Just-A-Stick

Ash nodded and continued eating.

Auryn ventured into the tunnel behind the door. she made no sound. crouching to the floor, she found the invisible trap-door and dropped into the cavern below. "I... ok. I guess." Rex said.

"I don't remember any..."

Ash was silent, but looked at him with some interest.

Auryn slipped into a small doorway in the next ally and disappeared.

"No.. I think we should go... I can deal with a small headache..."

"Its good." Ash whispered, taking another bite.

Auryn crossed another street and jumped into another ally. She hid behind a shadowed doorway, fishing something from her cloak. She gave a sharp piercing whistle, and a dark figure appeared. they conversed in low tones for several minutes before she handed the figure something and rand down the ally again.

Ash fiddled with her spoon before putting a small bite of soup in her mouth.

Aruyn continued on her way down the ally, ducking from shadow to shadow. "Better now, though my head is still sore."

"Good."

Jacin rolled his eyes. "Do you want to get better? Do you even care?"

"Aye... so you have. But you never told me who you are."

"Who are you?"

"Please don't stop." Rex whispered, leaning into his touch. "I want to try to help, always." Auryn didn't reply. She stared walking again.

"Genteel men, please. It is not the time to fight." Jacin stepped between the two of them. "Xenk, how can we help stop this addiction of yours?"

"A Shadow can be anywhere. It is not the job of a mere mortal to questions the objective of the Shadow." Rex quickly wiped it away. "I'm sorry. Maybe you... don't want to become... attached to me. You're still healing from Julie, and I don't seem to be helping you at all."

"You can call me Shadow."

"Why should I tell you." She said over her shoulder. She leaned against him, letting out a small sigh of contentment. "Not even Julie?"

"You're welcome, but he may need... additional help..." Jacin glanced in Xenk's direction.

"oh.. Well, I'm very glad you did... I've never kissed anyone before..." Rex blushed looking at her lap. "That's nice. Now leave me alone." Auryn turned and stalked down the ally.

"He tried to drink himself to death, and tried to overdose with drugs. Is that normal?" Jacin eyed the man

"What makes that a problem? Did you think I wouldn't like a kiss?" "I belive that's the question I should be asking you, since you're the one spying on me!" Auryn growled, hand on the hilt of her sword.

Auryn turned around quickly, a small sound in the darkness behind her warning her that she wasn't alone. "Well, you never asked."

Jacin slugged Xenk in the arm before stepping forward and shaking the man's hand. "Hello, I'm Jacin. It's nice to meet you. I have some... things of some importance I wish to discuss with you about our friend Xenk over here." @Lightweaver2
