You're a Suedo, huh? I could play around, but if she's one of them, she should have figured out something by now... "Which are you?" Runa asked simply. Her voice, nor her figure giving away any answer.

Like she didn't know. This girl must have thought I was insanely stupid. My lips puckered, trying to form the words to call my sword against my will. I resisted the urge, along with the tingling in my palms that craved a ball of fire, untamed and unbridled. Maybe she wouldn't think me so stupid then.
But I had nothing to prove. Instead, I narrowed my eyes. "I asked you first." Hostility was poured into each syllable; no longer were we making polite small talk.

Runa got up, her red eyes twinkling with amusement. "Well, you don't have to try to prove to me what your worth. Anyhow. I don't work for anyone, nor will I ever. Does that answer you question?"

I rose my brow. I'd met other people like this before; without much of an opinion. I had been told by my fellow Suedos to kill them just as soon as I'd kill a soldier. After all, she was an assassin; paid to kill Suedo or Soldier, who ever gave her more. At least a dagger, my mind begged. Just a precaution.
Yet I wasn't here to kill. I hadn't come here with that intention; I had been planning to fall asleep with the tall grass gently kissing my face. I wouldn't attack, I told myself, unless in self defense.
Cat had stretched out on the ground lazily, his eyelids closed as he gently rocked off to a land of dreams. I was envious of him, wishing I could do the same. I had been travelling for a while just to come to this place. As a mental sidenote, I remembered that I hadn't replied to Runa yet. I glanced at her out of the corner of my eye, knowing it didn't matter. She knew everything I thought.
I really hate mindreaders.

Runa made a sarcastick face. "Thanks...I love you too." Then her voice got serious. "I don't kill by orders. I kill for reason. Besides, not to worry, I'll be able to take you down with in a minute if I need too. Just don't give me a reason."

Red flag, my ego called. Fight back. Prove her wrong.. No. No way. Still, though, maybe my ferocious temper was something I should start warning people about.
"And what makes you so sure you can take me?" I spat, my eyes mentally stabbing her like small green daggers.

Runa's red eyes looking coldly looking at Kasandra. "You don't want to know how." She shook her head. "But, that temper you might want to controll...it might get you in trouble." Her voice low, in a bone chiling tone.

I feigned being calm. Perhaps I was a little too sarcastic about it, I will admit. "Oh," I said in a soft. "Oh, okay, I see. So now you're telling me what to do. I've got it now."
Cat opened an eye irritably. Apparently, he could sense the dangerous way this conversation was going.
I took a step forward. "See, there's one thing I can't stand," I explained. "And that's being ordered around." She was just telling me to calm down, yes. But I tossed the reminder to the side.

Runa's eyes burned into Kasandra's. "Now see...Don't mistake. I don't order anyone around, I simply point things out." She said taking out a knife.

It happened before I willed it to. "Shaheftan," I announced under my breath, my hand down next to my thigh. My sword conjured there, already in a perfect grip; not tense, but certainly not relaxed.
I was extremely tempted to raise my arm up, my sword along with it, pointing it at Runa's throat; but I didn't. Instead I only said behind clenched jaw, "I didn't come here to fight."
And yet all other senses of my body refused that statement, explaining that they wanted to work, wanted to excercise. Wanted to kill. I took a deep breath, trying to calm down. My sword hand tightened.

Runa's red eyes looked calmly at Kasandra. Maybe she apeared to underestimate a person, but in her life she mosly overestimated. "Do you wish to kill?" She asked in a cool yet cautious voice. "Because I would mind killing some one...Don't hasitate...Attack if you please." Her voice was mocking. "Though, since we both are not here to fight we could settle this and forget about the incident..." Runa's knife lowered and her hand was at her long dager ready to kill and figh if needed.

I wasn't very good at forgetting. I stared at Runa for a few moments, pondering my options.
"And how do I know the minute my blade disappears, yours isn't pulled out?" I questioned her, jerking my head to her hand that gripped her dagger. My own hand around my own sword didn't change; if anything, it only tensed more.

"You don't. You just have to see what happens. But, I don't wish to fight tonight." Runa simply answered, putting her knife away. "Mind you, if you try to attack you'll go down."

Was this girl trying to provoke me? I stared at her with a fiery gaze for a few moments before I mumbled another word. My sword faded out of sight, though I could almost still feel its reassuring hilt against my palm.
I flexed my hand apprehensively, feeling slightly lost; threatened and without a weapon wasn't a good mixture for your confidence, apparently.

"No, I'm not trying to provoke you. I've got no reason to, how ever I am teasing you. If you are an assasin and a Suedo as you say you are, you, my dear Kasandra. Must. And I mean Must keep you're temper and thoughts at bay. Because, if an enemie with my power comes along, and you loose you're head, you might give away information, and your life." Runa said simply.
