Shayla looked over her shop and smiled as she turned the sign letting people know that it was opened. The pass few days had been quiet so she had too much bake goods and meat pies. Sighing she pulled out the boxes to pack up the pastries maybe someone will come by today. |

Ronan wondered thru the door holding it back to avoid clanking against his Axes, Smelling a lone human he tilted his head "brave, alone in this city is dangerous for anyone, let alone you. I think (chukles)" |

For a moment Shayla thought she was about to be robbed but something was different. Calming down her heart that was beating out of her chest Shayla put the box down. “Why don’t you tell me why it is dangerous for me are you going to hurt me? If you are may I suggest you have some of these meat pie?” It was something she had learned in New York if you’re going to be robbed offer food it may change there mind. |

((sorry asuming furniture)) Ronan eased forward, smileing, interesting tactic. Does this mean the meat pie is incredibly excellent, or noxious enough to finnish me off? Well I don't care right now I'm to fammished to care if it will kill me, he poked. Starvation is what a wolf gets when pretending to be civilised for one day. |

((LOL It’s Okay Think Coffee house you’ll be fine.)) Shayla came around the counter with the fresh warm meat pies on a plate and placed them on the table with a overstuffed chair beside it. “Please be seated sir while I get you some orange juice to start with. If you would like some tea or coffee please let me know.” Shayla made sure she walked calmly back to the counter and poured the man a large glass of juice. Walking it back to the table she placed it beside the plate then sat in a chair beside him. “May I know your name? I don’t like being rude to guest.” She gave the man a gentle smile. |

Shayla let out an breath as the tension left her body. “Morris, Shayla Morris, but please call me Shayla.” She leaned on the long table that run down the center of the room. I was at the Lupanar the night that Mikas first came to Ulfric.” She was unable to finish as her legs started to shake and Shayla quickly sat down in a chair across from Roman. “I’m sorry I thought you were going to rob me or hurt me. Now that I know your not a foe my guard is coming down.” Shayla took another calming breath then looked at Ronan. “You must have a difficult job here with this perpetual night.” She asked him. |

Quite, yes actualy, he said slightly surprised surprised. it would be much simpler if there werent such high diversity, in this city. but I... we manage right? But your job seems more interesting considering, your human, and all the mutants sliding thru your door must keep your nerves raked 24/7! what I'm curious about is; how have you stayed alive? or do you know? |

Shayla stopped and thought about it for a moment. “I honestly can’t tell you. I surely acted in ways that I should have been dead when I first came here.” She got up and made herself a cup of tea. “A doctor would have said I was acting the way I was because I was grieving my father’s death and that maybe true.” She came back and sat down is her chair. “I believe it was my father spirit that got me to the Lupanar after I was tortured. If the Ulfric hadn’t found me I would have died then.” Shayla’s voice was quiet. “Him and the Lupia did a lot for me that night so now I try to be careful so that it won’t happen again but sometimes...” She stopped the feelings of what happen still had an affect on her. Shayla looked at Ronan and smiled. “The Ulfric and his Lupia are lucky to have you at there side.” |

Ronan settled in his seat. Not wanting to tug at painful details. "you would be amaized how little I have done actualy" he paused, "they can handle themselves quite well, of which I'm sure by now you are aware" I've found them very unpredictable. How well do you know them? |

Shayla thought for a moment then spoke. “I’ve stayed at there home for a few days to heal.” Shayla took in a breath then let it out. “I was kidnaped and tortured by order of the cities master vampire at the end of it I somehow made it to the Lupanar. I would have been dead if they hadn’t found me.” She voice was soft. |

So you know of thier unusual dimeanor. I have had to observe before acting quite a bit. the Ulfric is unusual. I see he is trying to bring a sort of logic to the Lupenar. I can see how this is the bst way for a pack to survive. Was that the vampire master in this city, or did you escape from another??? |

Shayla looked at him for a moment he should know. “This city Ronan this city.” She told him. “I’m ashamed to admit what I did but the person who she was angry with said he would protect me. In the end he broke his word to me and left me to face her alone. She handed me over to a undead zombie who tortured me. He enjoyed every moment of it. I don’t know how I escaped.” The room had become very cold and she wrapped her arms around her. “I would have died.” |

"I was afraid you were going to say that"... he paused attempting to swollow his opinion. wandered over to one of the couches halfed a throw and wafted if onto her from behind, slowly leaned down "did you get any names?" |

Shayla felt Ronan put one of the throws around her then asked if she knew any of the names. She nodded as goose bumps broke out afresh on her skin. She could never forget his face of the feel of his bones dully cutting through her skin. She didn’t realize that she was shaking and sweating when she spoke. “Saffron, his name is Saffron.” Shayla voice was just above a whisper as if saying his name would bring him right there. “I told the Ulfric he knows too.” |

Shayla chuckled slightly. "Saffron was mister rotting meat and I learned that lession in trust. Belive me I've learned." She thought for a moment. "Ronan what do you know about fighting?" |

Good Ronan exclaimed, fear can make you learn at least deffence quikly. he turned to his pack resting against a chair and picked thru it with a wondering eye. Finaly choosing a rather wide sheath 13 inches wide 4-1/2 feet long he spun around quikly and, stopping directly infront of her "this is a kukry, an ancient weapon that has been used by the "barbarian" tribes that chatterered rome's nearly complete control over earope. it's renouned for removing whole limbs, and sometimes halfing enemys, even those with heavy armore, it has an upgrade of injection in the handle, running thru blood groves in the blade, put a vile in it and hilt. holy water, silver nitrate, UV luma gel. tears. you name it. also he removed chainmale gauntlets and shackels with fine wire patterns on them causing more of a jewelry effect than armor, next comes your reflexes. "remember with the locals, there is no such thing as overkill." turning the swrod handle her direction he said "pull" |

There was a gleam in Ronan’s eye when Shayla told him that she want to learn to fight. He turned to his pack and started going through it. Then suddenly Ronan turned back around holding the kukry. The history and function had her full attention as it sounded, to her, that it would kill anything in the right hands. Her thought must haven been on her face as Ronan told her there no such thing as overkill in this case. He turned the sword handle toward her and said “Pull.” Shayla grasped the handle and did as he said. The sword did not feel as heavy as she thought it would. “I understand the need to put holy water and UV gel but why silver nitrate? I wouldn’t want to harm a lycan, vampire yes, but not a were.” |

"merely keeping your options open. Rogues abound here, you need everything you can get. As the sword slid out of it's sheath is revealed a bloodgroved blade. "little effort goes a long way" he said. what ever you know about dancing you will find paralels survival. Ronan then backed away and turned avertical figure eight, motioning with his hands to show the sword trailing. no matter how light it or you may be. when aposing another your leverage is of lead, when deffending or retreating you are a feather and the sword must pull you. he re-motioned. "your turn" -------- |

Shayla watched and listen to what he said as he moved around the shop floor. It did look as if he was doing some kind of dance. Ronan despite his size moved as graceful as any of the ballet dancers for the Met. “Your turn” Ronan said. Shayla tried to copy what she saw Ronan do but some of her moves felt clunky and the sword didn’t move as smoothly as she thought it should have. As she finished Shayla’s wrist begain to quiver and a bead of sweat rolled in to her eye. Turning to Ronan she waited to hear what she did wrong and how to correct it. |

Ronan dropped a controled smile, pinching the blade tip again, he lowered the tip, lifting the handle above her head a few inches, -La Guarde de Falcone- "The guard of the hawk" the blade will now be naturaly lighter. lift on to your toes, begin your turn with both feet as soon as you begin to move, lift one foot and spin on your toes. the blade will be slightly lifted by air. make as much speed as possible, and swing all the momentum into the end of the blade. " it will come in time" |

Ronan grasped the sword without pulling, "because of your light weight, you'll soon be more dangerous with a sword than me- speed-momentum" he tuned the motions and handed the sword back. just keep repeating the motions it's the only way to gain experience. I can show you all I want, but the fastest way for you to learn will be to train your body to move with the weapon smoothly. it's aukward at first, I know. |

Shayla nodded as Ronan explained what she needed to do. She began to to the exercise again when a thought came to her mind. “Ronan is there something I can carry in my purse? You know in case I can’t carry the sword where I’m going.” |

Shayla stopped for a moment. “It was Tempest that gave me to Saffron as if she owned me body and soul. I don’t want that to ever happen again.” She looked at Ronan with fire in her eyes. “I want one of those daggers Ronan please. Something that will hurt vampires and weres. I swear I will not bring it to the Lupanar but I don’t trust that woman. She said she would leave me alone but she’s master of the city can I really trust her word?” |

"Master of the city" he said amused in that case I understand your anxious feelings. He noded, pulling a stainless stiletto with a silver handle guard. "It has the same injection system in the handle" "if you need refills... you know where to find me. "And is you have to use it press the red button, the ruby that is" "it extends the blade from 12 to 17 inches usualy surprising you enemy enough to get the jump on them" "take all this, considering your predicament, you never know when you'll need these." He also prodused black plate armor. re-assembling it for female size, weight, and shape before setting it on the pile. "you don't have to wear it all the time but it's good to have it hidden somwhere, should you need it. like I said if you need anything else, you know where I can be found and I'm sure anyone else in the pack will try to help as well. |

Shayla looked at everything that he had produced. She took the stiletto and put up her hair with it hopping that she could hid it in plan sight. Her hair stayed in placed and it was easy for Shayla to quickly get to it. “Ronan these are perfect how much do I owe you?” |

"I know you will" Ronan said trying to cover the fact he had been caught off guard, And dropped his hands onto her back, wilting over her, he thought; this situation makes no sense. Time will tell. |
