Sentou got a sad look on his face. "No...not anymore..." he said turning away from her. "But....It's okay. I'm alright. He told me to do the best that I can with my life and a new home. So that's what I'm going to do." he said his voice sounding full of hope.

Tristessa looked away. "...I'm sorry. I know how it feels." she said, suddenly hugging him. She pulled away quickly, however, not knowing why she did such a thing. "Sorry...." she muttered softly.

He looked at her surprised but he then smiled. "It's okay. I'm very huggable." he said jokingly. He continued down into the streets of the town. People began to mutter and stare at them as they went. Sentou didn't seem alarmed.

Tristessa glared slightly. "What are they STARING at?" she grumbled, following him.

"I don't know....this happens to me a lot though..." Sentou said looking around. Suddenly a rock was thrown at Sentou's head. He reached up and rubbed his head turning around to look at the young boy that threw it. "GET OUT OF HERE YOU MONSTER! MY DADDY WANTS TO SHOOT YOU!!!" the little boy shouted. A rather distressed mother ran over and grabbed her son. "I'm so sorry, sir. Please don't kill us..." she suddenly started to beg. Sentou was ultimatly confused now. "Eh? Why would I do that?" he asked beffuddled like mad. He didn't know it, but people were freaking out about his outfit. Sentou was dressed in a dark navy blue outfit. It was the only clothes he had and he never got a chance to change them. What he didn't realize was that he was wearing the uniform of a general of an army that was brutal and slaughtered many in a war that was not too long ago in the area.

Tristessa glared, steppig in front of Sentou and putting herself into a fighting stance. "Him kill YOU? I'M more liable to kill you than him, and I just might think about it too if you don't curb your child's behavior. Children shouldn't know hate, and you should feel ashamed that you've let your child learn it so early." she growled. "And as for my friend over here, he wouldn't intentionally harm anyone." she said. "Now if you wanna throw rocks...we can throw rocks." she said, lifting her staff, making any rocks within a few feet of her float off the ground, ready to launch themselves at any person who dared to displease her. "OR...you can let us get what we need and leave." she finished as the rocks fell back to the ground.

The woman didn't say anything, she just looked terrified. The child began to cry loudly and the villagers weren't reacting well. Many were coming out of their houses. There was the sound of a gun clicking. "Get out of our town." an elderly man said aiming it at Tristessa. "Triss....let's go." Sentou said his head bowed a little as if he was sad.

Tristessa just grinned as the gun was cocked. "No. They brought this upon themselves." she growled. "Old man, put that gun down. You haven't the slightest idea what you're getting yourself into, and I would hate to have to end your life before natural causes." she mocked, smirking.

"Triss....please.....we're the outsiders....I don't mind...." Sentou begged his face still bowed.

Tristessa threw up her hands, sending a wall of rocks and dirt up to shield her. When it subsided, she was behind the old man with a knife to his throat. "You just wouldn't listen, wouldn't you old man?" she jeered. "Put the gun DOWN."

"TRISS STOP NOW!" Sentou shouted. The old man paniced and tried to pull away from Triss and swing the gun around to shoot Triss.

Triss held on to the man, shaking her head. "Now now, cut that out." she growled. "DROP IT."
Cassandra heard the commotion and got out of hiding, running to the scene in shock.

"Don't, Triss!" Sentou said grabbing Triss's hand with the knife in it. His hand slipped though and the knife suddenly sliced through his arm. Sentou pulled back and gripped his arm hiding it from view. "Just stop and leave....we don't need blood shed..." he said begging Triss again. There was so much pain in his eyes.

Tristessa glared slightly, releasing the man. "FINE." she grumbled. "Let's go then." she growled, shoving the man away from her and putting the knife away.

Sentou followed behind Triss in silence. The crowd of people shot them bad looks as they left. Sentou still clutch his arm where the knife had got him. Once they were out of the town he loosened up a bit more. "I'm sorry, I should have warned you. People don't usually like me for some reason...." Sentou said smiling sadly.

Cassandra followed them. "What was that about?"
Tristessa sighed. "Nope, not your fault. My fault." she muttered softly. "Are you okay?"

"Not much. They were frightened of us and a little boy started to threaten us so Triss got mad and pulled a knife on an old guy that was trying to protect the kid that threw a rock at me...." Sentou explained smiling a little at it all. "I'm fine. It was just a scratch." he said though he still kept his hand on the cut area.

Tristessa raised an eyebrow. "....Okay...." she said, shrugging. Cassandra was silent for a moment before speaking again. "...Sentou, you're very different, aren't you? Do you even bleed?" she asked finally. "...I saw Triss...there was no blood on her knife."

Sentou seemed to flinch as if he was taking a blow. "Bleed!? Of course I bleed! I mean I'm a living thing, of course I bleed. Yep, I bleed a lot sometimes. That dumb old blood has to hurt sometimes too. In fact my blood hurts right now." Sentou said picking up his pace back up the hill. "Well! Let's go! We have to find the person with the book!" he said eagerly.

Cassandra raised an eyebrow. She walked next to him while Tristessa lingered behind slightly. Cassandra sighed. "For the record, you suck at lying. And you don't have to do it." she said softly.
