 The tiger that shouldn't be....is.... Markus chuckled. "Nah. I'd never do that." Suddenly, he folded his wings back and dived, dropping like a rock. An excited laugh tore it's way out of his throat. "Ya-hoo!!"  The tiger that should be....isn't....

The tiger that shouldn't be....is.... Markus just laughed, sweeping his large wings out at the last moment. He swooped to a stop, landing gently on the rooftop, surrounded by plants. "You can open your eyes now." He told her with a laugh, gently setting her on her feet. The tiger that should be....isn't....

Akila tested her footing, leaning on her good leg more than the other, as she opened her eyes, and blew out a sigh, lightly punching his arm, "Would ya stop scarin' me?" she laughed, though, and too a step back, to look around.

The tiger that shouldn't be....is.... Markus winced and rubbed his arm, as if the hit had actually hurt him though he'd barely felt it. "Ow.....No need to beat me!" He whined playfully. "All I did was dive. That wasn't much. I could have done much worse." The tiger that should be....isn't....

"Please don't." Akila gave him her best kitten face, and took a step closer again, so she was very close. She really was small compared to him. She was more than a foot shorter.

The tiger that shouldn't be....is.... Markus chuckled lightly. "Fine, fine. I won't." He told her with a smile. His heart started beating faster at how close she was. He tried to keep looking calm though, reaching out to ruffle her hair. "Come on. Let's sit down. There's a bench up here somewhere." He looked around then moved away from Akila, though the plants. "Aha! Here we go. Found the silly thing." He moved a few potted plants aside to clear the path to the bench for Akila. The tiger that should be....isn't....

"Very nice." Akila laughed some, and used the path to saunter towards the bench, heavily limping until she plopped down onto one end, and waited for him to sit on the other.

The tiger that shouldn't be....is.... Markus sat down on the bench with a smile. It faded into a serious look though. "You said you have info for me?" He asked, sitting up straight and waiting patiently. Right now, he wasn't the boy Akila knew, the one who loved to have fun. Now, he was the leader of a rebellion, getting info that could change this war. Lives depended on him and he bore the burden of it all on his slender shoulders. The tiger that should be....isn't....

"Just a minute." she clicked her tongue for Zar.

The tiger that shouldn't be....is.... Markus relaxed a tiny bit, seeing the bird swoop down to land on Akila's shoulder with a joyful crow. "You two seem to be getting along." He commented with the ghost of a chuckle. Zar preened Akila's hair lightly. The tiger that should be....isn't....

"He's a very talented bird." Akila said fondly, and stroked him, before saying, "The papers, last night, from the top drawer in the desk. Could you get those for me." She kissed the bird's wing.

The tiger that shouldn't be....is.... Zar crowed happily, bouncing on Akila's hand. He took off suddenly, disappearing towards the inn. Markus watched him go with a small smile. "Yes. Aleera's done well with them. I don't know what we'd do without those birds." He murmured. The tiger that should be....isn't....

"I know, right?" she cleared her throat and straightened up, "I found multiple letters marked with the royal seal, to and from multiple surrounding countries. Speaking of things like war, and his return, only using the name Clorogne."

The tiger that shouldn't be....is.... Markus went serious as she began reporting. "Only the name Clorogne? Not his real name?" He asked, frowning as he thought. His thoughts were interrupted by Zar's proud warble as he landed on Akila's shoulder. One set of claws were wrapped around the papers she had wanted. The tiger that should be....isn't....
