Caught off-guard by James' sudden swing, Cody brought his sword up to block the attack. However even with his limited knowledge and experience with swords, even he knew that blocking with the edge of the blade itself was a silly move.
So he decided to block it with a flat sword and used both hands to hold the sword.

"Oh it's ok deary, anything for such a cute couple as yourselves." The store owner replied bashfully, happily accepting the money and card. The owner responded with a smile at his offer to make clothes and told him she(?) would gladly take him up on it before escorting them out the door, handing Jasmine's old dress (now within a bag) to the young girl who had been silent for some time now.
"[color=f49ac2]Thank you...[/color]" Jasmine mumbled in thanks, her face a bright red as she and Robin now left the store.

Maxie still wore his frown as he looked over the photo Monsoon held. So this guy was hired to look for Ashlyn as well then....Maxie didn't need any help looking for her. Let alone from a damned outsider, just what was Georgie thinking?
"[color=f26522]I don't see why I should.[/color]" Maxie replied rudely before narrowing his eyes towards Manami. Great, she was here too? This day was just getting better and better for the Elemental wizard.
"[color=00aeef]I apologize for my....colleague's comments. Please ignore his rudeness, he acts this way towards everyone.[/color]" Manami bowed apologetically towards Monsoon before shooting Maxie a rather angry glare. It would seem these two didn't quite get along, despite being two of Shadow Heart's best wizards and were generally seen as leaders of the guild in their own right.

"[color=00aeef]I will be more than happy to share such information with you. I trust that I can pick Shiro up before you go as well?[/color]" Manami added with a polite smile. Her reaction to the situation made Maxie roll his eyes, however she ignored him and focused entirely on Monsoon to make sure that he hadn't forgotten about Shiro.
"[color=00aeef]The lastest information I know about was that she was sighted on a main road leading to Crocus, in fact it was one of the numerous reasons I came here. The information is a week old however, but a lead is a lead. Apparently she was travelling with a circus, I would presume to earn money.[/color]" She explained to Monsoon before shooting Maxie a wink. The Elemental wizard didn't seem impressed at all that one, she knew this and didn't tell him since it was HIS job to do this not hers, and two that she would tell it to this....man here.

It was certainly clear that these two didn't like working with each other at all. And the Elemental wizard just seemed to be getting more irritated by the second.
"[color=f26522].....Here. This is her locket, it means quite a bit to her but she lost it fighting with me three months ago.[/color]" Maxie said rather reluctantly and angrily as he fished into his pocket and brought out a small rusted silver locket on a bronze chain. There also seemed to be what looked like dried blood on it. Maxie now tossed the locket at Monsoon before twirling on his heels and making an effort to leave the warehouse.
He didn't care for this Monsoon fellow, all he cared about now was that there was a chance Ashlyn was here in this city. He just needed to contact Jane, the two of them could easily take down Ashlyn together and he wanted payback for the humiliation of three months ago.

Manami sighed as Maxie began to walk off but made no effort to stop him. His very presence sickened the Water mage and just his attitude made her very, very angry.
"[color=00aeef]Let me elobrate further on what Maxie said. He managed to track her down a few months back and engaged her, however it ended in his defeat but he did manage to wound her....right leg if memory serves. Was pretty nasty actually, not sure if she has fully recovered yet. He did manage to steal her locket as well, obviously, before he failed miserably. Georgie's reaction was quite humerous.[/color]" Manami was obviously trying to stop some form of laughter from breaking out as her shoulders were shaking and she wore a wide grin. Yes, that couldn't have happened to a better guy.
