[[worst title ever xD sorry]]
The sun was high up in the sky over Crescent. Julian walked through the busy market place with a long list of groceries "I really don't see why I had to get the freakin' groceries..." He said obviously disgruntled.
He went around to some stores buying various items off of the list. When he finished he bought some lunch and sat down near a wall. He stuck out pretty obviously in the Market.
His cat ears were visible to almost everyone in the crowd, and if someone got near enough to him they ran the risk of stepping on his spotted tail. He munched on a loaf of bread as he watched the people walk by. Some of them recognized him, some didn't. He was, after all, the foster son of one of the most famous families in Crescent, the Manson family.
Julian continued to eat his make-shift lunch in silence.

The attack on the gate was the perfect distraction for the wolf. She grinned, trotting into the back entrance with ease. Her sole goal here was to find the contact within Crescent and find out what he knew, then report back to the head of intelligence (a title which often made her snicker) in the Dragon Highlands.
She had been secretly wandering the streets all the day before, scooting along the sides of the stalls, hiding around bends. For one so large, Chiaroscuro was a master of stealth. She wasn't sure who the contact was, but she was told that they would stand near the center on the square come midnight until she arrived.
The sun was high right now, so she had no reason to be out other than to get food. For what reason she found herself in the marketplace, she didn't know. She reasoned with herself that it was the craps of food left by unobservant humans.
Scooting along behind the stalls, not even noticed by a mouse, she made her way across the center. If someone had spotted her, no one made any attempt to say anything.
Calm down, she told herself. If they spot you, you can feign ignorance and speech and pass off as a house pet. Though, she indeed knew she was much too large for that.

Julian, who was still slowly working on his lunch, paused. Looking up he could have sworn he heard something nearby, something big. His senses were higher than a normal humans, but the market place was way to busy for him to be sure. If it was quieter then he would have gotten up to investigate it, but he figured it was probably some child playing somewhere nearby.
Julian stood up and stretched, leaving his half eaten lunch on the ground. He figured no one would touch it, because they al had seen him eating there before. He ran off to get a quick drink from a vendor and get the last few things on the list.

Stupid human, Chiaro grinned, watching the boy leave some bread on the bench. She grinned, snapping out from behind the stall for a split second. The bread was gone the next second, pleasing her empty stomach.
She settled down in her hiding spot, not far from the source of her meal and waited. He might be back with more.

Julian came back with his final bag of groceries and saw that his lunch was snatched "aw you've got to be kidding me" He mumbled. setting the bag down, he was still hungry and he guessed some stupid kid had taken the rest of his lunch. He was about to pull out another thing to eat, when he thought he saw what looked like a tail. He walked closer too it too see what it was, after maneuvering around a bunch or stalls he found a little hiding spot, with a large animal inside, he froze

Oh crap... Chiaro stared at the face before her. It was the human...er rather the cat-human, she had stolen the food from.
She silently panicked, though her expression remained cool. What was it that dogs said around here?
"...uh...arf?"

Julian stared at the dog for a few moments "how many people are you thinking your gonna fool with a crap bark like that?" He asked
their spot here was completely hidden from view from the people in the market, but it was also very closed in. It had no other exits and Julian was blocking it

Chiaro said nothing. She wasn't sure what side this thing was on, so she tried playing dumb.
"Arf...woof?"

Julian rolled his eyes "you ate my lunch...WHY!?" He asked "besides, if you were a normal dog you probably wouldn't have taken my lunch away and hidden. You would have just eaten it there. then torn apart the rest of the bags because they have food in them as well." He deduced.

Chiaro mouthed a curse for not noticing the other bags. Really, she had forgotten how to mimic a regular dog, she was so used to speaking intelligently.
"Ok, dude, listen," she started. "I can't tell you why I'm here, just that I'm here. Jeez," she added, rubbing the back of her head with a paw.
If she revealed even her true nature here, she could be killed. She hated sounding like a carefree pup, but her real self would place her in great danger.

Julain stared at the dong for a little while longer.
"so....you're 'just here'?" He repeated. then he rolled his eyes "you just expect me to believe your just a harmless talking dog? I'm not that dumb"
and in saying this he reached into his pocket and flipped out a knife

"Hey, kid, no need for violence. I'm not gonna like...kill you or anything," she added, putting her paws up defensively. She longed to stop speaking in this vernacular. She swore it killed brain cells. "Can't we like...come to an agreement?" She scooted back until her hind end hit the brinks behind her. She was trapped.

"you might not, but your obviously not with the humans." He said he then reached up and used the knife to cut off a piece of rope that hung nearby. He tied it in a loop then looked at the dog
"you want an agreement? fine, leave crescent now and don't come back" He stated clearly

This human was disgusting. She was here to do a job, and he wasn't going to stop her.
"Listen, I don't want to cause a scene," she tried one more time. "Can't we discuss this rationally?"

Julian rolled his eyes "why? its not like you all discuss things rationally, your just going to go back and report to the other beasts or dragons or whatever. I just want you out of here"
He said this, still in the exitway.if she tried to run then he would be able to either catch her or stab her
