Ember, with her superior sixth sense tensed, pulling her hood up around her feathery ears. Vhanya too noticed the change in the dawn air, but she couldn’t place her finger on what.
Curse this lousy sense of mine.

She shook off the prickling feeling as best as she was able; she had other matters to deal with. She looked back to Galen.

”We leave as quickly as we can, but you should be aware that we need nearly triple the amount of people we currently have to properly man this ship,” her voice turned buttery-smooth, “I’d certainly appreciate if your discernment was turned to seeking out more souls for our crew, if you’re so intent on setting sail.“

She set her attention to the other Harpy woman, hoping to distract herself from the uncomfortable feeling crawling up her spine, setting her tail a-twitch and raising the hairs on her nape.

”I’m asking you to join me, too. Understand that you shan’t find a deal as good as the one I’ve offered you around these parts…”

Galen stiffened as the uneasy feeling smothered him like a thick impenetrable fog. His hand tightened around his knife as he slowly slipped it up into one sleeve.
"I'm not intent, I couldn't care less I just...don't like it here."
He backed up slowly towards the edge of the ship and the open water for a fast getaway.

Jintao frowned. She was a thief at heart, and he should have known. He glanced down both sides of the street as he made his way over to her. Stopping where he could still see her, he nodded his head to the side. Keep moving, but I'm coming with you. His stare only proved that he wasn't pleased.

A graceless smile crossed her pale face and she rolled her eyes before sliding down the opposite end of the slick, damp roof.
She fell to a rickety fire escape and waited, rubbing her palms over the new leather boots.

Jintao came over to her. "Stealing?" Anger filled his tone despite him keeping his voice down. "We all knew you couldn't afford these things, but stealing them? Those are good people! They might have given them to you if you asked." He glared into her eyes in way that didn't match his previous character. It was the way a pirate might look into his opponent just before starting a deadly fight.
"I should turn you in like I had said." His tone lightened a little, but his stare didn't.

"I have no qualms killing you, man." She stood and looked down from the short fire escape. "Remember that, now." The stiff boots creaked as she slipped over the guard rail, dangling in the air for a tense moment before she dropped.
Her knees gave when she hit the ground, but she stood swiftly and brushed off the dress.
"Say all that again, I heard nothing save your pleasant tone."

"Maybe my 'instinct to protect' is kicking in." He watched her while she was above, un-intimated. When she buckled on the ground, he softened.
"Fool of me, I should have known." He took a couple of steps back. It wasn't out of fear, but of past knowledge that he thought he had forgotten. His eyes fell from watching her face to her hands. "You leave, I'll turn you in. You kill me, there's two witnesses who'll confess, and that is if they don't shoot you first." His tough set of options fell from his tongue like he had said them before. Maybe he had, though if he did, it might not have been because his life was possibly on the line.

"My, you are difficult." She approached him and snatched the collar of his shirt as he tried to duck away, then jerked him forward, and back against the wall. "Don't move, don't move," she pushed the box-blade to his scuffy neck and jammed her knee into his side. He doubled over and she pushed him back again. "I will not bargain with you, Jintao. Shut your mouth. I keep you alive not because you deserve it." She kicked him again, her only real advantage the knife on his throat. "You've slowed me enough, man. Keep your sacred mouth shut or I'll cut out your tongue and tie you in the shadowed alley."

Jintao gazed into her eyes with his back tight against the wall. His side hurt from her kicks. He swallowed hard, which only made him feel the blade more. For once, he saw an advantage to having only a left hand, even if he didn't notice it at first. He locked his stare into her eyes like a strange intimation, though it was more for a distraction. Very subtly, he moved his hand upwards. When his hand was high enough, he snatched her hand and twisted it in a painful direction, causing her to drop the blade. Before the blade could hit the ground, he kicked the blade to a trash pile, where it disappeared from sight. All the while, he never took his eyes off of her's, nor did he speak.

She shifted her free hand up to his throat and bore her little weight down on his tense body.
She was all talk.
He far out matched her in strength.
But she had guts and he had a heart.
Tay released his throat and pulled away, wary of his fisted grip on her wrist.

Jintao let go of her wrist and stood where he was, watching her. Adrenaline was rushing through his body, despite his hidden attempts to calm himself. He nodded his head forward and said, "So, what's your choice? Cutting my tongue will do you no good and neither will your attempts to kill me."
