She slunk in, staying hidden in the shadows. Her bright clothes were hidden as she dashed behind the thrones. She grinned, watching the guards, who left when their patrol there was over. She then slunk around, listening, before she pushed a wall open and closed it again. She chuckled, then stood up again.
Adri, they say Kestal is the richest city on earth. Don't mess this up!
She rubbed her hands together, then continued down the corridor, which got smaller and smaller until she couldn't hide in the shadows cast by the torches any longer. She shrugged, then entered the treasure room. She was right, it was the richest city. She grinned, and looked around, before seeing a pile that was different. She kneeled down, then noticed it had a small curve.
"Someone's been stealing before me. They didn't get away with much, though..."
She shrugged, then picked them up with her hands. She then looked around, shrugged, and made a small fireball to put them in. She filled it up, then patted it, as if it wasn't over a hundred degrees. She then noticed a shining ruby, and she picked it up, looking at it.

Someone came out of the shadows behind her. It was Vincent who stood behind her. He pulled out his gun and made it click as he aimed it at her. "Now what do you think you are doing with the castle's treasurey?" He asked her, blocking the only exit there was. He closed it and closed an extra reinforced door. He studied her for a moment, curious on what she was going to do.

Adri smirked, then snapped her fingers. The fireball disappeared, along with the gold.
"I was just getting enough money to feed myself and keep myself clothed, that's all..."
She didn't turn, as if she was ready to be shot, before she jumped into the air. She flipped, then pushed Vincent's head back quickly, trying to make him fall and crack his neck so it'd be sore.
"And, you know, I hate it when people interrupt me from getting the money..."

However, he was really balanced and he just bent his body backwards enough, but kept his feet flat. He then forced his head back foward into a regular standing position. He turned back to her and then grabbed her wrist. "Good luck on trying to knock me down. Anyways, I don't mind if you ask me for some money, instead of having to steal from it." He aimed his gun right towards her face.

Adri growled, and pulled, trying to get away.
"Well, maybe I don't know you. Now, I'd appreciate it if you got off me so I could leave, and, so I wouldn't have to do something that'd hurt a guy with as cute a face as yours."
She made herself look innocent, as if having to get home to a family.

Vincent stared at her, almost seemingly glaring. "Sorry, being cute isn't my thing." He then put his gun away and then grabbed her other wrist and put her arm together around her back. "Alright... Now I'm taking you out of her and tossing you onto the street. I'm feeling quite kind to you right now."

Adri glared at him from her position. She then set her body on fire, grinning.
"I guess I forgot to mention my power. And, isn't fire dangerous to play with?"
She chuckled, her eyes yellow in the orange and red fire.

Vincent growled and let go of her, backing away. He glared at her, then smirked. "That's an amazing trick you got there." He had to pat out the fire that was on his clothes, but he did it quite calmly. He then looked back at her. "Well, you got what you want. Go on and leave. I won't get you. Even if you do have a bounty on your head... Adri."

Adri stared at him, letting the fire die, so she could be touched again.
"How do you know my name?"
She demanded, then smirked.
"And who says I got what I want? Maybe I came for more than just treasure...you never know, now, do you?"
She smirked as well, ready to set herself alight again.

Vincent smirked. "Well, someone leaked your name and what you looked like. I don't know who it was, but it looked vaugely like you. So, basically you are partially known in the public. Just be careful, considering people are looking for the one million bounty on your head."

"And it grows every day."
Adri smirked, then turned. She looked at the closed door, then pushed it open.
"And you know, wouldn't you be after the bounty on my head also, twinkle toes?"
She didn't turn to face him, but she laughed, walking back up the corridor. She then stopped, and this time turned.
"Because you know, women just love men that are rich. Except me, but, I'm a nobody."
She shrugged, this time ready to pull out her scimitar.

Vincent shrugged. "I wish I was a nobody, unfortunately, my parents are part of the Royalty." he sighed and grabbed hold of his gun, just in case she was going to draw her sword. He smirked. "And I happen to dislike girls who just want my body or the money in the treasurey."
He then chuckled. "But anyways, I am not looking for your stupid bounty. I sometimes use the treasurey for myself. But I pay back when I go bounty hunting."

Adri smirked.
"Ah, so you're Vincent...just curious, why is your name Valentine? There's a nice ring to it, but...why Valentine? You seem to hate love...also, where'd you get the arm?"
She pointed to his robotic arm, curious about that.

Vincent looked at his robotic arm, then hid it behind his cape. "I just like the word, 'valentine' so I used the word. Anyways, it sounds better than Tamaro, doesn't it?"
He then sighed about his arm. "I was training in the training grounds with a sword against somebody. Unfortunately, it was an Assassin and he used a real blade, which I didn't know, so he got my arm... He had a special customized blade that could cut through bone, so he got me just right and cut off my arm. I'm just lucky that my dad was there to kill him and take me to Torak, the master of robotics and potion making."

"You know, I met Torak. He's the one that made the gun, wasn't he?"
Adri asked, liking learnng about Vincent.
"And funny thing is, he has a robotic arm on the same side, also. I saw it spark one day when he was shooting a man. Guns pack a powerful punch. And, err...I'm sorry about what happened at the Training Grounds. We assassins may be dishonest, but we still keep our honor. It's a weird honor, yea, but there's one. Just some like to destroy the name."

Vincent became curious. "Tell me about the assassin life. It sounds very interesting" he lowered his hand away from the gun and then walked over and leaned against the wall and crossed his arms, looking at her with his head lowered. His orbs were like serpants as he stared at her, showing he was more than a elf. They were shape like a snakes, a line down the pupil, instead of the regular round ones.

Adri looked at his eyes a moment, and shrugged.
"Well, you're always on the run. By the time you kill your first victim, the world already knows your name. Assassin's also fight their way out of being caught, no matter what. And when you become one, it feels like you are to sole balancer of right and wrong, love and hate, life and death. It gets to some, some don't care..."

"So you are saying some wants to show off trying to be known, while some just want to be a killer, and not care about the bounty that is put on their head." Vincent smirked. "Maybe I should try that later on... Not sure if I should be known though. What do you get out of it anyways? Besides the known you killed a mortal being."

"Well, you get money that you steal of the person. Then, you get idolization, and fear. And most of all, power. But, you also get the burden of feeling like you control life and death, good and evil, love and hate. Some go crazy with it, some don't seem to feel anything. Me, I just feel like the only person who is powerful enough to control such things. Heh."
Adri then thought a moment, and chuckled.
"Besides, one less mortal on earth, on less to worry about."

Vincent chuckled. "That's true. Sometimes they want to stop the person who killed that mortal, ethier by revenge, or for fame. It all depends on what it is." He then looked at her. "You are not too bad of a girl." He then said.

"And you aren't that stupid of a guy."
Adri smirked, then shrugged.
"I might as well go. Seeing as it's already becoming a bore here. No excitement, nothing interesting to do."
She started back out, humming to herself, swaying her hips as she walked.

Vincent nodded, then followed her behind. "Let me guide you on the way out, so that no one thinks you are sneaking around." He said, closing the door behind him and then closing the secret wall.

Adri rolled her eyes.
"A little protective, don't you think, for being the man who hates women..."
She chuckled, but stopped when she heard someone yelling with a guard.
~
"Well, I don't care! I want to see Vincent, and I want to see him now!"
She stomped her foot and crossed her arms.
"We're sorry, but, he say that he doesn't want to see any girls."
"I don't care! Get him, or I'll, I'll..."

Vincent rolled his eyes. "Oh crap... Why does there have be be some sort of girl wanting me?" he then looked at Adri. "Do you have any idea how so many people that always ask for me and it happens to be that nine tenths of them happen to be girls? I'm tired of them following me around and trying to get a hold of me..."

"Then find a girl you like soon if you want it to stop."
Adri laughed, then watched the girl notice them.
~
"Oh, Vincenty! I was looking for you! But these worthless guards don't know a thing, and I had to keep demanding they find you! I'm just glad you're here!"
She then noticed Adri. She glared at her.
"And who's she?"
~
"Adri."
~
"Riiight. What is she, your fiancee?"
