"Interesting; then what you're telling me is that you are a common thief? Not only have you stolen from the Emperor, for they were horses provided by him, you have challenged a member of his army to single combat; to what end?" She said, still standing alert

He chuckled slightly before straightening seriously, his angelic voice at odds with his stance "Me a common thief? Ha, that'll be the day. And i don't remember any mention of single combat, though you have admitted you're imperial so i guess it's all in the training" He shuffled a little as if playing around

She sighed, but maintained a completely calm persona "This is going nowhere fast, and we're in a hurry, so just answer me this; What do you want with us and why did you call me to these rooftops?"

He sighed in a similar fashion, almost mockingly, before sprinting forward in almost a blink of an eye, his cloak whipping around behind and masking his true position. He whispered in passing like with the demon earlier "I'm just following my interests. As to why i called you .." He winked slyly "why did you come yourself?" And then he dove of the edge of the roof, the pouch and note left behind

Sophena's reaction was lightning fast as she dove gracefully off the roof after him, grabbing onto his cloack as they descended

'Ah Frak, not again!' He grabbed one of his daggers and sliced the cloth she was gripping, landing and leaping in a catlike bound to put some distance between them

"Honestly, why don't you just surrender?" She said as she hit the ground and bounded forward overtaking him; she smiled at him: "I'm getting rather sick of this"

He frowned "So why bother, i thought you were in a hurry and i have places to be. What, you wanna take me back to your 'ma'am'?" he said, keeping pace calmly and staring her in the eye

"I’m bothering for several reasons," Sophena said calmly staying in pace with him; "Namely that you seemed to want to 'play' as you put it, and also, that I'm sure my mistress would very much like a chat with you, and finally, because your irritatingly adamant about escaping." The thief smiled behind his mask and slowed down a notch, "Why would your mistress be interested in me? Except to slander, beat and imprison me over some silly horses, you could've got back by now." Sophena smiled and kept pace; "Oh no, We're very reasonable people, but at the moment, I'm afraid it's the suspicion of your eagerness to get away and your challenge that are making me chase you." The thief just frowned slightly, the gesture emphasized his elongated split brows "As I've said, I've places to be, and you accepted the challenge ..." "Then stand and fight..." she said simply. Stopping dead in his tracks, the thief’s cat like eyes were devoid of expression "Do i look like i have a death wish?" he said sternly, as if a joke had been turned sour. "Not particularly," she replied, stopping in front of him, "but why would you challenge me then?" He drew his twin, icy blue, short swords as a precaution, holding them loosely at his sides to show he was only defensive, "gauge of personality basically." She stood with her sword at her side, ready to move at the slightest flicker; "And your conclusions?" She said with interest. He crossed his blades behind him and slide them up into their sheaths on his back, still grasping their curved hilts "Violent yet curious so far. But i don't like to dabble before i know a person well." "Hmmm..." She mused, "Violent? I suppose I have to give you that one, considering my profession..." She considered him for a moment; "Wise choice there though, You'd be best not fighting me..." He looked to her, his cat like eyes widened to normal elven pupils, "I never intended to fight." "That saves us some time then," she said, "perhaps you would be interested in helping us then?" The thief tilted his head curiously "Unlikely, and why would i do such a thing ? The empire never helped me" His eyes returning to their slits as his voice took on a slight snarl. "Watch your words here, my friend" Sophena said, with the vaguest hint of anger ,"but, because your very fast, and would be paid." He crossed his arms and glared, calming himself ,"My words are only truth ..." he looked at his torn cloak, "apparently not fast enough ..." This he knew to be a lie seeing as he wasn't using his full potential but no need to let her know that. "Really?" she sounded unconvinced "then I’m sorry" she lunged forward with an open hand attack, but did so subtly, more slowly than if she were actually attacking with intent to harm The theif noted her posture and simply stood, making no move to defend seeing as she wasn't using her sword. Sohena sighed and finished with a light tap on his shoulder instead of an actual hit; "Fine" she said and made a strong sweep with her sword, but leaving herself enough chance to stop again if need be He gripped his blades in a flash and swept them up to chink against her blade, planting his feet and shifting his balance slightly. He looked her in the eye "Nice arm, but would you mind doing this another day, I'm late enough as it is. And if you're still interested in my assistance leave a note on a tree somewhere and i'll find you, ok twinkle eyes?" "Twinkle eyes?" she spun with lightning speed and kicked the feet out from under him. He crossed his blades on the ground and flipped back onto his feet gracefully "I know, couldn't help it" He winked, sheathed his blades again and ran calling back in elven "Till next time" "Not so damn fast" she smiled, muttering something archaic, she caused the grass to grip his ankles whilst running ahead of him "For the love of ..." He muttered a similar archaic spell and froze the ground around them "What now, you're starting to irritate me" "the feeling is mutual" she laughed "now who are you going to see?"

He shrugged and broke the frozen grass gripping his ankles, then looked at her "A friend ..." he muttered softly

She sighed heavily, but kept a keen eye on him; "And who is this friend then?" she asked with apprehension

He rummaged in his cloak for something whilst he spoke "I only know her as 'sharp' ..." He pulled out an elaborately decorated badge and held it out for her to see "She said this is her profession, I assume it's something to do with the Empire, but I haven't a clue as to what it actually means ..."

"Interesting" Sophena mused as she glanced over the badge, instantly recognising it; "A moment ago, you refused to help the Empire; and it now it emmerges that you're consorting with our intelligence division? Now youre deffinately going to have to come wiht me." She said, with a hint of steel in her voice "NOW!"

He frowned and tucked the badge back into his cloak, looking her in the eye with tight, feral slits "I'll come as soon as you lose that edge in your voice ... deal?" he said with a slight snarl at the end, his hands twitching slightly at his sides

"Hmm" She mused "Interesting. Now then, I'll have to have your weapons, and please, don't try anything" She said seriously and calmly
