"Wasn't aware I had one" Kane said, spinning around in his chair "Well..not one that's immediately perceptible, at least."

Ewan spoke through a half-full mouth of food.

"Kane's problem is that he's too quiet. He doesn't say nearly enough for anyone to really understand anything about him... Also, that knife-spinning intimidates people." Ewan swallowed, and took a sip of his tea. "He's also only a year older than me, but he acts as if he's already a Guardian of Light. Does that seem about right?"

"I act like I'm a Guardian of Light?" Kane asked, his head tilted to the side and his brow creasing.

"I think you should remember who your elder's are here Kane." Zeke said looking up from his coffee, a look of almost malice crossing his face.

Do any of the others even know I'm a Guardian? Zeke internally wondered.

"Indeed he should," Dekres laughed wandering into the canteen.

"Hasn't even pasted his test, it's only after that your allowed to be a mysterious bastard," he grins pouring himself a cup of tea and adding his milk and sugar.

He saunters over to the others, "as for you," he places a hand on Zeke's shoulder, "I don't recognise you, who are you?"

Karina sighed as the group began to bicker.

I think that they should all just shut the hell up and get along.

She ordered a water from the waiter and waited for him to return.

Alright lads! Party's over, boss wants us to continue the investigation!
Steve pulled a beer from a random table and left a gold coin.

Let's get moving!
Steve spun around and swigged his beer as he swung open the doors.

Zeke felt the shoulder and looked up at the man who'd entered. He had a relatively friendly atmosphere about him.
sco
"Name's Zeke." He smiled, "Guardian at your service. I was on a reconnaisance scouting out Lycanthropes. Was being the operative word. I'm back now for the time being."

He stood up and held out his hand. "And you would be?"

Kane looked Zeke in the eyes as he spoke "I'm sorry, was I being disrespectful? I was just goofing around."

"Dekres, a fellow Guardian and as of the time being, Cedric's slave," he laughs coldly, "at least you got an interesting mission, I'm the bloody doorman now."

He grabs Zeke's hand and shakes it firmly, "nice to meet you mate," he leans to speak to him quietly, "you can deal with him," he laughs quietly before stepping away to add more sugar to his tea.

Zeke laughed at Dekres' comment, cheering him up somewhat. He turned back to Kane.

"Just watch what you say or do to certain others. Remember, if you want to rise up in the ranks, you have to be careful what you do."

He walked away and ordered another coffee. When he returned he looked at Kane "Don't worry though, I won't tell on you." He smiled.

Kane nodded, a grin on his face "Thank you. So:any other problems you'd like to tell me about and/or hit me for?" he asked

Rowan smoked a freshly rolled cigarette outside of HQ, waiting for Eliza to show up. A promotion, sex, and some lycan hunting. Today was already shaping up as the best in a while, and it wasn't even 9 am. Eliza walked out of the church, hair flowing and carrying her golden crossbow. The silver arrows were a striking, but necessary juxtaposition.
"Ready?"

"Haha. Not for now my friend. But I'm going to head back to the church. Anyone care to join me?" Zeke asked, the invitation open to all.

Kane set his now-cold mostly-untouched coffee on the table and left some money next to it "Sure, I'll come with."

Alix walks over, his expression hidden by a black hood. He moved with his cane. He had a cigar in his mouth, his habit well established by this point. He exhaled a rather large amount of smoke, looking at the gathered.

Karina opened her bottle of water and took a sip of it when it had finally arrived. Closing it back up she put her hand in the air.

"I'll come as well."

Kane looked over at Karina and flashed a winning smile, he then looked back to Zeke, his smile widening into a grin, most likely being entertained by his own stupid thoughts.

"Just the three of us?" Zeke asked, wondering what could be so fascinating left in the little café. "Ah well, come on you two, let's head back."

He looked at Kane who was smiling almost demonically. "Kane...stop it, you're freaking me out, and that takes a lot."

"Yes sir." Kane said, his cheshire grin fading back into a simple smile.

Ewan left his money on the counter, and hurried after the rest of the Guardians.

"Don't leave without me." He said to them. As he caught up with them, he wondered what Kane had been grinning about.

Alix trailed somewhere behind them, makingno effort to make himself seem stealthy, he kept up with the group, catching up quickly.

Kane hummed a gentle tune as he followed Zeke, keeping his hands in his pockets.

Karina looked at Kane and grimaced.

"If you keep smiling that wide I'm gonna cut all of your fingers off."

"Sorry." Kane said, the smile completely dissapearing from his face. "Although...what good would cutting my fingers off do? then I'd be smiling creepily and bleeding out."

Zeke continued walking ahead of the group, leading the way towards the church, he could see the spire in the distance as they kept on walking.

He chuckled to himself at Karina's comment. "Now now, play nice. Besides, as he said, he'd be even more annoying then, we'd have to use up valuable bandages on him." Zeke said half jokingly, half seriously.

Kane shrugged slightly and looked back at Karina "So, where ya' from?"

"Europe", Karina said quickly. "1857. I grew up on a farm and got out of there as fast as I possibly could."

Karina jogged up a bit and stopped once she was next to Zeke. "So how about you Zeke? You're a cute boy, tell me where you're from?"

Kane smirked slightly and said quietly to himself "Alright, no intention of being friendly. I can live with that." he then slowed his pace greatly until he was next to Dekres, he extended a hand "Kane Torres"

Steve noticed the fellow Guardians moving closer to the church. They moved in a small pack. Next to the entrance was a man with a cigar, Eliza and Rowan.

Steve walked up to the trio and waved.
So, what's the situation?

Alix continues walking, his cigar burning low. He makes no attempt at conversing.

"Hah. Cute, I've been called several things before, and cute certainly wasn't one of them." Zeke said smiling. "I'm from around here. Born 1625. When my parents were...involved, I left and travelled around Europe for a while, just figuring out what I wanted to do. Then I met The Guardians and well, that's that. Been doing this for nigh on 180 years now."

He waited to see what her reaction would be, looking 25 he knew his real age was shocking to some.

The spire of the church grew ever closer, the group couldn't be more than 5 minutes away now.

"You look very good for your age. I am 190 myself. I still stand by my statement though, you're very cute." Karina smiled playfully and walked ahead of Zeke.

Looking ahead Karina saw the church. "We're almost there." She said over her shoulder to the others.
