Holy shit he was tired. He almost felt like he was just going to drop at times, but he kept going. There was no way he'd let himself pass out in a place like the harbor. Yeah sure, a lot of Assassins came through here but so did a lot of Thieves and scientists liked to watch the area. They didn't know what they were looking for - not really, at least - but they weren't stupid. It wouldn't take them long to figure out how to sniff out the Shifters that met up and talked there. The harbor was a busy, easy to hide in place after all. Tons of humans came through it daily without raising any suspicions.
Flicking cold blue eyes around him, Rohjyx utterly ignored the impressed and seductive looks and searched for a bench or something he could sit on. He followed the pier all the way down to the end and finally found a mildly secluded area with a free bench.
Dropping down onto the wooden seat, he glanced around for some of the Assassin scouts in the air and carefully motioned for one to keep watch for him. A raven with beautifully silky feathers and glinting black eyes swooped down and landed a few feet away from him on the wood rail of the pier, giving a quiet cooing sound to say that he would keep watch. Rohjyx nodded slightly and let his head fall back onto the wood behind him, his eyes closed and ears open for every sound.
The waves crashing rhythmically beneath him was more relaxing than he realized and before long he was dozing very lightly. He didn't notice another raven landing a few feet on the opposite side of the first one, nor the various birds that circled overhead and cried out to each other randomly. The hum of voices and low thud of footsteps not far away only helped keep the exhausted panther Shifter dozing.
So when the ravens saw Tabris walking around the pier they made a small sound but nothing else, knowing that she was to be given as much respect as the Leader himself. Rohjyx didn't hear the quiet sound in his light slumber, his arms staying crossed across his chest and his head falling forward to make it look like he was simply thinking hard about something. That is unless you looked closely. As soon as you looked closely you realized that he was asleep - how deep asleep was impossible to tell without trying to touch or talk to him - and if you had half a brain and knew anything about Shifters you would be able to tell that the two ravens on either side of him were keeping watch and that a few of the birds that flew above were helping.
Rohjyx just kept on dozing, the exhausted man's body sighing in relief at the unexpected rest.

Honestly, Tabris didn't care if Rohjyx was on duty or not. He'd been working ever since he got home and, while he'd been at her beck and call while she'd been in recovery, Tabris still felt like she hadn't seen enough of him. She hadn't seen enough of him and hadn't done enough with him, and so it had been with great pleasure she had lumbered Uncle Roscoe with Seth and Kaija for a holiday for several days. Yet when she'd gotten back home to the bar, Roscoe had already left, perhaps to do work or something else. She wasn't sure.
The panthress had tracked him either way, her own superb skill at tracking and hunting helping her keep tabs on her lover even though he was an expert at disappearing into the crowd himself. Let him try hide from the world, he'd never be able to hide from Tabris and the white panther shifter was very happy knowing this. There was nothing he could do and nothing he could say to anybody else that would make her unable to find him, and the only time she wouldn't find him was when she wasn't trying to.
Rohjyx came to rest on a bench, and Tabris followed expertly. He hadn't noticed her once and this suggested he was tired; she only wished that she knew why because he had seemed fine around her. Perhaps, in the time it had taken her to find him and stalk him, he'd had to do something exhausting and tiring. Tabris didn't know, and she was tempted to ask him... once she approached him, of course.
The ravens paid their respects with a simple nod, keeping relatively quiet. Tabris had apparently earned a position of high rank among the Assassins since Rohj's own absence, and now got quite a lot of respectful little nods from fellow shifters of the Assassins guild despite the fact she wasn't technically a part of it. Maybe it was just because she was Rohjyx's lover and had since gone on to mother his children, she didn't know. Tabris didn't really care either, as she was a little bit of an attention whore and couldn't deny she liked the respect she was given.
Casually she approached the sleeping Rohjyx, movements graceful and languid like the panther she was at heart, and once she reached the behind of the bench a smirk formed on her face. She leant forwards, snaking her arms around his shoulders as her lips grazed his earlobe in a bold and brief nip, one of her hands dropping to low places on his abdomen. Her rather public display of affection seemed to stop all the seductive glances other women had been throwing Rohjyx; Tabris had noticed and she had not liked it. Jealous? Yes, hopelessly so.
"Found you, Kitty." Tabris giggled softly into his ear, not giving a damn how decent or indecent any passer-by thought she was being. She was simply proving a point to the rest of the world, that this fine piece of ass was her fine piece of ass, and nobody else was allowed to so much as look at it the wrong way. "Wanna play?"

"SHIT!" Rohjyx almost had a heart attack, his eyes shooting open and one hand automatically beginning to yank one of his many pistols out of its holster. His heart raced in his chest, thudding almost to the point of pain, and his shocked ice blues stared at everything across from him. He heaved a massive sigh as he realized that it was just Tabris being herself and released his pistol in favor of grabbing one of her hands and kissing it affectionately.
"Found you, Kitty." Giggled Tabris, leaning down and holding onto her man jealously. Rohjyx had learned very quickly that his feisty little lover was quite jealous and often got a good kick out of it on more than one occasion. At that moment in time, however, he was simply too tired to give a damn about anyone or anything other than grabbing Tabris up and holding her. She was just so soft and easy to hug; he loved the woman. "Wanna play?" She asked, Rohjyx glancing over his shoulder at her and shaking his head.
He had slight bags under his eyes - more proof to his complete exhaustion - and as he reached up to grab Tabris and pull her over the back of the bench he said, "Normally I'd be all up for playing with you but right now I just need to sleep. I'd be a horrible playmate right now, Tab." Pulling Tabris over the bench and into his lap, Rohjyx held her against his chest and dropped his head down onto her shoulder. He let out a slow sigh and closed his eyes, his arms keeping a tight hold on her.
He didn't move except to let out a jaw-cracking yawn into Tabris' shoulder, his limbs beginning to feel like jello and his mind falling into a sleepy lull with the sound of Tabris strong heart beating against his ear. "Mmmm, love you Tabby," he murmured, his words almost too quiet to be heard even at Tabris close distance.
God, he was tired.

His shock was not unexpected, his cuss even less so, and his instinctual reaction to go for his pistol had Tabris giggling again to herself. Sneaking up on Rohjyx wasn't always an easy task, but when she managed it, the panthress always felt quite proud of herself. The reactions never stopped being priceless, not even when Rohjyx ended up plotting his revenge upon the smaller woman. Which he normally did with equal prowess and success if not more, and even then it was wholeheartedly enjoyable. What about Rohjyx didn't Tabris love aside from that godawful workload of his?
A warm if not playful smile crossed her face as he released his pistol, taking one of her hands instead and placing a kiss against it. His body relaxed, having tensed when she had shocked him, and the slightly petite and lithe woman took a moment to chuckle and nuzzle her nose against his cheek in a gesture of returning affection. A few gazes lingered on them, as if disappointed, and Tabris felt ultimately better. Let them stare. Though she understood human society enough to know what was decent and what was not, she wasn't actually human enough to care. If they didn't like it, they could look away.
She giggled again as she had a habit of doing as he rotated slightly, easily moving her smaller frame and bringing her over the bench. Normally she would have teased him in some way about that strength of his, but he was speaking before she could really say anything. "Normally I'd be all up for playing with you but right now I just need to sleep. I'd be a horrible playmate right now, Tab."
"Awww... no fun, Kitty." She intoned back playfully, although a more affectionate and slightly concerned look on her features said she really didn't have much intentions of trying to force him to play with her. She had, in the past, with varying degrees of success, and if Tabris was honest, she was still quite tempted to now, but for the time his tiredness only helped to pacify Tabris herself.
She wrapped her arms back around Rohjyx as he held her close, placing a gentle kiss on his brow and chuckling softly as her eyes trailed over what she could see of him. Why was he so tired, anyway? Tabris bit back the question for the time, leaning against him and nuzzling into what she could of his own chest with a contented sigh. It was nice to have her Kitty back, and nicer still to be able to move around herself and feel alive again. Her recovery had been slow, and Tabris still sported a mark of paler skin upon her shoulder where she had been shot.
The scar would never fade, but Tabris was quite proud of it, herself. She felt less dainty and vulnerable while equally badass as normal - and the shoulder wasn't a bad place to have such a scar. It would have been worse if it were somewhere like her stomach or waist, that she did so regularly enjoy to show off. Partly because if she could get other men to look, she could get Rohjyx to be just as protective as they both knew she was.
"Mmmm, love you Tabby," He muttered into her shoulder. Tabris smiled, squeezing him gently in a comforting manner and placing another kiss against his forehead. "I love you too Kitty." A pause.
"But Kitty I don't think this is the best place to go and sleep. You'll get cramps and it's quite out in the open, even with all the eyes around to watch." She nuzzled him again idly as she chuckled slightly, cocking an eyebrow down at him and offering him a playful smirk. "Might not be me who sneaks up on you next time."

Had Rohjyx been in his other form, he would have been purring and fast asleep. As it was, however, he was in his human form and at the pier with Tabris in his lap and several normal humans milling about. Those factors, plus his own nature, didn't let him act like he wanted to, at least not completely. He compromised and snorted lightly when he heard what Tabris had to say. "Awww... no fun, Kitty." Replied Tabris, Rohjyx lifting and dropping his shoulders in a lazy shrug.
"So sorry, Tabby. I'll repent later." He was only half-joking. He could tell by Tabris tone and relaxed body that she wasn't going to push him to play this time; not yet, at least. Thank the heavens for that too. He was fuckin' tired. But eventually he'd have his energy back and Tabris would bug him again - like he really minded. Tabris was way too fun to play with.
He allowed a very tiny smile to quirk up the corner of his lips as he felt Tabris return his embrace and kiss his brow before forcing it back down and just holding onto the woman. God, why was she so comfortable to hold? She fit so well against him. She tightened her grip on him and gave him another kiss after he whispered his love, Tabris repeating it affectionately. "I love you too Kitty."
There was a brief pause in which Rohjyx relaxed comfortably against his girl before the amusing panther spoke again. She nuzzled him lazily as she spoke. "But Kitty I don't think this is the best place to go and sleep. You'll get cramps and it's quite out in the open, even with all the eyes around to watch." Rohjyx glanced up at her with a tired roll of his eyes, catching her playful smirk and raised brow. "Might not be me who sneaks up on you next time."
"Would you rather we go back to the bar then? Because right now I'm pretty damn comfortable and I don't want to go back there unless you plan on just curling up and going to sleep with me." He said, smirking at her lightly and leaning back on the bench a little so that he could see more of her. His short doze and moments of relaxation had restored a little bit of his energy, enough for him to very lightly tease Tabris. Much else - without the aid of adrenaline or some very strong coffee or energy drink - was asking a bit too much of him right then.
He was very glad to see that, while the two ravens weren't as close as they had been before, they were still standing guard. A quick glance to the sky showed that some of the other scouts were still up in the mass of birds and Rohjyx smirked a little proudly. He had some hard-working and well-trained scouts.
With a light sound at the back of his throat he told the two ravens that they could go and they took to the air in a clatter of caws and beating wings. A few ebony feathers fell to the pier floor and the ocean below and Rohjyx slid his arms down to hold Tabris around her hips instead of her waist.

He was very warm, a fact that Tabris quite liked. It was no real secret she was a terrible bedbug at times, snuggling into the covers to keep herself warm and cosy. It was probably the same reason she enjoyed cuddling with Rohjyx so much regardless of form, because that warmth was just so pleasant. This wasn't even considering the fact that Tabris was a very touchy-feely kind of person. So it was with a funny humanised purr she snuggled into Rohjyx as he apologised, promising to later make up for the lack of play now. Well... he hadn't promised verbally, but Tabris' mind did not see it that way.
Why was her Kitty so tired? A pang of guilt jabbed at the woman as she wondered if it was her fault; her slow recovery after the unfortunate incident at the warehouses. Of course, other things too had a part to play in his exhaustion no doubt; a lot of catching up with Roscoe had had to be done and Tenma had had to be tended to as well. He hadn't escaped without injury either, although then again he was built like a tank. Not very much stopped him.
She said nothing more to him as they sat together, each comfortable in the other's embrace, and perhaps Tabris would have considered sleep herself if she had not been so awake. It was easy to relax, but not so easy to actually relax enough to the point of tiredness; the Shifter was simply comfortable and content. The same couldn't be said for Rohjyx, who looked like he could have drifted off to the land of slumber at any given second. Though it was funny to see him so tired; he was inordinately cute when exhausted and let some things slip he would never normally otherwise say.
"Would you rather we go back to the bar then? Because right now I'm pretty damn comfortable and I don't want to go back there unless you plan on just curling up and going to sleep with me." He questioned her, smirk lining his face as he leant back to watch her. Tabris giggled at the light tease; if they went back to the bar she would probably be inherently naughty while they were in private. The playful smirk on her own features suggested as much as she giggled again, wiggling ever so slightly against Rohjyx as if to prove a point.
"I can't promise you I'd behave entirely." She teased right back, being generally honest. The smirk grew. "Though there would be ways to make me want to curl up and do nothing but sleep." Being lewd was far too much fun, even if Rohjyx was in no real state to do anything but tease. Another giggle passed her lips and she cocked an eyebrow at him, tilting her head curiously and wondering if he was too tired to even cotton on to her more perverted innuendos. If he missed them that was certainly a sign of being tired.
Leaning back against him herself, resting her head against his own shoulder and nuzzling his neck with her nose briefly, Tabris found herself chuckling slightly as his embrace moved. "Why so tired, anyway? You need breaks too, you know?" She asked quietly, smirk fading into more of a smile and repressing an amused sigh at how Rohjyx appeared to have worked himself into the ground.
