тнє вєαυту αη∂ тнє вℓση∂є [Private]

((xD Shweet x3
By the way, I think I said Sebastian had brown hair earlier. He has black hair...My bad xD))

Sebastian yawned, growing a bit tired. He wasn't exactly nocturnal or anything--he just didn't sleep. It probably wasn't healthy, but it didn't seem to affect him much. "Then we should get there soon. Hop on," he paused, growing larger and changing form until he was a large black horse. He flicked his tail, waiting for Shikon to jump on. He wouldn't be as tired going there in some kind of animal form, and this wasn't exactly your average 'prince charming on a white horse' story, but it was close.

((My bad xD))

The horse tossed it's head in what resembled a nod, and then he was off. Sebastian ran at a steady trot, slow enough for the dog to keep up but quickly enough for them to make it to the cave in a matter of minutes. As he planned, they were already crashing through the forest in just under five; however, he slowed down, smelling others nearby. It wasn't often large groups of people randomly ventured into the forest--certainly not armed with gunpowder, which he also smelled strongly in the air. He finally slowed to a stop, kicking up dirt as he did so.

Sebastian trotted forward some, a familiar scent flooding over him. And then he heard voices, one of them very distinct; Jace. He glanced back at Shikon, who was a little ways away, wondering if she'd heard too.

"I'll go see who it is. Try to keep Buster here--I don't want him to alert whoever it is of our arrival," he said to her, in his human form, before disappearing ahead. As he walked, he once again shifted, but this time into a smaller form--a snake. He slithered over the leaves, looking deadly than any snake you'd ever see; what, with his strange coloration--pure black, with a silver gleam. It was like some species from a horror movie.

He neared the cave, and slithered in unnoticed, Jace caught in an argument with the woman, and the guards not bothering to look at the ground; no, they were looking for people, not a snake. The woman had failed to mention to them that the man they happened to be looking for was an expert shapeshifter, quite a valuable face. Sebastian slithered in behind poor Jace, and before the boy realized what was happening, he dropped to the ground unconscious from a bite from Sebastian. The woman blinked, looking as if she wasn't sure what happened.

((Oh, cool .3.
Yeah, let's. That just means we have to keep up our muse...No biggie...))

Sebastian shifted back into his human form, his usual dazzling smile gone. He was frowning now, down at Jace. "You might as well come inside," he called to Shikon, who he could smell standing outside the cave. "No point in standing around out there. I think these people have business to do with you," he said, not noticing the flicker of recognition passing across the woman's face.

((Same, cept different reason x3))

Sebastian blinked, his frown deepening. "Really? Then why--," he paused, raising a hand and plucking a shiny, silver object from the air as it suddenly flew towards him out of nowhere at an impossibly fast speed; it was amazing anyone could have reflexes like that. Now looking straight at the woman, after a moment of silence, he lowered the object so that it was level with his eyes. "You just shot a tranquilizer dart at me. Why?" He questioned calmly, studying it before letting it drop to the floor. The woman's eyes widened, and she now looked afraid. She kept quiet, saying nothing.

Sebastian blinked, glancing at Shikon. "He'll be fine," he said slowly, slipping his hand into his pocket and pulling out a tiny glass vial filled with a clear liquid. "As long as he takes this. I'll make sure he does later."

Sebastian slid the antidote to the venom of his bite--in any venomous form--back into his pocket, falling silent and listening as Shikon took the stage.

After gaining a bit of nerve, the woman cleared her throat. "Y-yez, of courze. Ve are here for ze boy," she said, pointing a thin finger at Sebastian. "Or, ze zhing, if you vill."

Sebastian frowned once more, looking just as confused as Shikon.
-
"Eet eez not your buzinezz," the woman snapped, getting her fierceness back. "Now, if you vill?" She motioned for Sebastian to follow her, but he stayed put. "Come now, boy. I do not vant to vazte any more time, leaving you here vith zat girl." She decided to try to take another route, and glanced at Shikon. "Look, you are in danger, he needz to be in captivity."

Sebastian remained silent, as if they weren't talking about him.
-
"You are a ztupid girl, we did zhiz to keep you zafe!" The woman barked, annoyance flashing in her slate grey gaze. "Now, I do not need to reazon vith you. Zebaztian, come, now."
-
Sebastian looked as if he were about to finally speak up for himself, but a tranquilizer dart had embedded itself in his shoulder before he could. He blinked, wincing slightly as he plucked it out, and sighed. "You people really won't listen to reason, will you?" He muttered, swaying slightly on his feet.

"What eez eet vith you kidz and your ztupid, zilly gamez?!" The woman shouted, way past the point of mad. She said a few brisk words in Russian, and the guards were on Shikon in an instant. Before they could reach her, however, there was a large black tiger in their way, a vicious snarl on its face. It leaped at the nearest guard, pinning him and growling down in his face. The poor man looked just about ready to call it quits, but Sebastian did nothing. The other guard, looking alarm, made as if to run off, but before he escaped, a boom echoed throughout the cave walls. The tiger let out a roar, followed by a dull thud as he fell aside and onto the ground, and the men disappeared from view, scrambling out of the cave. The woman didn't look any happier, though. She stared at Shikon as if they were feuding sisters, making no move to disarm her.
