Mary
*The thief had been walking through these wilds for some time. He had no place to go, no where to go home. No where to call home anyway. He felt a little lost as his young age, and unfortunately he felt he would feel this for the rest of his life. Regardless, the Red Oni felt the need to come into the wilds of this area. Something dragged him here, and he was not too sure what.

He had been in his human disguise for about 10 minutes. He preferred this disguise.*
Alvin
*Alexi was taking a stroll through an unfamiliar area of the wilds, he had a journal out in his right hand and a writing utensil in his left as he took Nate's on where he was and what landmarks he was passing. What he was doing was taking notes on his surroundings so he could effectively make a map upon the area later. He frankly wasn't a fighter so he was in a vulnerable position, luckily he had his more animalistic traits concealed*
Mary
*Kaimarir took note of the rather vulnerable being. He paused in his steps as he was hidden away behind some bushes. His eyes were fixed on the being, watching him for the time being. He obviously had every intention to attempt thieving, but perhaps it was best to watch first before making a reckless move. He was silently staring.*
Alvin
*Alexi may have looked and was vulnerable, but he could defend himself for he had two twin daggers that he knew how to use. Now he would rather not be confronted in a fight or flight situation because he would most likely run and hide instead of being bold, this was his plan for most encounters though, he needed to know about the other for this to be affective though*
Mary
*He kept his eyes on the being, watching carefully for when his back was turned. With his head low, he made his way forward, the human being light on his feet as he approached the other. He made little to no noise as he approached, only making the most noise once he was close enough. He pulled out his own silver dagger and held it to Alexi's throat, not yet touching him.

**"Hand over your valuables."** He demanded, his voice being deep and quite intimidating.*
Alvin
"May I ask why?"
Alexi slowly tucked his journal and writing utensil away before holding up his hands as a sign of nonaggression, he didn't outright and attack because he frankly wanted to try and talk down the situation. This didn't mean that he wasn't going to attempt an escape though, especially when this seemed to be a human that he could probably out run or put maneuver.
"Because this isn't exactly the most polite of exchanges I've been in"
Mary
***"I'm not about polite, I'm about getting my way. I'd suggest you hand over your things before I take it from you personally."**

The human seemed to stand his ground for the species he was. He probably was a little over confident. He gripped tightly on the handle of his dagger as though he was holding back the need to steal not only his valuables, but his life too. He was really wanting this to be an easy hand over.*
Alvin
"Honestly, I'm very against that if I'm to be honest with you"

*It was a snarky remark on Alexi's part but he hoped that it served as a big of a distraction just so he could go on the counter offensive. With one swift motion, Alexi reached to his dagger upon his right hip with his left hand and pulled it out to try and deliver a slash to the robber. He frankly didn't care if this attack worked or not, he just needed an opening to escape*
Mary
*As though he was on his toes this whole time, he immediately sprung backwards to escape from the dagger coming his way. If Alexi turned to face the robber, he'd take note that the human looked somewhat human, except the eyes were... Different. Not human. Either way, he skidded backwards to a halt, the thief bringing up a horn of sorts that had a mouthpiece over the pointy end.*
Alvin
*The spring back was exactly what Alexi needed, he didn't turn and face the the man because he turned and darted the opposite direction as best he could. He hoped that the other didn't put up a chase but if he did, Alexi had a few tricks up his sleeve... They may not work though considering he was at huge disadvantage, one that he was unaware of*
Mary
*He inhaled and blew a long hum through the horn, a faint, blue aura surrounding him as he blew out and then lowered the horn. From there, he exclaimed loudly in a language that the other could not understand. From his mouth formed a 0.6 meter long, spear-like projectile that shot forward and towards Alexi, going at 100 fps. Hopefully, if it didn't hit him and possibly kill him, it would at least knock him onto the ground. So he hoped.*

``` Ability used: Vicious Mockery

60 feet. It has as much cutting power as a thrown spear. If the projectile is interrupted before it comes out of his mouth completely, it would cut through the target and then disappear, and would never impede Kaimarir. This spell takes 10 mana points and takes 4 turns to recharge.

-10 Mana Points```
Alvin
*Alexi didn't look behind him but he could hear a faint whooshing through his temporary human ears, this of course wasn't good so he briefly looked behind him to see a spear like projectile zooming towards him at incredible speeds. There was little time for him to act seeing as the projectile was close to hitting him so what he did was dive for the ground, the spear just barely clipping him as he hit the ground hard. When he connected with the ground, Alexi's concealment spell had subconsciously been released and his Okamimi self had been released to see... This wasn't exactly good of course because his little trick was useless now*
Mary
*The human swiftly made his way over towards Alexi, the spear projectile soon disappearing as he approached. He gave notice to the change in appearance of this being. Seems he was one of many forms too. Regardless, Kaimarir still had every intention to take what he wanted to, that being this man's valuables.

He soon approached at a close range, his eyes staring at Alexi.

**"Valuables, now."** He demanded.*
Alvin
"I would... But I don't have any"

*Alexi of course was lying, he had a bit of money on him as well as his daggers. He also had his journal and supplies relating to that but other than those things he had nothing else, it was hard to tell what he had though due to it all being concealed in his jacket but if this man was determined to take that as well... Well then he would have to put up a futile fight. Alexi had to wonder why he just couldn't survey in piece today, why must he have been approached by this man on such a day as today?*

"I do have to ask though... Do scum like you enjoy this?"
Mary
***"I'm a thief. It's what I do in order to get by. Much like a blacksmith needs to rid the grounds of ingots for his practices, I intend to steal whatever I can."**

His eyes looked up for a moment at the sky before he looked back down at Alexi. Kaimarir was not exactly tall, but it seemed that did not matter at all for the aggressive nature of this character seemed to be all that was needed to make a point.

**"So. I will demand once more. A man of such clothing cannot possibly be money poor. Hand over your valuables, and I will leave you on your way. Or, put up a fight, and I might have to do more damage than I need to."***
Alvin
"You see I may have these clothes but it doesn't mean that I have anything after purchasing them... I'm honestly shit at saving money after all"

*Another lie that Alexi was trying to conceal as a truth, it should be fairly hard to detect his lying though considering how the man knew nothing of him. This robber knew nothing of who he was or what his social status was so what Alexi was saying may as well be telling the truth to those who didn't know him* 

"I just make maps, sell em, then spend the profits. There is no saving in between"
Mary
*Kaimarir's bright yellow eyes could not help but narrow. Given the circumstances, he groaned and pulled himself back, moving away from the man a little bit.

**"I apologize."** He said quickly. **"I had thought you were wealthy. But suppose I cannot go on looks alone."**

He looked to the side for a moment before back at Alexi.

**"Speak nothing of this and I shan't bother you further."***
Alvin
"I don't plan on even remembering this to be honest"

*Alexi spoke calmly as he picked himself up and dusted his clothing off, purging his mind of any recollection of this ever happening. It was a exhilarating event of course so it may be a few till he was truly calm though* 

"I'll be in my way then stranger"
Mary
*The thief gave a little nod of the head. He did not entirely trust this man and his words, however he had to be safe in this regard. Among all other things, stealing from those of a poorer wealth was not something he would do willingly. Given the idea that Alexi may be of poorer wealth, he'd rather back down.

**"As to you."**

At that, he swiftly turned to make his move away. Though... He would most likely not forget so easily.*
Alvin
*Alexi then made his way out of this area, his heart still racing as he thought up of plans and ideas to potentially stop this from happening in the future... He would need to get stronger of course as he was near average as is, maybe a little below. He also needed to be a bit more aware of his surroundings because he was completely unaware of that person's presence until it was too late... He had so much to improve upon so he decided to get to safety and start working on that*
