Late Night[/url]
Behind the Bar...y’know, the one JT picks up chicks at and everyone goes to. It’s generic.
Several gunshots were heard, originating from a large handgun held by what seemed to be the leader of a small group of criminals. They all had surrounded a small, 5’2” woman. She shook in fear, wrapping herself up in her white cloak that covered the short, blue dress she wore underneath. Her silver hair blew a little in the cold wind, her deep blue eyes glancing around at all the scary men around her that had backed her against a wall.
The gun was aimed at the woman, but the bullets stopped mid-air, held in place by a strange blue aura. The group stared at the bullets in confusion for a second before shrugging it off, this was the Dojo afterall.
“Come on, I’d rather not have to beat such a beautiful face in, but...oh well. Come ‘ere, lil girl….”

Open. Join them, figure out why they want her dead, figure out why they want her dead and kill them only to go after her yourself, or defend her. Do whatever.[/spoiler]

“My name is Suzume Hiroshi. I am glad that I can help keep you safe and provide a means of protection for you.” Suzume smiles happily at Silver, now backing away a little bit to give her some space. She still had yet to take care of her own wounds, caring more for Silver than herself.
-
"I-I can heal those..." Silver placed a hand on Suzume's wounds, the damage quickly healing with no pain. Instead, a feeling of calmness and joy filled Suzume as she was healed.
-
Suzume sighs in relief and closes her eye, falling forwards onto her knees as she is overwhelmed by a strong—almost forceful—sense of happiness and joy, and she smiles as she feels herself transported back to her early childhood in her mind, watching her best memories play out in her head. A single tear trickled down her face as this happened. She had obviously tried to forget her past so much that she had cast aside her favorite and best memories.
-
Silver smiled, feeling the memory run through Suzume's head. "You okay? W-We should probably get out of the dark alley..." She nervously chuckled.
-
Suzume opens her eye and looks to Silver. “Thank you for that...and yes, we should definitely get out of this alley.” She grabs her black jingasha and puts it back on top of her head, then grabs her sheathed sword and puts it back on her waist. She then gets to her feet slowly, offering a hand to Silver.
-
Silver took the hand, holding it and clinging to Suzume's side. "Thanks, Suzume...." She leaned on Suzume lightly.
-
Suzume smiles down at Silver, ruffling her hair a little bit. “We will get along very well, I can already see it.”
-
Silver giggled, her long silver hair getting a little messy. "Oh yeah? So can I."
-
Suzume lets out a quiet laugh. “Yes, we are definitely going to get along well. Come on then, let us get out of this place, and see to it that you never have to endure such horrors again.”
-
"Alright, lead the way!" Silver happily waited to follow Suzume, humming a happy tune.
-
Suzume leads Silver out of the alleyway and holds her close with her hand as she walks alongside her on the sidewalks.
-
Silver clung to Suzume's side as they walked, smiling and humming.
-
While they walked, Suzume looked down at Silver. “Are you hungry at all? I can get you something to eat if you would like.”
-
"O-Oh, that would just be wonderful!" Silver hugged Suzume's arm a bit. "I'm actually rather hungry."
-
Suzume chuckles and nods to her. “What would you like? I myself am not very hungry, but I can certainly get you something.”
-
"I dunno...pizza? Never actually had it before, but I hear it's great!" She chuckled quietly. "If it's not too much to ask anyway..."
-
“No, I assure you it is not.” Suzume leads her to the nearest place that served pizza and then leads her inside, going up and ordering a few slices for Silver after asking what kind she would have wanted. Suzume then paid for the pizza and then looked back at Silver, pointing to one of the open tables. “Go ahead and find a seat.” She then went to the table she pointed at and took a seat while the pizza was being prepared, smiling at Silver.
-
Silver sat down and smiled back at Suzume, looking cheerful. "Thank you so much again, Suzume. This all means so much to me."
-
“Anything to see you safe, healthy, and most importantly, happy, Silver.”
-
"You're very kind, Suzume, and I think that's why I like you so much." Silver giggled a little again, continuing to smile.
-
Suzume smiles brightly, her cheeks glowing a little red. “I...do not know what to say.”
-
Edited by Stitch: 1/8/2018 8:30:56 AMSilver then blushed, realizing what she said. "I-I...that's not what I...oh dear."
-
Suzume laughs softly. “It is fine, Silver. Just a small misunderstanding.”
-
"Well, not...not exactly wrong ei-either..." Silver averted her gaze, obviously embarrassed.
-
Suzume raises her eyebrow and blushes, her eye widening a bit. “-Oh..”
