"Oh, the usual, bloody well," she smiled sharply, her hand slowly and painstakingly moving away from the dagger at her waist. "And what about you, darling?" Risika winced inwardly when she said 'darling' maybe she was trying a little too hard.
"So, talk to me. Tall me what you plan to do when you done with all this," she waved her hand around dramatically indicating the elegant room. "What happens to you when daddy's head rolls?"
Risika pulled an apple out of her pocket and bite into it with a luscious crunch, closing her eyes to savor the moment.
[Aww...I scared everyone away]

as rose slumped against his shoulder fast asleep, he carefully lay her down and put his jacket over her.
he stood up and walked over to the table, deciding to let go of just a small amount of his human side.
if there Risika was going to be trouble he would be prepared.
"it all depends really, i doubt very much i will be welcomed back into my own tribe... the only reason i was not outcasted for being half human was because of my father"
"i was thinking of going on to explore some of the more distant regions..."
"by the way, what you requested earlier, the right to marraige, you can have it. though i doubt your tribe members will find it easy to please a demon"
he chuckled a little to himself as he spoke. ((haha, so it would seem >.<))

Risika smiled, a true smile this time, "Really? You'd be surprised a how pleasing my people can be..." she laughed lightly a happy sound. "So you'll be shunned? You could consider living beside my people, another mutt is really nothing new to us, not even a demon mutt. Especially if you and..." she eyed Rose leaving the statement hanging. "Well, anyways, you might be too trusting for my people, but you'd get used to it, or they to you," Risika smiled slightly and mentally added a tally to her side of the scoreboard in her head.

cozork was suprised how much those few words had really pleased Risika, he sensed that this was the first time she was truly happy whilst being in his presence.
he looked back at Rose to see her happily sleeping.
feeling a little warmer inside he tuned back to Risika
"you know were not all that different you and i, and had i been as prim and proper as i used to be, then we would be even more alike"
the thought was a little strange but he knew it to be true, but 50 years ago he was very similar to Risika.
"it seems like there is still hope for our friendship yet"

Risika shook her head slightly, eyes sparkling with mirth, "I hadn't realized you had given up on me so fast. Is not friendship supposed to last through the thick and thin, the good and the bad?" Risika sighed heavily thinking about the duties that had befallen to her upon her brother's death, "You know we don't all choose the mantles we wear and I have yet to have come to regret the decisions I make for my people. Maybe someday I will be like you, but I doubt I will have the opportunity to become as such," she sad wistfully and smiled sadly.

"i never said our friendship had failed"
he duly noted, he knew that it came close to it when she nearly fought with Red but he would not give up on any friendship easily. maybe she was right about him being too trusting and kind. it had nearly been the death of him a few times. but then at the same time, he was still here and he'd had many adventures that otherwise he would not.
"maybe you should open up a little more sometime, it may be a lot less damaging than you'd think... it might even make life easier. who knows!"

"To be honest, I don't think I would enjoy an 'easy life'. I live for the challenge...for without that what is there truly left in life?" Risika asked shrugging. "Easy is for the weak who live to be ruled...not for those live by their own rules." Risika smiled slightly and relaxed a little, really Cozork wasn't too bad when he wasn't trying to act superior and keep the peace.

"you have an interesting outlook on life, but making your life easier is not the same as taking it easy"
"i still have challenges to overcome, and my life has been quite interesting, what i meant was that accepting a little help from friends from time to time might not be such a bad idea"
cozork smiled a little. it seemed he was finally getting the oppertunity to get to know Risika a little
"so tell me a little more about yourself"

Risika frowned slightly, decidedly shrugging before speaking, "My clan is a mix of every sort of being you can think of and we are lead by the Assassins Guild, of which I am a part of. My father is our current leader and my brother was supposed to follow in his footsteps, but he is no longer. You must understand my brother, was much like you very...soft...not necessarily weak...but tender hearted, he saw the good in everyone. It was his doom. My family does not breed often or well, our particular guild is the descendants of several demons and sorcerers, as such I am the only remaining offspring of my father and now his heir. It was not a responsibility I wanted...My brother was much more the diplomat, I expected to be an adviser, an protector...How wrong I was..." Risika trails off and looks to the floor to mask her glistening eyes.
Wiping her eyes quickly she straightens up to look boldly at Cozork, "And now you know the truth" she say firmly almost challenging him to doubt her ability.

"an interesting story"
it did explain a lot about her, and he believed her.
"i see why you think i am too trusting now"
"i am sorry for your loss, he sounded like a good soul"
it did make cozork think. he knew that his trust and kindness towards others had almost been the death of him on more than a few occasions, and if it were not for his training with the shadows and his demonic strength he would certainly have died.
but then he had always thought the benefits always outweighed the risks when it came to trusting strangers.

Risika frowned slightly at first thinking he was mocking her, then realizing he was sincere,"Yes...well...I don't know if any us are truly good or bad. He was by no means perfect, my brother, yet...there was something special about him, a calming, happy quality. He could make anyone smile...even me. I am much more like our father, I live my life in the shadows...I know nothing else. That will have to change...I will miss it."
Risika sighed and ran her hand through her long silver hair looking tired, " I really must return and tell my clan the news. They will be pleased, although my father not so much. He is looking for his pound of flesh and pint of blood in retribution for his lost son. To be fair I do not blame him, but if we can receive our demands the shedding of blood and loss of more life would be pointless."
Risika smiled at Cozork slightly, "If you will not consider be wary for yourself at least do it for others..." she says looking pointedly at the sleeping Rose, "Regrets are terrible to live with."
Risika then swept out of the room, humming a jaunty tune.
[I have to go. Was fun!]

cozork wondered at her last statement, perhaps he had been too care free around those that he didn't know, normally his life being in danger meant an interesting day. he really had no fear of death. but now he had something... someone... to stay alive for.
he would remember Risika's words for a while he though.
"Thankyou" he called after her.
"i bid you luck with the negotiations, hopefully i will see you again soon"
he smiled a little, he was slightly fond of Risika in a strange way. ((okie dokie, yes it was >.< see ya soon chuck))

Red came in after waking up in the forest neaby. it seemed when nobody was looking her imps had carried her out! below her belly instead of her normal legs she had the body of a wolf. it was like a centaur, but the wolf version. she had the imps riding on her back and she had an obviously ticked face.

cozork, whom was now sat near the sleeping Rose.
watched as Red entered, he saw the look on her face.
"whats the matter?"
he then remembered the stone she had given him last night to calm him, he doubted he would be needing it again any time soon. he figured he should return it

"ive had the worst morning since i can't sleep- i had got in my hair, couldn't make breakfast, and when i went to drink water i accedantaly drank the 'taur potion i was going to use when vixxie came. ive been getting strange looks over these all day!" Red vented, and pointed at her new appendages. she dashed over to the food table, took a whole chicken, and wolfed it down only leaving a pile of bones in a matter of seconds. she was too tired to even hunt.
