A Wolf, A Girl And A Hunter(Blayde)

[Azuki Navaaha]

Once again, Azuki was walking out the Hotel and back to the Bridge and National Park. Boredom had taken over and Azuki wasn't going to let Eclipse keep her locked up in a damn hotel again. With her hood up and covering her black hair, the girl walked through the park and allowed her mind to just relax. No need to get worked up over a simple day.

When she got to the stream, or river, Azuki sat down and slipped her boots off. The last time she had been here, Eclipse had snapped at her which hadn't turned out in a very 'positive' way. Shaking her head, Azuki sighed, No, I won't let that memory come back to me and ruin my day. Plus like he said, I need to be social..I guess. she thought, rolling up her jeans and stepping into the water.

Azuki sighed, the water rushing over her feet and in between her toes, was so relaxing. Moving to the shore, she sat down and kept her feet in the water as she laid back..day dreaming. Her icy blue eyes shutting and her head going to the side, drifting off to sleep but still alert and ready for anything.

Blayde's heavy boots crunched through the dirt and grass as he ventured around the National Park. He had arrived in Romania only a few days ago, and had managed to make it to the area with the little money he had. He had a granola bar in hanging in his mouth, munching on it slowly as he walked. He had a small bag slung over his shoulder, where he had a sketch book and charcoal ready and waiting for him to use.

He was from a cluttered and dirty city in Germany, so this new outdoorsy area was very different. There weren't tons of cars littered through the streets, with buildings cluttered as close as they possibly could be. There weren't any sirens constantly going off, and the bustle of thousands of unimportant lives, rutting through another day were muted.

It was quiet, and he liked it. The normal ache behind his tired eyes was less hard, though the dark circles were still there. He didn't know how people thought it was an appealing appearance, though it was probably because of his gray eyes. They were intense, almost seeming silver. He had his mother's eyes, before she lost herself.

He glanced up, noticing a bridge further in the distance. He had on a pair of worn jeans and a black hoodie, probably not the usual attire for hiking through the dirt. His hair was in its usual disarray, spiking haphazardly. Many thought he styled it that way, but his hair just didn't seem to want to listen to gravity.

He paused when he saw a girl sitting against the water's edge in the distance. He hadn't bothered to try to stay quiet, since he wasn't on the hunt today. He was too tired to even bother, and he didn't really have sufficient funds if he got hurt. That didn't mean he didn't have his have his P226 Elite. She seemed to be sleeping, though it was a little odd and probably dangerous so close to the water.

His eyes narrowed, and his head tilted. Well, fuck. He had been told that for the most part people didn't come to the bridge around this time, and really wasn't in the mood to deal with people.

[Azuki Navaaha]

She had drifted off to sleep, her mind at ease, when she heard the thud of foot steps hitting the ground. Her icy blue eyes opened as soon as she sat up and looked around. She spotted a man, watching her as it seemed, and Azuki stood up in the water. "I can I help you?" she asked, her voice soft as a feather brushing against your skin. Azuki had remembered what Eclipse had said, to become social. Well, maybe this was her lucky day.

Slowly, Azuki moved out of the water and towards her boots. She leaned down to pick them up, her red hood falling back and showing her jet black hair. Straighten up, she looked at the man in front of her and tilted her head. He looked different to her, but then she realized. He had to be a hunter. No doubt about it. Don't freak out Azuki. she thought.

[Eri]

Yeah, by leaving. Was Blayde's inner thought as he stopped narrowing his eyes. She was pretty, and her voice had come out gentle and kind. He knew personally that not everything was as it seems, and his fingers brushed against the gun. The metal was cold, and he was making sure it was loaded and the safety off before shrugging his shoulders.

"No, not really. I'm just taking a walk." His voice was deep, deeper than it would first seem but had an airy sound to it. As if he was forcing himself to speak like it was something he rarely did.

She was walking away to get her boots, and he felt himself hope that she was leaving. He wanted to possibly draw the old, tattered bridge. He couldn't do so if there was someone around him though, it was too distracting.

[Azuki Navaaha]

She put her boots on, her feet warming up instantly from the warm leather surrounding her foot. She tilted her head a bit, tried to not look bored or scared at the thought of being around a hunter. "Oh.. Sorry to interrupt your walk.. I heard foot steps and woke up from my nap." she said, messing with a strand of her hair. It had become a nervous gesture of Azuki's, whenever she felt like she was trapped, nervous or just plain out scared..this girl twirled her hair around her finger to try and distract herself from something.

[Eri]

He sighed, knowing asking the girl to leave would be rude. She had been there first anyways, and he had woken her up from a nap.

Ugh, the thought of sleep made his stomach turn. When was the last time he took a nap, or even got a full night's sleep? He quickly dismissed the thought, taking another bite from his granola bar as he looked down at the ground to gather his footing before heading towards the water himself.

"Nah, I interrupted your nap so let's just call it even." he stopped when he was a few feet away from the water, peering into it before turning his attention back to her. She had pretty blue eyes, and was now twirling her long black hair. He was probably making her nervous, since he was a stranger and probably looked a little intimidating. "Are you from around here? I just arrived yesterday, so I'm exploring." Well, taking in his surroundings for future hunts, but exploring sounded more fun and less like work to him.

[Azuki Navaaha]

Azuki looked up at him when he started to move towards the water, She, of course, stayed where she was and watched him slightly. "Alright.. I guess." she said, making her hands drop to her sides. She really needed to stop twirling her hair, it was coming obvious to Eclipse when she became nervous or frightened by something. Slowly, Azuki made her way back to the water, and sat back down.

She looked up at him and nodded, "I was raised here. I can show you around if you'd like.." she said, nervously. She didn't mind showing him around, he seemed kind of..cute..to her. But then flashed of the young boy she had befriended went through her mind and she shivered slightly, wishing they would just go away. Sighing, she stood up and offered her hand out to be shaken, "I'm Azuki. Mom taught me to always introduce myself when I meet a stranger, even if I'll regret it in the future." she said, smiling a bit.

[Eri]

"That's a little odd for a mother to say..." Then again, so was calling your own child a monster. Well, to each their own. "I would think mommy's and daddy's tell their little girls to trust no strangers, and always look both ways before crossing the street."

When she sat down, he glanced over at her and plopped down onto the ground as well. He mulled over her offer, but decided to ignore it for now and answer later. The last thing he wanted was to say he was going to do something before he figured out if she was some crazy chick or not. He seemed to gain the attention of a lot of crazies.

"The name is Blayde," he responded, "I'm from Germany. I left home once I was old enough to."

[Azuki Navaaha]

Azuki shrugged. The only parent she knew was her mother, it seemed her father had vanished when she was born and never returned. So, she really couldn't say anything about them telling her to stay away from strangers. "Different for me I guess."[\b][\color] she said, putting her hand down to her side. She started to twirl her hard again and bit her lip, trying to stop being nervous. Why should she be nervou? He hadn't done anything to her...yet.

She smiled at him again, "It's nice to meet you Blayde. I've never met anyone from Germany before. What's it like there?"[\b][\color] she couldn't help it. He was a stranger to her, and was from Germany! She had been stuck in Romania for her entirely and stuck in a house for seventeen years of it...you don't learn much about other people form other countries.

[Eri]

It had been different for him as well, but the last thing he wanted to go into was his sob story. Whenever a person found out about his family, they would quiet down and get all touchy-feely around him. It only pissed him off.

"It changes depending on where you live. I was in a city. There are too many people, and it's really noisy. I didn't really like it, which is why I left. There are quiet places too, and a lot of great historical monuments. But I like to move around." He had a Romanian aunt, which was why he could speak the language. She was from his mother's side though, so he lost contact with her after his parent's divorce.

[Azuki Navaaha]

She listend to him speak about living in a city and it being to noisy, to loud for him so he left. Azuki wouldve left to, she didn't like loud noises much it bothered her ears and gave her a huge headache most of the time. Living in Romania, where it was quite, she enjoyed very much. It was amazing when things would get loud from time to time but then settle down and go quite again. A small smile formed on her lips at the thought of it getting noisy, "I don't think I'd be able to stay in a city. Living here, in a small place...makes noises hard for me to bear." she said shrugging a bit. "I hope you like it here. Everyone's nice..usually..unless they are drunk.." she said, shivering again at the thought of drunken men again.

[Eri]

"What, everyone in Romania a bitter, angry drunk?" he shook his head, a small smile passing over his face before his scowl returned. "Those types of people drink for an excuse to get rough. When I drink, it's to feel a little loose and relax." It actually helped him sleep a little, though he knew better than to rely on it. He wasn't going to be a drunk, like his father was turning into.

"There are a lot of tourists in the city, and everyone is cluttered into one place. There are a lot of bad people, so this small community is very...refreshing. If I was in the city, and I had woken up a girl taking a nap while on a walk, she would have screamed bloody murder, probably."

[Azuki Navaaha]

Azuki smiled slightly at his remark. "Not everyone, but they have their moments." she said. She kind of zoned out, her mind going back to when she had run into a drunk man and he had tries to be "friendly" with her. It was one of the many reasons she tried to stay away from people, mostly men though. She blinked as a thought came to her mind. If she wanted to stay away from people then why was she still talking to Blayde?

"Then I guess I wont be going to a city anytime soon." she said laughing a bit. But then her laughter stopped and she glanced over at him. She felt like she was being rude, like she had the feeling...he didn't like her. Sighing softly, Azuki pulled her red cloak around her body and messed with the hem of her hood. Unsure of what to do or say to him.

[Eri]

Blayde glanced over at her and shrugged, "It's not all that bad, the city. You can find things much easier, and there is more variety. It's not a bad place to visit, but I don't enjoy living in it." He waved his hands, seeming to be done with talking about city life. The real reason he had left wasn't because he liked to travel, but more because he needed to get away from his family. The farther away he got from them, the easier it was for him to live.

He raised a brow when she suddenly became quiet. She seemed like a shy girl, and her sigh only made him think he was bothering her. He pursed his lips, not really one to worry about how other people feel. "If I'm bugging you, just tell me." he stated, "I can go find some other place to sketch."

[Azuki Navaaha]

Azuki looked over at him, becoming interested in what he said about being in a city. Was it really that easy to find things? How many people lived in a city? She had only known of her pack living in Eden and then Lucas' pack in the next town but that was all. This would be the first time Azuki has settled down and actually talked to someone outside her pack. It was strange for her, but she liked it..and apparently she was glad that she had met Blayde.

Azuki blinked and looked over at him. She smiled her friendly smiled, "Oh no, your not bothering me...I just get shy easily around people." she said. She turned towards him and smiled again. "You like to draw? That's amazing. What do you draw..usually? she asked, until she realized she had gotten a bit nosy. "Sorry..didn't mean to ask so many questions like that.." she said softly, twirling her hair around her finger again.
