"You honestly think I don't care?" He said, laughing a bit, "You look just like one I once failed to defend...and on top of that you fell from the sky..." He say's, chuckling, "Let me fix you up...I owe you that much...even if your not the princess..."

"look... sorry you got this weird obsession with that princess chick... but I'm not going anywhere with you..." she turned away from him and quickly started off again, wanting to get away from this town, it was just too weird.

Kross hurled the rock with pinpoint accuracy, hitting her at the base of the skull with such force that it would surely knock her unconsious. "Sorry!" He shouted.

Jiira froze as she felt the stone hit her in the head, the second time getting hit there in the last 20 minutes. A quiet gasp escaped from her lips as she slipped into unconsciousness and fell to the ground as everything went black.

Kross shuddered and cringed a bit as she hit the floor with a loud 'THUD', and quickly made his way over to her through the rubble.
Though it took him a while he finnaly reached her and heft her light mass into his arm's. Cradling her warm body he slowly made his way back to HQ and had her fixed up, her dagger removed and a new one put in its place, and put a sack of food in her lap.
After Doc was done doing his thing, Kross made sure to have her put in a tent and on a bedroll outside of HQ..."She didn't want to come in the first place...so I don't plan on forcing her to stay.." He said to his friend Adron, who took her outside and did the work.
This all took a few hours, thanks to Doc's clerical prowess. Beforelong Kross was standing atop a broken spire watching the tent for any signs of movement from the Ajjit woman.

Jirra woke up, groggily as she looked at her surroundings. She didn't know what happened, or where she was, but she wanted to get away. Then she saw the bundle of food, and her new dagger. "what the..." she couldn't believe it... and then she didn't feel any pain either. "don't stay to question it, just grab everything and go..." she told herself, and stood up. Jiira walked to the opening of the tent, crouching low as she barely opened the tent flap to look out and see if anyone was out there.

Kross smiled as she made her way out of the tent, whispering "We'll meet again...", hoping the wind wouldn't betray him and carry his words to her ear's.
He quickly turned around and disappeared back into the base.

Jiira quickly ran away, not taking long to get away, climbing up the first thing she saw in seconds, then leaping across anything she could that would get her away faster. Once she felt she was at a safe distance, Jiira stopped to rest, looking through the food and eating a bit. So the guy wasn't so bad... didn't matter, she wouldn't see him again. Right now she just needed to eat a bit and plan out what she would do next. Later that night, Jiira slept in an abandoned house, always on the verge of waking, waiting for the next day, and for the people..
When the sun finally arose, Jiira looked through the food and ate a bit, not wanting to carry it with her, and knowing that if she left it, she wouldn't get it back. So she ate what she needed and then was off to the market for work.

The market was a large section of the city, were merchants of all kinds had set up make-shift stalls or were even lucky enough to claim a building that had been recently destroyed or something.
Peddlers of all kinds dealing in, mainly, illegal goods and weapons. People were everywhere, clogging every street and pathway trying to get there hands on the wares they needed.
A little bar was nestled between an explosive and poison dealer...made of a small dome-shaped building that was probably some sort of temple.
Kross was sitting at the bar, sipping some greenish-white liquid from a long-necked glass.

((ok Jess, I'm gonna ramble on for a bit cause I'm bored.))
After lifting some valuables off of people, Jiira walked into the bar and walked to the counter, but then acted as if she didn't have any money, pretending to be sad until a man walked over to her and offered to buy her a drink.
She smiled kindly at him, blushing slightly to add to it as he bought her a drink. "thank you, you're so sweet." she set her hands on his wrists, as she thanked him, stealing his rings as she pulled her hands away.
She slipped the rings in her bag before taking her drink and walking away, giving the man one last kind smile. "men..." she muttered under her breath, rolling her eyes as she took a drink. She never noticed Kross at the bar as she walked to a table towards the corner.
When she sat down, she just sat there quietly until an Ajjit male walked over to her, smirking as he sat at her table.
"hello." she smiled at him, taking a sip of her drink. "I don't think I've seen you around before, new in town?" the male asked her.
"why yes in fact, I am." she looked at him as they spoke.
"well, if you ever need anyone to help you around this town, I'd be willing to offer my services." he smiled and set a clawed hand on her leg, the fur of her tail going rigid.
"would that be for a price, or just the goodness of your heart?" she smirked at him, winking.
"well I would like some compensation..." he smirked a toothy grin and squeezed her thigh slightly.
"well sorry, but I don't think I'll really need your help." she moved her leg away.
"oh come on. No one likes being alone in this type of town." he scooted closer to her.
"on the contrary, I like it." she didn't move, moving her index finger around the rim of her glass.
"well maybe I can change that." he wrapped an arm around her shoulder and grabbed her chin so that she was looking at him.
She didn't hesitate to pour the rest of her drink over his head.
"oops... sorry..." she said innocently.
"you little..." he growled and went to grab her roughly by the arm, but she had already moved.
Jiira got to her feet and leapt across the table, pulling her new dagger from her belt. "gonna have to be faster than that," she winked at him.
The Ajjit male continued to growl and lunged at her, but missed and she jumped over his head.
"Why are you so slow?" she laughed and kicked him in the butt.
"you're gonna pay for that." he turned and drew his own weapon, thoroughly pissed off.
The people in the bar moved back as Jiira and the other Ajjit fought, tables being knocked over in the process. She still didn't see Kross, too focused on what was happening.
As the man went to attack her, she quickly dodged and cut the pouch holding his money from his belt, grabbing it and taking a few leaps back.
"thank you for the donation." she shook the bag smiling, now pissing him off on purpose.
He made several more cuts at her, missing each time, but the last time was the closest.
He had had her cornered and she had just barely dodged his attack, climbing up the support beam of the bar as he attacked her so that he hit the beam instead of her...
Then the beam gave out and it fell to the ground, Jiira going with it. Dust filled the room and Jiira lay on the floor coughing quietly.
"why does everything fall..." she coughed.
Then she looked up and saw the Ajjit male standing over her, weapon aimed down at her.
"hi..." she chuckled nervously.
((and I end it here...))

Kross, hearing the commotion, stood up to watch, not fully realizing just who was fighting. An Ajjit male and female were fighting...a very sexy Ajjit with purple fur and a bigger one with red-orange fur.
A second glance and he knew just who it was by the way she leapt and jumped and balanced...then his eye's hit the dagger. He chuckled a bit at how she fought, guarding his gil pouch easily by handing it to his subordinate, drawing his blade. "I shall handle this..." He say's, shoving his way through the crowd and to the male.
He non-chalantly walked over and leaned up against the wall near the two, balancing his right hand on the handle of his blade, tapping the man's shoulder with his other.

The Ajjit male turned to face Kross, "What do you want?" he growled.
Jiira tried to move away, but the male quickly turned and stepped on her hand, keeping her still.
"hold on deary, I'm not done with you."
Jiira growled and lunged with her dagger, but he was quicker, and knocked her back, pressing the tip of his blade to the bottom of her throat.
But instead of looking scared, Jiira just got angry. "Move this blade or I'll stop taking it easy on you" she glared at the Ajjit as he just laughed.

Kross readies his sword by balancing it on his shoulder, tapping the male on the shoulder again.

"what do you want?" he snapped his head in the direction of Kross, glaring. "I'm a little busy."
Jiira finally saw Kross, and her eyes widened slightly.

Kross pointed up at the ceiling. "Hey look a distraction!"
