Almost Perfect (Kero)

[KARP KARP!]

Ty kissed him back before following him out. He realized they left without paying, and since the bartender was a female--and a cute one at that--he sort of felt bad. Not that he'd let Sen know that. But hey, they were thieves, after all.

Ty listened as Sen spoke, then he sort of eyed his challenge. This guy could break Ty in half if he caught him. If.

He flashed his date a grin before briefly vanishing into the crowd. He eased his way over to his target. Quick and nimble fingers reached silently for the pouch on the man's belt. Grasping the bag, he gave it a quick yet gentle tug as he disappeared again into the crowd. One could only hope that the man didn't notice.

As Ty went to get the target, Sen leaned up against a near by lamp post and waited. For the most part he appeared to not be paying attention. In truth he was watching rather closely to what was happening. If the blue eyed thief was good than Sen would be able to give Kal a good review for Ty to join the group. If he wasn’t than Sen could teach him.

The large bald man hadn’t seen or noticed Ty however he had felt something. Luckily for Ty the man automatically believed that someone had bumped into him and in a few seconds he shoved a near by younger man while yelling something about him being a clumsy dope. At first Sen thought that Ty had perhaps been caught but as he peeked he saw the man wasn’t yelling at Ty at all. The entire scenario caused a rather amused smirk cross onto Sen’s face as he waited for Ty to return.

[KARP KARP!]

Hahaha...perfect. Ty slipped through the crowd, smirk plastered on his face. And the fact that the target was yelling at some other guy? Perfect. He had stuffed the bag under his shirt, unseen to anyone that wasn't looking for it.

He met back up with Sen, motioning for the man to follow as he slipped into an alley, unseen by the man he'd stolen it from. "Alright, let's see if I got another good catch. If so, I'm three for three," he murmured.

Three for three? What did that mean? Sen thought to himself after following Ty into the back alley. His eyes fell on the pouch as the man opened it. Most likely it would be nothing more but a few coins the bald man had been plainning on spending today. Execpt when Sen saw the contents of the bag fall out he could only laugh. It wasn't gold at all. Just fancy, old looking marbles. "Sorry bout your luck." He replied still laughing a bit before something caught his attention through the side of his eye.

He stopped laughing and turned to get a better look at a few papers on the wall near by. They were... wanted posters. Some of the faces he reconized and some he didn't. Like Jack. It seemed the man wasn't into the reguler trades after all. His eyes continued to scan the wall until he finally noticed Ty's face. "Hey did you know you're worth five thousand?" He asked with a wicked grin as he turned to Ty, pointing at the poster with his tumb. He hadn't gotten a close look at the name on the poster. Just simply saw the picture and read the five thousand. If he had of taken the time to read it he would have perhaps noticed how odd it was that Ty had the same last name as Kal.

[KARP KARP!]

"What kinda tough guy carries around marbles?" Ty muttered, casually tucking them into his bag anyway. He couldn't help but smile, though. "Hey I got lucky twice already today. Three was pushing it a little."

He blinked, moving to where Sen indicated, letting out a low whistle. "Sweet." The last name caught his eye, and he paused. Jaegar...That name was like a curse word to him. His icy blue eyes turned cold, and the smile dropped. Quickly, the thief disappeared into the crowd again, reappeared with a red marker, and scribbled over the name Jaegar.

As soon as this was done, he looked at the other posters, not recognizing anyone else. Well...almost. "Hey, you're worth 5,000 too," he said with a smile.

Ah that made more sense. It was the number of times he had gotten lucky. Well then… actually Sen never really paid attention to his own luck. He really had no idea how often he got ‘lucky’ in a day. Though luck to him held no value.

Sen grinned as Ty commented rather happily about his wanted poster before the man suddenly disappeared. He blinked for a moment wondering if he should have followed the man. Luckily his question was resolved when Ty returned and began crossing something out on his poster. It caused Sen to turn and study the poster even closer as he tried to make out the word Ty had cross out. It must have been his last name but why… Sen just about opened his mouth to ask this very question when Ty pointed out his own poster causing Sen to forget he was even going to ask a question.

“Really?” He blurted out as he walked over to Ty and saw his picture up on the wall, “Holly shit!” He pulled the poster down quickly and looked over it with a rather upset expression. After a few seconds he held it up for Ty to see, “Does my hair really look that messy?” Yup, Sen really wasn’t concerned that he was wanted for five thousands dollars. It was the fact that his hair looked messy in the picture that upset him.

[/blockquote]

[KARP KARP!]

Ty was glad Sen didn't ask about his actions. His last name was something he didn't want to get into. Maybe he'd open up about that part later, but...not now.

He chuckled at Sen's reaction to his own poster. "Dude, your hair is perfect. Don't worry about it. Besides, pictures may be worth a thousand words, but no amount of pictures can capture the real deal."

Where that came from, the man had no idea. But hey, it sounded good.

Had… his cheeks just grown red with blush? No, that couldn’t be it. Sen quickly turned back towards the wall, a huge smile filling his face as he attempted to cover up that fact that Ty’s words had made him blush. He wasn’t use to such cheesy words having an effect on him. “I guess you’re right.” He laughed as he attempted to put the poster back. It wasn’t really on correctly anymore but it was good enough. Once it was back on the wall he pretended to study it a little longer before he was certain his cheeks couldn’t possibly be red anymore.

“So old man piss you off enough you disowned his name?” Sen then asked as he turned around, remembering that the last name in Ty’s poster had been crossed out. It had been an innocent enough question and more of a joke than anything.

[/blockquote]

[KARP KARP!]

Ty cracked a smile; he'd left Sen speechless for a bit, it seemed. Though the man had no clue why he was facing the other way. Oh, he was fixing his poster.

Ty cringed at the question. The thief swallowed; but he would tell the truth. "I disowned the name ever since he left me out on my own. As far as I'm concerned, I'm just Ty. No last name."

“I can respect that” Sen replied with a huge grin as he made his way over to Ty and reached out to wrap an arm around the man’s shoulders. “Can’t even remember my real name. My leader gave me the name, Sen Onni. Don’t have a clue where he came up with it from but it’s what I use.” The name actually meant ‘Thousands Luck’ which was given to him because he had been pretty damn lucky to be alive still. “I’m going to have to introduce you to the old man someday soon. I’m certain he’d welcome you into the group with open arms. You’re good enough to get your face on the wall.”

[/blockquote]

[KARP KARP!]

Ty wrapped his arm around Sen in return, resting his head on the man's shoulder. "I like it," he commented. "I think it suits you. I'm actually looking forward to it. I mean, hey," he smiled mid sentence. "If your boss accepts me, then that means we'll most likely be seeing more of each other." The thought of that made Ty very happy. After all these years, he finally found someone.

“Yup! And it will be up to you to make sure I don’t blow my share of the groups riches on booze.” He teased, letting out a laugh. It was actually Ada’s job to do that. If it wasn’t for her he would have drank himself into the ground by now. At least it was obvious to Sen that he wouldn’t be standing here talking to Ty if she hadn’t been around. “Unless your snatch with baldy was nothing more than luck I don’t see why he wouldn’t let you join.” Sen replied before adding, “And paying your due. We all have to gather enough to keep the group well funded. No ones aloud to come up short even once.” And oddly enough Sen had been able to gather enough every time. He was rather proud of that fact. But right now that wasn’t on his mind. No, right now, Ty was. “As the second in charge I say,” He turned around to face Ty, pressing his body up against the blond haired man, “you’ll be accept.” With that said he gave Ty a rather passionate kiss, his eyes closing as his hands held the man close.

[/blockquote]

[KARP KARP!]

Ty chuckled. "Well, if you don't mind me pointing this out, I didn't pick the target," he teased lightly. "Besides, marbles can prove to be useful in a pinch."

Okay, honestly, the thing about earning your keep made him nervous. He was a decent thief, yeah, but...well luck wasn't on his side. One can't always see what they're stealing if it's in a bag or something.

But it made Ty smile to see Sen had faith in him; at least someone did. The man let out a slight gasp when Sen kissed him again; he wasn't expecting it. Nonetheless, his arms wrapped around Sen in return as he returned the kiss and his eyes closed.

The gasp from Ty made Sen grin a bit as he continued to kiss the man. It was absolutely adorable how he could catch this man off guard every time he stool a kiss. In all honesty, it only made Sen want him even more. Best oart of it all, Sen was pretty sure he wasn’t the shy type. After all, they had kissed in a bar in front of a large handful of people. If Ty was shy, Sen was certain he could break the man of it fast enough.

Still kissing Ty, Sen began to push the man towards the wall before finally ending the kiss. “I thought bald man looked like someone who would have money on him” he replied finally before stealing another kiss and adding, “Those marbles are probably sentimental to him or something.” Not that Sen cared. It wasn’t like sentimental objects were important. He had one himself and though it wasn’t replaceable he still wouldn’t shed a tear just because he lost it.

[/blockquote]

[KARP KARP!]

Ty had no idea how Sen always managed to surprise him like that. But, he didn't care; he moved in the direction Sen pushed him, sort of lost in the moment.

"True. But hey, there's really no way to tell what's in the bag until you open it." He smiled as another kiss was stolen. But...the word 'sentimental' sort of struck a nerve. Out of reflex, his hand went to his own necklace, the only memory he had of his mother. The only thing he really knew about his mother; Kel never told him anything about her. He sort of spaced out for a minute

Shoving those thoughts aside, he cracked another smile. "Oh well. I'm sure I can think of something to do with them."

[Lady Leaf]

“That, is sadly the luck of a…” he let his voice trail off and looked down as he spotted Ty’s hand reach for the necklace around his neck. Perhaps it was something special to him. It was kind of funny. They both had a necklace that reminded them of someone from the past. Sept, well, Sen had no idea who the person was in his necklace. It had been the only thing he kept after being found around the age of ten.

Sen’s eyes drifted back up to Ty’s face when the icy eyed man spoke again yet Sen ignored what was said. “Who did you get the necklace from?” He asked making sure to ask ‘who’ rather than ‘where’. He was certain Ty had to of gotten it from someone other wise he wouldn’t have raised his hand up to it like he had.

[/blockquote]

[KARP KARP!]

Ty closed his eyes a brief moment, trying not to cry. Eyes still shut, he answered, "Oh, from my Mom. Sort of. She died in childbirth, and left me this. It's all I know about her, all I have to remember her by."

Ty held it in the palm of his hand, his thumb sort of tracing the fish medallion on it. On the fish was a faded engraving that simply read 'Rayne.'

[Lady Leaf]

“Oh, I’m sorry.” Sen replied, trying his best to sound sorry even though he wasn’t. Most normal human beings would have felt bad for bringing up such a sensitive subject but Sen… well he was incapable of feeling guilt or regret for anything. Most of the time he only sounded sorry or upset about something because he knew naturally that he should so… well… he always faked these emotions. Though sometimes he screwed up on them or didn’t realize he was suppose to be upset. “I’m sure, where ever her soul is, she’s happy you made it through the birth.” Sen had heard the stories about mothers dying while giving birth and there wasn’t a single mother story like that he had heard where the mother wouldn’t rather her child to live over her. “I…” He pulled at the chain around his own neck so that it slide out from under his shirt, “have one too. Though I don’t know who its from” It was a silver, oval locket which held the picture of a young girl who looked a lot like Sen. Though he didn’t open it.

[/blockquote]

[KARP KARP!]

"Thanks. I always noticed how it says Rayne. I can't help but wonder....was that her name? Or is it just some ancestor who had it originally, and it was just passed down." He shrugged. "I just try not to think about it so much. It is a pretty name, though."

He stopped talking and looked when Sen brought out his own necklace. He sort of eyed it; nothing special looking, but hey, Ty's was just a fish. "I see. Maybe it was from...I don't know, your Mom or something." He sort of chuckled. "Man, how odd would that be?"

[Lady Leaf]

Red Hair / Purple Eyes / Pale Skin

“I say it was your mom’s” Sen replied with a grin. He didn’t know why he had a feeling it was it was his mothers name but.. Well he just did. “But it is a nice name” He agreed before looking back down at his own necklace, chuckling a bit at the thought of the person in the locket being his mother. It was possible though Sen had a feeling it may have been his sister. She looked rather young in the picture. But there was no way of knowing for sure unless he found them. “Yah that would be ironic.” He commented with a big grin, “If I’m lucky she might be alive still. I might be able to find her and ask.” And perhaps find out what had happened to him fourteen years ago.
