"Sqwaaa! Thief!" The shriek gave chills down her spine as she ran through the crowd, carrying a huge katana.
She had to run faster or the horrid bird would grab her and rip her tail off.
"Why did I have to take this huge piece of junk…" she thought as she ran full speed down a narrow alley with the blue-feathered shopkeeper not far behind.
She noticed a few little children playing and quickly jumped over the tarus, giving them a rather huge shock. She then rushed down a few sharp corners to enter into a bigger alley that she was too familiar with. She ran a few feet deeper into the area, and then stopped to catch her breath and check if he was still giving chase. Right as if following exactly where she was, she watched the yagudo run right behind her and look at her viciously.
"Give it back, sqwaaaa, now!" he gave as a final warning.
She looked back and started running again, only to have her run into something hard, like a brick wall.
In a low voice, the stranger mumbled, "Excuse me."
As the blonde-haired mithra looked up, she saw a male elvaan of huge stature with a huge brown coat and brown fishing hat, only to be grabbed by the talons of the yagudo.
"Let me go!" she shrieked and squirmed, trying to break his grip.
"Sqwaa, give me my merchandise back then!" it replied.
The mysterious elvaan watched for a few seconds as they tangled until he could not watch anymore.
"How much is that blade?"
The yagudo finally got back the blade and showed it to the elvaan.
"Its design is nothing comparable by any blacksmith! Said to even be wielded by the infamous Gilgamesh! Its price is about 20,000 gil, and nothing less."
The mithra grumbled a few curses to the yagudo, a few choice words about how his brain is not fully grown.
"I'll buy it," the elvaan mumbled while handing him a bag of gil.
"Thank youuuu, sqwaa, for you purchase," the yagudo squawked, followed by a bow as he took his leave of the alley. The mithra, still pouting, got up from the ground and dusted herself off. She looked back to the elvaan, watching him unsheathe the magnificent blade and look at it like he knew something about such weapons.
"This is a nice blade, you've got a good eye for craftsmanship but… it's defiantly not from Gilgamesh," the tall figure murmured.
He sheathed it again and pointed the handle to the mithra.
The looked at him with a questionable face, "What? You bought it."
"I couldn't see you get hurt, besides… I don't need one of these things again," he exclaimed and smiled.
She grabbed the giant of a sword and cradled in her hands as if a newborn baby.
"Well, take care of the sword. I've got to go."
The elvaan waved and walked out of the valley, but the mithra did not want to lose him. She followed silently behind him, but could not do her best with the katana in her hands. So she tied it to her back with some string she found on the groun and stalked the mysterious elvaan through the city. He ran in and out of a few shops, with her hiding behind doors, walls, and shop carts. She watched him closely like he was her prey. He eventually came out of a storage shop with a huge box of white, sparkling equipment that she has never seen before but saw him looking in her direction and quickly took refuge behind an alleyway. The elvaan gave a huge smile and walked down the street, past the alley she hid in and continued towards theredidential building. She gave chase as he continued toward the huge building, praying not to lose him.
The elvaan slowlyl walk up the steps of the building's entrance and into a long hallway of rooms. She quickly followed him with the katana hitting her back with every step. The elvaan looked down at his key number, and followed the room's numbers untill he saw his. He placed the box down, opened the door wide, and walked into the room, box in hand. The mithra thought she could not go any farther, so she sat down by the opened door and waited for him to exit.
A yell broke the silence of the hall," You can come in if you like."
The mithra opened her eyes widely and was shocked that he knew she was taking chase but sat there, worried.
"I know you're out there, I don't bite" he jokingly yelled.
She got up and walked into the door, with her hands and feet dragging the floor as is she was sorry. She looked at him through her blonde hair as her face pointed to the floor. She noticed he was lying on the room's bed, with his brown hat on the table, the box laying next to the door.
"Don't look so sad, you did very well. Just these ears can pick up more than just sound," he chuckled.
"Why did you do that for me, a dirty, gil-less thief?" she asked him as her eyes then went the same direction as her face.
He shrugged and sat up from his bed, showing his messy black hair and looked at her with dark brown eyes, "I do a lot of things I still don't see why, but I don't regret doing them."
"Thank you," she bowed but her stomach spoke louder than her voice, giving her a very awkward feeling.
He began chuckling a little bit and she got up from bowing with a tear going from her eye.
"I didn't mean to make you sad…" he got up and walked over to where she stood, "if you would like, I can take you out eat if I knew my way around this town."
She looked up to him with her teary blue eyes and gave the biggest smile, "I know a few places!"
She grabbed him by the arm and began pulling him out of his room. He reached for his hat as she dragged him out of the room and only being able to touch it before the two left the room.
"I'd like to know where we going," he said bumble as he was forced to go where ever she wanted. "One of the best restaurants in the Kuzotz region, of course!"
He thought to himself that this is going to make him completely broke after this and gave a nervous smile as the excited mithra pulled him through the busy streets of Rabao.
