Kairi stepped out of the house, the sunlight blinding her. She hadn't realized how dark it was in there. She'd have to take note so next time she didn't get blinded. She strolled down the street in a rather carefree manner, smiling all the way. As she passed various carts, she would wave across the way to the vendor, meanwhile stuffing something from it into her pocket, unnoticed, with her other hand. She had done this many a time, but always in fun. She'd always been able to return whatever she'd taken before. Now... it was for her survival. She didn't like it, but it would have to do.
~once she gets there, she takes care of the bath, letting her hair down, as a princess her hair was almost always up, once she is clean she cleans the outfit, so its jsut torn, and she goes out, leaving the key where he told her to, buying some new clothing, that looked just like the old ones, just nto torn and stained.
The sun began to shine into the room where the General of the Wolf Demon lived. Being one of the higher nobles, his quarters were stationed near that of the princes. Sitting at his desk, Spirit was deep in thought as he looked over a map of the two kingdoms, occasionally drawing small lines, dots, and X's to where the army would be stationed during defences or attacks. These new plans would be sent to the barracks, where the soldiers would train and practice these new plans until the moment the Fox Demons carried out their attack.
Though Spirit felt ill at ease with these plans. The Fox Demons were growing bolder by the day, with all their new recruits being brought in, especially since atleast one of them would have the smarts to think about their battle plans instead of just making them and running off into battle. He turned his head and stared out the window as a few birds flew by it.
Sky looked upward. A slight smile crossed her thin, red lips. Tacking her wolf form she bounded toward a set of high reaching stairs that stretched across the city. She climbed them quickly, taking them 4 at a time, and finally made it to a high set home. The wolfess stood on her hind legs, reachign quite a height for her size, and pressed the door open. The jet black animal wagged her tail, almost smiling in her canine aspect. She bowed her head then, and took her human aspect. Her tail wagged just a bit more, and her ears twitched once as she briskly walked to her general's desk.
" Spirit, I have news. "
Most wolve's called him by his rank, but Sky ahd a higher level of her own self respect. Something she ahd hard earned anyway. She was an important aspect to her kingdom. Pulling her coat back then, she pressed a few snap shots onto his desk. It showed the girl with long brown hair, and dirtied - but identifiable - white fur.
" Recognize her? "
Kairi continued wandering, pilfering a small sack of gold from a nearby vender, tying it on her belt behind her own. She was about to walk away when she felt behind her a familiar presence, almost as though the winds themselves were speaking to her. She turned and spotted a Fox Demon girl behind her with telltale white fur about her. "Ch... Champion?"
Kairi hugs her as well, then backs up, regaining her balance. "It's not safe to talk here. Let's head back to where I'm staying, and we can catch up there." She smiles and brushes the hair from her face, then waves for Champion to follow her. "Come one, it's this way!" She takes off jogging back toward the abandoned house.
Aegis breathed in very deeply and sighed sadly. "I need something to clear my mind.. or at least occupy it." He closed his eyes shut tightly and tried to ignore all of the hustle and bustle of the city road. Getting up holding his head he started to head for his home. "I hope she finished or this may get awkward..." Before he could finish he collapsed into a deserted alley.
Originally posted by Wild-CherrySpirit picked up the photos of the girl and stared at them for a minute. He nodded slightly. "I recognize her, but I don't really know from where. Maybe in time it will hit me. For now, I have a favor to ask of you." Spirit rolled of the paper with the fully completed battle plans and positions and handed them to Sky.
Sky looked upward. A slight smile crossed her thin, red lips. Tacking her wolf form she bounded toward a set of high reaching stairs that stretched across the city. She climbed them quickly, taking them 4 at a time, and finally made it to a high set home. The wolfess stood on her hind legs, reachign quite a height for her size, and pressed the door open.

" Recognize her? "
"Take these down to the barracks and give them to the Sergeant while I look into this more. I know I've recognized her somewhere, and maybe, if I can come up with some more information on her it can help us in our war against these Fox Demons. You are dismissed, Sky." Spirit took the pictures and began to stare at them, thinking about past events of when he was even near the Fox Demon kingdom and where he had seen the face before.
Kairi leads the way inside of the "ruins" and up to where she had landed earlier. "Well... this is it." She smiled and sat across from her old friend. "This is where I spent the morning. Kinda out of the way. Last night, I stayed in the ally near where we met up... I've been pilfering and pillaging from carts along the way lately... For food and money." She smiled. "But it's all good."
Jacob opened his eyes to see that it was darker then when he has last been awake. "What happened?" He stood and held his head, a splitting headache was tearing through his head. He reached for his equipment and found that all he had on were his civilian clothes. "My equipment.." Lurching forward he made his was towards his home where he attempted to find his key but did not remember that he had loaned it to that woman. "They took my key."
Aegis turned into his wolf form and leaped up onto the top of his house. Something was different then normal because it seemed that he preferred being a wolf. His right eye seemed to glint a slight blue tinge opposite of his blue crescent. Letting out a deep, shrill howl and lept up onto the branch of a large tree. Hopping from limb to limb he found his way to the city wall. Jumping over he made a soft landing on a roof where he laid down.
She looks at Champion. "I don't know... it's certainly kept me alive the last few days. Did you know they threw me out?" She tossed Champion some bread from her bag, still fresh. "After you left, they said that it was my fault, and so they booted me out. The old family fell out of power and a new one took over. That's why the whole kingdom kinda reeks of discontent right now." Though the news she delivered was rather depressing, Kairi never dropped her smile, still very pleased to once again be in the company of her friend.
