Behind The Mask

Flynn stood squarely in the mud. The rain signaling the end of Summer had carved grooves and pits inside the earth, making every step mushy and cold. There were no rays from the sun's warmth to rectify the damage dealt, as the sun had already began its descent. The area was still covered in water, and the clouds were beginning their timely return. It was only a matter of time until another storm found its way here.

His skin was pale and covered in goosebumps, but that wasn't exactly out of the ordinary. Flynn was always pale and covered in goose bumps. It was freezing. He wrapped his scarf tight around his neck and shivered. He had taken the wool scarf today, and he felt as though he now owed his life to accessory clothing.

The rain drenched the ragged cloak Sasha had managed to find, tinting it much darker, swampy green than it had been earlier. trying to find better shelter than a piece of fabric held above the head, Sasha's feet raced across the ground, which looked more like a chocolate beverage than actual ground, seeking some kind of protection from the water. Sasha liked water, but rain always irritated her so, in the girl's mind, it was not the same substance at all.

As she ran, creating miniature tidal waves which each step, her eyes caught site of a boy who looked...who looked like he was at death's door! Sasha was not the type to care for strangers, but this man seemed to not be doing anything. Maybe he could help her find shelter. Taking slow, steady strides towards her desired location, the girl stood centimetres away from the person, projecting the words "You okay?" in his direction.

Looking to the girl several feet away, then back to the dirty mush that covered the barren wasteland. Flynn shivered violently. He outstretched his arms and forced himself to shiver again, then rested his hand on the hilt of his hidden weapon that lie under his cloak. He took a step towards his unknown companion.

"Good um, evening". He waved with his free hand, feeling the first drops of a new storm greet his skin. "I'm fine, yeah. How about you? I didn't exactly expect to see someone in the middle of a wasteland in what used to be Turkey".

The man was certainly cold. Even a child could tell that. But it wouldn't be enough to kill him, or so Sasha thought. She couldn't let him die, he may lead her to shelter. And that was very important in a place like this, under conditions such as these. She noticed a weapon, a blade, under the man's clothing. It seemed like a Zanpakuto, but Sasha could not be sure. Maybe she would find out.

The man spoke back in a nice enough way. Good, Sasha wouldn't have to drown him yet. "I'm okay, I guess." She said, before cocking her head to her nearly non-existent cloak. "Actually, i'm not in perfect condition." This phrase was followed by a heavy sigh. The rain seemed to be getting stronger, pouring down like bullets from a machine gun.

"Well, it shouldn't be such a surprise that others are here if you yourself are." She responded.

(OOC: Just a btw, I made it a point to say my blade was hidden, so there isn't a way for you to see it).

"Well, if a wolf strays from the pack, should we expect more to follow?". Flynn rubbed his face against his scarf. "Regardless, might I ask what you are doing here?".

He stuffed his hands in his pockets and exhaled, making a visible cloud of haze to show proof of the freezing temperature. "I'm here to practice something special".

Not being the metaphorical type, Sasha had difficulty interpreting the man's phrase. Something about wolves and stuff. She, eventually, decided to interpret it as, "I didn't expect others to be the same as me." She nodded in an awkward way, trying to pay attention to what he said. Deciding to hold back from asking for shelter, as it may be a sign of weakness, the woman instead decided to respon to the boy's question.

"I'm just wandering, not really anything else to it."

Maybe it seemed suspicious, but that rally was the only reason she was here, or any where for that matter. Sasha got awfully bored these days. She found herself trembling ever so slightly, and instantly clenched her fists, tensing her muscles to stop herself.

"Something special?" She replied, "Like what?"
