Young Blood

Musai slowed to a stop, a bit out of breath but still managing to flash a grin as he caught up to the scene. His eyes narrowed slightly as he assessed the situation. The little thief lay on the ground, clutching his nose, his bag of stolen candy scattered around him. The sight of Christina, who had unknowingly stopped the kid, brought a chuckle to his lips.

"Yo, Christian, perfect timing," Musai said, his voice carrying that familiar mix of casual confidence and underlying intensity. He walked over to the kid and crouched down, his gaze steady but not unkind. "Seems like this little guy here decided to get handsy with shit that wasn’t his. But, hey, he’s got guts—I’ll give him that."

He glanced at the kid, who was trying his best not to cry, and his tone softened just a bit. "Listen, kid, stealing from the Phoenixes? Not your best idea. But you’re fast—I’ll give you that too. Now, how about we make a deal? You give back what you snatched, and we won't beat your ass until you're twenty. Maybe even get you something to eat, yeah? Or drink caaaauuusee, I'm parched as all hell right now." He let out a laugh, though he kept a watchful eye on the kid, ready to react if the boy tried to bolt again.

Musai knew all too well what it was like to scrape by, doing whatever it took to survive. But he also knew the importance of loyalty and respect, especially within the Phoenixes. The kid might have made a mistake, but Musai could see a bit of himself in the boy. He wasn't about to let this turn into something ugly if it didn't have to.

Blading

Stratsimir looked at the map as his boss was explaining the layout of the businesses they were going to invade. None of them sounded like they would pose a serious problem, save for the ones with more money than the others. But again, Robin was with them and Ryutaro wouldn't have her tag along if the job didn't have the potential to get serious.

"Lets go over the basics then. Do you expect a lot of trouble from them and what kind? Are they going to bring in their own security or source from the local rabble?" He eyed the map again, noting some of the details. "How much of the offices do you want to remain intact?"

ANY WAY YOU WANT IT

She didn’t deserve her. Every word out of her lips were tailored well, meant to soothe her worries and her doubts. And what was she doing? This was so much of a hassle, having to pick the right words, having to try to be normal. How could she be normal? She never was normal, not even before being caught in this never-ending spiral of events and emotions she thought she'd have thrown away. Surely, the Princess would try to tell her that it was fine, that she understood and knew what she was saying, under all the inadvertent bitterness.

But that wasn't enough, was it? She wanted to be better, she wanted to be more human, if only for the Princess. The hair, the occasional smile, the fading eyebags, the many, many things that she was trying to change, to be someone at least half worthy of the Princess. The conclusion: blood, death, and weapon maintenance were easy. Trying to be better, extremely hard work.

But she wanted to do it. She wanted to be the one who deserved her, the one who deserved her trust. One step at a time.


She fiddled with the GPS on the dashboard. She wanted to get to those places as soon as possible. At the same time, she wanted the next few days to last forever, if it was even possible. Away from New Oasis, away from all the weight that bore down on the Princess’ shoulders, as if she had truly managed to whisk her away from the curse of the hellhole. No powers, no power play, no secret machinations, no skulduggery, no one to hurt the Princess. If she could drag Grandmother out of there as well, then there would be nothing else to worry about from that place.

Those were thoughts for the future. A future she wasn’t even sure she was going to see. By God’s grace, she wanted to see it, she wanted to live it, she wanted the Princess to be free and happy.

“It’ll be a bit more, ‘Seri.” An understatement. They were going to have to make a stop for the night. She could drive on through the night, get there as early as possible but she dearly wanted to spend some time with the Princess. The GPS indicated there was a RV park about a few more hours drive onwards. They could stop there for the night. They didn’t even need to make good time. Could even stop for lunch on the way. “Don’t worry about falling asleep.” One hand lifted from the wheel, and reached over to the Princess’, holding it tight, as if she was trying to remember the touch of her hand, cherishing every second she could spend with her. “I think…as long as you’re here, with me, I’m fine with it.” She could protect her, she could hold her, she could see her. That was fine enough for her.
