She seemed to wander with a slight irritation for not being able to find what she wanted that she wasn't paying much attention where she was going till she lost track of Ookami and tripped, falling on her knees from stepping on her cloak. "Son of a..." She muttered her words in disdain.

Ookami was still watching the shops around him, trying to help his new friend find what she was looking for. He was getting pretty irritated that he couldnt find the shop. Ookami was sure that there was one pretty close by from where they are. He was trying to remember where it was & Unknown to him, Yume tripped & fell behind. He had no idea & kept walking. Without taking his eyes off the shops around him, he said to where Yume was perviously located, "Have you found one yet yume...?" He waied a bit for her to answer & turned to where she was to ask her. "Have you found the shop yet Yu-" He then realized that his friend wasnt by his side. Ookami whipped around & looked in all directions, but couldnt find her. "Where'd she go...?" He said to himself.

::Asura watched intently as Yume did his job for him. She strayed away from the male ninja and Asura kept his eye on her and, sensing her constant radiation of guilt, followed her until she once more did his job for him. She tripped and fell down into the crowded street. This couldn't be going any better! I can just wing it from here... He thought to himself as he extended his dark bandaged hand down to the girl and grinned cooly, looking down on her with a warm and nurturing gaze. He had learned from the cultists who raised him all of the finer aspects of acting and faking personality. He knew exactly what to be to crack this type of egg. Someone who understands, and sympathizes. He quickly planned a voice before he spoke::
"Need a hand?"
::The words came out of his mouth a smoothly as butter, and with a hint of innocence. It was more than a question, it sounded more like an invitation::

With a quick glance up, she saw his cool-ish appearance. It irked her. Something about his personality made her spur in detest. Her eyes glanced back down, pulling her loose cloak off her heel that it caught on and she stood as though it wasn't a big deal. "I'm fine." She bluntly stated as she stood again and adjusted her hood again over her head.

Ookami glaned around, scanning the area for Yume. He couldnt seem to find her. The street they were on was bustling with activity. Many people crowded the street, making it incrasingly more difficult to find her. Trying to get a better view, Ookami jumped up on top of a small building he was standing close to. He stood, shading his eyes from the sun & searched. Finally, he caught a glimpse of the blue cloak that Yume was wearing. He saw her adjusting it, but he also saw a man, talking with her. 'Oh! Mabey he's one of Yume's friends?' he thought to himself. Honing in on where they were, he walked through the crowd until he came upon them. "There you are!" he said to Yume as he walked up to her, smiling.

Yume didn't look away from the man who stood before her. She didn't feel comfortable looking away for even a moment. "I see you found me." She stated in a bland tone.

::On the inside, Asura was quite irritated that she didn't take his hand, although not even a glint of that annoyance was shown.. But, he had half-expected the girl to be stand-offish anyway. He could plainly see that she would probably not want to just stand around and talk to him, a stranger, for very long. He'd have to find a way too keep her engaged, but without seeming suspiciously persistent. This was his least favorite part of every abduction, staying involved with the target without looking like you're trying to. He watched her pick herself up from the ground as he thought of a quick topic for small talk.
But, it was at that moment that luck sauntered up to him as if on cue. He heard her escort call out to her and approach them. He had originally wanted to get her away from this man, but now that he saw how anti-social she could turn out being; he figured this open, friendly, and exuberant escort of hers could be his gateway to getting to her. He would be much easier to befriend and win over, and if Asura had this guy, he could easily use that as an excuse to travel with the both of them until he needed to separate them again. With his plan made, he just grinned again, big enough to pull his eyelids closed.. He decided to keep up the "innocent, boy-ish charm" act for the time being. Even if it would turn out being the wrong demeanor for Yume, Asura was confident he could connect easily with the boy this way. He tilted his grinning head slightly to the left before speaking once more in the same, smooth, buttery, careless tone as before::
"Ah, you have an escort? Not from around here are we?"
::He chuckled playfully, as if what he said had been some sort of joke. This question was personal, but not so much so that he would be prying, seeing as Yume wasn't wearing a headband much like himself. It should work smoothly::

"I've been here before... once. But no. I'm not from here." She addressed. His question although invasive did seem to put Yume a bit more at ease. It did not erase her suspicions, but she felt more comfortable with Ookami with her than she would be on her own speaking to him. "And ... I guess you can say he is my escort." She continued.

Ookami chuckled a little from being called an escort. He knew that he was technically one, but it amused him to be adredded as something so formal sounding. "Yeah, I guess I am, arent I?" He looked at the man standing before him with a sort of wonder. Yume didnt really seem all that comfortable, because she seemed to shift slightly, as if uncomfortable. But this man seemed to be rather nice, so why not? Ookami stuck out his hand toward the man, "Hey, I'm Ookami Akama. Pleasure to meet you!"

Yume's eyes shifted to glance to Ookami for a moment. Surprised to see him so friendly with a complete stranger, but then again, he was kind enough to her so it wasn't a complete shock. But her eyes return their narrowed gaze to the man before them, seeing if he'll take the greeting gesture.

::Asura was delighted with Ookami's actions. Yume's answer to the question really didn't matter much, he already knew everything he needed to about her. But Ookami had just given him he what he wanted. A thirsty growling echoed in the back of his mind. The Fade knew what this outstretched hand meant for him. Asura took the black bandaged hand he had originally held out for Yume and clasped Ookami's hand tightly, being sure to make plenty of contact with his Fade bandages. He shook his hand vigorously and forcefully, continuing to grin, as the bandages began to silently feed on the boy's emotions::
"Well, I'm Shishiwara Yamamoto" He exclaimed the lie proudly and warmly. Seeing as Asura wasn't even his real name, this came naturally. He opened his eyes to gaze at the two before him, "but everyone just calls me Shishi. I'm new to the area, too. I'm a traveling entertainer."
::Asura thought the effects of his bandages might seem suspicious, but no one could ever sense exactly WHAT caused their mood to plummet. Most don't even notice it has. And he wasn't even using the full power on Ookami, not wanting to depress him too much. But just enough to shake up his thinking::

"Nice to meet you, Shishi!" he grins at him, showing him his canine-like teeth. "So, You're a traveling entertainer? What do you do?" As Ookami said that, he stuttered a little bit. He felt odd. He was having some difficulty thiking staight. He just kind of shook it off, blaming it on the heat & the fact that he was wearing a jacket.

Yume raised an eyebrow to Ookami's reaction. She still couldn't shake something was "off" about the man, but she didn't feel too threatened by him. As her interest waned in the conversation, her eyes wandered to the shops again as she tried to see if she could read them to find the store and stock up on medical supplies. Keeping to herself, without saying a word.

::Asura released Ookami's hand, leaving the the emotional taint behind. He grinned and stepped back a little bit as he answered humbly::
"Why, I tell stories, sing and dance, most anything one might want me to do!"
::Asura tossed some of his hair over his shoulder elegantly, then rolled his crystal blue eyes directly at Yume and spoke with a sly and mysterious tone::
"I can even tell the future..."

Yume's deep emerald eyes narrowed into a sharp glare, "Now that's almost laughable." She bluntly retorted without a sense of regret.
