[Private] I Just Want to Be Me (Marshall & Jet)

[mysterykitten]

Marshall paused when he stepped into the familiar sand, he was at Jasper Beach now, one of the many places he could be alone. Looking around to be sure that no one was near by, he walked to an area of the sand that was a foot away from the tide's highest reach. This was the perfect place.

Taking his large two-handed sword off of his back, he positioned it to the tip of the blade was in the ground, and the soldier was helping it stand by having a paw on the top of the handle. Pulling out a cleaning cloth, Marshall began to polish the blade, starting from the bottom and working his way up.

About halfway through, he began to sing, a common thing he did when he was alone. Today he sang a song his late mother used to sing to him when he was young and couldn't get to sleep, or woke up from a bad dream. The soothing melody was about how you're safe and protected, and nothing can come to harm you. No monsters no demons, nothing.

Jet too, found herself enjoying the peaceful day witha tune. However her harmonic voice remained hushes to a meer hum. Her tail swayed behind her, and with aver step she littered the sand with a small paw print. A mini map of her travels. Perhap if the sokoke cat had payed more attention to this sand, she may have noticed in advance that her prints werent the only ones down there.

The dancer did, however, stop dead at the sound of another voice. She swiftly ducked behind a large, runwarmed boulder. She scrapped her lightly on the barnacles that had latched onto it, and she cussed under her breath. Jet hushed herself agajn, peering over the stone at the tom. At first, she was curious, but interestquickly turned to fear at the sight of that massive blade.

She swalowed uneasily, risking another peek from behind her boulder, her ears upright. He looked scary, but that beautfil song he sung seemed to tell of differnt tales. "Excuse me?" she risked the kittish of mews.

[mysterykitten]

Marshall was so surprised by the sound of the sudden voice, his singing stopped almost immediately. And of course when he turned toward the source, he turned way too fast, and the sand moved, causing him to lose his footing, "W-Woah!" and he fell to the ground with a thud, (causing a cloud of sand to rise up ) his sword falling right next to him. The soldier was really lucky the sword didn't land /on/ him.

Sitting up, Marshall let out a cough, the sand that had gotten into his mouth shot out. After coughing, the tom looked at himself, he was covered in sand now. Still sitting on the ground, he looked to Jet, clearing some of the sand out of his throat. "Yes...?" This she-cat had heard him sing, as well as seen him make an idiot of himself. Oh jeez.

[Kitsani]

Jet hoped she wasnt being rude as she couldnt help but burst into chime-like laughter. This tom seemed funny, but she felt bad for making him fall over. She sat atop of the stone, swinging her tail over one side of it as she gazed with curiouse blue eyes over at the sandy feline and the large, frigtening blade. She flashed a smile, "sorry about that, " the dancer mewed. "I was just wondering the name of that song you sung," her ears pricked once again at the memory, and she cocked her head curiousky ti the side as she awaited an answer from the larger cat.

(shoort xD)

[mysterykitten]

( That's fine XD )

Marshall began to brush the sand off of his arms and legs. "It's quite alright, I should've been more aware." he reassured the dancer, before pausing when the dancer asked the name of the song. He drifted back in his memory on what the song's name was, but he couldn't remember, his mother never told him what the name was. "I...don't know...actually..." the soldier admitted. "My mother used to sing it to me when I was young, she never told me the name of it though..." Marshall pondered if his mother was the one who wrote the song or not, after thinking about it for awhile, he gave himself a mental shake and refocused his attention on the sokoke cat.

(There, a short one from me as well X3 )

[Kitsani]

Jet couldnt help but feel a small prick of dissapointment. So he didnt know the name of the song. Oh, well! Asking the name of the song was partially genuine curiousity, but a lot of it was also the dancers attempt at covering up the fact she had no idea what she had been meaning to say when she caught the toms attention. She flicked an ear, her kittish nature urging her to bound from topic to topic. Some must find it extremely obnoxiouse, but this cat with the giant blade couldve been an assassin! Jet wanted to know who she was talking to.

She pointed at the blade from atop her rock; "why the scary sword?" She mewed, as brutally honest as ever. "Oh, sorry, my name is Jet," the dancer smiled. Some cats gave an alias when they were unsure of others, but ti Jet it seemed rude. You didnt make friends that way. Besides, this tom was singing! Love for music was usually something found in more gentle souls, or at least thats what the marbled feline believed.

[mysterykitten]

"Oh, I guess I need to give myself I more proper introduction, don't I?" Marshall raised a brow as he cast a glance over to his large two-handed sword. Standing up, the soldier introduced himself. "My name's Marshall, Marshall West, First Class Legionary Soldier." he meowed, bowing to the she-cat and holding out a paw for her to shake. Every introduction he's performed the tom always puts it on a formal level, he especially needed to for this she-cat. Marshall detected uncertainty about her.

[Kitsani]

"Oh, a soldier?" Jet purred, feeling more at ease now that she knew he only used his blade for good purposes. She felt a little bad for having been suspisciouse of him, but with all thise assasins around she couldnt be too careful! She flicked hr tail with a smile. "Would you like to go for a walk with me?" She asked sincerely, "I dont really have anything to do and I have never met a soldier before." The sokoke dancer tilted her head, listening curiously fir a reply. Maybe he would get offended an trod off? She neve knew how others woukd react somtimes to her kittish nature and quiet need to get to know everybody.

[Kitsani]

Sorry for the latenessss Dx

[mysterykitten]

[[ It's quite alright<3 ]]

The soldier picked up his large sword and hooked it on the special contraption that was located on his belt. The contraption had proved itself to be very helpful in the time that he had used it. It helped him so that he didn't have to carry it with his paws all the time. "I'll go with you." Marshall replied to the sokoke dancer. "I don't have any other plans, so might as well make some more." The tom grinned, perhaps he had just made a new friend?

[Kitsani]

Jet gave a happy bounce a skipped a few feet along the shoreline before pausing with a flustered smirk; she was usually so much better behaved than this. Her mother trained her to be a sophisticated young lady, and yet there was something about the sandy beach that made it impossible to sit still. She wiuldnt admit it, but this was the first time she had ever come to the beach. The seemingly endless ocean awed her, and she swallowed down her naive cheeryness and nodded to the serious soldier, wondering if he would get offended if she saluted playfully or something.

[mysterykitten]

Marshall smiled at the sight of Jet practically jumping about the beach, it was obvious she was having fun. The tom was going at a slower pace, because of the sword, but that didn't mean he never ran with it. Sometimes he did to chase a cat down.

"So," The soldier called to the sokoke. "Do you come here a lot?" he was asking this because Marshall himself came here nearly all the time he was free just to be alone and sing. Perhaps the she-cat had heard his songs before? If so, that would be embarrassing, the tom didn't really like anyone hearing his singing. Many times he's been told that it's for females, but the soldier couldn't bring himself to think that was true.

[atrb=background,http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n533/KitsaniCat/JetforumMiddle.png] She flicked an ear, frowning inwardly. "Naah, I usually don't have time," she mewed, kicking up a bit of sand and enjoying the sound of the waves crashing against the shore. It was such a nice day out, she longed to sing. Of course, that option was immediately ruled out, however, since she wasn't alone. She had never really sung in front of others, and she'd much rather not. She danced, and she was fully contented at leaving it at that. "What about you?" She stretched her paws upwards, partially because she was bored as they walked along and partially because she occasionally fantasized about touching the clouds. Another thing nobody needs to know, of course! "I haven't seen you around before, and I've seen most cats while preforming in the squares," she mewed casually, lowering her paws again with an innocent smirk.

[mysterykitten]

Marshall waved his paws from side to side in front of his chest, dismissing the thought of performing in the squares. "No no no." the soldier shook his head. "I don't perform in public, that life isn't for me." he meowed. "I only sing in private." The tom didn't want to say that he was embarrassed about his talent, cause it would be humiliating for him to do so.

Another thing that the tom didn't say, is that he actually did want to perform out in public, a dream created after the one of becoming a soldier was fulfilled, he didn't tell the sokoke that, Marshall just met her, he wasn't gonna pour out his secrets just yet.

[atrb=background,http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n533/KitsaniCat/JetforumMiddle.png] She raised an eyebrow but smirked, "Mmkay then, well, do you dance?" Jet asked curiously, her bells tinkling as she walked along. Her paws left little imprints in the sang, and it was somewhat uncomfortable when the sand shifted to get stuck within her toes. She shook her paws a bit as she walked, "Beaches are funny," she laughed, her tail flicking as she stumbled and felt herself nearly loosing balance. She did a light twirl to regain her footing, feeling in a bubbly mood under the warm sun that totally wasn't purple with a smiley. But as cheery as she was, Jet couldnt help but have her guard up around the new cat. She had no idea who this was, really, and they carried around a huge sword. It was the nice ones you have to look out for she was told, but it seemed foolish. This tom acted like he couldn't hurt a fly, and she smirked inwardly at the thought
