lyneel kingdom, layfon had to say, was not a disappointment. the lush environment was soothing to say the least, and it was a good change of pace from the whole sailing aspect of being on the run. in hindsight, he really probably shouldn't have gotten himself involved into other people’s business. guess it suited him just right for being a busy body.
however, it seemed that the consequences were a bit to heavy. to his knowledge, he didn't exactly have a bounty yet, but the marine he pissed off - accidentally he swears - didn't seem like the type of the to leg go of a grudge. in fact, layfon didn't doubt they were probably looking out for him right now.
ugh. he just wanted to sit down and enjoy the good times. lyneel architecture was meant to be savoured and understood as an extension of history. definitely not as something one just passed running by.
scratch that.
definitely not as something to be taken in while one was hiding in an alleyway from the marines. hurried footsteps passed by as two uniformed men passed by him. this was the time! quickly, layfon made his move by joining into the crowd as casually as he could. it'd be easy enough to act like a non-criminal right?
probably not. without even fives steps into the street, the young man's rushed movements crashed into someone and caused his bag to fall on the ground - his books sprawled on the flow.
"Oh dang it," layfon excused hurriedly with the best passive voice he could, "I'm sorry for bumping into you. The streets' are a bit crowded these days."

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=width,100px,true][atrb=style,vertical-align: top; padding: 5px;] | [atrb=border,0,true][atrb=width,400px,true] lyneel kingdom, huh? etta mused as she took a bite of the sweet cake she'd picked up from a stall before. she'd charmed the man with a bright smile and a few flowery words, enough for him to ignore her taking off with one of his baked goods. she was feeling mighty piratey and mighty proud of herself for the accomplishment. she hadn't gotten to the theft part of being a pirate yet. but she'd take it up a notch sooner or later! if only she could find a crew, though. it'd make her adventure to become the greatest pirate doctor in the world a hell of a lot less lonely. she grumped about the fact that no pirate captains had come to swoop her up yet. naturally, she probably didn't have much renown yet.. or rather, none at all. she'd really have to start working on that.
that is, after she'd appreciated lyneel kingdom a little more. it was so pretty here! she'd daydreamed about setting up a medical clinic here, much earlier when her head wasn't set on her shoulders right. it could be her backup plan at least. she took another large bite of the sweet cake and chewed thoughtfully as she walked along the street, blending in with the large crowds. her pink hair stood out quite a bit though. there were whispers and looks here and there, but she was fair enough used to them by now. she couldn't help glaring back at them though, adjusting her backpack on her shoulders. she was starting to feel ready for a sit down at a cute cafe somewhere that wasn't so busy. she'd seen enough of the sites for today.
as she was looking around the street for a place to go and feed her face at, she stopped paying attention to her surroundings. when someone ran into her she was taken completed off guard. her cake fell to the ground. she pouted like a little kid, but then looked up in surprise as the person apologised. she found herself grinning at his hair. it was lovely hair, she decided. she said that out loud without realisation.
"so'kay, lots of people tend to run into me," she grinned sheepishly, hinting that she was a little at fault, "at least you said sorry though!" she was awfully cheery for having lost her cake. if there was one thing that could make etta grumpy, it was having her food tampered with.
"but ah, your books!" she crouched down to start gathering them up, being careful to brush any dust off.

crap. way to go, layfon. not only ruining your own day, but now you've ruining someone else's day too huh? he scrambled to pick up his books, feeling slightly guilty at his actions. a good cake gone to waste too. turning to the young lade, he accepted the dusted book from her hands, waving the dirtiness off without a care. "no, no. it's fine. i'm sure have way more coffee stains than a little bit of dirt."
taking the girl into his sights now, she was quite pretty with her long hair and intelligent looks. thinking about it now, the people on ohara would have loved for someone like her. you know, the book smart type. not like him and his thrill seeking ways. actually, his mentor probably would have had a heart attack by now if he heard about what young man was currently up to.
looking up now, shades of white and blue caught his attention. shoot, another pair of marine patrols. as expected of the security in a world government kingdom. having no where to escape, layfon suddenly had a brilliant - but rather shady - plan. he'd hate to use the girl in such a way, but the young scholar needed an accomplice to seem convincing.
offering his hand, layfon offered the best and most awkward smile to this day. "but honestly, sorry about your-" he looked at the box of what appeared to be food inside, "- uh, box. why don't i take the chance to buy you another. i could use some food too."
attempting to subtly lead her away from the vise of the marines, the wanted man gestured towards a nearby cafe in hopes of escaping their site. "so, what do you say?"

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=width,100px,true][atrb=style,vertical-align: top; padding: 5px;] | [atrb=border,0,true][atrb=width,400px,true] coffee stains? she giggled as he took the book from her. her books, while she was overly precious with them and tried to keep them in perfect condition, had coffee stains all through them. she guessed there was a lot more things they'd have in common. so far their wild hair colours and carrying around so many books were checked off the list. she wondered if he had the same kind of appetite? she was being creepy now. he was just a stranger that happened to bump into her. that's all. his next action caught her by surprise though, when he offered her his hand. she stared at it for a second, pushing a few strands of her behind her ear. he was offering to get her another cake. well wasn't he a gentlemen? etta smiled and took his hand without much hesitation. it might have been a little naive but she couldn't always believe the worst of people.
"i'd be happy to," she chimed. "i'm starving too. and i could use a good coffee." or five. etta had a problem when it came to drinking coffee with restraint. it came from years late night studying. she bit her lip as he pointed around a few cafes. they looked pretty upmarket, and she was only wearing denim short shorts and a loose, flowing white shirt, and flip-flops. her hair was down and probably a messy of waves. she rubbed her nose, worried she had any dirt on there (she usually did). "how do i look though?" she asked with a frown as she tried to check out people inside the cafes. leave it up to etta to be self-conscious. |

layfon grinned as he saw the girl visibly perk up at the sound of coffee. it really said a lot about a person, probably that she also lived off the smell of coffee in the morning like all scholars did. great, now he felt even worse as her innocent personality was prickling like needles into his guilty consciousness.
"you look absolutely fine," he Freudian-slipped out, the male in him unconsciously - well, you get the point. slapping himself mentally, layfon made a note that he was supposed to be looking out for marines and not for girls. yes, they were pretty, but they also aren't the ones that could land people's asses in jail.
the young man shivered. who know what they did to their prisoners?
speak of the devil. one of the marines turned to him and made eye contact, giving him a questioning look. crap - his cover wasn't blown right? quickly, the wanted scholar threw a smile as to ease the tension.
too bad it didn't work.
jumping into high gear, layfon panicked grabbed the woman's hand, "sorry, but we gotta run." and thus the chase was on as he led his new and rather unfortunate accomplice into a mess with him. zigzagging through the crowds, the young man wasn't really thinking and more worried about his possible future in prison. in fact, he wasn't really aware that he was dragging her along.
they were off to great start, weren't they?

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=width,100px,true][atrb=style,vertical-align: top; padding: 5px;] | [atrb=border,0,true][atrb=width,400px,true] when he said she looked fine etta wasn't sure whether to thank him or glare at him. she looked like a bloody mess and he knew it! or maybe that was her being too 'female'? she pouted, and was about to declare that they go into the nearest cafe but when she turned to the man she noticed he wasn't paying attention to her, but someone else across the street. someone who just happened to be a marine. her eyes narrowed instantly. etta was no airhead. she could be clumsy at times but she was a smart girl. she could feel the tension and, taking a wild guess, she figured that he was on the run from the law. why, she wasn't sure. but her senses were tingling to tell her that he was more than likely a pirate. at least she kind of hoped he was.
before she could ask him outright however, he grabbed her hand and with an apology was dragging her along as he ran off. etta didn't protest, just tried to match her speed with his, curving her way through the crowd and surprisingly, holding on to his hand. it was kind of exciting, she thought. but as she thought that, she also decided that running wasn't going to get them too far. so the moment she could, she tugged on the man's hand, pulling him through the crowd at the side of the street and into an alley way. it was dark and surprisingly void of people, but from the hustle and bustle of the street outside, the marines wouldn't be able to get to them in here. huffing and puffing, etta tried to look out to see if anyone was trying to push through. unsatisfied with their temporary hideaway, she tightened her grip on his hand and tugged him down further into the alley way and down a narrow corridor, wide enough to allow a man to stand sideways.
"that was fun," she whispered, grinning as if it was just a game of hide and seek. |

layfon panted lightly as he gave her a raise eyebrow. fun? really? it seems that she was more into this whole running away thing than him. of course, the man couldn't complain if she was going to help him out. although, he couldn't help but wonder if she had already realized that marines were after him.
either way, the wanted man ended up chuckling. how coincidental would it have to be that he'd pick up the one girl that seemed to have a background knowledge in these things? "very," he grinned, "had some personal experience with this before?"
despite it being more of a witty and jokingly question, layfon couldn't help but think that she'd say yes. now that he thought about it, the girl was certainly quite sneaky with the way she moved - not that he was paying any particular attention to her body or anything - just that he didn't was too busy running away to think about hiding like she did.
finally calming down to thinking about the actual situation, he realize that they weren't really in the safe zone yet considering they were still on the run. taking a break in the alley was hardly the perfect get-away. "so ms..." layfon realized that he was pretty much dragging a stranger into his trouble. again. "sorry, i never got your name. i'm layfon, and is it a pleasure of mine to meet you. thanks for saving me back there!"

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=width,100px,true][atrb=style,vertical-align: top; padding: 5px;] | [atrb=border,0,true][atrb=width,400px,true] etta only smiled when he questioned her experience with running away. truth be told, she hadn't had to run away from any marines as a pirate (at least not yet), but she had plenty of experience with hide and seek. back home she used to be a right terror in her teenage years, getting up to all sorts of mischief and causing trouble for her parents. that usually ended up with her running from them. she caught onto a few tricks along the way, including how to hide. thinking about that, she strayed on to thinking how her parents were faring. she hadn't seen them for a quite a while, hadn't sent them any letters or tried to contact them.
she didn't respond to his question, whether or not he was expecting one. he had been joking at least a little, she thought. etta watched him quietly in the dark on the little hole they'd found to hide away in. what was his deal? he definitely had to be a pirate of some sort. or at least something exciting. he was terribly polite for a pirate though. etta frowned as he introduced himself, and thanked her for the help. she'd met a lot of pirates along her travels, but they were all down right stereotypical scallywags. maybe she was wrong about him. maybe he was just a "gentleman pirate".
"uh, etta," she muttered distractedly, trying to figure him out. she snapped out of it within a second, putting a cheery grin back on her face. "i'm etta fray! it's ah, charming to meet you too." she put her hands on her hips (a little awkwardly due to the narrow hiding place), and gave him one of those 'i mean business' motherly looks. "now, if you don't mind me asking, why were you running from the marines? because i'm assuming that's who you're running from, after you eyed one across the street before dragging me off." |

"eh?" layfon visibly flinched at her question. she was certainly perceptive in her ability to notice things around her. in fact, he wasn't really sure what he should say. etta's pleasant personality was one that he wanted to keep with. but then again, the young man doubted his lies would work on her.
"well, you know," he played around with the words in his mind. layfon cleared his throat as if there was something lodged in his throat, causing his inability to speak. in reality though, the truth was not so far away if one thought about it metaphorically.
"i'm kind of a pirate and you know how marines get around people like us. mind you though, i wasn't really expecting to be a pirate in the first place."
the event itself was a stupid one. after getting into a fight some men at the bar, the young man was messed in a bundle of mess that had ended with the marines breaking things up. unfortunately, the rowdiness had interrupted the captain's daughter's wedding day - which caused everyone to be assumed as pirates and sent everyone to jail.
now that he thought about it, he probably shouldn't have ran from the marines that day. truth be told though, he was new at this criminal thing if that was a valid excuse. realizing he had spaced out, layfon shifted uncomfortably in his spot.
"right, anyways. it's a long story. but i don't mind, really, being a pirate certainly puts some excitement into my life. speaking of, what is it that you do?" he tapped his chin in consideration, "i didn't think there'd be a job where someone would need to be so talented at helping criminals escape?"

"i'm a doctor," etta replied at first. certainly the man couldn't be much a threat, if any. and etta was a nobody anyways, so there really wasn't much reason to be so cautious - especially when he was so open with her. suddenly, a slow grin lit up her face. "and ah, i'm a pirate too," she added a little sheepishly. "i'm good at being lowkey though. i've never had to run from marines until today... but, hey," etta paused, scrunching up her face, "i think we're standing in pee." |
