Valentina jumped off the limb, landing in a kneeling position. She couldn't shake the anger in which she felt so profusely. Any skilled fighter would have left that fight without breaking a sweat. She, on the other hand, had acquired a gash to her side. How clumsy. She thought. They were henchmen. And I am-
"Wow! That...was amazing... I didn't even have time to draw my weapons." Her thoughts interrupted by the man, she looked up to him with a glare that was no where near friendly. She was more mad at herself than anyone, but, being Valentina, she felt the urge to take it out on him. "Where did you learn to do all of that? And you looked like you knew that last one, who are they?"
Then she remembered the way he meant to warn her. Her ignoring him after he followed her. The fact that mere minutes ago, she was rummaging through his bag. And now... "You should probably come down so that I can deal with your gash." ...his generosity to mend her wound. Valentina felt indebted to this guy. He made her feel guilty, and irritated, and weird, and she wasn't quite sure how to react with all these unfamiliar and annoying emotions.
"Just who do you thi-" She pointed at him as her shoulders tensed, stopping herself from saying something that may seem rude. "Why are you..." Her voice trailed as she stumbled for words. Nice words. Nice words. Say nice words, V. "What are you trying to pull?" She finally blurted.

(Sorry Kadina, I don't know how you'll be added in yet. I can try to figure something out though. (not sure if smiley for trying to figure something out or frown face for not being able to add you...))
"What are you trying to pull?" The words stung a little. He was trying to be friendly, trying to be nice, SAVING HER LIFE, and she assumes that he wants something. Maybe he was coming on a little strong.
"I'm not trying to pull anything. I thought I might talk to you. Maybe get to know you. Be nice and try to make a friend. I mean, it's the least you can do, considering that you were trying to know more about me without permission." He felt like he was coming off as angry. He was trying not to because he hated being angry at people. He hated anger in general. "If you want, I can leave. I wouldn't really like that but if that's what you want, I won't argue with it. Just let me look at your cut first."

(Kadina, you should just emerge with fireworks and explosions and have little children come out of no where and throw candy around in celebration of your arrival to the thread)
"I'm not trying to pull anything. I thought I might talk to you. Maybe get to know you. Be nice and try to make a friend. I mean, it's the least you can do, considering that you were trying to know more about me without permission."
Valentina looked up at him, studying his hurt expressions, and his kind smile that he managed despite them. His eyes were friendly, and she caught herself starring at him for longer than she should have... Wait. What am I doing? I don't even know this guy.
"If you want, I can leave..."
"No!" Valentina muttered under her breath. She involuntarily winced. It was either because of the pain of the wound, or his words. She wasn't quite sure. And he continued, "I wouldn't really like that but if that's what you want, I won't argue with it. Just let me look at your cut first."
"What, this?" She shot back with a smile, "Why, I can't feel it at all. And besides," Valentina's eye's narrowed. "How do I know I can trust you?" She made her best attempt to stand confidently and readied her hand over the pouch on her leg, which she kept her senbon in.

"Why, I can't feel it at all." Elye looked at the cut when she said this. I'm pretty sure her blood stained clothes would say otherwise "How do I know I can trust you?" she said inquisitively.
Everything is always about trust with these humans. If someone isn't with you, they're against you. Back in his cell, he didn't think for a second that he couldn't trust the Twili. "How do you know? How about the fact that I let you off after snooping through my stuff. Or maybe how I warned you about the bandits. Or maybe how I was going to take them out before you decided to act upon them." With a slight flick of his wrists, he slid the daggers down from a compartment in his sleeve so that they were in each hand. "I could kill you right now if I had any intention to do so. Well, maybe not kill, but I could at least do some major damage. Luckily, I don't have any intention of doing so." He let go of both of the daggers so that they dropped into the ground and stood straigth up. He raised his hands in the air and took three decent sized steps backwards. "If you want, you can have my weapons. I'm not here to harm you"

Ashamed of the truth in his words, she crossed her arms and tilted her head, squinting at him as if deciding if she accepted his truce. As if she had a choice. "It's not like it's my fault you leave your things unattended..." She began to dig herself a hole. But the more Valentina tried to be nice, the more she'd find herself saying the wrong things. "And as if I'd want those..." She rubbed her forehead in irritation, her hole being dug only deeper by the second. "Okay look, fine. You win." She began to pace toward him, "I'm sorry I looked at your stuff..." Her gesticulation becoming more and more wild the more she dragged on. "And I didn't mean to take on people you had dibs on." Now only a foot or two in front of him, their height difference became more apparent. "I'm not good at this kind of thing so..." And Valentina extended her arm.

Elye should have made sure there weren't any needles waiting for him. "It's fine about the bandits. I quite enjoyed watching the fight. Even though it was quite fast. I applaud you on your skills." He realized that he was leaving her hanging like she did to him. He reached forward with his sweaty hands and shook her hand. Hopefully she doesn't notice how sweaty my hand is. "It's a pleasure to meet you..." He remembered that she never said what her name was. "I'm sorry, but what is your name?"
(sorry that this post is so short)

"You can call me V." She quickly changed the subject. "So what's a big guy like you, doing out in a quaint place like this, with a pair of things like those." She pointed over to the daggers, still sticking out from the ground.
(I think it's safe to say it's impossible to not be short when A. there's only two people and B. we've just met.)

"I was out here to relax. I've been working hard for quite some time now and decided to take a relaxing swim. I'm actually glad I did. Oh, my daggers are because..." Elye wasn't sure if he should tell her that he was an assassin or not. If he told her she might either think that he was a ruthless killer or a threat. But he didn't want to lie to her because they just got over the trust barrier. "If I tell you why, can you promise me that you won't tell anyone or judge me? It's not that I'm ashamed, I just don't want you to get the wrong idea."

For whatever reason, Valentina let out a small laugh when he asked her this. Perhaps it was the fact that she hadn't been around someone comfortably in ages, and anticipating a tall and strong looking guy to reveal something personal... It seemed so bizarre that she'd found it laughable.
"Yeah, yeah." She waved her hands indicating him to proceed but couldn't help but laugh again, this time she covered her mouth to try and make it stop, cleared her throat, "You were saying...?" and awaited his response with a massive grin on her face.

Elye wasn't sure how he should handle the situation. He was about to tell a girl that he was an assassin but she was laughing. "Well you see, I'm an assassin. Yeah, you heard me right. Those daggers are the weapons I use so I have them with me almost all the time. I decided to come down here after my training to relax and clear my mind. A lot of help that did. He gave V a small grin.
Elye took a look up in the air while he let V mull over what he told her. He could swear that he had seen two dragons flying north above him, but they were gone before he could get a better look. Huh, I'm not sure if those were dragons or not. I never knew they existed. Well, if they even do and I'm not seeing things.
(How is that for an Easter egg?)

"Oh is that right?" She playfully punched his arm and wiped a tear from her eye, (from the intense laughing) and began almost too sarcastically "And I'm an ex-princess from a far away land, an ex-convict, and aspiring arachnologist." She began to giggle again but the pain in her side returned, leaving her cringing. She fell to one knee.

(somehow I knew you were going to do that. )
She...she thought it was a joke. He was in disbelief. After all that had happened, she couldn't believe that he was actually an assassin. He stood there staring off into the distance. What about him wasn't convincing? HE remembered his Assassin of Hyrule insignia though. He turned so that she could see it but when he turned to her she was on her knee holding her side. So much for it not hurting He got down to his knee too. "Let me take a look at it. Please."

"Forget it. Just give me a second. I'll be fine." She turned away from him. "Besides, it's not like Mr. Assassin is a part-time nurse or anything." She reached for her pouch and grabbed a needle, and a jar. "I don't need your help." Valentina attempted to open the small container.

(I'm just that good)
"I may not be a nurse but you don't seem like you're in a position where you can take care of it yourself. let me help." He took the jar from her hand and set it down. He took off his cloak and balled it up. He stuck it behind her where her head would be if she laid down. "Lay down so that I can tend to the cut easier."

(I knew that, but that doesn't answer my question)
"Elye!" She looked into his eyes with aggitation, and exhaled sharply out her nose.
