Risk of Rain (Open)

Spoiler:

While Liona for the most part enjoyed the learning experience, The occasional day off was nothing to sneeze at. Today, she had chosen to spend it with some casual window shopping at the central square of Bellmuse. She had an outfit to reflect as much, with a white sleeveless floral print blouse and a knee length orange skirt. The day was nice, warm but cool enough to let you know that summer had all but reached its end. It was quite the relaxing feeling to have, the perfect day to be out and about. or at least, that's what she had thought.

Almost as soon as she had stepped into the town square, drops of rain started to pour, Slowly at first, but before she knew it, Liona was getting totally drenched. She shrieked at the sudden cold water, and ducked into the nearest shelter, the patio of a local Cafe. Naturally, she would have rather not dealt with rain if she could help it. Much unlike the common stereo type for the Cat faunus, Lio did not have too much of a problem with water. That didn't mean she liked it, but she didn't dislike it either. Though she definitely disliked suddenly getting soaked by rain coming out of the blue, but then again, who would enjoy that?

Well, she was already here and since the rain did not seem to want to let up any time soon, the blonde huntress in training decided that it was probably a good idea to get some food. Sitting in the nearest set table, Liona looked through the menu before settling on a large chocolate parfait. Fudge on top of cookies on top of pudding on brownie on pudding, just the picture alone looked great. She waved at the waitress (Faunus, to the girl's admitted relief), and placed her order.

That was when she saw him. He wasn't wearing that armor he always had on, but Liona remembered Warren's face from a class they had together, in fact it was the class they didn't have today. Unintentionally, no really, her face turned into a glare as she stared at him. Why was he always around?

Liona didn't really pay much attention to the people walking in and out of the already populated cafe as she continued to stare at Warren, trying to process how he insisted to be everywhere she went. They had at least met many more times than Liona would have liked. Her thoughts were interrupted though, when she was discovered by the guy. He informed her that it was rude to stare, the nerve! Of course, yeah he was right, but that made it no less annoying! ...And embarrassing, so embarrassing. Her face turned beet red at being caught and she immediately turned away, irritation on her face and eyes closed, wishing she could disappear, despite the aura of confidence that she desperately tried to maintain through her humiliation.

"Y-yeah? I'm sure stalking people is rude too, but that doesn't seem to stop you, now does it?" She looked back at him, now borderline angry but wearing a smug grin now that she had recovered. "I realize I have such an approachable personality, but I'd appreciate it if you kept your distance for once." Now, that would have been a great time for Liona to get up and walk away, but it was raining and it was not worth it. Lucklily her parfait arrived around that time, so she focused her attention on that.

Liona's stalker comment was the one to REALLY catch warren's attention causing him to go into a fit of rage. Perfect, Liona had regained control. The ball was back in her court, and if Warren thought that she was gonna lob it back to him, then he had another thing coming. He was very clearly angered, making the argument that he had gotten to the cafe first though, while true, that didn't exactly prove much. Would a stalker be right up close to the target the whole time? No, he would be watching from afar. And sitting outdoors in front of the wide open area that the Faunus was walking around? A bit suspicious given the circumstances. Of course, it was entirely possible that Liona was wrong. She knew that. In fact, she originally had no truth in her words. However, the more she thought about it the more it made sense. What else would explain why the guy was EVERYWHERE lately?

A midst the human's rage, he asked for the reason behind Liona's hostility. What had he ever done to her to warrant this behavior. Liona didn't even know where to start. His false sense of Chivalry, His initial assumption when they met that she would be interested interacting with him, The very fact that he was everywhere she went, and definitely that time in class when he had temporarily but INTENTIONALLY blinded her. Couldn't for get that. The list went on and on. And she would have happily answered, but at the same time she was glad that she didn't have to. Why? Because another faunus, one that Liona had never recalled meeting, decided to cut in, telling the Human guy off. That was a sight to behold for sure.

After the Male Faunus' rampage, he joined Liona to make sure she was okay. How thoughtful. "I appreciate what you did, but I didn't really need the help. He's just some classmate I keep finding myself stuck with."  Liona took a moment to look at her surroundings. The people all around the cafe wore confused and, for just a few, fearful expressions, not sure what had just happened. It was really none of their business, they should have had no problem moving on with their lives. Liona simply faced forward again, getting to the bottom half of her parfait. She hadn't gotten this far in life by caring about how people judged her. "Anyway, you don't have to do anything else. The guy hasn't done anything bad enough be me not to be able to handle it. Thanks though, really." Sure, The blonde girl didn't care for Warren. but she wasn't cruel. He hadn't done anything specifically Anti-Faunus Yet, or That she knew of. She was not gonna send some random guy on him to do who knows what.

In any Case, she held out a hand to the second Cat Faunus. "I am Liona Mimiko, Current Huntress-in-Training at Syne Academy."

She shook hands with Sidono, glad to finally meet a decent school mate. everyone she came into contact with lately ended up being annoying, Warren more so since she could never seem to leave his presence. Speaking of which, His most recent comment, somthing about Liona being a Princess, Sidono being knight, and Warren himself being a lowly peasant. Really, people should not put them selves down like that, even in if was to some slight degree true. "I'm Sorry, Do you have a problem? Because in case you haven't noticed, I've moved on. I'd thank you to either do the same, or leave." and with that she returned her attention to Sidono, who had asked about her weapon. Liona did not think the inquiry was rude at all, she sort of liked showing off her weapon, but more so her skill with it. Though that was not entirely possible here. She raised up an arm so that Sidono could clearly see the yellow gauntlets that she wore. She activated it, unsheathing the claws that resided within, and then sheathing them again. "I was born with these ears instead of claws like other faunus, so I made my own. What about you?"
