*Malinda purred slightly as she rolled onto her back, hands behind her head as she looked up and into the slightly cloudy heaven. slowly her hand raised towards the sky, her well cared for nails gave off the reflection of the sun due to the water besides of her, she smiled slightly and enjoyed just listning to the sound of water washing ashore in small waves. Enjoying the feeling of the hot sand touching her back and the warmth of the sun warming her relaxed body. It was just another day in her life... her travel companion was behind some large rocks, dressing into something more fitting for a day by the shore... there was nobody except the two as far as she was aware, and despite her relaxed stature, her ears functioned easily like radars right now, thanks to her race's natural superior hearing ability, She sighed slightly. Not a bored or depressed sigh, but something along the lines of an content or glad sigh. A tiny smile present on her lips as she thought about how good a life she was leading right now, always having enough money and having a such a good friend as Lake, she was truely blessed by whatever greater entity there exsisted. Despite being together with Lakeisha for so long, her faith had yet to rub onto Malinda*

*She slipped the top over her head and down her arms, fitting her small form perfectly, she nodded satisfied and picked up the sandals with one hand, stepping onto a small rock, she would make a small jump onto the larger stone, then simply stepped off it, landing gracefully in the sand. She countined towards the lying form of her best and only friend, Madelena. She was sure the catwoman had already noticed her walking closer, that hearing ability of hers was impressive, that was for sure. She smiled sweetly as the catgirl opened her eyes and looked upon her with those lazy gazes she always threw when she was comfortable. She gave a little smile in return and sat down besides of her, the hand running though the sand and filled her palm with it, raising it above her head to look at it with an curious gaze before simply laying down besides of her friend and closing her eyes, enjoying the warm sand and sun, hearing the small purrs from her friend, her smile grew a bit wider*

*Sebastian was knelt in silence behind the woman who was changing...his breath was short and sweat beaded on his head..his cloth vest was torn to shreds...and blood rolled down his well defined torso. without a sound he removed his top and rolled it up placing it in his bag so no stray rags would be left behind...the danger was he may leave a trail of blood..so from a small pouch he smeared his wounds with the wax of a small herb that would clot the wounds and help them heal faster. The downside was the great pain that seared through the wounds for a minute or two after application..it was this that drew the stifled groan of pain from his tired lips. Sebastian was trying to remain unseen...but he was in no state to care if he was heard anymore..He staggard from the undergrowth as the woman stepped over the rock and dissapeared from sight..Sebastian found his body slumping against the rock and his breaths came heavily and fast as he recovered from the injuries he had recieved. In his bag Sebastian had the information he had been sent to retrieve about the Aeon on this island...but he had been caught and as a result he left two dead men in his wake...no one could know what he carried..no one could know who he was...somehow he had to recover and then make his way to the drop off. Sebastian spat blood onto the sand...he could hear two people on the beach...these people could either aid or jeapordise his misson..Sebastian could only hope they were of a neutral faction and could aid him in his escape. What would the brotherhood do to him if he failed?*

*another sweet purr escaped her lips before her ears picked up another sound, a sound that sounded a bit like the combination of spitting and choking... it reminded her off the sound of spitting up blood. She motioned for her companion to keep quiet... her mind thought back to when the undergrowth had given off sounds as well, that was what alerted her in the first place, She pinched her eyes together slowly and looked towards the rocks where the monk had emerged from, raising a hand towards her friend, she combined her index and thumb to create an O, and then held up only her index, afterwards she would finally clutch her hand. Opening it again to slowly move unheard towards the location where the sounds had come from. Using the natural advantage of her cat race and the already almost soundless sand to keep as quiet as possible. Her left hand clutched around the sheat of her dagger, slowly letting it slide out of it's scabbard. She blinked three times as she was close to the rock, making sure her eyes was ready for combat if needed, then she would slide her sandals off and leap onto the rock, making next to no sound once again*

*The second her friend had been alarmed, Lakeisha had been alarmed as well, she had slipped out of her sandals as the first signal was formed, she nodded slowly and crouched low, moving as close to the water as she dared before moving towards the rocks as well, she did her very best at sneaking, but wasn't exactly an expert on that field and when compared to her friend, she sounded like a flock of raging rhinos and Lakeisha wasn't exactly noisy. As her friend lept on top of the rock while still staying low, Lakeisha excuted next step of the plan, she stepped into the water and ran a few steps to make her appear in plain sight, she didn't turn to look in the direction Malinda had directed her towards, instead she merely slowed down to a normal walk and continued forwards, It was an simple plan if you thought about it, but it was complex enough to trick most*

*Sebastian remained pressed against the rock, his breathing had become shallow now and as he blinked he noticed his eyes had become blurred. His body was tired...fatigued from the fight before and the running he had done..he had come such a long way without stopping and he was about ready to collapse, only adrenaline and the strict discipline of his mental and physical training kept him awake. As he lay there he knew he had given himself away...you would have to have been deaf not to hear him coughing and stumbling about..even in this muffled atmosphere of sand and crashing waves. As he lay there he heard the distinct sound of a weapon being drawn..then nothing, even as he strained himself he picked up nothing...not until he heard footsteps in the water..if he had the strength he would have pushed himsefl up to try and see who was around..if he had done Sebastian would have raised himself to be face to face with a stranger...instead he remained still...lying there face down on the rock..his breathing slow and his eyes closed..all he did was listen..no longer caring if he could be seen or not.*

*The catwoman slowly tilted her head to one side as the dagger slided back into it's scabbard, she raised up in her full height on top of the stone and lept from it and onto the sand in front of the figure leaning up of the rock, ragged bloody clothing and a worn out look, it took only half a second to figure out what had happened to him, she placed two fingers in her mouth and whistled sharply two times. She waited a few seconds to check for reaction, her ears functioning as radars to comfort her that he was alone before squatting down in front of her quarry. The head once again tilting as she examined him more closely* "Looks like they really messed you up" *She gave a small smile and held out a hand towards the figure, to check if he was going to instinctly defend himself and to check if he even was awake. To be honest Malinda doubted it judging from his apperance*

"It looks like they really messed you up."
*Sebastian heard these words echo around him, as if invading his senses from all around him...he let out the dullest of groans as he tried to shift his body..the muscles of his naked upper torso rippling to life as he tried to stretch his arm out to the bag that lay a few feet away from his hands..in their he had some of his medicines...Sebastian himself was in no state to apply them himself..and thankfully this woman hadn't killed him on the spot..which she could so easily have done..and if she even had the faintest clue of who he was and what he was a part of she may have been tempted to kill the man and claim the bounty that was on the head of any of the members of the brotherhood of sin. Sebastian had no choice but to trust this person though...his life was already hanging on a thread as it was..although he had killed two soldiers back their...they had both done a good job on him...and the dogs they sent after him had savaged his torso quite fiercly and only his smoke bombs had allowed him to escape them..Sebastian was stripped to the bare minimums..if the soldiers found him now..they would surely kill him.*

*The catgirl tilted her head slightly and raised one of her delicate brows even more slightly before moving her hand towards the bag, pulling it closer and opening it carefully, a hand quickly ran though it and pulled out the medicines she guess he was requesting. She had no reason to trust him, but on the other side. She might as well take care of him. After all he would owe her one afterwards. She smiled at the thought and motioned for the Human monk to come closer as she approached, holding up the medicines towards her* "You should be able to patch him up Lake, right?" *She didn't have to ask it as a question, it was obvious Lakeisha could do that, the two girls had taken care of each other many times, and Lakeisha knew a good deal of tricks about mundane medicines and first aid*

*Lakeisha took the medicines with her left hand and knelt down in front of the injured man, relying entirely on the better judgement of her companion, she examined the medicines given to her and thought of the best order to apply them in, quickly deciding on the order she found most logical. She proceeded to applying it in the order chosen. Her hands moved without doubt which showed proof that she knew what she was doing, but it wasn't as swift and fluid as it could be, which showed she wasn't a master on the field. She said a swift prayer to the unnamed god as she laid the final hands on the task given. Then nodded satisfied with the result and pulled out a roll of bandages from her own travel bag to wrap up the wounds to finish up her work completly, it lasted only few seconds before she was finished. She smiled softly and thanked the unnamed god once more before standing up... giving the remainder medicines back to the catgirl who placed them back into the bag*

*Sebastian remained in a dazed like state for sometime, though he was thankful they had chosed to aid him rather than bind him and leave him here until his pursuers could catch him and take him away...or simply kill him on the spot. The medicines were creations of Sebastian himself and slowly but surely the concocion of herbs and wild flower oils started to work into his veins..he felt that renewed energy surge through him and with a sudden shock he felt his body heave for air...Sebastian sat bolt upright and the delirious state he had once been in vanished...now he sat with sweat rolling down his forehead and neck..breathing rapidly..his deep green eyes flickered between the two who had just aided him. Sebastian nodded his head slowly and found himself pressing his hands into the ground...shakily at first he stood and then let his hand reach out for his bag...his bag contained what he was sent for..and while it was in the hands of another it was not safe..at his side were his stilletto daggers..Sebastian wasn't sure if these two were aware of what they were so close to at this moment, but he needed that bag...and he needed to get out of this place quickly..even with his wounds healing more rapidly now he still wasn't fully cured it would take time for his medicines to heal the severe wounds he had received during this mission. Sebastians tattood hand was placed out before him...a gesture for the bag the cat like being held just a few yards away from him.*
~I thank you, but you two are in danger....you musn't remain here now you have helped me.~

*The catgirl grabbed the bag with her tail and lept backwards about three feet, raising a hand slowly to move her index finger back and forth while she said a sound along the lines of -tsk tsk tsk- She shifted her weight slightly if the male wanted to attack now before she continued to speak* "not so fast my fast talking friend. First of all you tell me how you ended up in that state on this peacefull island, and then secondly you tell me what intresting things you got along with you today... pretty please" *The girl made a begging face, something similiar to a cat begging for food, her large green eyes looking so innocent at the moment, hiding the true mischivious intentions underneath. That was the way she liked to be, and she enjoyed every second of it. First she saved him, now she would be teasing and playing with him as if he were a mouse caught between her paws*

*Lakeisha knew the playfull manner of her friend and was used to scenes like this playing out, she simply raised her guard as much as she now could without appearing preparing directly for a fight, her eyes curiously moving from one to another, often quickly flicking back to keep an carefull eye on the man, who knew what he would do now that his saviour had something along the lines of robbed him. She couldn't help but smiled slightly on the inside of her calm mask, she stepped half a step backwards, so she wasn't too close for a sneak attack, but not too far away to give the man a chance to escape, not that he would get far with those wounds to slow him down, but you couldn't be too careful now could you?*

~This is dangerous game you play feline..~
*Sebastians words were cool and flowed easily through his blood spattered lips, but he would not slay those he didn not have to. They wre not his targerts and the brotherhood did not allow needless slayings in their strict ranks their was a code of honour and a brother must not give way to his primal instincts. For this reason alone he did not threaten violence on the cat like being and her companion. Sebastian stood motionless for a while, for now he would play the game they wished to play..he would tell them what he could..but to tell them all would mean death for him and for the two of them if they were to hear it. Sebastian nodded his head slowly and allowed his hand to drop down to his side now.*
~I am no friend of the soldiers who occupy this island, they stole something from my employer a long time ago...I have taken this information back...I almost gave my life for what is in that bag...and if we stay here much longer we may all lose our lives for the information in that bag...~

*The so called feline smiled widely and shifted her weight once again, obviously being more comfertable in her more catlike position than if she were standing tall. Her head tilted a bit towards the right as she looked upon the tattered man with obvious intrest and excitement* "Dangerous games are only so much more fun to play. And if i don't have fun, i don't live. Tell me what's in the bag, what is this information you risked your life so bravely for... i will have other questions later for you as well, but for now... that question will suffice for you to get your bag back" *The free hand slided backwards to the hilt of one of her daggers placed on the back of her belt, behind of her travelling bag containing her throwing knifes and clubs, Her head kept moving from one side to another, but the eyes didn't keep off him, noticing the daggers by his side, noticing the position of his hands, noticing everything, she was enticed like a kitten to a cotton ball. This were her kind of game*
