1x1 Silent Symphony & Of the Falls

[Falls]

Tessa glanced down at the phone as it buzzed and quietly chimed the default ringtone in her hand. She unlocked the touch screen and quickly scanned over the short reply, her mouth spreading into a smirk. Her thumbs tapped at the screen and then podded the 'send' button before sliding to the side of the phone and locking it again.

What, my thumbs aren't suppose to funtion when I'm dying now? What planet are you from? Do your specie's thumbs go limp when they get stabbed too?

[Veins Of Opal]

Lucien walked across the stream, not necessarily looking for Tessa anymore, merely going on a pleasant stroll. With a horse following him. His phone vibrated in his pocket once again, and the Assassin growled, plucking it out and unlocking the screen to read the message.

If you had been stabbed, I'm pretty sure you would be too busy with your stab wound to be testing me. Unless you really like to text me, then I'd feel honored to be more important than a stab wound. See, you can't deny my amazing-ness.

Lucien smirked at his smug reply, dropping his phone into his pocket once again. He glanced at Shadowmere, quickly mounting the black mare, instead of walking.

[Falls]

Tessa unlocked the phone again as it buzzed and chimed, rolling her eyes at the smug tone of the text message.

No, the TV and your horse are more important than a stab wound. I sent you a text concerning THEM, not you, remember?

She paused there, mulling over an idea in her mind before reluctantly giving in to the thought and adding one last sentence:

Why don't you get your ugly ass out here so that I can use my dying breaths to deny your amazingness in person.

[Veins Of Opal]

Shadowmere snorted as the phone vibrated once more, and he unlocked the phone, reading the message with a frown. He grumbled, putting it back in his pocket and nudging Shadowmere to a walk, his eyes flicking around for Tessa. He was wearing a simple maroon button-up shirt with the first few top buttons open, and simple faded-blue jeans and leather boots. His hair was tied back as usual, and he has some stubble growing in. Eh, oh well. He looked up, smirking as he saw Tessa sitting down, leaning against the tree. "Oh, you're definitely dying." Lucien chuckled from atop the black horse, pulling Shadowmere to a stop a few feet from Tessa.

[Falls]

Tessa crossed her legs CCA and leaned her elbow against her uninjured leg, propping her cheek up against her knuckles and closing her eyes as she waited for Lucien's next text. But rather than another buzz and chime, his voice cut through the silence and startled her into sitting bolt upright. She gave a small grunt as the back of her head collided against the trunk which then caused her to slouch away from the tree and rub at the area of impact through her hair. "It's an invisible injury. Highly lethal. Have some respect for the dying." She grumbled a little bit as she dropped her hand and glared up at the man on his horse. Of course he was on Shadowmere. He just had to make a dramatic enterance. "You did that on purpose," she growled grumpily, referring to him startling her.

[Veins Of Opal]

"I didn't do it on purpose." Lucien scoffed, sliding off of Shadowmere's back, patting the horse's withers before making his way over to Tessa, folding his arms across his chest. "Besides, I would have expected you to hear a horse walking up." Lucien chuckled, looking down at Tessa, who was sitting on the ground, taking her hand from her head. He arched an eyebrow. "If it was highly lethal, you would be dead by now." he added in that velvety rich voice, a smug smile upon his lips.

[Falls]

Tessa rolled her eyes and gave an annoyed huff. "Well not everyone can be an alert assassin. I suppose even a stampede of boars could sneak up on me and I'd never even know what hit me." She grinned. "Idiocy is bliss. You should try it sometime." She gingerly leaned back against the trunk of the tree with a sigh, stretchin out her injured leg with a wince as she continued to look up at Lucien. "Besides, I don't think I'd pass the sexy test to be an assassin. You all seem to look ridiculously attractive. Well, all of you accept for the weirdo standing before me." She gestured to all of Lucien with a smirk and then stuck her tongue out at him.

[Veins Of Opal]

Lucien rolled his eyes, giving a chuckle. "Oh, so you think Ungolim is more attractive than I am?" he snorted, a smirk upon his lips. He sat down in front of Tessa with a sigh, one leg bent with the other positioned beneath it as he rested his arm on his knee. Lucien certainly didn't like Ungolim, but he had to put up with the man, due to him being the Listener. Lucien thought it was absurd that he, Lucien Lachance, was Ungolim's subordinate! He shook his head, grumbling at the thought. He brought his brown eyes back to Tessa, giving a smug smirk once again.

[Falls]

Tessa made a face at Lucien as he sat down in front of her. "Maybe I do," she teased, playfully narrowing her gray-blue eyes at him. She watched him grumble a bit (probably about Ungolim) and then smile again, giving a small chuckle at his antics. "Goof ball," she murmured as she sat back and eyed him with a grin.

[Veins Of Opal]

Lucien lifted his honey-brown gaze to Tessa, a smirk flitting across his lips as he chuckled in a velvety smooth tone, "Well then.You certainly have quite an odd taste in men. I'm sorry to inform you that Ungolim doesn't prefer women," he told her, a sly smirk upon his lips as he did so. But, it was the truth. Ungolim often shamelessly flirted with Lucien or Vicente, and frankly, Lucien had come close to punching the short man.
