Her hard footsteps on the ground seemed to shake the ground, her eyelids lazy on staying open. She was tired; a simple fact. For the last 48 hours, she had been up, no sleep whatsoever. And, it got to her. She could barely muster another step, when she fell onto the ground, closing her eyes for a moment. She dragged herself to a tree, and propped up against it, bringing her legs to her chest. She layed her head on her kneecaps, and quickly fell asleep.

(I added something to Vane ^_^)
A larger-than-average panther was stalking the bushes just then. TO add to its oddity, it had two, large saber teeth and a mark over it left eye. This was his assassin mark, in elf form, it was darker, but in panther, it was ash-black. He nosed th ground a little, looking for his mark. His nostrils flared at the scent of another near, not the one that was booked to taste the metal of his blade this night.
Curious, he followed the sluggish trail of the sleepy girl and stayed in the bushes as she fell asleep. When he was sure she was out, he slowly walked to her and sniffed the air around her, poking her with a large paw.

Reia snorted in her sleep, and opened her eyes lazily. She was used to having little sleep, and her large, blue eyes focused on the panther. She loved very little things, but, her heart was taken by cats. Lions, tigers, house cats, she loved them all. She smiled, and scratched him under the chin, unaware of him being a shapeshifter.
"Alone too?"
She asked, pulling away a moment to tighten the bloodred cloth around her face.

He lifted his head, not expecting for her to wake. But, her touch was soothing and he purred, sitting beside her. Most of the time, the panther part of him takes over and it now made him rub his head on her hand.

Reia smiled, kissing him on the nose.
"We're like each other. Misunderstood. alone. Right?"
She asked, sighing a moment.
"But, you probably have a mate and cubs at home, don't you? And you're just hunting for them..."
She smiled at the thought of cubs romping around him, his mate watching. She sighed, and looked at the sky.

His purring stopped and he shook his head. Heh, the idea of cubs... BAH! he thought to himself. He stuck his tongue out, then licked her face with it. He was a bloodthirsty assassin... but that didn't mean he could show kindness to a sleepy girl... did it?

Reia smiled, then stood up. Her gaze moved back down to him.
"Well, I just had me weekly ten minute nap. Back to killing, I guess."
She shrugged.
"At least I make a living off being an assassin, right? Well, I guess we depart here."
She shrugged once more, then turned her back to him, and started walking, her hearing picking up now.

The panther frowned and lifted a paw to follow her, but he thought better of it. She herself was an assassin and he knew that if he was on a job, he didn't want another with him, not even an assassin shapeshifter.
The cat yawned and laid down, watching her.

Reia kept walking, her nose picking up a scent. She looked back behind her, then lunged right as a hunter jumped from a tree to attack the panther. She rammed him out of the way, her four bladed dagger against his neck.

The panther stood and snarled, then sank his teeth into a second that was there to help the first hunter in case of trouble. He thrashed him around, then yowled as the hunter elbowed his face and broke a tooth. He threw him and coughed, licking the blood off his tooth before looked at Reia, in case she needed help.

Reia had already slit the hunter's throat, and lunged at the second. Her eyes showed anger, and with withdrew her sword as well with her dagger, stabbing him in the chest.

Vane panted and shook his head slowly, trying to rid himself of the pain. His legs gave as he flopped down and shrieked a panther call, the pain was building up and proving painful.
What he didn't notice was the poison the hunter injected with a poisoned knife as they fought. It hid in his pain. His ribs bled with green goo.

Reia pulled her blade from the hunter, and ran over to Vane. She noticed his tooth, and the green goo, and winced.
"I'm glad I kept these berries..."
She muttered. They tasted horrible, but, they dulled pain and rid of poison. She then pulled her cloth off her face, and using a little of her own saliva, gently picked up the part of Vane's tooth, and merged it back with the others. She wrapped the cloth around his snout, then pulled her cape off, wrapping it around his chest.

He watched her, gratefulness and what looked to be anger in his eyes. He was now in he debt. He sighed and changed into his elf form, making it easier for her to wrap him.

Reia noticed him change, and she jumped back.
"You...you're a shapeshifter..."
She stammered, then sighed. She shrugged, then wandered over again, wrapping his chest again. At the moment, she hated herself.

Though his chest was bare, he wore a pair of black pants. He didn't bother look at her, " Thank you.... I'm now in your debt."

"Yea, yea, whatever."
Reia snorted, not in a good mood anymore. She tied the two ends of the cape together, and got up, not bothering to speak to him again.

Reia turned her head to glare at him.
"Say that again, and trust me, you'll regret it..."
She withdrew her daggers, already ready to attack.

"Eh, yer probably at yer time of the month." He stood and put a hand to his wound as he glared back. A smirked came to his face, ready for anything.

Reia growled in her throat, then ran at Vane, anger burning in her eyes. Her daggers aimed at his throat and heart, her blue eyes seemingly turning red.

He suddenly vanished as her daggers were about to hit their marks. He re-appeared behind her and leaped to catch her.

Reia was taken by surprise, but quickly ducked, and stood back up when she was behind him.
"I've had enough already."
She raised one of her hands, her eyes completely red. An invisible hand wrapped around Vane's neck, and she smirked.

He gasped and tried to grab it. He bared his teeth and glared at her.

Reia smirked, and threw him against the ground. She tightened her grip, then pulled the hand away from his neck.
"Consider that your warning."
She snorted, and turned her back to him.
