**Laylark stood alone, the field below him aglow with the dis-coloured light of the fading sun. He leaned against the low wall, the only thing separating him from certain death. After all, one would be quite lucky to survive after falling off the wall. The sun, or lack of it, distorted Laylark's shadow, stretching it out behind him. His eyes were darkened as well, the hood of his midnight cloak obscuring them from the light of the dying day. He sighed heavily, not liking much being alone. Despite this fact, he almost found himself grinning to himself. The win seemed to be blowing in just the right direction, the light was just right, dim yet still enough to brighten his surroundings. The clouds hung peacefully in the sky, various shades of orange and purple. How many times had he stood by himself and watched such displays? Not many. As already mentioned, Laylark didn't much like being alone, though he now realized the peaceful serenity of it all.
He liked sunsets.**

**An otter, resting in the rapidly diminishing shade of an oak tree, lazily regarded the fox as he relaxed silently. It had been a long day. He was going to get up, and join his friend, but he wasn't sure if Laylark would appreciate him breaking the calming silence. The fox looked happy.**

**Crystal cape swings a little as she jumps onto the branch of Darter's oak tree, claws sunk in the bark. The fox stays silent, not wanting is disturb the quite peace. Crystal's ear moves a little as she looks at the cloauds changeing colors. From white to pink to red. And the sun shines a redish orange color.**

**The red fow turns his head slightly, noticing Crystal's signature white fur in a tree far below. With closer inspection, he notices Darter sitting beneath. With a lazy movement of his arm, Laylark waves to them both.**
Hey you two! Why don't you come up here? The view's much better!

**Crystal tumbles out of the tree beside him, and Mortamus walks outfrom the shadow of the tree. The fox siblings whisper a few times then Crystal nods.** Your right, Mort. It's pretty... Yes it is. **Mortamus saids shyly.**

**Another silent figure seemed to be observing the sunset in all its splendour. Shigurè paused–quill clasped lightly by his paw, which dripped a tear of black ink onto the fresh page of a book–and perked his ears, aware that he was not the only one who had chosen to view the molten sunset. With a smile, he gently closed his book with suprising care, and slipped it into a concealed pocket on the inside of his cloak. Squinting slightly, the fox viewed the pair of Crystal and Mortamus, before sweeping his gaze over to the otter, Darter, and the only familiar face gathered.**
Laylark. **His soft breath coiled with realization, and he beamed. His stay with the Guardians of Mossflower adn't even exceeded a month, and he was prone to disappearing, so he hadn't had much of a chance to aquaint himself with many others. Flicking his tail to the side, he made a scuttling noise with a paw, trying to draw attention to himself whilst his features remained pleasantly placid and calm. If there was one thing he knew how to do, it was get his own way.**

Some fox should speak and not make silly noises. **Crystal saids.** WE don't bite, so speak up. **Crystal knows what the newcomer is like, and dosen't intend to fall into his control. She turns, emerald slited eyes twinkleing.** May as well meet you. Crystal Rosepaw. If you know an Audery and Vinepaw, you can figure it out from them. **Mortamus looks down, not used to so many people around. He shifts his feet, stone faced.**

**Shigurè took Crystal's attitude with a calm, disarming smile, his voice portraying no hint of sarcasmn.** Well, excuse my dear for twitching. I know it must the terribly annoying. **He closed his dark eyes and cocked his head to the side, which gave him the strange appearance of a puppy beaming innocently up at its owner, and pulled his cloak about him tighter. Flicking his eyes back open at the mention of two familar names, he sighed and his posture slumped.** Audrey and Vinepaw? You should see how much damage they did to my house; it had to be entirely re-constructed three times.
**Pulling a pitiful face, his muscles relaxed ad he straightened and a chuckle curved at his lips. He stared at Crystal with his somehow, almost entrancing eyes.** They did mention a 'Crystal' at one point. Said she was a complete lunatic, lacking common-sense and, to say it in an appropriate Audrey style: "Having the fashion sense equivalent to that of a newt". **He arched an eyebrow.** Was that you?
OOC: Note, Shi's making most of that, but... it's based off the truth... sorta... Aud probably said something along the lines of, "Her cloak is tattered from all her travelling, and looks a bit like she fought with a newt". And by lunatical and having no common-sense, the Twiggles were most likely bringing up Crystal's 'mood swings'. Shi can be a major pain in the tail sometimes. Don't listen to a word he says. ;D

**Crystal pokes at the fox with her staff, the orange ord shining dully.** You better speak truth. Plus, Aud's just to clean for me... Plus, I like being hyper, thanks... **Crystal twitches, giving her and insane look.** And thanks, I like being who I am. **Crystal glares unsawyingly into Shi's eyes, her spitefulness placeing dagger into her fiery glare that had put many a beast into looking away.** And Aud wouldn't say that, we're friends... Nayh. If you have a problem with what I'm like, then you better hope you can back it up with a blade. **Crystal keeps her un blinking firey stare up, putting all her rage that Shi lied into it.**

* Elena walks up to the wall tops and watches the sun set. A few moments later, she sits on the low wall and says.* You know, she can back her words up with a blade, so I'd be careful if I were you What's-your name.

**Shigurè looked mock-offended, a gasp passing through his fangs.** And, when exactly did I claim to have a problem with you, Miss. Really, give your ears a good clean. If you choose not to believe me, then fine, though you shouldn't judge me based on the five minutes you've known me. **He swivelled his head over to Elena, and twitched his whiskers at her.** Name's Kuroza. Shigurè Kuroza.
**He considered the creatures advice momentarily, then smiled peacefully.** I see it as an idle threat, Miss. No, I'm not experienced in the art of fighting–that fad never seemed to rub onto me–but is there really a need to fight when you can merely tire your enemy out by dodging? I am, as they say, 'fast'. I prefer to distance myself from those who train in the art of killing. I cannot truthfully say that I respect warriors, nor see why their honoured. True, they protect others, but they kill others as well, no matter if their vermin or not.
**He cast his eyes over to the horizon, and he appeared in deep thought, before quietly muttering.** No matter the gender, species or personality... every creature has good in them. I believe no one is truly evil, only that they are misguided to think that. Ah, the ramblings of an old fox. **Chuckling lightly, he stood up and, with perfect, nimble balance, walked across the walltop, paws tucked into his cloaks folds.** Oh, by the way Miss–perhaps you should think before you act. Challenging somebeast before you know their strengths, weaknesses and vulnerabilities is stupid. In battle, that will get you killed. **Finnishing, he set up a humming solo, trudging onwards across the walltop, tail swishing behind him. Apparently he'd found no inspiration from the setting sun.**

And so am I, smart aleck. **Crystal hisses through the sharp fangs. She thinks about punching Shi in the jaw, and the sactifation of proveing she could back up her own words. She insted leaps in front of Shi, eyes blazing wildly. She growls under her breath, but knowing any desent fox could hear her.** Just because I'm smaller, and the youngest Gardian of Mossflower dosen't mean I can't fight. **Crystal draws her battlesword, looking as if she were going to kill Shi, but after her fighter stance, she tosses it, it landing in the gass, point buried deep in the ground. She sweeps the karate belt off, the kama falling harmlessly to the grass by the sword. Crystal doesn't touch the staff, because with a sweep of her head, it fall away too. She sands in front of Shi, baring his path from esacpeing her, but shows no sign of real anger exect her eyes.** Now, you can attack me and leave or stay here and take advice and make it right with me. I can be or a good friend or an enemy you could tate death from.

**Laylark grins in recognition as he sees Shigurè.**
Hey.
**Of course, by the time he realizes who he is, he's already gotten Crystal all riled up. He can't help but chuckle to himself as Crystal gets all worked up like she always does. Continuing to smile to himself, he turns to face the sunset once more as he mulls over Shigurè's words. 'Every creature has good in them...' He knew that all too well.
He frowns, noticing that the sun is now but a sliver and that night is narly upon them. The first stars are already twinkling in the sky, and he realizes that he just missed a large part of teh sunset watching Crystal's antics. Ah well. There's always tomorrow night.**

**Shigurè percieves the situation with an almost insulting calmness. He knew Crystal would never strike him... at least, not whilst others were here to punish her for any misactions. He smiled at her.** My dear, everything I say goes in one of your ears and comes out the other. I never claimed that you couldn't fight. I never challenged your authority as a warrior. All I did was give advice, and if this is how you handle advice... then I'm afraid you have much more to learn as a warrior.
**He chuckled in amusement as the foxmaid barred her path, obviously finding the action humerous.** Ah, I see nothing about what I've said has sunk in yet. You must be pretty dull then, hm? **He made no attempt to move, just let his eyes flicker, half open.** Now Miss, I must ask you to move. You're blocking my view of the sun.

Nice to meet you Shigure. I'm Elena. * Elena smiles as she introduces herself and suddenly turns to Crystal.* You heard him, if he dosnt' want to fight, then don't fight, it's best to have peace when you can have it. Leave it, words never hurt anyone.
