Rumors had begun to spread in the central city of a band of sentient mutants holing up somewhere in the forest. Fearful of an attack, but unwilling to let on this fear to their residents, the faction leaders collaberated a few people to go... investigate. The group was to meet at the edge of the forest, and track down the so-called mutants and determine the best course of action to protect the Nutori faction... ((Open roleplay!))

Cyrus had passed on visiting Shaddy's... Infact, he had grown quite used to carrying Reithmauw around unsheathed. Ofcourse, this caused a bit of distress among those he passed in his travels, but that was just an amusement to him. Upon arriving at the forest's edge, he thrust the blade into the ground and leaned against a sizeable tree... His eyes closed, and he allowed his mind to wander until the others decided to show up.
His thoughts repeatedly wandered to tomes... Books. Literature. Shopkeepers... There was no sense in stopping his thoughts, he knew. There never was. If a thought creeps into a person's head, therew as a reason for it. There was never a point in hiding the truth from yourself.
Cyrus began to whistle while waiting for the others to arrive, his eyes remaining closed and his right hand resting protectively on the butt-end of Reithmauw's hilt.

Tensa heard the rumors about sentient mutants, that was a rather touchy subject to her, one that she found most attractive, not to mention she needed a job. She waited for nightfall for the evening, when the sun begun to lose strength and set down and left for the location. The hooded figure could barely be seen, sneaking away towards the marked location, out of sight from most people.
Being a rather cautious person, she slowed her pace down upon reaching the forest, going slowly to avoid being detected by anyone, or anything. She moved slowly towards the marked location, sneaking quietly towards the treeline, until she could see the locaiton, and a man leaned against a tree. She halted her pace and moved into the trees, sneaking towards him through the bushes, trees, and other plantlife. She stopped at around 10 meters away from him, and just observed the man, staying low to hopefully avoid detection.

Cyrus had been quite deep in his thoughts... A bit 'too' deep for his liking, when a sound suddenly brought him out of it. The individual with snow white hair, grasped tightly onto his katana now, lifting it into the air and beginning to make circles by spinning it between his index and pointer fingers. He kenw something was out there... but not what. Externally, he seemed perfectly calm. But inside, he was prepared to cut through whatever he had to.

Tensa squinted her eyes at Cyrus, watching him spin his blade around, she didnt feel specially confident about him, so she decided to keep her distance, atleast until she was forced to approach by the appearance of the guide or whatever. She carefully sat on the ground, avoiding make any other sounds, and kept watching him closely.

Once again, Cyrus felt strangely vulnerable... He shrugged, stabbing Reithmauw back into the ground as he muttered, quite audibly enough for someone with enhanced hearing to catch, "Again with this crap... Hired for a job, so-called 'guide' nowhere to be seen..." Shaking his head, he allowed himself to return to his pointless whistling.

Tensa twitches her ears under her hood, catching onto his comment, it was truly an annoying situation, for both of them. She was perhaps more used to it than him, given she was always hiding and observing people, although, waiting for a guide while having to watch out for a strange man was something that really didnt please her at all. She crossed her arms, keeping her dagger in her right hand, ready to draw it out should something happen, she didnt move her eyes away from the man a single moment, she kept him under her watch at all times.

Finally, Cyrus pushed himself off from the tree he had chosen to lean against. With above average finessem he flourished the blade in his right hand, sinking into a general combat stance. His left leg was forward, with himself being bent back on his right. This would allow him to either retreat, or advance in an effective manner when coupled with his above average agility (For a human.) It had alot of openings... Openings that could spell doom for him if his opponent noticed it. Defense was not his strong suit... Was all about dodging, and striking in such a manner that the battle would be over in one or two blows.
Cyrus began to run through a series of steps he had given himself. Working on the use of the blade, as if it were an extension of his arm. Up until his discovery of Reithmauw, he had been stuck with using a terribly worn CQC knife he had discovered in a wrecked caravan in the canyons... Such a length enhancement made it somewhat precarious for him, but it still looked very natural in his grasp...
His reasoning behind these movements was simple. A warmup, and a training session in one. If they were going to be going against a group of possibly hostile mutants, he would need to be prepared. Not even counting what lay in wait within the forest, given it's terrible reputation for the death and loss of those who traveled into it...

Tensa nearly drawed her dagger, startled when he suddenly pushed himself off the tree, but he didnt seem to be attacking, he didnt come towards her, he instead, remained there and started some sort of training, using his blade. She watched, slightly confused, for some time, he seemed to not be aggressive atleast, maybe just careful. She observed the surroundings, it being a forest was an advantage for her.
She decided to get closer, very slowly creeping towards him, keeping herself low and using the lightness and finnese of her feline characteristics to avoid making sounds. She reached a tree alot closer to him and held for some moments, then, graciously climbed it in a second, almost floating to one of the higher branches. She hid herself in the foliage and continued wathcing him, hoping she hadnt been seen.

Cyrus merely continued his steps. The weapon was very comfortable in his grip, though he had to grow used to the curved property of the eastern style blade. Cyrus continued his steps with flowing precision, seeming to be no more than an automaton running through a well practiced routine. Still, he paid no heed to the mutant above him... Though he was most certain that he was being watched.

As time wore on, it seemed like the guide would never show up. That is until Cyrus took a step forward. "HEY! Watch it!" A tinny high pitch voice called from below. "Down here brat!" What appeared to be an ordinary field mouse stood massaging its tail. Ordinary aside from the navy blue cape, top hat, and boots. It stood on two legs and shook a fist at Cyrus. A needle was shoved into a length of thread about its waist, like a sword in a belt. He drew this and flourished it in what would be a threatening display...if he hadnt been two inches tall at most. "Mistreatin' an official o' the forest! How dare you! And don' gimmi no heresay 'bout not seein' me down 'ere!" Okay... apparently the mouse-in-boots was... scottish?

Tensa twitched her ears under her hood, listening to the conversation that was going on below her, it was...bizarre to say the least, even to her. She immideately felt an almost incontrolable urge to chase the creature down, it was extremely difficult to avoid jumping down the tree and pouncing at the mouse. She gritted her teeth and kept her eyes focused on the mouse, trying to pay attention to the rest of the conversation. She did wish the mouse would go away soon, for she didnt know how long she could resist her urge.

Cyrus loosed a cry of surprise, waving his arms in windmill style to keep himself from falling onto the mouse. Instead, his balance was reversed... And he fell flat on his back. The wind was knocked from his lungs, and his hair conveniently fell voer his eyes to hide the immense embarrasment that came of the terrible act. "My... Apologies... Sir..." He spoke quietly, trying to keep his voice as calm as possible... Even though he was no faced with complete and utter hilarity.

"Well thats more like it" sniffed the arrogant mouse. "now then, dont tell me that your the only one showing up? A baffoon is hardly a good mass for assaulting a group of evil mutants!"

Tensa squinted her eyes at the two beings before her, twitching her ears at the mouse's question, apparently that was the person who they were supposed to be waiting for. She sighed, that was going to be hard, and then proceeded to jump down from the tree. She fell quite soundlessly, landing on her feet and bending her knees slightly. She wore heavy robes, a hood, mask, and goggles, making pretty much no part of her body visible. She took a few steps towards the two, careful, slow steps, of someone who doesnt entirely trust other people. She stopped before them, staring at them behind her dark goggles. "No, I have come aswell." She said in a serious, young female voice.

Cyrus finally got to his feet, gripping Reithmauw tightly as he returned it to it's usual spot resting upon his shoulder. He looked down at the mouse, frowning visibly at the lack of an imposing guide... This thing would likely get eaten alive in the forest if the rumors held true. His stance tensed as Tensa dropped from the trees... He had thought that his feeling of being watched was no more than that: A feeling. But it turned out to be true as she appeared. Luckily enough, she was not hostile if she were giving answer to the small mouse's query on her presence. Now that they 'all' were there... He had a question to pose.
"First, I didn't think we were laying siege... That was a last ditch option, wasn't it?" He paused, looking down on the mouse with an almost judgemental air. "And second, about how far in to this overgrown mess is this place we're looking for?"
