``^ "Nice. My race is Okamimi. My cat I named her Rain, she usually is a messenger and an alarm for me if something happens she'll usually let me know."He said as he looked up at the sky. "He might be you could always look around for him"He said as he continued to look at the sky^``
Lucien
"Oh I see, well Renru does the same thing but is like my eyes in the skies. He tells me if there is any enemies coming or if he spotted the target." *He says while looking around.* "I'm a bounty hunter so I need Renru to find the target which makes my job way easier."
Lloyd
``^ "Usually while I'm asleep or out Rain looks after the store while I'm gone. She might be a cat but her claws and teeth hurt."He said as he remembers the first time he got her she was so aggressive and finally warmed up to him but is now still aggressive but to other people his. "She's aggressive but not to me, she's still aggressive towards my family but not as much as she would be to a stranger"^``
Sandra
*After a moment of talking to one another, unbeknownst to the two of you, time would tick on from 7:59 PM to 8:00 PM in the time you were conversing amongst yourself. A few moments later, from behind the two of you, a tall, hooded figure would slowly approach the foot of the mountain to where you both stood. Once he came into close proximity with you both, he would stop, the hood covering his head tilting slightly down at you as if it were analyzing you both. You could sense that it meant you no harm, but at the same, was intimidating. Once it had finished 'examining' the two of you, it would open the cloak it had on to take out a piece of parchment on it, scanning over the text briefly, before putting it back inside his cloak.*

"Xeno and Victor, yes? Good to see you know each other. That might make this job an infiniteismal bit easier for you, dont you think? Im sure you know the basis of the mission, but I'll be so generous to give you some more details on the job.

"3 bandits, equipped with nothing out of the ordinary from what we could tell. From what we could gather, their sort of 'hideout' is halfway up the mountain, a telltale sign being a couple of tents and a fireplace. We don't know if they're asleep or not, but it would do you well to take advantage of how dark it is to sneak up and dispatch of them without any difficulty. If you find yourself in a brawl, then I hope you know how to hold your own in combat. I'll be watching from thw shadows to make sure the job goes well, but if it doesn't, I will leave. Any questions?"
Lloyd
``^As the he started to speak Victor stood up and turned around nodding. "I don't have any and thank you for the information. But I do think we could hold our own for a bit."He stated he hasn't done much combat but was glad that he said there were 3 cause that means their not too out numbered.^``
Lucien
"Sounds good to me. 3 bandits shouldn't be that hard." *He cracks his knuckles and grins.* "Victor, we should make a plan on how we're going to take these guys out. Any suggestions?" *He says while turning to look towards Victor.*
Lloyd
``^ "Hhhmm. Well I have a few spells that would help. Since water and electricity don't mix. I have a spell that basically makes a wave. I also have a electric spell as well."He said as he remembered he had his Daggers in his belt as he completely forgot about them. "I forgot I had these. But I have other spells as well."He said as he was thinking they could drown and electrocute them^``
Lucien
"Got any tracking or detection perks? I have this skill, its called Fog Seed. Since we're sneaking up on them I figured I could use it to blind them." *He said while pacing around.* "Since we both have daggers, we could use them as throwing knives, if you don't have any detection perks I probably won't use Fog Seed."
Lloyd
``^"I have Hawkeye and Silent. Thats an option."He said as he wasn't sure if Haawkeye would help as the stood there deep in thought on what they could do as his tail swished from side to side^``
Lucien
"Do you have any magical items you would want to summon? I can use Fog Seed and it will buy us some time to conjure our items up." *He says and keeps pacing.* "After the Fog Seed is gone we can go on a full attack, while they're confused. Sounds good?" *He stops pacing and looks at him.* "Of course I'm open to suggestions if you have something in mind."
Lloyd
``^ "I don't have any. But once thats gone I could send a be wave with Current and try to drown them. Fog Seed could be our distraction while we ready ourselves and get our spells casted"He said as he didn't have any magical items^``
Lucien
"I see, so first, I'll tell Renru to find the bandits, after we find them I'll throw down Fog Seed. We ready ourselves and I'll get my magical item and you get ready on casting magic. After that you send a wave and try to drown them. If they aren't dead, they are atleast weakened and I can go in and attack them with your help of course." *He smiles, he enjoys when a plan comes together and well-thought out.* "Ready to do this partner?"
Lloyd
``^ "Sounds like a plan. Ready when you are"He said as he smiled as well. Maybe working with others isn't so bad after all he'll still have to get used to it though. At least they have a solid plan that seems pretty stable^``
Sandra
*The figure, after staying to listen to your conversation, would nod his head slightly to the both of you as he backed off from the foot of the mountain, treading to the horizon until he could not be seen. If you looked up at the mountain, there wouldn't seem to be any signs of activity fron what you could tell, but then again, you were only at the mountain's base; most likely, more hints to their location would be evident as you ascended.*
Lloyd
``^ "Shall we go up?"He said as he was ready to start walking up the mountain as he looked at Ken with his deep purple eyes. His tails would be swishing from side to side in boredom or excitement. He would try to listen for anything near them as his ears strained to look in ever direction that they were allowed to^``
Lucien
"We shall." *He says and starts walking with him. He looks toward the horizon.* "I guess the employer is gone. It's just the two of us." *He would call out to Renru.* "Renru! Go scout the area and come back if you've found something."
Lloyd
``^ He would continue to try and listen for anything or catch a scent as they walked up the mountain. He might be half human but he has some wolf traits, like ears, tails, his hearing and smell are a bit better then a humans cause you know wolves have better sense of smell and hearing then humans do.^``
Lucien
*As we kept escalating the mountain the air got thinner which made it difficult for Ken to breathe. He stopped and looked towards the view.* "Victor, we should stop here and look, I think we're high enough. Let's see if we can find any signs of a campfire. Look for smoke or maybe a clearing that the bandits might have been on."
Lloyd
``^ "I've been trying to catch any scents but their stale and are all over the place most likely cause of the wind."He said as it was getting harder to breathe but he would hear the crackling of a fire and smelled a bit of smoke. "Follow me."He said as he headed into the direction of where he smelled a bit of smoke and heard the cackling of a fire^``
Lucien
"Huh? Oh! Okay, right behind ya!" *He quickly rushed and followed Victor.* "Have you got a scent?" *He said while breathing and exhaling repeatedly.*
Lloyd
``^He continued to follow it until they were almost at the top of the mountain. He hid behind a wall. "It's kind of fresh. So when are we gonna do this?"He said and asked in a very low whisper^``
Lucien
"You ready now?" *He says putting on his hood.* "I'll throw down Fog Seed and blind them. Since it has water vapor it can put their fire out." *He says in a whisper.*
Lloyd
``^ "Yea I'm ready. The wave should knock them off their feet."He said as he didn't have any kind of hood or mask so he was just gonna be him^``
Lucien
``` Fog Seed casted, 10 Mana used, 90 left. ```
Lloyd
```Current Casted, 10 Mana used, 90 left.```
Lucien
*Whispers.* "I call upon Kusanagi. Summon." Like ```Summoned Magical Item, 25 Mana used, 55 left. ```
Sandra
*Soon enough, the area around Kenpachi would become enveloped in a misty haze, putting out the fire that a single tent had faced. There would be a loud noise coming from inside the small structure, one that paralleled someone tripping and tumbling over various objects, before a stout and deep voice would call out towards the two of you.*

"Who goes there? I warn you, I am armed. I do not wish to fight anybody for the rest of the day; hunting has me drained. I implore you to leave me alone."
Lloyd
``^ He hadn't casted his spell yet as they were to ready themselves. He wasn't sure this was the area that the bandits were at as there was one voice but he would come out of their hiding place and realized they should've observed the area before attacking. "Should we say our reasoning for being here?"He asked Ken^``
Lucien
"Just wait. Interrogate him, ask if he's one of the bandits. Then we'll make our move." *He whispered while holding his katana tightly.* "I don't trust him yet. Not until we know." *He whispers again.*
Lloyd
``^ "Alright."He whispered. "Are you one of the bandits?"He asked making his voice sound loud and clear as he gripped his daggers in his hands^``
Sandra
*The person in the tent would pause for a bit, listening to Victor call out to him from the inside. Bandits? There weren't any bandits on this mountain as far as he knew; at least, from what he had seen. All the fauna in the area seemed to be concentrated near the lower levels of the mountain, so he hadn't bothered going farther up from where he was. The people calling out to him did not seem to be friendly at all; just in case they meant him arm, the man inside the tent would grab his hunting bow, keeping his arrows nearby. He would load an arrow inside the bow, backing off as he aimed it towards the entrance. If they tried to get inside, then that was trespassing on his shelter, meaning he had every right to fight back. By the gods, he just wanted to sleep... The hunts during the day had tired him from most of his energy already.*

"I am not 'one of the bandits'. If you're looking for 'bandits' you can look somewhere else on this mountain, leaving me alone. I'd prefer it if you really did leave me to rest, so I suggest that you, I don't know, go away?"
Lucien
"How do we know you're telling the truth?" *He yells to the person who just responded.*
Lloyd
``^ He would then think for a moment. Did the person that told them that there were bandits there lie and just wanted the man dead or to frame the two of them for a murder? Maybe. "I think somethings off"Victor said in his normal voice with his ears down as he thought^``
Sandra
"You see, you don't know I'm telling the truth, but look with your own eyes; can you even SEE traces of any sort of 'bandit' in my area? All there is right now is me, my tent, and my fire that you rudely put out. I was using that to ward off insects, you know. You don't know im telling the truth, but at the same time, you have no idea if I'm lying. Confusing, eh? If you think I'm a bandit and try to kill me, I warn you that I have every right as a Salvainian citizen to fight back. If you kill me, you're probably gonna get charged for murder - if not charged, your minds will never be able to bear the guilt of killing an innocent person. I'm going to say it again: Leave me alone."
Lucien
"Should we go? He seems like he's telling the truth." *He whispers to Victor.* "Let's leave him. He's made it clear he's not one of the bandits we were looking for." *He said in a low whisper and disappointed voice. He sighs.*
Lloyd
``^ "Yea let's leave him be cause from the looks of it we were set up."He said as he questioned why they were set up AND given false information about the bandits. He would start to descend the mountain after making sure Ken was following him as he put his daggers away^``
Lucien
"Just wait. Let's rethink on how we should approach them. I don't want to end up finding another lone traveler." *He stops and sits down to think off another plan.* "I could send Renru up the mountain and see if he can spot any campfires or camps." *He says and calls out to Renru. Renru comes swooping down and stops to rest on Xeno's arm.*
Lloyd
``^ He would sit down beside Ken."Alright then. If we do find any camp fires lets observe first for a while"He said as he would look around them^``
Lucien
*He would take 3 berries from his pocket and feed it to Renru.* "There you go, bud. After you take a rest, I'll need you to go scout the mountain and once you're done come back to me." *He said while petting Renru. Renru would ascend from his arm and fly away.* "Now, back to business. We should wait until Renru gives the signal. If you can hear more than 2 footsteps, its a good chance we've found them." *He had gotten cold and the night was upon them. He tried to warm his hands.* "Should we make camp? I'm getting cold and I want to set up a campfire."
Lloyd
``^ "Ok and yes we should while we wait so we don't freeze."He said as he looked around a bit and found like 6 little sticks. "These should work"He said as he made a circle with them. "Do you have anything to light it with?"He asked^``
Lucien
"Sadly, I don't but I usually find rocks and try to make a tiny spark to light up a fire." *He would stand up and walk around to find flint and rocks. After searching he had flint and rocks. He would strike the flint with one of the hard rocks to make a spark. He'd managed to get a spark onto the sticks. It lighted up and he blew air on it to keep it going. He would rub his hands together and hover them on the fire.* "Ah.. Much better." *He sighs then relaxes.*
Lloyd
``^ "At least while we wait we won't freeze"He said as he continued to think of what they could do or what they would do. His tails would be swishing as they wrapped around him to help keep him warm^``
