The Internet Cafe: Screen Cups

Lis (Recruited)

"No, don't!" Lis stands. "Um, please. It won't be good if you do."
She swallows as she remembers the knife in her jacket.
"Please." She says again, wanting anything but to have to take it out.

Arah (The Akachi)

His knives in his jacket slightly moved making the familiar soft sound of metal on metal and sighed. "It's hard for me not to help, it's against my nature," he told her sitting back down. He looked out the window watching where the alarm came from.

Lis (Recruited)

She sighs as Arah sits back down, relieved, and tries to calm down.
"It wouldn't do you any good if you went, sorry." She tells him, blushing as she takes another sip. "No one's going to be hurt, anyway."
Cursing at herself when she says the last part, she avoids making eye contact with him and feels her face burn red even more.

Arah (The Akachi)

He acted as if he didn't hear her. "Anything you like to do?" he asked her trying to avoid the topic, hoping she was right. He drunk the rest of his drink before placing the cup on the table.

Lis (Recruited)

"I don't really have any favorites." She says, thankful he ignored the last part. "You?"

Arah (The Akachi)

"I like weapons," he simply said shrugging as if embarrassed. The alarm was still blaring and it was visible in his eyes it was taking him everything he had not to run out there and help.

Lis (Recruited)

"What kind of weapons?" Lis asks, looking out the window. Her brother bolts across the street and into an alleyway, hiding as her father finishes the job.

Arah (The Akachi)

"What do you mean what kind of weapons? Any weapon that kills. I train myself using swords and daggers/knives," he said smiling big completely blocking out what was going on outside while talking on the subject of weapons. "Anything you like?" he said quickly embarrassed for his outburst.

Lis (Recruited)

She flashes a smile at Arah.
"I don't have a particular favorite, once again, but I've always wanted to shoot a gun." She replies.

Arah (The Akachi)

Arah smiled and moved his hand into his jacket. There was a rustling before he slid a gun towards her. "Here, it's yours. I have more weapons," he said smiling.

Lis (Recruited)

She smiles wide, sitting up at the sight of the gun.
"Thank you so much!" She says.
She can't help but get up and hug him before taking the gun in her hands.

Arah (The Akachi)

Arah hugged her back smiling before getting to the point. "I know you know what's going on. So, can you please explain?" he said his voice getting serious.

Lis (Recruited)

Her smile fades as she sits, listening to Arah. Taking a sip of her drink and glancing at her brother's hiding place, she draws in a deep breath.
"It's just a robbery." She whispers. "Nothing big."

Arah (The Akachi)

Frowning,he looked at her. "Are you connected in anyway? I can barely sense a relationship between you and them," he said.

Lis (Recruited)

She slips the gun in her jacket and hides her trembling hands in her lap. Father said to never speak of it...
"They're my only family." She whispers.
