MERCILESS IS THE FELINE'S GAZE, : OBSERVANT, ... feeding the curiosity within. ( 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐅𝐔𝐋 𝐂𝐀𝐓, 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐀𝐘𝐈𝐍𝐆! ) he, the very reason it blossomed. an mysterious enigma meets another, though, even in that they differed. FELICIA IS ONE TO CAST CHARMING MASKS, ONLY ALLOWING OTHERS TO SEE WHAT SHE WISHED THEM TO. ( ever her way. ) but choso? a mystery himself, his very being. though one could easily state what, who he is : 𝐀 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐄𝐅 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖𝐒 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐈𝐒 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐔𝐍𝐑𝐀𝐕𝐄𝐋! ... HEELS CLICK, TROUBLE FOLLOWS HER STEP. until, they come to a stop. ❝ le'ts make our way through here. ❞ hinting towards a shortcut felt like a joke, when she stared at the concrete floor underneath their feet. but her innate technique 𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐒 𝐈𝐓 𝐀𝐋𝐋 : THE PRIZE VISIBLE FOR HER EYES, even through all these layers. ... she kneels down, signature metallic claws drawn out, imbued with cursed energy : PERFECT ACCESS CRAFTED BY YOUR'S TRULY! &. as claws finishing digging into the floor, having carved a perfect circle ... the second she withdraws does part of the floor cut out go crashing down below them. &. YET, SHE ADMIRES HER WORK WITH PRIDE, ( when would she not? ) ❝ ta da ... ❞ the siren - like voice sings, mischief lacing her tune.
SHE, IF ANYONE : IS NOT A STRANGER OF BREAKING IN &. OUT.

human culture. ' ... the statement is met with crumbs of laughter ESCAPING PAST GLOSSED BLACKS, ❝ breaking and entering? ❞ she asks, after the soft chuckle passes. OPINIONS OF OTHERS NEVER AFFECTED HER, &. she had a feeling they didn't have quite the effect on him, either. so perhaps : his statement itself was edging towards humour, &. SHE WOULD PROVIDE MORE.
❝ well, let's just say, ... it is best to not get caught when you do. ❞

AS SAID BY GARRUS VAKARIAN, updated version
* assorted dialogue from the mass effect trilogy, adjust as necessary
i can't find any hard evidence.
good luck, [name]. maybe they'll listen to you.
i'm coming with you.
sometimes it feels like the rules are only there to stop me from doing my work.
i just couldn't take it anymore.
maybe i can get the job done my way for a change.
if you're wrong, we'll pay for it. but if you're right, and we did nothing, i think we'd regret it a whole lot more.
i thought you were dead.
it sure is good to see a friendly face.
at least it's not hard to find criminals here. all i have to do is point my gun and shoot.
my feelings got in the way of my better judgement.
i'll make you a deal. you get me out of here alive, and i'll tell you the whole damn thing.
nobody would give me a mirror. how bad is it?
don't make me laugh, damn it.
some women find facial scars attractive.
i'm fit for duty whenever you need me.
when i got to the meeting point, no one was there.
kill you? no. but i don't mind slowing you down a little.
what do you want from me, [name]?
i know you want to talk about this... but i don't. not yet.
it's so much easier to see the world in black and white. gray... i don't know what to do with gray.
my instincts are what got me into this mess.
never knew you had a weakness for men with scars.
well, why the hell not? there's nobody in this galaxy i respect more than you.
if we can figure out a way to make it work, then... yeah. definitely.
you're about the only friend i've got left in this screwed-up galaxy.
you don't ever have to worry about making me uncomfortable. nervous, yes... but never uncomfortable.
i brought wine.
your hair looks... good. and your waist is... very supportive.
hopefully that's not offensive in human culture.
i want something to go right. just once.
think you can win this thing, [name]?
i'm pretty sure we'll still need giant guns... and lots of them.
so... is this the part where we shake hands?
the scars are starting to fade. i remember they drove you wild.
i've been doing some more research on human customs.
glad to know my romantic skills made an impression.
let's not go there.
i can afford the good stuff.
what about you? i'm starting to see some wear and tear.
don't forget to come up for air. and not just because all these people need you. because i need you.
if you're suggesting i'm scared... game on.
still trying to make me blush, huh?
i'd be lying if i said i didn't hope it would inspire a certain... mood.
it seemed like you needed time to... figure us out.
the worst part about the galaxy going to hell would've been never getting to see you again.
not saying you don't know how to handle a gun. just saying some of us know how to make it dance.
i've actually seen you dance. no comment.
i know there are other things you're good at.
probably not a lot of air in here. an hour if we're lucky.
so tell me. think a girl would fall for that?
it gets even better when you try it in bed.
you don't lack for places to get lost.
did we break anything last night?
you'll find a way to win. and when this is over, i'll be waiting for you.
if this thing goes sideways and we both end up there... meet me at the bar. i'm buying.
forgive the insubordination, but your boyfriend has an order for you.
come back alive. it'd be an awfully empty galaxy without you.
we're in this 'til the end.
we didn’t kill these people. and we’re going to shut down the bastards who did.
looks like we’ve got a siege on our hand.
if anyone needs fresh clips or a bathroom break, now’s the time.
oh crap!
guess he didn’t like the food.
looks like we got the jump.
pretty extreme, but those were desperate times.
we won’t get a second chance.
that was me, sorry.
nothing like being stranded.
we’ll do more than that.
just the usual minor flesh wound.
what would these people have done if we hadn’t shown up?
i was there when you two had your thing, remember? just get a room and work it out.
stay angry. we’ll need it to get through this.
drinks will be on me.
one of my favorite places to fight!
i’m hard to kill. you should know that.
it’s gonna be bad all over.
for whatever it’s worth, i’m with you.
you’ve waited long enough for this day.
just wait ‘til this war is over.
you came along and warmed my heart with your winning personality.
maybe you’d like to go work for them instead?
how do i not have one of those?
surprise on our side for once. i like it.
brutal, but it makes a certain kind of sense.

WAS THIS DANGEROUS? : DEFINITELY. does it deter them? NOT A CHANCE! on the contrary, it is the 𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐒𝐄𝐄𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓 that yearns to drink its' fill ... danger faced with smug smirk upon her features, CONFIDENCE RADIATING FROM HER VERY BEING! ... 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐅𝐀𝐓𝐀𝐋𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐃 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐀𝐃𝐕𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐒,
( her foes would say an unfair one ) from the odd - bending ability to her heightened physical abilities, she was bound to succeed. but this mission was not her's alone, as greedy as the cat might tend to be, responsibilities must be shared in order to achieve a shared goal. ❝ i do hate sharing, ... but think you can handle it? ❞ MASKED GAZE SEARCHES FOR CLAIRE'S : SHARP EYES SCANNING FOR AN ANSWER BEFORE IT IS EVEN GIVEN! ... there was a hint of dare embedded into her smooth tune.
NOW IT WAS ONLY LEFT TO SEE, : WHETHER THE BAIT WAS BITTEN! &. not that felicia would admit to it easily, but she had recognized 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐒𝐀𝐌𝐄 𝐆𝐋𝐈𝐌𝐌𝐄𝐑 in claire's eyes, for it resides in her own. ( takes one to know one, &. so on. ) THE SPARK THAT YEARNS FOR ACTION, THAT IS NOT SATISFIED WITH REMAINING STILL! ... so perhaps, the response does not come as a surprise @rescuefield ' i'm a real tough kid, i can handle my shit. ' &. 𝐀𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐄𝐕𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐍𝐓 in that smirk of her's, leaking with trouble! ❝ good. ❞ the statement is breathed out, satisfied with the answer she anticipated. she turns her back, as for this part of the job they had to part. ❝ my luck can't reach you all the way out there, so, try to not to die. ❞ a wave of her hand, as if to shoo away responsibility, AS HER FIGURE GETS LOST IN THE SHADOWS!

TROUBLE EMBODIED, : THE SMIRK WORN BY GLOSSED BLACKS A FOREWARNING OF WHAT SHE RADIATES! &. she does little to deny this, ... 𝐈𝐓 𝐈𝐒 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐎𝐖𝐍 𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐖𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐕𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐑𝐄𝐏𝐔𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍! she observes from just far enough, shadows shielding her figure : embracing this sneaky feline. the fight ensued by her, CURIOUS GAZE OBSERVED THE SCENE, seeing to which side do the odds tilt in favor to. ( this time, her paws were pristine, out of blame : after all, this had yet to favor her in any way, so why lift a finger? )
&. ONLY WHEN THE RESULTS WERE PROVIDED, : DID THE SIREN'S SONG ECHO, ❝ well well, what a show that was. ❞ &. heels hit the ground, ( as cats always land on their feet ) 𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐄𝐅𝐔𝐋𝐋𝐘 &. 𝐒𝐈𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐋𝐘. the enchanting smirk had yet to fade, on the contrary : it seemed that the cheshire cat had possessed those lush lips! @narrativ + rocket ' do you stick your head into everyone's business, or just mine? ' &. to this, THE CAT BURGLAR MERELY SHRUGS, an amused chuckle spilling from her tongue. ❝ can you blame a girl for being curious? that is not a crime, is it? ❞ NOT THAT THE CAT WOULD BE BOUND BY RULES IN ANY CASE! she makes her own.

WHAT A CURIOUS THING, : THE WAY THESE TWO COOPERATED! it was just mere moments ago, 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐀𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐎 𝐒𝐂𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇. ( her words having done so already, he was just as ready to bite. ) &. yet here they are now : as if they weren't competing, as if they weren't against each other ... as if they truly cared for one another. AMUSEMENT IS EVIDENT UPON LUSH LIPS, painted iconically black. even whilst dangerous surrounds them, humor was sprinkled into the atmosphere. AFTER ALL, MORE WAS NEEDED TO MAKE HER FUR RISE! ... 𝐒𝐇𝐄 : who so adored the thrill of danger!
THE FELINE FATALE LEAPS AS WELL, : TROUBLE FOLLOWING EVERY STEP! ... each bullets just miss her, as she runs towards the cover of a tree trunk near the abandoned wagon. SHARP GAZE HAS CAPTURED what he confirms : three more to go. ... a moment of silence from her, ( 𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐔𝐍𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐀𝐋, 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐒𝐈𝐋𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐓𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐔𝐄! ) she inspects her hands, upon her fingertips remained the sharp, lethal methal she had embedded into each tip of her fingers : HER CLAWS! ... quickly, she looks over to the wagon where he is, ❝ be ready to cover for me! ❞ IT IS NOT A PLEA, IT IS A DEMAND! she turns, waiting for the empty clicks, a moment to re - load ... &. when it comes,
❝ now! ❞ SHE BOUNCES, RUNNING TOWARDS THE ENEMIES! ready to take them down the best way she knows how : close combat.
her little offhand comment about the aim of these damned strangers makes arthur laugh in spite of himself , and of the shots that ring out around them . ❝ apparently they ain't learned to shoot from anyone who matters ! ❞ another sharp whistle whizzes past them , the singing of a bullet that missed its mark and the rock they're hidden behind . he's sure it can't take much more before it cracks or explodes , leaving them without any more cover , but he'd like not to take any bullets in him today if he can help it .
the smile he'd had on his face with his laugh is gone again , replaced with thin concentration . he doesn't see the man who takes aim at him , but he hears felicia's shot , and the yell of a man stricken with pain . he joins in again , emptying his lungs and shooting once , twice , thrice , each in a different head , and each hitting their intended targets .
there are only a few people left , enough that arthur can count them without the need of a hand anymore . he signals to felicia that he's heading closer and makes another run for it , sprint toward a fallen , horseless wagon and diving beneath it . a shot grazes his calf , and he can feel it rip through the cloth of his jean . a small bit of pain flares near the tendon , but it's not terrible enough he can't ignore it . he curls behind the wood , groaning loudly . ❝ three more ! ❞ he calls to her .
