Wolf gave a small huff and turned away when Silas looked him in the eyes but didn't completely brush him off, this was because he felt something familiar from Silas. Kouh watched Akkina walk away and shrugged it off as her needing to do something elsewhere, "So you all are good friends I presume?" she asked with a friendly smile.

Titan grew weary of having to stoop in the shop. He had started to develop a slight crick in his neck and he desperately wanted to leave. When he heard her gasp, he quickly straightened from his bow-as much as he could anyway- and raised a questioning eyebrow. When JG exclaimed that she knew she was being watched, his suspicions cemented into knowledge. This girl was extraordinarily smart and had instincts he couldn't fathom. Not many could tell when his little eyes were watching them, so subtle their presence.

When she took a step to follow, he felt a warmth, knowing he had started to gain this wild girl's trust. Yet, she immediately doubted him once again! She asked for a weapon of all things. If she wished to steal from Titan, he'd let her have a bag or two of the fake coin and watch her rot for spurning his charity! But he quelled his own suspicions, knowing two people assuming the other is not to be trusted would never come to a resolution. "Very well... let me see what I have in," Rafael looked up for a moment, "your size." The joke hung in the air for a moment. He rummaged through the vast amount of pockets and caches he had on his person, finally coming upon a small blade, a token from his first bounty.

"Here, you can have this, but don't lose it. It has sentimental value." He handed over the blade, sheathed. It was too small for him to use, encompassed by his fist when he closed his fingers around the item. Yet it was a good blade and Titan was loathe to part with it.

Silas nodded to her question before actually answering. "Yes, though we met Randy only recently. Akkina and I-" he cut off as he realized that she had walked out from under his arm without a word. Why did she keep doing that? Scratching the back of his head, Silas looked up and down the street. She was not anywhere to be seen. "Did you see where Akkina wandered off to? She's got a condition and leaving her alone is simply a bad idea.." He felt worry turn his stomach into a ball of lead.

@WittyWolf Kyato was walking when he seen Akkina fall over, he scrambled over to her and reached for her to help her get up, he swung her arm around his neck and began to walk back the way the way she came following her small but weak voiced directions " Hey I've got a girl here, help!!!" Kyato shouted at the top of his voice to attract Silas' attention

Randy nodded as Silas explained Randy's relation to them. Then he whipped to see... Kyato attending to Akkina. How the fuck did he get down here so fast? Ah whatever, Randy went over and helped Akkina too.

The guard slumped to the ground, knocked out cold. "That's the last of the perimeter guards." Raven said to himself as he loaded his gun. While everything was going on, the Raven had been taking out Kyato Corp perimeter guards. His targets were Silas and Akkina, with bounties posted by some very, very rich dude. Although Raven knew Akkina should be brought back alive (making his job harder) he didn't care for Silas. Some guy already got the bounty on the third target, so Raven decided he could deal with him also. Anyone else would be met with a hailstorm of bullets too.

Raven sprinted towards a bush nearby, his exo suit making just enough noise to not be heard, apart from a trained trapper. He watched the group of four, identifying the two bounty targets, and two other men who could get in his way.

@WittyWolf
JG saw a restrained flash of anger pass over the man's face; perhaps he had not been aware of it being visible, but she could see the signs. She immediately frowned. Had there been a misunderstanding, or was this man really trying to lull her into the false sense of security she had just fallen out of? She gave him the benefit of the doubt. She was embarrassed again when he started to look for a weapon of his to give her. When he jested of her size she reacted a little late, squinting and sticking her tongue out at him briefly. She was impressed by the number of compartments he had visible and hidden amongst his person and wondered absently whether his size was what allowed him to carry so much. Eventually he pulled out a dagger, and pursed her lips and narrowed her pupils seeing the object of her desires. It was a little bigger than what she would normally have gone for, but still hide-able amongst her person. She could tell he was heartbroken to part with it though, and felt somewhat guilty. The blade and sheath were beautifully crafted, it felt like a crime to tarnish them.

"I..thank you..." she said, accepting the blade with both hands and bowing her head respectfully. "I cannot guarantee I can keep it safe, unfortunately. I have a tendency to wake up in places I did not settle in to sleep, with or without my possessions. A curse or a gift, I can't decide." She paused and thought for a second. "Maybe you would loan it to me for the day, until I find a suitable replacement from the market?" she asked tentatively.

@JG
Titan never saw JG's childish behavior, so absorbed was he in the search of a good weapon. With such a delicate figure, he wanted her to have some sort of personal protection and security. There was no better way he knew than having a solid blade in your hands. He noticed her watching him as he had searched through his coat. She could have counted the number, but they were a confusing set of pouches and pockets, more often than not the two stitched together. When she asked him for a loan, he could have laughed, but this time he knew her to be serious.

"I truly have no need of it JG, it's yours." Rafael insisted, waving away her insistence of giving back the knife. Hearing her predicament, a few ideas churned into motion as to how to help her. The large man wondered if the girl minded jewelry, not seeing any on her hands, face, or ears. He'd have to tinker with his Gears, but he imagined he could find something to help the girl out. His muscle suddenly cramped and he gave a slight growl at the muscle lock-up. "Now, can we please leave?" I truly hate this establishment, at the moment."

Silas felt himself momentarily fill with anger, but quickly breathed it out. "Kouh and Wolf, it was a pleasure, but I must take my leave! Find us if you want for company!" he shouted back at the pair, following Randy and passing him after half the distance. Before he'd fully stopped, Silas had his sword drawn and the point tucked under Kyato's chin. "Move away from my Akkina, you dog!" Silas's eyes momentarily flashed a brilliant burnished copper, but his nails had turned black and pointed. His arm seemed to almost vibrate with how much he fought against his own impulses to just murder the man in front of him. "Back away now!"

@WittyWolf Akkina shook her head slightly and looked at Silas "He is helping us. He wants to help" Akkina said to Silas sweetly and smiled lightly then looked at Randy, and then nodded to him before walking to Silas and hugged Silas tightly and kissed lightly, She lay down DDurandal and then looked at Kyato, who didn't move to get it, therefore he was helping them

Randy sighed as he walked up to Silas, moving the sword away. "Calm down man, right now, Kyato isn't important." It was sort of all well and good until some guy with black hair and a machine gun walked out of a bush.

"Well, well, well. I'm sure you are all one big, happy family now, buuut, I'm gonna have to break it up a little." Raven said with a condescending tone. He then pointed the gun at the group. "Hand over Silas and Akkina. Now." He threatened.

@GingerBoi123 Kyato shook his head to the bounty hunter and laughed at him again and again then walked to him and smiled "Your presence ISN'T authorized by Kyato Corp, have you seen Seto Kyato first, come back when you do" Kyato kept the pretence going hoping that HE backed off from the group. Kyato reached in to his pocket and then pressed a GPS tracker device hopefully his guards come before trouble kicked off.

@The Slenderman

Raven simply laughed. "Authorisation? Have you actually ever hired a bounty hunter before? I don't need 'authorisation'." Raven explained, he then pointed the gun directly AT Kyato. "Now, like I said, hand over Akkina and Silas."

@GingerBoi123 Kyato reached for his sword and pointed it towards the bounty hunter and smiled at the hunter and got in to a combat stance against the bounty hunter, as he did that, a large group of Kyato Corp Guard ran into the scene, Kyato watching for any distractions from the bounty hunter got ready to attack him, but first Kyato had to run towards the man which would cost Kyato some time .

@GingerBoi123@The Slenderman

Silas grit his teeth, biting back a protest. It seemed priorities had changed with the arrival of this latest bounty hunter. Knowing he couldn't protect both himself and Akkina, he quickly chanted a spell while Kyato and Raven verbally sparred. The familiar spell of protection shimmered into existence around Akkina, while he put a foot on her sword and kicked back, sliding it over to her. With that out of the way, he unbuckled his sword belt and took off his quiver, throwing it towards Randy. "Keep those safe for me, Randy. Secondly, I'd suggest running."

With that, Silas reached deep within himself and broke the shackles he kept around his heart. The rage and pain he'd kept from his conscious thoughts bubbled over, finally breaking a self-made seal. "QUICKLY!" he roared, his voice layered with a second tone, almost like a beast's roar. Thus his transformation started. His eyes stayed golden, while his skin began darkening. His hair grew longer and ragged. His body itself made cracking noises as his bone structure contorted into a new monstrous figure. He fell onto hands that were no longer hands but paws with wickedly long claws. His legs grew longer and his knees made sickening pops as the joints reversed. He screamed as his face elongated and his nose and jaw bones elongated.

Within half a minute, Silas had gone from man to lycan, fully assuming his wolf form. What was once Silas had a hate-filled gaze, aimed squarely at Raven. The Wolf howled in a hair-raising volume and saliva dripped from his maw. A deep and threatening growl emanated from the beast's throat as he began to circle around Kyato, who'd gone into the fray ahead of Silas before. The beast looked between Raven and Kyato, waiting for one or both of them to make a move. The three made a loose triangle in the middle of the street, which had suddenly vacated. Interested spectators had fled once they had seen Silas's final transformation, scared out of their minds for their lives.

@WittyWolf Kyato looked at the wolf then pointed to the Bounty Hunter, to signal that he was the enemy. Kyato stepped forward to the hunter and pulled out his pistol and pointed it towards the bounty hunter, to even the odds that were between them, Kyato smiled as he walked to the hunter slowly.

Akkina reached for the Durandal and she pulled it up off the ground and raising it to the air and then sheathed her sword on her back sword sheath though she wanted to get in to the fight so badly. She looked at Silas who had turned into a lycan.

@WittyWolf
JG bowed her head again in thanks, and stashed the sheathed blade under her vest. How the blade was secured under her clothing was a woman's secret, but essentially, the blade would be hidden from most angles but easy and quick to draw in case of danger. Importantly, it would be safe from theft, as few would be able to draw her blade without her seeing and intercepting their movement. She raised a quizzical eyebrow when he growled, and then smirked when she realised the reason behind it.

"You lead, I'll follow..." she said, sarcastically bowing and waving her hand in the direction of the door as he had done to her earlier.

This time she would follow, more confident with her new weapon. As she followed him out of the shop and into the street, she stopped in front of the tailor's entrance and looked around. Something about the atmosphere here had changed since she had entered the shop. Commotion nearby, maybe? She cocked her head to concentrate on her hearing, almost summoning her feline ears before she remembered she had no disguise for them. With so many people in the market it was hard to focus, but she thought she could hear aggressive shouting, and the clinking of armour in unison.

"I think that trouble you were talking about may have caught up with us. Shall we go watch the show, or find somewhere quieter?" she asked. She assumed she needn't specify that watching the show would put them at risk of getting caught in the crossfire, but also increased their chances of having or wanting to meddle with the whole affair.

Akkina without any fear wandered to Silas in his lycan form and attempted to hold his hand-- Paw and she turned to around to his front and lay her hands on his cheeks softly "Stop, Kyato is not a enemy of us.. please" Akkina begged him, pleading him she was very insure that it will work though, She just left that to chance. Although she was holding Durandal in her hand, She realized that and dropped it to the ground.

Meanwhile, Humphrey had been packing. Things didn't get this bad very often. Rarely got much worse than the occasional scuffle outside. But every few years, the East Market would explode into riotous action with bounty hunters scouring the streets and all sorts of conflict. He had learned years ago to watch out for when this started up because he had several friends killed in previous flare-ups. Whenever he felt that the time had come again, he had gotten into a routine of simply closing up the pawn shop and leaving to visit his family. He regretted going back on his promise to give Akkina a place to stay, but she was one of the main causes of the flare-up this time, and he had no obligations to her—he hardly knew her. He comforted himself by thinking that she was a smart girl and a competent swordswoman. She could take care of herself.

He shooed out the remaining loiterers within the shop, locked up the front door, shut and locked the windows, and left through a back door that led directly into the city walls. It was dark and musty, unused for many years, but he lit a torch that stood just within, loaded up the cart he kept there with his luggage, turned left, and headed toward the East Gates so he could waste no time getting out of the City (because only the East Gates and North Gates leads directly out of the city—the rest of the gates lead into the city itself).

FM decided it would be best if he left to countiue he's exploration of the market. He finds himself watching what seems to be a small scuffle going on, between a werewolf, and a bounty hunter, or something along those lines. "Well maybe I should spice things up a bit." He says to himself. And with that he begins, first he blinds everyone with a quick spell, then he stands in the middle of the group in the most nonchalant position possible."So whats everyone doing?" Quickly going through the minds of the people around him he discovers, everything he needs to know."Well,well,well what have we here seems like we got a bounty hunter and two bounties right here. I wonder how much would I get if I captured all three of you?"

@Snarfulblast Akkina looked at the new person who was standing in the middle of the group, due to her being chosen, She kicked him out of her mind easily and then walked forward a little "I'm being hunted down by bounty hunters, my friends are trying to protect me" Akkina said lightly and watched the persons stature and tried to understand his motives for being there.
