Suaro walked into the dark shop. The owner looked up at him for a second, then went back to what he was doing; cleaning the black and greasy counter top with a rag, to no obvious avail.
Suaro looked over and asked the shop attendant, "Do you have any guam brews?" The clerk looked up and motioned toward the back of the shop. A tall man in a dark cloak stood there. He looked sickly.
"Here's all the cash you will need to feed you and your village for the next year."
"Thank you, kind sir," the man rasped. "Where were you able to obtain all this gold?"
"Let's just say that Hyrule was feeling generous."
"Generous enough to put you behind bars and off the streets!" the tall man yelled. "I'm part of the Hylian guard, and I'm taking you in!" The cop pulled a sword from within his robe and swung it at the Gerudo.
Suaro drew one of his daggers and deflected the blow, sending the guard off balance. With a quick kick to his supporting leg, the guard went down. Suaro sheathed the dagger, turned and sprinted, out the door by the time the cop was back on his feet.
Suaro quickly disappeared in the forest, leaving the guard cursing in his wake.

Eldrin emerged from the shop's backroom just in time to see an apparent criminal being confronted by a guard. He walked up next to the shop attendant and they both watched in amusement as the criminal easily, but not violently, bested the guard and ran off. Eldrin munched on a stolen apple and watched the fugitive disappear into the forest. "Well, that was entertaining... Always good to know the guards are incompetent!" He commented to the shop attendant. "Oh, by the way! You might want to fix that giant hole in your stockroom wall... Just sayin', you never know what kind of ruffians might crawl through!" He advised, handing the apple core to the baffled shop attendant.
The thief picked up a couple rupees from the charity fund as he walked around the counter. They wouldn't need all of it anyway... Right? Eldrin walked to the door but stopped in front of the cursing guard. "Here, take this," He said, handing the guard a stolen rupee. "It's to pay for the damages..." Eldrin explained, stepping out the door. "You know... To your dignity..." And with that, he slammed the shop door in the guard's face. By the time the guard opened the door, the thief was gone.
It didn't take long for Eldrin to find the man in the woods. "Heh, nice moves!" He said, hanging upside down suddenly from a tree branch right above the other man. "Got a name?" He asked, smiling pleasantly.

"You can call me Suaro," he said cautiously. "And you are?" His hand crept behind his back and he pulled out his flute, and slowly twirled it in between his fingers.

The thief smiled and dropped from the tree. He flipped and landed right side up, facing Suaro. "Eldrin is the closest thing to a name I have... So I'd say go with that!" He said, cheerful as always. His sharp red eyes caught the flute being drawn out. This man reached for his instrument when threatened instead of a weapon. Interesting... "So, what's up with the flute?" He asked curiously.

Maximus was wandering the forest when he spotted Eldrin hangin from a tree. His face lit up like the sun, "Eldrin!" he yelled excitedly. Maximus ran straight for him and tackled the thief just as he dropped to the ground.

Suaro pulled out one of his daggers and put it in his flute pouch, and filled the sheath with his flute. He shook his head at the kid, then turned and watched silently, before turning and strolling away.

Iona burst out of the bushes, crashing onto the strange man's path, a raccoon leaping out of the bushes and pouncing on her, it's little hands making grabs at her jewelry, making all sorts of noise all the while. The black haired Gerudo kicked the creature off her and jumped to her feet triumphantly. "Take that, you furry bastard!" she cried when it was off her. But seeing it lay there and moan touched her heart and she apologetically stood over it, holding out a hand to scoop it up and hold it. It suddenly hissed, bursting to life and grabbed on to the bangles hanging off the wrist of hand, knocking her over.
They wrestled on the ground for a few moments and Iona then chunked the creature at the bushes. It hissed and wandered off, defeated. On the ground, Iona caught sight of the man and smiled sheepishly, embarrassedly rising to her feet and dusting herself off.

Eldrin tumbled with Max, managing to land on top of him. He sat on the assassin recruit's chest and pinned his arms down. "Eldrin: One. Max: ZERO!" He taunted sticking out his tongue. Upon seeing Suaro walk away, Eldrin released Maximus and stood up. He helped Max to his feet and chased after the smuggler. Moments later, Eldrin stood next to Iona facing Suaro. "What's the rush, Suaro?"

Maximus laughed a bit, "I'll get you next time!" he yelled. As he was following Eldrin he noticed a woman standing not far off fighting with a raccoon. Maximus smiled again and walked straight up to her, he liked to meet new people. "Hi! I'm Maximus. Who are you? And what are you doing out in the woods?" he asked bluntly.

Suaro looked at Eldrin. "No rush. There's just the fact that if I'm here, I can't run my business." He stopped walking and surveyed the two others in the area. "What about you? Why were you in the potion shop?"
Suddenly the guard that was trying to catch Suaro in the shop burst through the bushes. "There he is!" He yelled. Several other Hylian guards started to scramble through the bushes until the group was surrounded.
"Oh...shit..." Suaro moaned. He pulled out his flute and pushed it to his lips, readying himself.

Kadina had followed the familiar voices through the woods and was about to tackle Eldrin and Maximus as well before hearing a troop of guards running close by. She sighed. Typically, she would have dished out some amusing plan to distract them or make fools of themselves, but upon seeing a new face among her group of friends, she bailed on the theatrics and decided to see what he was capable of. Although she could have easily thrown her dagger into the back of a nearby guard, she didn't want to turn a lighthearted situation serious. She initiated the first attack from outside the surrounding to break the focus of the other guards. Kadina came up behind one of the soldiers, pulled his arm up as she ran underneath it, then flipped him over her shoulder onto his back. Once done, all hell would break loose. And she was looking forward to it.

Maximus shared the same love for fighting as his old mentor used to, and his face lit up with a brilliant smile, which only grew wider when he saw Kadina enter the fray. He wasted no time in reaching the guards, jumping into the air and kicking one in the face. And as he landed he swept his foot under another, sending him to the ground. Maximus knocked him unconscious with a swift but heavy punch to the face. He began to laugh as two more guards rushed him from the sides.

Iona became confused, and after such an epic battle with that rabid raccoon, she didn't feel up to par for fighting. So she simply sat down indian style near a tree because she didn't know how to climb one, and leaned back against a tree and closed her eyes. Maybe then she'll remember why she was here. A guard wandered over to where she slept and raised his axe to cleave her. A twitch of her nose and he was convulsing as electricity coursed through his muscles and he was dead before he knew it.

"Stop, stop!" Suaro yelled. "I don't want to have anyone killed!" He then quicky ducked under the slash of a guard, brought his flute back to his lips and started to play. A low pitched note came out, and the guard was hit by the sound, and knocked to the ground, and blacked out.

Eldrin smirked as Kadina broke the circle of guards. This was going to be too easy... A guard charged at Eldrin, swinging a sword at the thief's throat. Eldrin dodged under the blade and slammed his fist into the man's chest, bringing him to the ground next to him. He popped up with a twist kick, sending another guard staggering back, then ran over to Max.
Eldrin ran between the two guards and Maximus, stopping them in their tracks. "You know... Two on one is unfair..." The first guard opened his mouth to reply, but Eldrin moved in before he could speak. The thief literally reached into the guard's mouth and caught his tongue. Still holding onto his tongue, Eldrin punched him in the gut and swung him, by his tongue, in Kadina's direction. Leaving the first guard for Kadina to finish off, Eldrin turned to the other guard. "That's more like it." He said with a smirk, wiping saliva off of his hand. He nodded to Max to fight the man as he engaged another guard.
Suddenly Eldrin stopped, hearing Suaro's yell. He glanced over at Iona and saw the dead guard. He dropped the unconscious guard he was holding and maneuvered through the battle to Iona. He crouched next to the corpse and checked the pulse. "Well," He said, smiling at Iona. "You've just murdered a Hylian guard... And we get to be accomplices!" He accompanied his words with a little fist pump, as if being an accomplice to murder was a good thing.
