Allizia:
He was smling still as she finally turned to pick a prioze, and his eyes widened when she held the strawberry out to him. He blushed, and took it. "T-thank you...I am boss, and they will hear me roar." He smied as he picked up the round white throwable objects and cracked his shoulders before he wound up. He was more atuned to throwing stones and skipping them on the river, and he applied the same thign here. Eyeing the bottom row, he waited, then threw the first ball, followed almost instantly by the seond. The first ball knocked into the bottom left bottle, and hald the stack fell, with the second ball finishing the stack off. He stood up staraight, a smile back on his face as he looked at the she-cat for her reaction.
Fate:
She giggled and jumped up and down in excitement as he knocked down the bottles, her eyes lighting up in amusement much like a kit " You got em!! Now you can get the rat for your sister! She'll be so happy!" she purred, movement and a familiar scent catching her attention she turned around , her excitement and giddiness dying down as she caught sight of Taboo who merely watched for a second more before disappearing. She cleared her throat before walking up over to Akelo and merely smiled " That was great! I assume it's almost time for the lanterns, but do you wanna dance before we find a spot to sit and watch?" she purred calmly, seeing Taboo giving her a reality check. She wasn't a normal she-cat and shouldn't act like a giddy one at any occasion. This was just an outing to learn more about others, to learn more about Akelo and what he does and how he acts.

He couldn't help it, her enthusiasm was contagious. He found himself smiling and laughing along with her. So he was extrememly confused and put off when she suddenly stopped. Her laughter seemed to trail off and Akelo found himself slightly discouraged. He smiled, got the rat for his sister, and hooking it too to his belt. He would stop by and drop it off at a later time. Smiling still, tho the intensity of his smile had died down, he nodded.
"A dance would be lovely, Ana. Over here." He smiled softly, and held out his paw to her. He would lead her over to the area primarily for dancing.

Ana smiled, eyes closing as she let out a purr an took the toms paw, letting him lead her over to the dance area. She glanced back to the area she saw Taboo, though no sight of him, she could feel he was still around. She knew he could be protective sometimes, always corralling her away from things like this and she understand why. The life of a pirate can change as quickly as the sea's temperament, and there was no room for a love story, especially since she was captain, and her crew came above all.
She realized they had made it to the dance floor and quickly turned her attention back to Akelo smiling lightly " So, if you dance too, how come you don't teach Belle to dance? Or are you just that bad of a dancer" she purred teasingly, keeping her one paw in his and placing her other on his shoulder. The music still had a beat to it but had slowed down a bit, a pace that the musicians could keep without running out of breath to quickly.

He led her gently, not wanting to trip any other dancers up. As they reached the dance floor, he spun her slowly and turned her to face him. His paws rested against her fur softly, trying not to rub her the wrong way. He twitched his ears at her words and smiled again. A smile seemed almost permanant on his face when he was near her. Odd enough as that was, he liked her company.
He shook his head to himself. He needed to stop. He had a job to do. There was no time for a female in his life. He had to focus on work, on the royal amily, and he needed to stop. He loosened his hold on her, dropping his paws slightly, barely touching her now.
"I'm not bad at dancing. I just am bad at teaching."

Ana was surprised by the twirl and her tail twitched in humor once more. " Well what's the point of dancing if you can't teach? " she purred softly finding it hard not to take the lead, used to having to teach others she danced with, but not this time. He actually knew the steps. She took her paw that was in his away and dragged the paw on his shoulder across his chest and around his back as she did a circle around him, stepping and moving to the beat before she was back in front of him, holding his paw once more, her other paw on his arm now. " It's really not that hard, you just have to slow down the moves enough until they get the steps right. If you practice enough I'll bet you'll catch on in no time" she purred, ears flicking at the laughter around them.

He blushed at the soft touch of her paw as it encircled his frame, and he became all to aware of the fact he looked and felt fragile, boney to the touch. He never had much meat on him. He flicked his ear, nodding his head to the tempo. He had danced to this song many times, he didn't have to think about the moves anymore. He rested a paw on her cheek slightly, looking down at her face. He gave her a small smirk, bent down, and pressed his mouth to hers.
It was swift, as he twisted just enough so she would dip as the final notes of the song sang out. He didn't notice the laughter, nor the stares, just smiled at her, tail curling and uncurling in contentment as he purred softly.
"Yes, that seems well, I'll try that next time."

Ana stared back at him as his paw touched her cheek and the next thing he did caught her off guard, her mind going completely blank. What was he doing!? No! WHY!?! The next thing she knew she was in a dip position, her claws extended slightly into his shoulders as she tried to get a grip on what had happened and then she realized the music had stopped, along with the laughing nearest to them. Just whispers, whispers and staring and surrounding her all around. Her tail started to fluff out slowly as her gaze flickered from Akelo to the crowd and she slowly pulled herself out of the dip position, her tail completely fluffed out in discomfort with a tinge of fear. " uhm. . . crowded. . . the lanterns will be starting soon. . " she murmured, clearing her throat mid talk. Her face had a tinge of blush though hard to see with her dark fur and she looked around, looking for an escape again, trying her best not to hiss at the stares. Her mind wasn't working right, crowds didn't normally bother her, she couldn't understand, why all of a sudden? She then realized her claws and quickly pulled her paws off of Akelo, taking a tuff or two of his fur accidently before suddenly leading the way out of the crowd, the fact she couldn't think straight bothering her a lot.

Akelo froze.What the hell did he just do?! He backed up slightly as she removed herself. He dropped his paws, ears went flat,and he lowered his head. "I...I-Isorry...I...S-sorry..." He couldn't believe himself. And there was no way she would forgive him. He didn't want to do that! Well, maybe he did, but he didn't plan to!
Swallowing, he nodded, and put a reasonable distance between him and her, and walked to find a good place to sit to watch the lanterns. This would probably be the last time he saw her. His shoulders stung slightly,but he didn't notice, too focused on hating himself right now.

She sat down next to Akelo, keeping a bit of distance. She remained quiet for a bit as she watched other cats pair off to sit together in spots they found suitable and curl up to eat other to wait for the lanterns to be released before she finally spoke " There's no need to be sorry. . . I just don't understand. . " she murmured, her head dipped and she looked up at him. Her tail curled around her frame in an uneasy manner as she tried to search for the right words. If he found out she was blue he would hate her, hate the fact that he even hung out with her for a day, and even take her to the dungeons to be prosecuted. But it wasn't like she did anything really wrong! The most she had ever done as blue here in Gwellian was set off smoke bombs in the guards bunker room, that and steal one or twice from the rich who deserved it. She shooed the thoughts away before taking a deep breathe, this is where their friendship ended. . . " As promised, I have an answer to your question. I am not necessarily. . . a 'FAN' of the Blue Bloods. . . " she paused and looked at the ground, figuring out a way to word it so she wasn't lying, but wasn't giving away who she was either, or who her father was since he was falsely tied to the kitnapping of Akelo's first sister.

He held one leg to his chest with his paws. He was all but curled up on himself, minimizing the amount of body showing as best he could. He looked upwards, preparing for that first lantern sight. Looking, trying to guess where it would come from. He flicked an ear at her words, but didn't know what to say. He didn't understand either.
As she spoke, he turned his head to look at her. Not a fan, thats always good. He frowned, trying to figure out why she looked so sad. He scooted closer to her, reaching and placing a paw hesitantly on hers, using his other to lift her head to meet his gaze.

' Don't do it, Don't tell him the whole truth, it'll bring harm to the family I worked so hard to protect' she thought to herself. " I am not necessarily a member either.. I'm more like a part of the family. . . " he murmured. The lanterns were let loose and she could do nothing but close her eyes and flinch away, and speaking once more before he could " But they aren't as horrible as everyone makes them out to be! They're so misunderstood yet they continue to thrive and they aren't your regular pirates! Yes they hunt for treasure but the treasure of long gone cats. " she looked at the lanterns and her gaze grew sad " The Blue Bloods are built on the bond a family has, and the lost dreams of a kit who just wants to clean their fathers name. " she whispered, barely loud enough over the oo's and aah's of the cats around them.

She spoke,and he froze. His paws didnt move, his tail was still, he barely even breathed. Part...part of the family..She was...a Blue Blood... The only reason he remained there to hear more was because he couldn't bring himself to move. He was still frozenas she gained momentum and kept speaking. Lost kit...clean their name...
He moved back, sitting with his pws on his lap. He stared down at his lap, barely moving, barely breathing. He sat still as the glow of the lanterns started to rise, and finally he looked up at her. His job, he had to take care of her..But...
"You...no harm..." He tried to grasp the concept, but swallowed his words,andstarted over. "So the Blue Bloods don't try to harm...I...If thats the case wouldnt the leader want to clear things up with the military?"He tried think like his rank, instead of like he was feeling,crushed,and oddly heartbroken.

Ana flinched as he moved away, expecting him to jump her and arrest her but he didn't instead after a few moments he looked back at her. She listened to him stutter out a question and once he had it out she felt mildly offended, her ears going back " The last thing Blue harmed was a Gator in a cave after Long Legs Lost Treasure in a cave way down south across the sea! " she half huffed, crossing her arms before sighing " Blue has made it very clear that we are not to harm the innocent, instead to protect the weak and exhausted. He didn't create the Blue Bloods to do harm, he did it to replace the lack of family he grew up with thanks to the royal family and to not only provide a safe place for the misunderstood but live a life of freedom and adventure. And if you ask me, to have a Captain like Blue who has that freedom and adventure but still has a level head on their shoulders is a grand thing. " she explained. She didn't know why she was, she should be trying to get away. Whether he believed her or not he still had a job to fulfill, and she would understand, but it wouldn't stop her from trying to get away either. She moved away a bit, looking at the ground once more " Does this mean we can no longer be friends. . ." she murmured.

He sat still, returning his gaze to his paws. His ears were twitching, listening toher. As she spoke, so enthusiastic about it, he huffed and looked at her.His mind made up, he grabbed her paw, smiling. "Okay,Iwanttomeet Blue. I trust you, and I want tobe friends, but I need to hear it from his mouth, understand why he does it better. I may not be able to make it acceptable for the Blue Bloods.but I can promise that I myself won't huntfor any members. Can you do that? Can you set a meeting?"
He was smiling, excited now. He didn't want to lose her as a friend, even this one day together had been magical for him. Letting go of worries, feeling happy. He felt like he could share with her,and he would give herachance, a chance to show him her world.

Ana's eyes widened and her jaw dropped. He wanted to WHAT!?!? She had tried so hard to avoid that! Her mouth shut quick though and her ears went back more so in defeat at the words that he trusted her and wanted to give the Blue Bloods a chance. This would take so much worry off her mind, knowing her family was safe from the head honcho of the Military. " I can. . . but the meeting will have to be on his ship, he wouldn't trust anyone enough to meet, please don't take this the wrong way, a legionary anywhere else. I can get a hold of him though, how soon do you want to meet him?" she spoke nervously and looked back at the lanterns. She liked being with Akelo, and she was happy that he accepted she was a Blue Blood, but what if he found out Blue was a SHE-CAT and Ana none-the-less? " And he doesn't speak to anyone but Taboo, so he'll tell taboo what to say then taboo will repeat it " she added, looking back at Akelo, worry reflected in her eyes " And whatever you do, don't disrespect him, please? " she nearly whined, knowing very well Taboo and Spider did not put up with disrespect.
