Jonathan swore loudly and violently as the dark haired young woman melded into existence no less than two feet from his right shoulder. He barely contained the urge to swing his axe at the pale apparition when it spoke. He began to calm down with deep breaths as the girl began to explain her reason for acting like a phantom with a rather grisly proposition. The blonde man leaned forwards so that his sunken eyes were on level with the body-snatcher's. His breath stunk of alcohol, but aside from the uneducated speech, he didn't seem inhebriated in any way. [color=yellow]"Ain't gonna lie, girlie, you're creepy. But I ain't got qualms with robbin' the dead, and less time I spend fightin' is more time I spend lootin'. Lead on, though these dead friends of yours better have some coin."[/color] The creepy little chit of a girl smelt like danger, but she didn't carry any obvious weapons. He could work with that. 

He turned to follow the girl back into the alley and nearly jumped again as the little brat that had pissed him off in the tavern materialized from another alleyway. Jonathan openly snickered at the sight of the cute, boyish features trying to look intimidating in the slightest. This was gonna be fun. He gestured toward the drawn sword.

[color=yellow]"Now, see, that's what's been scratchn' at the back of my head all day. You swinging around that kitchen knife at your hip. Daddy not give you enough attention or somethin'?"[/color] Annoying little midget. Even if the tiny size was new, Jonathan knew the type. Guys who showed off, cracked jokes, tried to be funny for the ladies. He snorted at the hilariously sad mental picture. Jonathan outweighed the child by nearly a hundred and twenty pounds, at the least. No matter what the little bastard had planned, he'd power through it, like usual. Instead of hefting his axe, he let it hang loose by his side as he retorted with his own verbal barrage.[color=yellow]"Now, why don't ya go home and suck on mommy's nipple, little sow-spawn? Or she toss you out for beating her in the ugly and stupid department?"[/color]
