The clinking and clanking of the blacksmiths hammer can be heard working away in the backroom of this infamous weapon shop. Rius Amour is that blacksmith hammering away on a new weapon, one that Blank had spent a hefty lump sum of gold for the overall construction of such a weapon. An unbreakable double-edged short sword that is serrated on one side, this weapon had been in the works for several months now, being reluctant to getting worked on whenever Rius had found time. Una Amour - So, what kind of name is �Blank� anyway�? Blank sits in a wooden chair over in the waiting room up in the front of the shop. Staring at Una in silence, he doesn�t respond to her question. Instead, he remains seated and he just continues to stare at her. Looking like she never asked a question, the expression on his face slowly moulds from blank to slightly humored before he looks away from her and down at the letters that he�s saved up for times like this, where he could avert his attention away from mindless chit-chatter to read recent news concerning his fellow long lost abandoned gang members. Una Amour - Okay�? Fine, don�t answer me� �Doing as Una commands, Blank starts reading his letters� �I miss you�I want to come home� �It�s been too long since our sire had left us behind� �All I want is to have the gang back together again� �There�s only so much I can do around here�this totally sucks� �Temira and I are going mad from boredom and working REAL jobs� �REAL JOBS Blank!!! I�m not cut out for this!!! �Whenever I try to waitress I�m always getting my ass grabbed and slapped� �This one guy actually grabbed one of my breasts the other day�I�m so ashamed� �Lucky he tipped me w/a lot of gold for his meal or he would have been my next� �Temira says hi, by the way� we love and miss you�my beloved Blank� Blank looks up from the sweet smelling letter from Azuna, her perfume is unmistakable. Sighing softly underneath his breath, Blank takes a moment to daydream about the day he can see Azuna again while opening the second letter while the faces of Azuna and Temira are still fresh in the back of his eyes. Her pretty blonde hair, Azuna was younger...in her teen years when she was turned by their sire�Vareth Morrow. Una Amour - Its not nice to ignore people when they have a question for you, Sugar. It�s not very polite at all. I think you should apologize. The blacksmiths hammer still doing its job on the short sword that he requested continues to bang and clang off in the back room, yet it does not break his train of thought. Those beautiful eyes and that cheerful attitude� Oh. How he missed her so. He swears that he can still hear her cute giggle, he always did like the way she laughed. And Temira�the knock out pink haired beautiful companion of hers adds to his cold heart to match, same damn girl but with just a different color of hair. Una thinks of what she just said to a customer and she speaks out again. Una Amour - Look man, I didn�t mean to offend you� Blank - Is my short sword complete yet�? �Una pauses than goes to check. Blank opens another letter� �Life is fine but it could be much better�well, for me� ��Spades� got locked up�the idiot picked a fight with a guard in Keno� �Rayisale is here with me in Slavista� �Rumor has it�Vain is recruiting for the Nemesis Clan� �We should wait until Vareth comes to us about it� �Last thing we want to do is to be blessed with Vain�s presence, uninvited� �Azuna and Temira are working part time jobs in Keno, waiting on food� �At least they aren�t getting into any trouble, however I�m worried about them� �Temira has a temper and there�s only so much Azuna will withstand as well� �More importantly, how are you doing? �I haven�t heard from you since Vareth departed and the gang fell apart� �Do not be afraid to contact me, old friend� �You know how to do so� Staring down at the letter from the very man that added organization to the gang of Morrow. Darkendal was a great leader figure�one could believe that he was the one that made the shots for Vareth to call. The word of reason so to speak, since they all knew that it didn�t take much to get under Vareth�s skin, sometimes it took nothing at all to provoke their sire and dark master. The banging of the blacksmiths hammer and the pretty woman at the desk coming back into his perspective grabs his attention once more. Una Amour - Your short sword should be complete soon� Blank - Excellent� Una Amour - So, you from around here�Sugar? �Staring at Una, Blank goes silent again avoiding her questions� Una Amour - You can tell me�its okay, I won�t bite. Blank smirks but intentionally keeps his mouth shut while doing so, trying with all he can to avoid showing her his teeth before this transaction is complete. Not wishing to lose all of the gold that he had just sunk into this weapon, only for Una and Rius to make an attempt to use it on him once figuring out that he�s a vampire. Una examines Blank�s body, staring at the tattoo on his chest�wondering what it stands for. �Blank notices where she�s staring and he pulls his hooded shirt shut� Una Amour - Nice Tattoo�where did you get it? �No response once again, Blank just stares emptily at her� Una Amour - Alright�you don�t like to talk? That�s fine. �3 hours later� Una narrows her eyes at Blank, having an idea that he�s trying to hide something from her but she still can�t put her finger on what exactly it could possibly be. Her mind is left in a blunder, a world of wonder, lost in her own contemplations for a few more moments and right before she works up the courage to ask yet another personal question, the banging of the blacksmiths hammer comes to a stop and the sound of hot steel blending with cold water can be heard. The song of steam stinging, softly singing in his ears. Una Amour - Well�it appears that your weapon is finished. Una lets her upper body relax down upon the desk that she�s working at to continue with her paper work for the creation of such a weapon. Almost like a waiver saying that this transaction was completed so on and so fourth. Blank stares at Una�s cleavage for a moment than purposely looks away before she averts her eyes to him once more�looking up from her writing, she smirks and looks back down. She continues to fill out the paper work and Rius Amour comes to the open doorway with the double-edged short sword that has a serrated side to it. Blank stands, wanting to smile. Rius Amour - Here you go, just as you wanted it�thank you for your business, Mon Ami. Come back anytime. Blank - thank you� Taking the short sword and immediately exiting the weapon shop, he leaves Una and Rius standing there at the desk�looking at each other, both of them having suspicions about such a strange drifter. Yet, the gold adds up and there�s plenty of extra money that wasn�t needed for this transaction. Rius goes for the door, exiting the weapon shop in an attempt to stop him so he could give him back the extra gold but he�s nowhere to be seen. Nowhere in sight almost as if he had jut vanished into the night. | ||
