A chance encounter (Ronin X Chokuro)

[Ronin]

Upon entering the tavern, Ronin glanced over at the female whom seemed lost in something, she held some sort of alluring aura, which some how was drawing him in and he had to pry his hazel eyes from her. Cautiously he tiptoed over to the bar, his eyes roaming around it, noting a few suspicious looking characters, all the time, keeping his hands firmly gripped on his weapon. Upon reaching an empty stool with a soft sigh released it, these had been dark times for all creatures and humans alike, and even for an immortal such as himself he couldn't let his guard drop for ever a second.

He glanced once more towards the female, noticing that her eyes were on him, it seemed as if something was telling him he knew, his senses tingled as slowly raised his hand up to his dark hat, his clothing also was black, this drew a lot of unwanted attention towards him. As he lay his hat down on the bar, his sleek black hair felt the free air, it had been so long since he had actually stopped anywhere.

 

[Chokuro]

The girl sitting at the bar silently watched the bartender in front of her move about to get everyone their proper drinks. The girlâ??s long blonde locks were pulled up into a simple ponytail at the back of her head, resting at the base of her neck. She had a Shirley Temple in front of her, absently poking at the cherry that was floating atop all the ice. Her eyes stayed to the drink until she saw the man that just entered sit near her. She turned her emerald eyes to him, looking him over and soon turning back to the drink in front of her. She chewed the corner of her bottom lip, sighing softly as she did so. She had gone out to get away from the stuffiness of her house. Everything just seemed like it was closing in on her and she did not really want to stay there. The girl, Aurora was her name, she was only eighteen and typically, she worked at home, helping her parents around the house. She wanted to learn more about everything in the world, but she knew that would not come. Education was for a man, not some silly little girl. so, housewife ... was her destiny. Sadly.

 

[Ronin]

Once more turning his attention towards her he slowly bowed his head down and spoke. "Good day to you, would you like a drink?" Then he suddenly realised something, extending his hand he placed it on hers, around the glass as well. "Sorry, I should introduce myself, my name is Ronin, and you are?" He asked with a raised brow, but for extra measures, moves his right hand under his cloak, toward the weapon he held inside. Ronin's dark hazel eyes running over her figure, the first word that popped into his head about her was that she was young. And from the expression she seemed to be giving was looking for some kind of excitement. Deciding on having some kind of enjoyment with her, he decided to concentrate all his attention on her and if she bored him, she would always make a good meal, he thought to himself with a grin.

 

[Chokuro]

She jumped with the hand around hers, turning to look at the man and blinking a few times. Ronin? Aurora looked him over, getting an odd feeling from him but she let out a soft little sigh. Her eyes slipped closed, debating to talk to him or not. He definitely was attractive. She liked that about him. Pale skin, dark hair and clothes ... nice physique â?? definitely appealing to the eyes. She shook her head from her thoughts, looking over at him and giving him a soft little smile. â??Aurora.â? She informed him with a small bow of her head. â??and um ... I already have a drink, thank you.â? She stated, looking him over once more and then sipping at the drink in front of her. She took in a deep breath and letting her eyes close once more. She was not sure what the man wanted, but she figured she would give him a chance before jumping to conclusions of anything.

 

[Ronin]

Ronin decided that maybe he had sounded a bit too eager, deciding to back off a little, he shifted his hand away, curling his fingertips around his drink. "Well, how about the second drink is on me then? Aurora, that's such an exotic name, if you don't mind me saying." Roning lowered his hand from his coat, suddenly shoots it out directly behind her. Grabbing the hand of a large man, whom seemed to have been out of it for quite a while, and whom seemed to have quite a liking for this girl. "Move, she's with me.." He growled loudly, although he was careful not to expose his fangs, but his anger was genuine. For some reason even though he had just met this girl he felt a strong sense of possession over this particular girl, whom he had no idea about. As the large man let out a small grunt in pain, Ronin released with a satisfied grin. Then turned back to the girl. "You have to forgive my sex, it seems a beautiful girl sitting at the bar means they should in some fashion impress her with vulgar actions." He said, bowing his head lightly.

 

[Chokuro]

Aurora smiled warmly, giving a simple nod to the man. She was just taking a sip from her drink when she saw his arm shoot up to shoo someone away. She blinked a few times, turning to look at the man and sighed softly. At least the one beside her was good for something, right? She took another sip of her drink before she turned her head back to look at him. A simple smile traced along her lips. â??Thank you.â? She said gently and then nodded a bit to his comment, laughing lightly. â??Well, I still thank you for rescuing me.â? She admitted, truly meaning it too. She knew coming to a bar alone was not the smartest decision, but she could fend for herself more often than not. If Ronin had not been there, then the bartender would save her. She came here often enough to have him know her and he walked her home quite a bit. He was like the big brother she never had.

 

[Ronin]

Ronin gave her a smile, running his fingertips over the rim of his glass. "Your very much welcome." He said, his eyes meeting hers once more. "If it's okay I would like you to accompany just for a walk?" He asked, offering his hand towards her in one small motion. Ronin's eyes wandered over to the nearby people, the drunk had finally wandered off out side while the other people seemed to be minding their own business. Ronin's stare stopping once more on Aurora's face, her smile was very captivating and he had yet to decide exactly what he was going to do to her. He couldn't help wonder why no one had ever approached her but on the other hand he did not know whether this was her first time here or a regular.

 

[Chokuro]

The girl looked over at the male beside her, listening to his words for a while before she let out a short little laugh. "No. I do not go off into the night on walks with some stranger." She stated simply and short as that. She then turned back to the bartender in front of her, giving him a warm smile while currently ignoring the man beside her. Nothing against him. He was attractice and everything, but that did not mean he could not be some creep. Past experiences make the girl a bit more cautious. She did not want to take a walk with him. She would just stay here where she felt far safer than going anywhere with anyone, unless it was the bartender. He was typically how she got home. She came her. Hung out for a while. Either talking to some friends or whatever, and then she would go back home to her miserable life. Sigh.

 

[Ronin]

Ronin found her answer to be quite vague, although he could see that this was not going to be as easy as he first thought. Dragging her out was always an option but he did not know just how many friends she had around here. Shaking his head he simply placed his hand slowly around her slender waist. "Well, my name is Ronin and yours is Aurora, I think we are a bit closer then strangers, plus .... " He continued leaning his face closer to hers, until he was inches away. "You seem to want some thing exciting and maybe I can provide what you seek." His steel gaze going over every inch of her face as well as the rest of her body, very slowly before a small grin played on his lips. After which he released his grip on her backing away from her. He sauntered over towards the exit, stopping right next to it. Not turning he waited close to the doorway, pretending not to notice so many people staring at him.
