[style=padding: 0px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10px; text-align: justify; color: black; height: 300px; width: 300px; overflow: auto]Boy wig, boy clothes, boy posture, yup. Altair was ready to go with this mission. She didn't care whether she had to dress up as a girl or a boy to get what she wanted.

With a kind of scowl on her face (her usual expression), she leaned her back against the trunk of the tree she had climbed, her legs laying out in front of her and her arms crossed. Sitting on a tree branch wasn't so difficult for her since she had done that so many times in her childhood. The tree she had chosen to climb was situated a few feet away from the entrance of the public bathhouse. It would have been rather stupid to stand in front of the building. Anyone would have been suspicious of her.

She turned her head toward the horizon. The sun was beginning to set. Her target would be coming here soon. Men of all ages and sizes walked to and fro from the bathhouse although each had a worried look on their faces, as if they were expecting someone to come, or something to happen. Altair didn't stop herself from thinking she might have to go in there in order to capture the peeping tammy cat. Anything could happen. She just had to be prepared.

She looked down at herself. Wearing boy clothes was actually quite useful in some ways. She wasn't hit on by men as often although she'd get some looks of interest from women. She sighed, wondering when her partner would show up. She hadn't been able to learn who exactly it was. Hopefully it was someone with some brains and not all brawn.[/style][style=margin-top: 15px][/style]

Well...this was an interesting situation that Lyon had gotten himself into. He had been hanging around the town of Alba looking for a ship that he could work on so that he could see if he could find someone who knew who he was...but so far he couldn't find anything in work...except a plea of help from some shy men who used the local bath house here in town. Apparently they have been stalked several times by a peeping Tammy...which Lyon assumed was a woman, or a very perverted man. Lyon was also unsure of the apparent partner that would be working on this mission with him, hopefully he would be a smart person, so that the explanations he would have to make would be a minimum.

Lyon arrived at the bath house as the sun was setting, he saw several men of different shapes and sizes walk into the bath house, if the culprit was going to strike it would be soon. Lyon walked up to the side of the bath house and rested his back on the side of it, looking around at all the faces of the crowd. He would wait for his partner before he would enter the bath house...he wondered what his partner would look like, he was unaware if anyone was in the tree that was nearby...it wasn't his problem though, he would just watch and wait, his partner would reveal himself soon enough...

[style=padding: 0px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10px; text-align: justify; color: black; height: 300px; width: 300px; overflow: auto]Altair had just been looking at her ring when she spotted someone standing in front of the bathhouse. Was it her target? She turned her head to look and frowned. It wasn't her target. Who was it then? Maybe she shouldn't care.

Sighing, she wondered when her partner was going to get there. She looked at the boy again. Wait a minute...he looked familiar. Where had she seen-IT WAS THAT BOY FROM BEFORE!! She almost fell off the tree from shock but caught herself. What was that kid doing here?! Was he following her? Coincidence? Surely he wasn't here to take a bath. That didn't seem like him at all. But what did she know about him? She had only met him that one time.

She thought for a moment about what she should do. The rings or her mission? She decided the rings were far more important.

She jumped off the tree branch, landed on her feet, and after straightening up, headed toward the boy. When she was close enough to be heard, she said to the boy, "So. We meet again." Forgetting the possibility that the kid might not know it's her (she was still wearing men's clothes), she greeted him as if they were long standing rivals.

"What are you here for? Simply standing in one place, as if waiting for someone, makes you suspicious."

Altair did not fail to take notice of someone else's presence nearby. Perhaps it was the perverted girl, finally pouncing.[/style][style=margin-top: 15px][/style]

Well, lucky for Lyon it seemed that it didn't take long for someone to approach him, he saw it all, a young male...well someone who looked to be a young male jump from the tree nearby and made there way toward him, when the boy got into speaking distance of Lyon he heard the boy speak up...but the voice wasn't right for a boy. In fact it sounds like a familiar female voice to him...and then he remembered where he heard that voice before. It was the girl who wanted to see his ring from before!

Funny, Lyon would have asked her why she was dressed up like a boy...but he figured it was just something weird she liked to do. She she said that him standing there was looking suspicious. Lyon just smiled gently and said, "Well if you must know I'm here staking out the place while waiting for my partner. I'm here to catch a peeping tammy who has been terrorizing these poor men...though i have to say it's strange seeing you here...i wonder..." But Lyon was startled by a noise that came from a near by bush. He walked over to it, hopeing that the culprit would be in it...but it was just a squirrel. Lyon laughed...he knew this job wasn't going to be that easy...but he could hope. He would turn back to the young girl and say, "Anyways, what brings you here? Certainly you don't need to use a male bath house do you?"

[style=padding: 0px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10px; text-align: justify; color: black; height: 300px; width: 300px; overflow: auto]The feeling of wanting to strike the boy with a frying pan came back at full throttle. Was he making fun of her?! Of course she didn't need to use the men's bath house, nor did she ever want to see one naked. She gave him a look of utter loathing.

But what he had said did strike a chord. He was waiting for his partner? Oh, God. He didn't mean her did he? Had he been waiting for her? Please, no. Anything but that. Altair did not want to cooperate with someone like him. No...no.... Nooo...!

She had to think fast! Maybe she could just say she was passing by. But why the heck would she have talked to him she was just passing by?! She definitely would have just ignored him! Nothing she was coming up with helped her at all. In the end, she would have to stay with him because the mission was for the both of them to complete. If she didn't stay with him, they'd fail the mission.

Wait a minute.... That meant if he went away, she'd fail as well! There goes the plan of lying to him about a burning village he should go save. What should she do now...? Hmm.... This required serious thinking.

"I'm not here to take a bath!" she said angrily, stomping her foot and glaring at him. "I'm here for the same reason you are...I guess." She sounded annoyed. [/style][style=margin-top: 15px][/style]

Lyon just laughed innerly to himself. Apparently he knew just how to press this weird girls buttons, because her usual demeanor from the last time he saw her instantly changed to show that she was very flustered. In fact it took her a few minutes before she finally answered his questions. She yelled and stomped her foot, saying that she didn't need a bath, and then after glaring at Lyon, said that she was here for the same reason he was. Lyon just simply smiled, he like picking on this random girl. "Oh so your my partner then huh? Well then it will be nice working with you. Our best bet will be to split up and talk to the men inside about the tammy, and see if we can get some information about her habits. Maybe we can find her before she strikes...though i think the best course is going to be for us is to catch her in the act, so what do you think?"

Lyon would stand up off the wall and wait for the girls response while smiling at her with his hands place comfortably in his pockets. He hoped that she would agree...he much wanted a smart partner...maybe she would be one...or maybe not...only time will tell.

[style=padding: 0px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10px; text-align: justify; color: black; height: 300px; width: 300px; overflow: auto]He smiled?! Why that little...! She had just told him why she was there and the reply he gave her was a smile?! Where was a frying pan when one needed it?! Ooohhh, that guy...! Altair grit her teeth and her fists shook.

"Well then, it will be nice working with you,"

[/color] he said. Altair said no such thing in reply and simply stared away from him haughtily, her cheeks puffed up in a pout-y way. He went on with a plan of action and when he stopped, he smiled at her again. What was with this guy and smiling?! Was he trying to make her angry?! Oohh.... She wanted to punch him in the ear.

"We should either catch her in the act or before it. Both ways are fine," she said, looking at the bathhouse.

Suddenly, she heard something. It sounded like people whispering from somewhere nearby in a hidden area. Was it the pervert girl? Had she caught wind they were onto her and had brought friends along to help? Without saying anything, Altair attempted to lung right at the annoying kid to bring them both tumbling into the bushes. They had to get out of sight as fast as they could and this was the best way to do it. Besides, it gave her a reason to harm him, which she was not opposed to.[/style][style=margin-top: 15px][/style]

Lyon's face went back to it's melancholy expression. He didn't want to tease her too much, but he had to admit that the pouty face she was making at the moment was alittle cute to him. She agreed with his plan she suddenly lunged into Lyon pushing him and herself into the near by bush. Lyon landed with a thump, which kinda hurt his back a bit, but what made him feel uncomfortable was the fact that she was on top of him in a bush. He wondered why when he peered from the bush a few men who from the looks of them had been hard at work earlier in the day decided to go and have a bath before going home.

Lyon looked at the girl with a questioning stare...she must have thought that the group was with the tammy...but why would she think that? Lyon just let out a small sigh and picked himself up off the ground and out of the bush before saying. "Okay, well that was fun, but I'm going in to ask around about the tammy, you can stay out here if you like, or come inside...but remember to keep a low profile...I wouldn't want them to think your the tammy now wouldn't we?" with that he made his way inside, ready to start looking for some clues...
