JG was pleasantly surprised that the man who's faced she'd just scratched up decided not to retaliate. In fact he'd lost interest in her altogether. She chuckled to herself quietly so as not to attract any attention, and then twisted her upper body slightly to look at the girl who had just hidden behind her. She gave her a warm smile and then turned around to face her fully.

"Shall we find somewhere quieter?" she asked, offering her hand for Kouh to hold. "What's your name? I'm JG." she continued.

At the same time she was eavesdropping on the bounty hunter's conversation. So reckless of them to discuss their plan so close to strangers. They must have felt pretty confident in their abilities. She wondered where she could take the young girl to safety that wasn't too far from the lycan's body, so she could still keep an eye on it, but no thoughts came to her. Except...maybe that empty tailor's shop...

JG wondered with amusement whether she was seeing the young girl the same way Rafael had seen her, and whether she had misunderstood Kouh's true nature the way Rafael had hers.

He seems cool, but your CS hasn't really explained whether the gender-bending is simply a disguise or if it's a real transformation. It looks like the female form is a lot younger than his male form?

P.S. I edited my last post slightly as I'd confused Randy and Raven. :P

JG was peeking round the corner of a building, watching the two bounty hunters trying to lift the lycan's corpse. One of them suddenly started swearing and ran off, leaving his companion and the corpse behind. Reinforcements for the girl, perhaps? A noise above her caught her attention and she looked up at the rooftops of the two buildings on either side of her, but saw nothing. Then a noise behind her alerted her of Kouh's landing. She turned to see a strange sight. A small girl stood before her, tugging at the bottom of her shirt like a nervous child. JG blinked in disbelief. This was something she wasn't used to dealing with. Her feline attributes forced maternal instincts onto her. She softened her features towards the child.

"I'm sorry honey, I'm as clueless as you are, but it looks dangerous. Is there anywhere you can hide safely nearby?" she asked gently.

Something about the girl seemed peculiar. She seemed far too well kempt for a street urchin, and what parent would leave their child unatteneded with trouble brewing? Caution crept up within her.
Distracted by the child, she didn't hear Randy arrive until it was too late and he held her by the shirt. Shocked, she hissed forcefully at him, splashing droplets of saliva on his face as a distraction. A split second later, her claws came out quick as lightnening and she scratched him across the face horizontally from ear to eye. She could have used the knife Rafael had given her, but she'd acted on instinct. Not waiting for a reaction she then planted her right foot on his chest and pushed as hard as she could, twisting her upper body in the opposite direction to tear herself away from his grasp, or at least gain some distance if he had chosen to release her after being scratched. She knew that her shirt was not tough enough to withstand the motion, so either he would let go, or her shirt would tear and he would lose his grasp on her. She would not let him get close to her again.

"The hell is wrong with you?! I have no idea where he is, last I saw him he was with you!" she growled, her face flushed with anger.

Oh hang on, I get it. I meant 'who isn't a LotR fan' not 'who isn't starving' ;)

JG listened carefully as Raphael whispered in her ear. She nodded her head briefly signalling she would not argue.

"Signal if you need help." she whispered back as discretely as she could.

She then pirouetted gracefully from under his arm, happy to be free although she had gradually acclimatised to him. She faced him and bowed her head respectfully before trotting off via a narrow street. She purposely did not choose the direction in which the lycan's corpse was situated so as not to arouse suspicion. As far as anyone watching her could tell, she may have been told to simply seek refuge and wait for him to return.

JG didn't look to see if anyone was following so as not to tempt them. Instead, she relied on her other senses to help 'see' anyone who might trouble her. She trotted discretely through windy passages, genuinely getting slightly lost at one point, but eventually looping back towards the location of the body. She made sure to stay well out of ear or eye-shot from the group, and luckily the wind was blowing towards her so anyone with a heightened sense of smell would not detect her either. She slowed as she neared the square where the brief battle had taken place. Frustrated, she noticed the body was being guarded. She stayed hidden and waited to see if they would move it.

I think I missed the reference there...

That...sounded like an innuendo... :S

JG held her breath when Raphael draped his arm around her shoulders, very careful not to react. She stayed as still as possible and watched Raven walk away from the corner of her eyes. The other one was still eating his sandwich noisily and wasn't buying their story at all. Though that didn't mean they shouldn't keep at it. Suddenly, the unexpected happened. The bounty, which she recognised from the screen Raphael had showed her (pink hair was not all that common even here), was handing herself in. JG let go of the cloak but stayed under the Titan's arm, giving him the freedom to claim his bounty without her accidentally pulling him back. Watching Akkina, she tried to read her body language to assess whether she truly had been broken. She couldn't decide. She seemed in a fragile state of emotions, but that could mean she could flip at any moment as well as meekly let herself be taken. She noted with amusement that even Raven seemed confused by the situation.
