Technological Revenge, and It's Effect... (Saph and Neshimo)

Saphire nodded belatedly, lowering to see the new weapons, and he was right. She had seen something she'd liked... a set of poison systems. Someone had been listening, because there were exact chemicals for both lethal and nonlethal mixtures... and enough random ones for her to make many different iterations and effects. Yes, these were nice toys... and was that a real ninjato? The tiniest giggle of glea left her, as she noticed the refill on senbon, daggers, and a small set of Kunai. She was going to be a venerable armory... With this many weapons, what more could a girl want? Well, except a man to sweep her off her feet...


((Note, if you want there can be a ribbon to tie her hair back, or some new clothes. She's just going to focus on the tiny armory she's been given.))
 
Seeing her wander around like a kid and a candy shop, he can't help but too wander on his own, only too find a few more tips for his bow, a new flammable wire, and a hunting knife, for close quarters combat. For armor, an enhancement for his gloves power supply, and a bullet resistant vest too wear under his shirt. "Only carry what you can, though I can carry a few more things because of the upgrade." Not wanting too ruin her fun, though not wanting too over supply either, the straps up his armor and begins too resupply rations into their bags. "Just don't go over board, I'll be waiting at the entrance."


(It's up too you. In an action rp, I do weapon stock scenarios every so often just in case someone wants too redo their equipment. P.s: Just personal preference here for me, not Jamil. Bows are cute =w=)
 
((They are, but she has a laser bow, so...))


She nodded, only taking the mostly-lightweight set of items and tucking them into her kimono, idly grabbing a scarf and ribbon, really who would think that a killer would wear such long bits of cloth? And stood next to him. Oh yes, she had wanted that poison kit, and needed those tools of mass, accurate killing. "Have you gotten what you needed, Jamil?" She was not smiling, no she was not. She wouldn't smile over something as simple as new weapons. Nope.
 
( I meant bows as in bows in her hair...but mkay.)


"Was waiting for you." He places a cloak around her, too somewhat hide their things, and hold out his arm. "For now, while we pass, our names are Judith and Marco." A fake identity for them both as this town does take down information, and their fake id's have already been put into the system. "Wellington, we've just recently gotten married and pledged are alliance too...him. We are moving into our district now, and passing through. So, prepare too act, like a couple I guess."
 
Saphire nodded, taking his arm, and forcing her face into a more pleasant expression than normal. Her eyes were still, well dead, but nothing could be done for that. "Very well, Marco my dear." She waited patiently for him to begin walking, running through all the information she had on couples.. it was woefully little. "You'll take point?" Nearly begging, for her, meaning she had the tiniest hint of obscurity...
 
"I guess so, Lovely." A nickname reserved for someone else, he breathes in and out, beginning too walk out into the streets hand in hand. A bad idea for what he's going too do after they make it too the campsite, though it being the only way too cope faking being with Saphire. "Just walk at the pace I'm going. We don't have too rush, if we do, we look suspicious, and if you could lean your head on my arm as well, that'd probably sell if it I still have any recollection of dating."
 
She nods, leaning her head just slightly on him, managing to seem comfortable with the motion even as her clothes obscure the hand holding one of her kunai. Yes she was his beloved, if only for a few hours. No, she was not good at acting lovey-dovey, so she decided that pretending to playfully tease him and/or overly praise him would work best. And so she made sure to keep up with him, "I'm glad we have this time..." True, but not in the way her tone, a mirror of his, implied.
 
"Don't over sell it, we only have too say things like that too each other when we get questioned." He's a bit dense, of course, though his mind is preoccupied with many things right now too notice when she's being genuine, or just trying too pretend for him. Though the effort is appreciated, he wriggles out of her hold on his arms, and decides wrapping and arm around her would be best for how stiff she is. "It'll take about an hour too get too the border, so again, get comfortable."
 
"I gotcha." She told him, leaning slightly into him as his arm was around her. Saphire felt just the slightest bit of tension in his arms, something must have triggered the reaction, but she didn't know what. Her reaction, of course, was to ignore it until it became a problem, and to let him tell her in his own time. Something told her she would know, at some point, the reasoning behind it, but until she did there wasn't much point in worrying about it.
 
At about the 25 minute mark, they get stopped by a militia police man for a regular daily stop. Seeing as he has both of their cards, he gives them both as he runs them through the scanner, and a smile appears on the mans face. "Newly weds, pledging alliance too our general. Smart choice, hope you have a safe trip." Out of instinct, he gives him a smile, and her a peck on the cheek as too show him their love for each other. "I see, your wife's quite a beauty, wish I could find one such as you."
 
A soft smile, glad her bangs had just fallen to cover her eyes, and a small nod, "Ah, but this one's taken, sir." Of course, him kissing her had made her blush, which was good because they always said a blushing bride was adorable. And so, she milked it for all it was worth, hiding her mouth with the kimono sleeve, as though embarrassed to have said even that much, leaning just so into Jamil, as though he were her strength.
 
"I can see that!" Giving back the ID's, after a hardly laugh, the guard gives them a stern looking while beginning too walk away. "There's also said too be a couple of assassins around here. Cowardly dogs got away yesterday, though just be careful of anyone suspicious." With that, he continues on his patrol of the area, and keeps a look out for said suspicious people. "You, my dear, are better at this than expected." The ID's go back in his pocket as they continue with the pace they were.
 
A tiny snort, "If I blush, I run with it. No-one ever expects the meek, loyal persona." It was true, she walked as though she were only able to be out there with him, seeming to rest in his shadow out of fear, when in truth it was just more advantageous of her. "The hard part is acting lovey-dovey." The entire time she'd said that she hadn't lowered her hand, and spoke just above a whisper so he could hear her. Who knew taking a page from her sister's book of look-adorable would pay off?
 
"You're doing amazing, just keep at it." Seeing it as a sign they could make it through, they only get stopped twice more before making it too the outside. Having already been identified three times before, they are granted safe passage through the gates, and he begins walking into the forest after they get a good ways away. "Alright, good job Ma-...Saphire." Letting go of her, after his screw up, he tries too get the image of dating out of his head again. "Sorry, lets head a bit up the hills, and set up camp."
 
Saphire continued the charade, until at last they stood in a forest, when she stepped away from him. "Yes, let's" The slight mistake of his, that beginning of another name... something to do with his fear of sleep? Or that story he wanted to tell her? Well, whatever it was, she would find out... eventually. If only because he seemed to freak out every time her name is mentioned. And woman she thought it was, for who else would make him pull back from a falsely-romantic gesture?
 
A nod, about 30 minutes through the hills, a small flat closing in the middle of two, he decides to make this their camp with her permission of course. "How's this fancy you?" Though he's already started setting up, wanting having the story in his mind, his bag gets set down near the fire pit. He also takes out a long bag, a tent for when Saphire sleeps. It seems he's caring for her more than himself at most times.
 
Saphire nodded, "This is a good spot. Easily defensible. I'll set up our fire..." And get some meat. She was tired of those rations, and there had to be a rabbit or something around here. She looked over her shoulder, though, and said bluntly "Get a tent for you to." Yes, she was not giving up on him having regular sleep, and that was her hint of it. He deserved to live, and if his reaction this morning was an indicator... he really needed to process something that had just happened recently.
 
"Sorry, it was a surprise. I only brought one from the refuge, so sorry but I'm going too be sleeping outside." More like staying awake outside, and hopefully catching up so he can remember the fairy tales from his book, and keep his mind distracted for after he tells her his life up till now, so maybe he can forget again. Setting up the tent for her, holding back a frown, the late afternoon begins.
 
Saphire found what she was looking for in the oddest of ways... wolves had just killed a deer and were eating, only to leave when she approached. A small frown, that was thier kill, not hers, and she picked it up, using some branches nearby to make a sling out of her cloak. She didn't much care if blood got on it, after all, since it was black anyway. She quickly added sticks to the amount, and began dragging it back to camp. "Look what I found, Jamil. Fresh meat." She then proceeded to build a fire, planning on cutting the deer up later.
 
"Hmm, oh got tired of crackers and water did you?" Laughing, the tent already put up, and him sitting on his sleeping bag, reading his book of tales again. "Well then..." He places down the book, and looks over trying too do all he can too postpone his telling of the past. "Might you need any help with cleaning that?"
 
She looked at him curiously, but nodded. "Yeah. We can talk while we clean." Yep, he wasn't getting out of talking about whatever he had to talk about this morning. She took out a long dagger for him to use, handing it hilt first to him, looking at the deer curiously. Yes, she could salvage about half of it... and the rest they could use for bait over the night. If she could come up with a good trap for it... "I saw a river earlier, we could each take a dip later tonight."
 
"Maybe..." Taking the knife, he begins too skin the deer first, something that at once feels natural too him, as he rarely even cuts past the fat. "I'll have you go first while I watch your back from the tree lines then." It'd been a while since either of them bathed. Maybe a cool wash might calm them down form all the hectic things that's been going on. "Hectic...Mathew used too say so when ever the kids would play a checkers game." The sentence slips out as he again finds himself slipping into deeper memories.
 
"I see, Mathew must have been wise." To have not overly freaked out as a result of the children? it took patience she had never been able to find. A different kind of patience from that normally used for combat was necessary for children. And she'd never held that patience... save for her sisters. "Again with that sisters..." A near silent beration of herself. She shouldn't even be worried about it... and while he was skinning the deer she was removing it's guts, having pulled her sleeves up and tied them with the scarf, ribbon in a low bow holding her hair back.
 
"They all were...in their own way." Smiling, going back too a happier time, his movements get slower, eventually getting sloppy with cutting the deer skin. "It would be lively, I'd sometimes find it hard too work on everything too make it a better home. Though their smiles made it worth it everyday..." A pause, his hand stopping, then slowly continuing his skinning, with it getting better again. "There wasn't much left, after the bomb dropped. Only me and a hand few got out, including some books found in the rubble, and I only survived."
 
Saphire paused what she was doing, considered hugging him, but threw the idea to the wall. It'd be better to explain something of her own past, in this case, to show sympathy. He wouldn't appreciate the guts getting put on him. "I... me and my sister, Mangetsu, were chosen by him to be an experiment at a young age. At the end I saw my sisters being killed by him, I was the only one to survive. There was more, of course, to the story, but..." SHe didn't want him knowing it all just yet. "That's your reward for resting, if you want to know more." Her tone was deadpan throughout the talking, save when she said sisters, that had been twisted slightly.
