steadier footing // seayn, shoudra

[Yasmine Carnelian]

Nighttime in the town was the perfect setting for Yasmine. It was nice and cool, and most of the bratty little children had retreated to their cottages with their prissy parents who gave them everything they'd ever need. The rabbit woman snarled her nose at the thought. Did children need to be so spoiled? She had to work for everything she ever had. Sometimes she had to resort to petty thievery, but still, nothing was ever just handed to her. At least they were all in their homes at nighttime. In the dead of night, it was still and silent in the town. Just the way Yasmine liked it~

That was the only reason she was out, anyway. It was silent, there was hardly anyone to bug her. The people that were out had the same purpose as her, most likely. They wanted to escape the noise and bustle that the day brought. It was one of the things she actually found soothing. The other thing? Booze. That was her destination for tonight, though not at the moment. Right now, she was enjoying a stroll through the streets outside of the alley to get to the bar. The night sky was littered with bright stars. It was easy to get sidetracked by just looking at them. Yasmine was not watching where she was going as she collided into something.

Being the graceful bunny she was, it merely made her stumble back, but not fall completely. It was definitely a person that she had run into; so with a growl, she snapped at them, "Watch where you're going!"

[Shoudra Mallory]

Shoudra hustled down the street nearly as fast as could without breaking into a run. She was late and there were few things in the world she hated more than being late. An appointment had been arranged at a tavern within the city and the necromancer had become desperately lost. Her eyes scanned down the street one way and then the next, hoping to see someone who might be able to give her directions.

Unfortunately, there was no life to be found at this hour of the evening. Cursing under her breath, she took off again, heading north through a nearby alley-way this time. She moved swiftly, praying that she would make it to the tavern before her contact left.

Her eyes locked upon a sign across the street at the end of the alley she was currently moving down. In this light, she was unable to make out the name of the street sign and hardly noticed the lithe stranger she slammed into as she stepped out of the alley and onto the sidewalk.

The speed at which she had been walking caused Shoudra to completely loose her footing as she tripped over one of the long legs of the individual she had run into. Her momentum carried her into the street where she landed with a hard smack on her rear.

"Watch where you're going," the stranger snarled.

The necromancer swore aloud, quickly lifted herself up and spun to square with the rude person.

Shoudra quickly sized her up. She was a woman, a very tall one at that, wearing what amounted to metal undergarments. As her eyes scanned upward to the scowling face, Shoudra saw that she wasn't a human, but in fact a very pretty Minish. The necromancer was taken aback slightly by her height; she must have been over six feet tall, even without the massive ears sprouting from the top of her head.

"Excuse me," Shoudra apologized as she brushed herself off a bit. "I didn't see you around the corner." Though the apology was genuine, the sarcasm of the second statement was unmistakable.

The necromancer locked eyes with the lithe woman, awaiting what was sure to be some sort of clever retort. Instantly realizing this was a huge mistake, she swallowed hard and her mind raced to come up with a way out of the situation. She didn't have time for an altercation and the beautiful Minish was intimidating in more ways than one.

[Seayn]

Night wasn't exactly the time of day that Seayn thrived in, yet he had planned on going out tonight. The cool air felt rather nice as he walked down the street, casually glancing about as he strolled along. He attempted to grab his sword's hilt, which was usually around waist level, yet he had left it, as well as his armor, at home today. In their place, he wore a simple red tunic with black pants and boots. It felt moderately strange whenever Castle Town was quiet. Growing up here, he had grown accustomed to the way that there was always noise and people. Seayn thought it was a refreshing change.

The young man could see someone ahead of him, a long and thin body that seemed to have quite a few curves. Bunny ears... so a Minish female then. He could only imagine what she was doing at this time of night. Seayn let out a heavy breath, feeling rather alive tonight. He hoped that something exciting would present itself, something new. The human didn't really pay attention to the collision ahead of him, his eyes roaming the skies above. Seayn did hear the Minish woman snap though.

The young man leapt backwards, as if trying to avoid bumping into the origin of that intimidating command. He quickly took in the situation, seeing the human on the ground and the Minish quickly catching her balance. Seayn began to walk around, yet the reply from the human woman caught him off guard. Was she looking for a fight? That Minish looked like she was ready to tear someone apart and it wasn't difficult to figure out who would be the attention of the athletic female's ire. He let out a heavy sigh, slowing his pace to a near stop, wanting to make sure nothing bad happened.

[Yasmine Carnelian]

Carnelian eyes watched the hume as she fell, and quickly stood back up. The Minish could tell that sarcasm littered her tone. Yasmine just grunted and snubbed her nose at the woman. She was about to open her mouth and say something nasty, but she felt another presence close by.

The tanned woman snapped her head to face the man who had just stopped. He seemed to be staring at her. It probably wasn't every day that a tall rabbit woman poked out from her lonely house, and it was for reasons like this. Yasmine didn't like bringing attention to herself, but it really was quite unavoidable when you had a mouth like hers. That mouth of hers rared to go again, snapping at Seayn. "What do you want?"

[Seayn]

Seayn froze when the minish turned her attention upon him, an unexpected turn of events that wasn't part of his plan at all. He turned to face her, trying to think up a good enough lie to just get where he was going. "I'm sorry, I saw her bump into you and then I noticed... you were very attractive." Seayn didn't react very well under pressure. The young man grinned sheepishly at the rabbit woman, wondering why it had to happen on this night of all nights. It felt so good outside and he had just wanted to take it easy, yet he seemed to be in trouble now. The young man fidgeted slightly, attempting to release some of the anxiousness building with him.

Seayn supposed it was better than the woman that had already been knocked on her back side keeping the attention. He decided it would be best to keep the minish's mind off of her. "Would you let me buy you a drink?" He asked, feeling rather awkward as he asked her that question. Seayn hadn't even introduced himself yet, so he assumed he was being far too forward. He gulped, perhaps seen as the nervousness of a man flirting yet it was more that he was afraid of this bunny with an angry tone.
