Isis sighed. She was forced to go to the shopping mall under one of her teacher's assignments: find out if any product made by manufacturers that associates with your given name at birth.
'Isis, Isis, Isis..... What the hell has that as a product name?'
She strolled around, looking for that certain product with her name. There was a perfume bottle with Iris, a glass vase that looked Egyptian, but wasn't exactly: it was Ethiopian. There was also an article of clothing that said: "100% Egyptian Cotton" and had the word ISIS stitched on to the tag, but Isis didn't take it. "NO ARTICLE OF CLOTHING IS ALLOWED BECAUSE YOU COULD HAVE STITCHED IT. ONLY ACTUAL OBJECTS LIKE PERFUME AND OTHERS."
What a little skank she was.
Isis continued to browse, her hair brushed into a messy ponytail. She squinted her green eyes in exasperation. "My god, why'd the teacher give us this damn stupid assignment?" she said aloud. An elderly woman glanced at her before hobbling quickly away. Her little frail body was so fragile, Isis felt she could have snapped her bone in half with just a simple flick of her wrist.
"Yeah! Run, grandma, run!"
[/color] Isis goaded. "And see how you like to be pummeled by a girl who's 45 years younger than you." she muttered. Clutching the clipboard in her hand, Isis continued to browse the various stores that appealed to her. Secretly, she was hoping that she might bump into someone that she would know in this dingy little town of Shelpey. Muse: Blech. OOC:Sorry about the short word count. [/blockquote][/blockquote]

He looked down at the man that had insulted him. God why was this city so judging. Oh well. He shrugged absent mindely and lifted his gun to the man's forehead. He looked up with wide fearful eyes but he didn't say anything.
Your majesty looks bored. Maybe we should go and do something else. Besides he had just pushed into you with meaning and challenge, and you defeated him. Your point is met. Plus we have other things to attend to.
Xavier rolled his eyes at the voice in his head and sighed loudly indicating how irritated he was. Don't call me that. Its.... infuriating.
[/i] he was silent and unmoving for a few seconds before he lowered Silent lyrics and walked away putting his lovely gun back in its scabard. The man didn't go after him but Xavier knew that was because he was a coward. The man only challenged him like that because he was stupid enough. The voice was right. There was a time to show your strengths and a time to just walk away because this whole thing was a waist of his time. He walked out of the allyway and stepped onto the street. His long black jacket covered his precious pistols so that they weren't noticed by the bypassers. He looked around the street wondering what the voice was talking about when it said he had other things to do. Xavier rolled his eyes once again and moved down the sidewalk just like any other citizen in the city. Your a plain old citizen alright. The voice said and Xavier ignored it. He looked around for something to do. It wasn't his custom for him to just let someone live like had let that man live moments before. However in good, or as he would call it, better moods he was willing to give an extra chance. He glanced inside one of the windows and groaned loudly when he recodnized the girl inside. He wasn't really in the mood to encounter one of his guildmates and so tried to sneak away from the window before Isis turned around. [/size][/blockquote][/blockquote]

Isis tapped her pen in annoyance. Was there anything that had "Isis" on it? She sighed. Her eyes rapidly landed on each object she saw, never resting for a second. There was a soda can, a dog, a pet store, an elderly woman (the same one), a mall cop, a paper plane the size of an SVU that hung in the air, suspended by thin wires. Also, there was a fifty-something bald man, Xavier, a weird hairless cat in a store window, a ---.
'Wait, is that Xavier? No, it can't be. He's so....nomadic and obscene. No way he will come to a mall,' Isis thought. She gave no sign of seeing him, and continued to walk away deliberately.
Xavier was... well how do you explain it.....He was a rather secretive young man. Isis was only a few year younger than him. By 2 years, actually. Anyways, he had black hair. Not just any black; really really REALLY black hair. If you stare at it too long, you feel that the blackness of his hair would suck you in. And those gray eyes. They just pierce through you like your body was made of moonbeams. They are just....so GRAY. Like Athena's eyes, only with less brains. As Isis thought.
Slowly walking away, Isis did not realize that she was about to walking into a particularly low railing. Being on the 5th floor didn't make matters better. Only worse. Still walking backwards, Isis's waist bumped into the railing, and she was left on one foot, struggling to keep her balance. Her hands flailed around for a bit, though no one took notice. They were too sucked into their phones or their beaus. Oblivious little assholes.
Isis's vocal chords were frozen, as she was terrified. She had tried to scream, but her voice refused to budge from silence. Her eyes pleaded to the last person she would ask for help: Xavier. "Help me,"
[/color] she mouthed before falling. At the last moment, Isis's voice srose in a high-pitched scream. In a second, the only part of her that could be seen was her knuckles, popping out of her hands because she was grasping for that last minute hold on the ledge just after the railing. Isis was slipping, no doubt about it, but it was a matter of time before she would fall to her death. Maybe. Muse: OK. It's getting pumped up. Comments: I love the epicness of ISis falling. XD [/blockquote][/blockquote]

Yes he heard her. He usually did hear things like that. Even if he didn't like to. Oh Brother... He thought to himself. Why is he always the one that has to notice EVERYTHING. He raced up the stairs that he had just decended. It was faster for him and better for him anyway. He didn't really want to be the one at the bottom catching her like they were about to fall in love. If he had to safe her he might as well do it in a way that didn't put him on the spot.
He saw her instantly as he reached the top of the fifth floor just as she was falling. He saw her catch the side rail like he knew she would. She was an assasin and, to him, it was wise to have the reflex's to atleast do that. He reached her not too long afterward and grabbed both her hands. "Clumbsy. What'd you do that for you idiot." He muttered to her. He was rather logical but that didn't mean his words had to be 'nice and kind'. Awe! She could be your queen your Majesty. She is quite cute and I bet she'll do everything that you ask.
Xavier screwed up his face so that his uncomfortable feelings showed. Not so much of saving Isis. More of the stupid little comments his insane part gave him. He was glad that no one else could hear it. He would kill himself if they could. As he thought about that he pulled Isis up and over the railing and hissed in her ear. "Why do you girls insist on drawing attention to yourselves?"
Give her a break X. She's just a Girl.
Don't you ever shut up? And by the way I hate to break your feelings but I'm not going to be king of the world some day. and theres no way I'm even going to be king of Shelpey. If I can't get that far then whats the point in expecting to be king of the world? Dammit she's heavy.
[OOC: sorry about taking so long. BTW, Isis is going to have a hard time getting at Xavier because he's all closed up. Just to let you know.]

"Clumbsy. What'd you do that for you idiot." Xavier hissed in Isis's ear as he hauled her up. "Clumsy? Look who's talking!"
[/color] she retorted. Her feet began to kick, in an attempt to hit some surface that could increase her traction. After a few moments of flailing legs, Isis managed to get a grasp on the side of the floor; she slowly began to push her self up, with the aid of Xavier, of course. He continued dragging her up and over the rail. Once her head was over the railing, she continued to push her torso up. Heaving herself over, Isis accidentally knocked her head on the marble floor. There was a loud THUNK. "Ow, that friggin' hurts."[/color] After a few more minutes of struggling, Isis was safe (for now) and sat on the floor. "Thanks, though you should have came quicker."[/color] Isis teased slightly. She wasn't the one to tease a lot, so this was a change for once. "Why do you girls insist on drawing attention to yourselves?" Xavier said, his face screwed in a sour disposition. Isis just chuckled, before saying, "Me? Draw attention to myself? Huh. I bet you forgot I'm a fellow shifter too, and wouldn't dream of bringing attention to MYSELF, idiot. And I wasn't that heavy! What you weak?"[/color] Isis retorted. She could see his panting and beads of sweat (only a little though) falling down. Standing up, she dusted herself off, and crossed her arms. "So, why you here? I mean, like, you don't seem like the kind of guy who would go to the mall. I have to for a school assignment, but you? Huh. UNBELIEVABLE."[/color] Isis sighed. If Xavier was here, then who else would be? Alex? Tabris? Roscoe? Might as well be a family gathering. Muse: HORRIBLE. XP Comments: No worries. And thanks for the heads up. Word Count: Something. XD [/blockquote][/blockquote]

Xavier snorted as he pulled her up. “I’m not the one hanging off of a long drop at the mall. I’m not clumbsy.” He said that matter-a-fact-ly as she hit her head on the floor. He rolled his eyes and stood up to his feet. ”Well you got to be more careful in the first place and then things like this won’t happen.” He said as he dusted himself off. He looked around at all of the onlookers and glared dangerously telling them to mind their own business. He hated ongoing questions and “are you ohkay”’s and so he made sure no one felt welcome enough to step over to them. He turned back to her as she told him that he was too slow.
”Really. You are so demanding. Look it wasn’t like I was waiting for you to trip and fall over the railing. I’m not a mind reader. Your just lucky I came at all. While I was running up here I was thinking of letting you take the punishment for your foolishness.” He shrugged and looked around the mall for a few seconds making sure there weren’t any sneakers that might be Thieves. He shook his head as she mentioned her shifting ability as well as her own. She’s going to destroy your cover X. Maybe you should do something about it. And she is very ungrateful at that. Has to insist that she was too heavy for you and—
[/b] Will you shut up!? He rolled his eyes and sighed dramatically. He didn’t reply. Look you, I would never go out with her. I wouldn’t really dream of going out with anyone. So why don’t you just shut up and leave me alone for at least ten minutes. Just let me think without having an imaginary person breathing down my neck. What surprised Xavier the most was that the voice actually shut up. No emotion showed from the Assassin’s at all and he nodded triumphantly. The problem was that he almost didn’t catch isis’s next sentence. "So, why you here? I mean, like, you don't seem like the kind of guy who would go to the mall. I have to for a school assignment, but you? Huh. UNBELIEVABLE." When it actually registered in his mind what she had just said he shook his head disgustedly. He knew he was destroying his entire ego for even coming near this place. God he hated the mall and couldn’t believe he stepped foot into it. He thought it was just a lame pass time for the human teenagers. He grumbled to himself and looked right into isis’s eyes. ”I am here because I’m here. It has nothing to do with you or anything else. I’m just here because I’m… staying clear of everything. But I should have known I would find someone I knew here. You tell no one that I’m here. If you do I will tear out your heart.” His threat was quiet and dangerous. He was serious in his threat, but he made sure no one else heard it but isis. He leaned in close to her face just to make the fear effect deeper. His hand was rubbing his side where his dagger was strapped close to his skin hidden under his long coat. He was fast with the knife and never really missed a beat when it came to killing. [/size][/color][/font][/blockquote][/blockquote]
