(Ugh, post quicker and post more. I hate waiting lol.)

Eventually they make it to 'Da Rabbit Stew'. "Uh, you first." Claire said hesitantly.

(Going to bed, I'll post tomorrow)

[BlueLight]

Asher held the cape that had Valious mark in her right hand. It was fold up now . "Da rabbit stew" would be a perfect place to keep watch on the street.

She entered the door. The room had on one wall 9 booths each with a curtain.
All of them have a perfect view of the out side with mirrors.
It's doesn't seem like the type of that does anything. Any it seems this place only sells one thing. "Rabbit stew".

[RavenLord]

Valdios was wondering how the heck Asher didnt see him. Yes it was crowded back at Declothed Queen but how hard it could be to notice a daemon knight who stands 2 m 43 cm tall? Seriously? Still Valdios decided that he wouldnt play mr nice guy anymore. He left DeClothed Queen. He knew where they were going thanks to Asher saying it out loud. So he arrived to Da Rabbit Stew one minute after Asher and Claire.

Kirin quickly found a switch, and pulled it. After quickly taking a step back, the door slowly started moving. She inhaled sharply and blinked twice, using her life detection spell again. Good, the figure hadn't moved. She peeked inside, and noticed the inside was completely dark. She frowned, something was off. The figure seemed like it was sitting, but who sat in a completely dark room? Her guard up, she silently entered the hideout, sneaking in. Luckily, the door behind her closed rather silently as well, and didn't give her away.
Even though her spell allowed her to see the figure sitting in the next room, it didn't let her see in the dark. She tried her best, but still kirin bumped into a wall. She groaned and rubbed her knee, before ending her life detection spell and muttering the incantation of a night-eye spell instead. She blinked twice once more, and suddenly she was able to see fairly well in the dark. She pushed away from the wall and continued her sneak, reaching the doorway of the next room. She had carefully noted where the figure had been sitting, and now that she hugged the doorpost and peaked around it, she smiled when she saw that the person hadn't moved.
She frowned, however, when the figure seemed to look right at her. A chill ran down her spine, but she remained behind the doorpost, figuring out what to do.

[Kankra]

Kazim had to suppress a chuckle, when he saw her bump into the wall. Then he heard the incantation of the spell and the figure of the girl now started to sneak perfectly through the hallway. "Clever girl, always adapt to the settings of your location first." Kazim thought to himself. Then he saw her peak around the doorpost.
Kazim smiled, when Kirin looked him into the eyes. He lit a fire in the fireplace behind him, the flames filling the room with a sudden blaze of light. "Come in and have seat. I've been expecting you." he said, still smiling and pointing to a chair on the other side of the table in front of him.

[Rooiehaan #2]

Kirin eyed the figure closely, and squeezed her eyes when suddenly he stood up. She peeked a little closer when it turned its back to her, and grunted when suddenly the room was filled with a very strong light. She quickly looked away and ended her night-eye spell, already rubbing her teary eyes.
Suddenly the person spoke, obviously a man according to the sound of his voice. She blinked when she noticed it was directed towards her, which made her pauze. How did he know...? She threw a quick look over her shoulder, back to the door, but decided to gather her courage and step into the light. She had come too far to back off now. All she could do at this moment, was quick thinking.

"My name is Kirin, and i am here to bring you to justice. You have been charged with multiple crimes, and i am here to take you in. It is good that you expected me; because if you already knew then you are aware that this day would come to be. Give yourself in peacefully, then we can wrap this up quick."

[Kankra]

Kazim smiled. He could see how the girl's ears literally steamed from her thinking and he could see the uncertainess in her eyes. He sometimes envied the young people, since they were always so energetic and fresh. But they were also very careless in rationing and concentrating that energy so that the most would come from it. The girl was one of those cases.
He stayed calm, knowing that any quick movement or unexpected action could cause the girl to act in an unforseen way. He sat down at the table, still looking and smiling at her.

"Well Kirin, tell me. What crimes would that be? And who is charging me with them?" he said with a calm voice. "And please, have a seat. I won't try to escape and after all, you're sealing off the only exit." he said, pointing again to the chair at the opposite end of the table.

[Rooiehaan #2]

After pauzing, kirin pulled an eyebrow and slowly walked over. With a loud scrape she pulled the chair backwards, and sat down with her hands on her lap; looking docile but ready strike.
"Your crimes, would be the killing of innocent citizens, the fleeing of multiple crime scenes instead of giving yourself in, and running away from me even though you knew i would come after you; making it another crime. And the person charging you, naturally, is the one that upholds the law. According to the scenes of the crimes commited, you are bound to be under the jurisdiction of Miss Marek Maoisi, and i am here to take you to her."
Kirin grinned a wicked smile, she loved saying this line and watching the criminals react.

[Kankra]

Kazim remained calm and gave a silent nod to show, that he had understood the charges that were brought up against him. "Ah, I see. Well, let me explain. I consider myself guilty in two charges. That, of fleeing from a crime scene, and that of killing people you called "innocent citizens", though they were anything but innocent. For the crime of running away from you just before we met, that was something I had planned all along, but I will explain that later, because I think you might have some questions, which you would like to ask me right now."

[Rooiehaan #2]

Kirin smiled at the man, he seemed rather nice for a suspect. Not everyday she met a well-spoken, calm and well-mannered suspect, who seemed to be quite literate. She placed her hands on the table, but had to stop herself from leaning forward while examining the man.
"I see. There is no way you could deny the facts you were the criminal, nor the fact that people saw you running away. My statement of you also being guilty of obstruction of justice was just a ruse, but if you want to comment on that, then please do. As for questions... Yeah, i do have a question. How come you, a seemingly smart man, get yourself in such a position? Blood on your hands and a detective in your little den?

[Kankra]

Kazim paused, thinking to himself. Then he looked at her and started talking.
"You know, they say 'When you don't have the ability to change something you don't like, then learn to live with it. But if you have the ability to change it, then change it.' and they say 'Where injustices becomes law, resistance becomes duty.'
That is where I see ourselfs come in. Me and my brothers and sisters from the order of assassins. We stand up against crime and corruption and this town is violent and corrupt beyond good and evil. A fact, that you are pretty well aware of, that is for certain. And you know, that the forces of law are either corrupt as well or not in a strong enough position to fight back, just like you. You serve as a detective, but it doesn't pay off very well and the criminals you catch are mostly little fish, which are mostly replaced by another one shortly after their arrest - and when they are released, there's two of them. Justice may be served for short, but in the long run, no good is done for the innocent people of this city, who want to live a peaceful life and don't want to end up in slavery or with a cut throat in a dead-end street. It bothers me and I know it bothers you, isn't that right?"

[Rooiehaan #2]

Certainly puzzled and confused by this rather straight-forward approach, Kirin started stuttering incoherent. She coughed and controlled herself, but couldn't help blushing slightly. "Yes" She replied, before coughing again softly to regain her composure. "It does bother me. But to fight fire with fire, is to become fire yourself, isn't that right?"

Kirin cursed herself internally, that fire comment was the smartest thing she could come up with. Damn, this guy wasn't just another criminal, he was doing the dirty work she herself wasn't able to! Long had she dreamed of taking the law in her own hands, but it quickly turned out that she was no fighter. Internally, her conscience screamed at her that this was the guy she had been dreaming to be, and that she had no right to backtalk to him like that. Honestly, her conscience told her that he was simply amazing, and it made her heart skip a beat, but her mind forced her to remain her cold face. By no means would she let him know how she felt about him.

[Kankra]

Kazim nodded agreeingly. "That indeed is one of the great ironies of our order. We fight for peace, but our weapon is murder. Furthermore, we tend to warn people of blind believe, yet we ourselfs blindly believe in our goals. And on top of all that, we try to liberate the minds of the people, by succumbing to the the strict rules of our creed. I'm afraid, I can't give you any answers to that, because I haven't found them myself yet. And I can't give you an answer, which others believe to be the truth, because every sentence becomes the truth, if it is just spoken often and loud enough.
But what I can give you is the chance to find the answer yourself, by fighting for what you believe in - justice. And that is why I lured you here. I hereby ask you: Do you want to join us in our fight for peace and freedom? Do you want to join the order of assassins?" He stood up and held out his hand to her.

[Rooiehaan #2]

Again slapped in the face by this man's sudden straightforwardness, Kirin could only stare at the man's hand he was holding out to her. Dazed, she took it, more out of instinct then anything.
This man was an assassin, a cold blooded murderer, but very much understanding his position, his situation and his actions. He was smart, able to think quickly and seemed like a man who has seen much of the world. He was a man standing up against criminals, inflicting his own punishment on them.
She was a mere girl, playing detective. She had no experience with the world, no sense of self. Compared to this man, she felt like a child. She noticed the strong hand enveloping hers, and the light twinkle in the man's eyes. Oddly, she felt safe near him. Not like a child; more like a daughter.

[Kankra]

Kazim smiled. He felt her insecurity, but he knew, that with practice came the expierence, that would give her even more inner strength.
"From now on you will live by the following three rules. One: Stay your blade from the flesh of the innocent. Two: Hide in plain sight, so that your target is unaware of your presence. And three: Do not compromise the order. Is that understood?" he said in an earnest tone, still holding her hand.

[Rooiehaan #2]

Finally getting some of her old spunk back, she said: "Yeah, thats all good, but i have no idea what your little order contains nor what it is about. So compromising might prove a problem. And about rule one and two: i don't have a blade. Worse yet, i don't even know how to hold one."

With a slight blush she finally remembers to gently pull her hand back, rather enjoying the feeling of the man's strong hands holding her own.
To cover it up, she giggled softly. "Can you imagine the look on the faces of the criminals i took in, when they realized i was all that time unarmed?"

[BlueLight]

Asher looked away to look at claire to say something.
She was about to say something until she head the door open.
Looking and saying "Fuck" as she notice Valious.
"Run!" she says as she grabs Claire's hand and starts running to the kitchen.

[RavenLord]

Valdios notices Asher running away. He grins to himself.

-She was more brave than this at our first encounter, she had even nearly beaten me at 1 vs 1.

Valdios calmly follows them and enters the kitchen after them.

[Kankra]

Kazim smiled. "When the time comes, you will learn more about the order. But for now, your main commitment will be to your training, novice Kirin." He moved around the table and gave her a pat on the back, leading her to a weapon holder at the wall. "And yes, I can imagine the looks of those mischiefs, but believe me: When your training is complete, you will not need a blade." He picked a long sword from the weapons holder, which was about 3 feet long. It had a horizontal crossguard and a pommel shaped like the head of an eagle. It was light, but still properly balanced. "But for now, start with this." he said, giving her the sword. He gave her a pat on the back and went to a balcony, looking out into the sunset.

[Rooiehaan #2]

Kirin shrugged, feeling a bit akward after getting called 'novice'. She was about to make a clever comment, when suddenly the man moved around the table and lead her to a weapons holder. She frowned at his words, unable to form a picture matching his description, until suddenly she got a blade shoved into her hands. She squeaked softly and nearly dropped it, before grabbing it with both hands. This thing was heavier then it looked!
She swung the blade around, careful not to hit any objects, and got spun around by her own clumsiness. Blushing slightly, she stopped practicing and followed the man. She found him standing on a balcony, engulfed in the light red glow of the sunset. She didn't know the name of this person, or his true intentions, but again her heart skipped a beat.
She shook her head and stood next to the man, glad that the sunset would mask her blush somewhat. Softly, she asked "So what was your name again?"
