A: Hearing the boy stutter, he slowly turned his head to look back at the one practically fleeing away from him... strange... he hadn't gotten the intention, that the boy knew him... he did run away, yes... but apparently not because he knew he was talking to the king of thieves... also... that timid voice just had caused a delighted shiver down his spine... watching after the other one for a moment longer he felt intrigued, wanting to know who that boy was, where he came from... but... he had a goal... he had to get to the palace...Screwing his eyes once more he bound his horse to a place nearby... and followed the boy silently, unseen... keeping in the shadows... he would be unable to concentrate on his goal... yes... yes and that was the only reason he ran after that boy... of course... his head was full with thoughts! How should he be able to concentrate with that? His grin grew and he hid himself while following the slender teen... what he intended to get with that he didn't know - YET. He would soon find out... he was certain of that.
R: He quickly hurried off looking around. He knew exactly where they were but...how would he get to them? He let out a sigh as he continued to walk down the deserted town. "How am I suppose to get to the palace...I don't even know where it is...let alone get in..." He shook his head. He was talking to himself. Not a good sign. He looked around hoping to find someone that could help him but found no one but run down buildings. He hung his head in defeat. "Why was I sent away from them? How am I suppose to get into the Palace without him?" He slowly stopped near a building leaning against it. "Man...I should have just stayed back and let the others take care of it."
A: Stalking the poor teen all the way, he was quite interested in what he was searching exactly, and thus he chose to get on top of the buildings it was easy for him to jump over to other roofs to follow the smaller one through the city, while they moved into a direction, that Akefia knew was nothing good for strangers... here the people were more careful, reserved... brutal. He frowned and followed the smaller one further, interested in what he would do around those people... he recognized a bunch of 3 men walking along the way chatting and laughing loudly... laughing...They were drunken pretty early...
R: Ryou had jumped at hearing laughter. He looked up seeing men heading his way. He could tell they were drunk. He knew they would be no help, yet he didn't want to stick around near anyone that intoxicated. He pushed off the wall slipping into the closet alleyway hoping they wouldn't have seen him. He moved closer into the shadows keeping his eyes on the mouth of the alleyway.
A: The men apparently didn't take the slightest notice of the teen, even though they should have seen him, the way wasn't so hidden for curious eyes... and the curious eyes lay on Ryou from on the top of the roof now, a frown on the other ones forehead... could it be the other men were so drunk? He got down from the roof silently, standing right behind the other one now, pulling the hood away and letting his hand fall in a hard way on his shoulder, maybe to scare him... certainly to scare him...
R: He let out a yelp, jumping in the grip. He slowly looked behind him. His eyes widen as he saw the man from earlier. But something was different. His hood was down. He jerked away from the man turning towards him back away slightly. "W-What do you w-want?" He stuttered again fear written on his face. Why was he so afraid of this man? He took a deep breath trying to calm down.
A: Akefia's face was showing more than just plain amusement... ooohhh... that yelp was highly to his liking. He folded his arms, looking up and down Ryou. "The question is... what do you want?" His eyelids lowered a bit... he had to say he liked the voice and behavior of the other one. "I don't know where in the city you're supposed to meet up with your friends... but I don't think it is in the part of the city where the poor and really dangerous people live?" He smirked a bit... did the smaller one grant him to corner him with that... or would he wiggle out again?
R: Ryou could feel his face heat up as the man looked him over. He shivered slightly. He took a small step backwards. "I-I was s-suppose to meet t-them near the p-pharaoh's palace." He gulped taking another step backward ready to escape only to end up backing into the wall.
A: He moved after the smaller one slowly... he had not intended to REALLY corner the poor thing, but now that it set itself in that trap he wasn't able to withstand that beckoning urge... his hands met the wall at the sides of the other ones face in a languid movement. "You know... I could help you... to find the palace." He smirked a bit and leaned forward to the smaller ones ear, nuzzling with his cheek a bit. "Of course... this has a price... a favor.. I can ask from you... but... you can't be lost forever... can you?"
R: Ryou shivers from the man being so close. He moves his face away from the man looking at him from the corner of his eye. "I-If you sh-show me where the p-palace is, y-you only w-want a favor?" he stuttered before thinking. "W-what k-kind of F-Favor?"
A: Akefia smiled widely, lifting his hand and taking the other ones chin between his index finger and thumb, turning that - oh so - adorable creature's face. "What about a kiss?" The corner of his mouth twitched.
