BogMod/WoundedWoman
<ST_Mod> You leap from rooftop to rooftop, following the blood and then spot her, leaning in a shadow against a wall in an alleywall, holding her side and hunched over in pain.
- Orchid lands quietly as a feather next to her, then holds down her knife to her, handle first. "You forgot this in my room, miss."
<ST_Mod> She leaps back from you lightly when you drop down beside her, eyes narrowed in hate. "You...I will kill you for turning him against me."
- Orchid is utterly ignoring her own open dress and anything but ordered hair.
<ST_Mod> The other girl is naked, its not like it matters much to her.
- Orchid sits down next to her. "Of course you will. Now let me take a proper look at your wound. Don't want it to get infected or anything. Haraka would perish in self hatred if he learned that he had killed you. Oh, and don't even try to stab me. Sure, you might hit. But imagine what sweet Haraka will think when I do not return and my body is found tomorrow."
<ST_Mod> She steps back, only her glittering eyes visable in the shadows she cloaks herself in. "You shouldn't have followed me..." Her voice shifts, getting deeper, "Once you are dead I will win his heart back." And those glittering eyes seem to move up, and she is either climbing the wall or getting taller.
<Orchid> "Oh well. And here I wanted to talk reason with you. Just tell me one thing, sweet innocent, foolish girl. Just exactly what are you to evade us like you have, and fight thugs like you did. Hmm.. Still owe you for that one. Guess that is why I am here, not enjoying a certain man's embrace back in bed."
<ST_Mod> A low animal growl rolls out from the shadows at your words about enjoying a certain man's embrace and you can now see the moonlight catching on several different points...perhaps claws.
<Orchid> "As for Haraka's heart. You never had it. It takes more than following a man around and killing his lifelong friends to win a man. Work and devotion. And I am not about to yield one of my best friends off to any girl who has proven neither, who I can't be sure will make him happy. Tell you what, I propose a challenge."
<ST_Mod> A figure steps out of the shadows, and it isn't a girl. No, this 9 foot creature with fur darker then the night, long bladed claws extending from hands and powerful muscles clearly rippling underneath. "Shut up. You will die now."
- Orchid shakes her head, then leaps up the the roof above and looks back down. "You prove to him and me that you are worthy of him, win his heart and win my trust in you. Then he is yours."
<ST_Mod> The dark figure moves back into the shadows even as you move into the light of the stars and sky. "Very well but know this that you live now on my sufferance. I will win him from you, and then I will take your life. You will see that our love is greater then your base appeal. Are we understood?"
- Orchid chuckles. "We are, my rival. You realize though that I am ahead now. And I will now go back to the inn and have passionate love with Haraka. That extra lead for me will be your punishment for your rudeness until now. Aftyer this I will be a fair opponent."
The figure disappears into the darkness to plot her next move.
- Orchid turns and leaps away into the starlit night - oh, and to a warm bed and a man who DAMN BETTER be ready to not sleep at all until the break of dawn.
