A City On Our Knees

[Daft Deception]

"hello." she said soflty, taking a step back out of habit, she almost knew this familiar stranger....but her mind was telling ehr to be catious, and her body was almost fully relaxed.

[Intense Disaster]

"I'm Xander."-He said offering her a smile, which was unusual. Usually he was to catious to offer a smile to even the friendliest(sp? Sorry, really tired.) of strangers.-"And, you are?"

[Daft Deception]

she looked at him, and his smile made her give a soft, genuine smile, "kiki....i think." sht took anotyer step back.

[Intense Disaster]

"You think?"-He noticed she was stepping back, but he continued to step forward. He didn't understand this connection to her. And, he had to find out. It would eat away at him until he did.

[Daft Deception]

"yes." Kiki straightened her stance, "im not sure what my name is, i cannot remmember it." she looked down at his clothes....he was dressed similar to her...the black outfit was similar to hers.

[Intense Disaster]

"I'm not sure either, but you sound a lot more trust worthy when you don't question yourself."-He said giving her a crooked smile.-"Atleast, that's what I've heard."

[Daft Deception]

"I just now realized that." she looked back up at his face, "is there a reason your dressed similar to me?" she asked.

[Intense Disaster]

"I don't know. Maybe, we're from the same place? Maybe we both have an amazing sense of style. Maybe we shop at the same place. There could be a lot of reasons."-He said smirking, because he also just now realized that they were indeed wearing the same thing.

[Daft Deception]

"And also the markings on our skin." she looked at her arms, and the scars from the Runes, the strange design was confusing, but yet she was proud of them at the same time.

[Intense Disaster]

"Yeah, I've been trying to figure out what they are. They're so beautiful and mysterious. They fell important to me, but I don't know what they are."-He looked at his own arm that was covered.-"Do you know what they are?"
