [/sub]
