[IC] love assassination (Xion and lady)

[Xion Demente]

Raph was working on a sword sweat covering his forehead, he was focused to get this sword done by today. He already had the metal melting in the furnace as he shoveled coal into it, "your father told me you were good, but not this good you do have a way at making and using weapons." Raph only nodded, he carefully got the melted metal out of the furnace putting it into a sword shaped mold. He dunked the Neely crafted blade into water, putting it carefully on a leather grip hilt then started sharpening it.

Jackie hadn't been able to place the book down until she looked at her puppy and smiles placing the leash that Jeremy had gotten and proceeded to also get some bags, and went outside to walk her dog, figuring Killian would need it, after saving her spot pretty much half way done. She blushes a little. Why had he given her that book? Was he trying to tell her something? She was a little confused thinking about it the wheels in her head turning keeping a tight hold on her puppy telling Killian in a stern tone what he shouldn't do, he quickly learning especially when after he did what she wanted, she gave him a small bit of jerky teaching him that with good behavior comes good rewards.

[Xion Demente]

Raph got done with the sword, it was perfectly balanced. No body could get a better blade, he just considered the jewel hilts that the guards always wanted unneeded weight. He set the sword down, then started on another his shirt was sticking his skin so he took took it off then got back to work shoveling coal into the furnace. He wasn't tired not yet, he wondered if Jackie would run into him while he was working. He pushed that thought aside and kept shoveling coal into the furnace.

Jackie stopped when Killian got to the weapons shop barking recognizing the smell of the one that worked there as the same that had been in the room last night. "Hush now. Calm. There, good boy." She soothed as she gave another small piece of jerky turning as Henry was behind her. "Could you please handle Killian for the rest of the walk? I'm going to see how Raphael is liking his new job." She asked nicely enough with a kind smile, no one being able to refuse her when she asked for things like that as Henry took the young puppy to a kind of abandoned park to play fetch in giggling softly. Every knight deserved a sword, and knowing her father, he would want one that she had a personal hand in selecting, so went into the weapons shop stopping when she saw Raphael hard at work not daring to move captivated with how masculine he looked in that precise moment. It had almost the same bout of magic her having noticed yesterday how close she had been to him, but with a deeper sense of...something that she wasn't quite sure what it was jumping when she heard a throat clearing a small sheepish smile on her lips giggling softly. "Pardon me." She said with a small curtsy as she looked around the store her father in mind for when she was selecting something.

[Xion Demente]

Raph looked up, he saw Jackie a smile flashing across his face. He put the shovel back into the coal pile , and wiping the sweat off of his face, he walked up to her. "You here for something Jackie?" He said with a kind tone, either she was here buying a sword for her father or she just wanted to see him. Either or he didn't really mind as long as he got to see her, something about her always seemed to make him a little breathless inside, but like always he didn't show it.

[ladyonyx04]

Jackie turns at Raph's voice a smile on her lips. "As a matter of fact yes. I wanted to choose something for my father, as he should be coming home after the many festivities have ended, in two more days. Would you help me?" She asked him nicely not minding showing just what she was feeling the moment she felt it. She was an open book when it came to her emotions. She enjoyed being around Raph no matter what his background was.

[Xion Demente]

Raph nodded, he grabbed the sword he made hours ago. "We'll balanced good grip and easy at sharpening when the blade starts to get dull," the sword in its sheath a dragon carved into the sheath itself. "I think this would suit your father well," he got the sword out stepping way out of arms reach and swung the blade testing it's balance then putting it backing its sheath. "Yah this would suit your father well."

[ladyonyx04]

Jackie took the sword in its sheath testing it for herself a thoughtful look on her face picturing how her father would look at getting this. Pleasantly surprised since he wouldn't want jewels for they weren't necessary to show how strong one was but they were a sign of stupidity. She nods. "This will do very nicely." She said noticing how in detail the dragon on the sheath was amazed that it wasn't actually breathing. "It shows talent by the one to make it." She said smiling at him as if guessing he had done this instead of the owner of the shop.

[Xion Demente]

Raph nodded, getting started sharpening a sword sitting down on the floor his arm moving in graceful movements while he sharpened the blade. The owner coming into the room itself "Raph were done for today you got most of the order done," Raph shook his head. "Rather get this whole order done William," the owner nodded "make sure to lock up when your done," Raph nodded "yes sir."

[ladyonyx04]

"Plus it screams to bandits that one has too much money and not enough wit to actually use the blade." Jackie automatically quoted and blushing a bit. "Well that's what I always heard as a kid. Are you enjoying your time here?" She asked for she wanted to know how he liked it.

[Xion Demente]

"I like it here nice place relaxing at that," Raph said as he was sharpening a sword a guard wanted back by tonight. He set the blade down and wiped the sweat from his face, he pulled on his shirt done for the day. "You want to go for a walk it usually helps me clear my head from all the thoughts swirling around in it ," he stuck his thumbs in his pockets. Shifting his weight from his left leg still the wound hurt, but at least it didn't throb.

[ladyonyx04]

Jackie nods. "I wouldn't mind. Are you sure you want to walk though?" She asked softer as she moved to get a bit closer to him having seen him shift weight like he did figuring he must have gotten hurt somehow having seen people shift weight off something that was hurting them.

[Xion Demente]

Raph could feel the warm of her body, just by her being this close to him. "You saw me shift my weight didn't you?" Now he was positive that she knew he was hurt, he knew he would have to change the bandages soon or blood would seep through. He really didn't like the idea of the blood seeping through the bandages , and onto his trousers.

[ladyonyx04]

"I was taught to be observant of everyone. So yeah I saw that." Jackie said softly. She knew two close by places she could go to wrap and clean the wound on him. "I could help you take care of that if you want." She offered her assistance blushing slightly.

[Xion Demente]

Raph looked at her, "yah that would be helpful Jackie." He normally didn't let anyone touch him, with Jackie he really didn't care. Anyone else that touched him he would've grabbed there arm to stop them from touching him. Raph was still tired from last nights stand off with a guard, and having to work he was about ready to crash that allowed him to.

[ladyonyx04]

"Great! You wait in the room. I should be no more than ten minutes!" Jackie said with a smile leaving the store and rushing to get the things needed to wash and bind the wound getting them and getting back within maybe nine minutes.

[Xion Demente]

Raph sat on the bench, shaking his head. What the heck was he doing, he really didn't know exactly what. Sometimes he even didn't know what his body was doing, half the time he normally didn't let people touch him and here he was letting Jackie, which he barely knew anything about her touch him. Even when people known him for years he didn't let them touch him.

[ladyonyx04]

Jackie walked where Raphael was and stayed at the door blushing a bit. "I can...understand if you would rather I don't help you out." She said shyly picking up that he didn't like it when people touched him. She had yesterday but she figured that had been some sort of fluke or something. She stood there with the bandages and cleaning alcohol to get rid of bacteria that could have gone on his wound.

[Xion Demente]

"It's fine Jackie I don't mind you doing it, someon else not so much." Raph closed his eyes and leaned back, wondering what her response to that was. He didn't mind Jackie touching him other people, he would flip over his shoulder. His body slowly relaxed, letting his muscles relax for once. He didn't let his guard down though, his body was tuned to where he could still hear people around him, assassins didn't just relay on there sight.

[ladyonyx04]

"Alright thank you." Jackie said and walked over sitting on her knees on the ground near him. "I'm going to have to pull up your pants to get to the wound. Is that okay?" She asked needing his acquiescence to what she had to do in these kinds of situations.
