They all came to a quiet stop a few feet from the door. Lorim ducked behind the blonde-haired boy. "Bren, do you know who they are?" The wildmage shook his head. "No." he said simply, putting some noticable effort in to keeping his voice steady. Lorim was 13, but she acted much younger, especially when she was scared. Jorn puffed out his chest, and reached for the doorknob, twisting the lock and swinging the door open quietly. They groups huddle somewhat behind the door, somewhat in the doorway. Kat's eyes grew wide, immediately recognizing them.

Scales stepped forward as Wolf stood back a bit, letting the much shorter child come forward. "Hello." He said bluntly and looked at the others, Vix was stifling a laugh. She walked forward a bit, though, still behind scales. She did a slight bow. "I am Vix." She said and gestured to Wolf, "That's Wolf. And the owl up there is Pepper, he's a shifter just so you know." She then looked at Raven, "That's Raven.and..." She trailed off. Scales nodded as each of the Dragon's Bane members were introduced. "And I am Scales." He said with a quick bow. "We are the Dragon's Bane."

None of the Crickets responded at first, only stared. The two boys sneered silently at the strangers, Jorn looking down from his height with dark eyes and distaste. Lorim, nervous as her natural state was, glared silently as well (safely behind Bren). It was only Kyte and Kat who seemed to show any real reaction; Kyte was angry, Kat was in disbelief. Finally, Jorn spoke up, being the oldest and tallest of the group. "What do you want here?" he asked, his voice edged with hostility. He was shifting his piercing, hawk-like glare towards Vix, dangerously. "What are you laughing at, girl?" Kyte noticed with amusement that he stood at least 8 inches above her. Then again, he stood taller than most people. "You are intruders here, and present for good reason. and besides," he bared his teeth a little in the corner. "It's not polite."

Vix's tail twitched, she snorted then hastily made it look like a sneeze. "There's no need to be rude, I wasn't laughing at you, but rather, at Scales there." She said ears twitching slightly. Scales chuckled. "Yes. Anyway, we came because we know you now know about us, and that, would not be good for us if you were enemies of the Dragon's Bane. So, we have come to see if we can be friends, not, foes." He said, his eye twitched, these rags are starting to itch, he thought wryly.

Kyte took a small step forward. "Well, I'm afriad that we're not the ones to talk to about that. Our Head would ahve to deide, and only then when eveyone else gets home." Kat spared a glance at the darkening sky. "Which shouldn't be long," she added quietly.

Darc and Rei smiled sheepishly at each other, feeling out of place. They were only passing through, but they wanted to become more aquainted with people... And not to mention... They were L-O-S-T. But Darc being the more stubborn typical guy type didn't want to admit it and no matter how hard Rei tried, he would only respond with a quick eye roll and a mumbled "we're NOT lost," she finally gave up about the third time they had seen that building. She was grateful for him accepting her as a "partner-in-crime" but she couldn't stand it when he went all macho on her. Finally braving up, she stepped into the conversation, feeling like she wasn't wanted. "Hi, my name's Rei," she introduced and turned to Darc who was standing off to the side. She rolled her colorfully startling eyes at him and pointed "And this is Darc."

Vix turned around, her ears pricked, "what do you want." She said, more of a statement than a question. Pepper focused an amber eye on the two then, satisfied looked back at the Crickets. "Maybe this wasn't a good idea Scales." Raven whispered, Scales just shrugged. "Oh well."

Two young boys walked into the now sleepy town, hungry. There were still stalls set up, but no people around except the stall keepers.The more mature looking one, Kurai, skimmed through the shops, looking for a fruit vender.When he found one, his twin brother, Sion, smiled and began conversing with stall keeper,"Good evening, sir.I would like to purchase a sack of fruit please." Kurai snuck around the stall, and unsheathed his lethal blade.He struck upward, through the stall keeper's chest, protruding so far out of the front of the keeper, it almost touched Sion's nose.The keeper gurgled and hunched over.

While Kurai slipped his blade through the man's ribs, another pair of Crickets rounded the corner. One, a boy about as young as the Dragon's Bane leader, stared in shock as the man fell. His thick brown hair fell in his eyes in shaggy tangles, and his pale blue eyes were wide and frightened. The other was a girl a year younger than Kyte, almost to the day. She brushed her mousy brown hair back behind her ears, and drew a dagger from her belt, flashing it in front of her. "Get away from him!" she shouted, holding the razor blade at chest level. Her dark eyes flashed dangerously in the lantern light of the marketplace.

Kurai kicked the shopkeeper off the his blade and whiped the blood on the keeper's apron, then jumped over the stall counter,"Get away from who?The dead man?.." Kurai smirked, meanwhile Sion was stuffing all of the shopkeeper's goods into a large sack,"What are you gonna do, stop us?" Kurai added as they turned their backs on the two children and ran off down the road.

The girl narrowed her eyes dangerously, before nodding to the boy and darting after them. She checked over her shoulder only once, satisfied when she saw a young horse chasing after her, legs long and a little knobbly. "Hurry up, Kito," she muttered, gaining on the two older boys. The horse nodded his head, stretching his lanky legs farther. It was hard for the horse to run in the streets, and the girl, his sister Andra, was one of the faster runners in the Crickets.

Kurai grunted,"Why the hell is that runt following us?"
"I don't know, maybe because you killed a man?" Sion teased.
"Should I kill her?"
"No!Are you that heartless?!She's a little girl!"
"..Fine." The two boys stopped and threw off their tattered cloaks, revealing majestic raven wings.They jumped up and took off into the sky.

Vix cocked her head, she heard others. "May I be so bold as to ask, but, how many of you are there?" She asked, tail flicking slightly. She sniffed experimetally, the smell of blood tainted the air, she narrowed her eyes slightly.

((uhhh... should i point out that the girl is 14? same as your charries, and hardly a runt. it's the boy who's younger. thought you might want to know that.))
Andra muttered a few harsh curse words under her breath, before sheathing her sword, and checking over her shoulders, still running. She closed her eyes, and in seconds, a falcon appeared where she was, taking wing quickly. The horse below skidded to a stop, changing back in to a little boy, who stared up at his sister chasing after the two boys. "Andra, don't do anything stupid," he mumbled, before walking in the direction they had been going, holding a small hand to his side as stitches made it hard for him to catch his breath.

Kurai looked over his shoulder in annoyance,"She turned into a bird!Pest, I'll show her." He swooped upward, then aerial dived downward at the falcon, spinning and unsheathing his sword at the same instant, mid-attack.
