Curiosity brought Nesmine from the kitchen to the store front as she observed the new guest. "You're a little young to be that blood soaked," she said, while fearlessly poking the new guest's shoulder. "How old are you anyway? Like 13? 'Cause you're a little short. Or is it just me? Kotaro? Am I freakishly tall or something, 'cause this kid seems small." Nesmine blurted out, completely unafraid of what the newcomer might do in response. She had a lot to learn about sensitive subjects.
(Ooc: Nessie's got a deathwish, lol. XD)

Mitsuru glared at the child that was poking him and shurggered her off irritably. "Get off me you little brat." He snarled in her direction turning around and his hand instinctively reached for the Xaignese blade on his waist. His hand rested on the handle, but no further. He pulled out his beautiful dragon sword. The handle had two dragons surrounding a red jem in the center. Blood leaked off the tip and onto the floor of the store. The only problem was, the tip was bent backwards and made the sword ineffective and damaged. "Can you fix it?" He asked setting the blade down on the desk for the man to see. His eyes studied the man carefully, all the while flicking back to the girl who had been so rude to him. If she had to be elimnated then so be it, but he wasn't here to spread anymore blood.

Kotaro sighed as Nesmine appeared to annoy the man. "Nesmine, your not freakishly tall, now let the kid be." He said kindly before taking the sword offered. Except for the bent blade, it was a work of art. "Xingese it looks like, very strong." He said touching the bent blade. "I know this metal." He said taking off his glove, revealing the metal transmutation circle on his palm. "Should be an easy fix." He said putting his palm on the blade. There was a spark as he began to transmute the blade. First, determine the mekeup of the object. The metal was easy to determine. Second, break it down. Third, reform it. In a second there was a flash as he transmuted the blade to its original shape. 'Hows this?" He said presenting it."

Nesmine watched Kotaro create the transmutation with awe, he was the second ever alchemist she had seen since she had left Ana, and Ana was no expert. She watched the two without a word, trying to keep quiet so as not to offend the stranger. "Wow, nice! Do you do that all the time? Maybe I should have you teach me some of that too!" She said with excitement, then turned her attention back to the stranger. "The name's Nesmine, and sorry for bothering you. I just can't help but notice you're covered in blood! Need any help? This guy's nice, he'll figure something out."

Misturu looked at the sword satisfied. He picked it up by the handle and twirled it in his hand. "Yes. It is Xaignese." He murmured simply and pulled open his clock and belted it. The other two smaller dual blades were visible for a minute as he strapped it on and pulled the cloak around him. He sighed heavily. "Alchemy. Thank you. How much do I owe you?" His voice was low, for such a young face and as he reached for his leather pouch with the money he had earned, his hood fell back revealing the swirling tattos that lined his face. His long black hair flowed unevenly down his hood. His eye widened by the mistake and he hoped they wouldn't recognize him. "I'm fine." He also said to the annoying girl standing next to him.

Kotaro smiled as the kid took the weapon in satisfaction. "Its a real beauty. Glad I could help." He said turning to the register. "$15 dollars is the repair fee.' He said looking through his variety magazine. He had noticed the other weapons he carried and wondered if he could order some. Although looking so non chalant, he was unconsciously studying the kid. Short, but had an air of seriousness around him. And the way he handled the sword showed he was no push over. The markings on his face were also unusual.

Nesmine pointed as if she knew the boy, but the only sound that came was "Coool! Where'd you get tattoos like that? Those are neat! Maybe I should get a few for my wrists. Hey, why don't you talk much? Are you hiding something?" Nesmine gasped as she began to circle the stranger, searching for anything that might prove him an enemy. "Nope, you're fine, just covered in blood... Kotaro, why are you selling to him? It's obvious there's something wrong! What if he needs medical treatment? At least a place to wash his hands after whatever he just did!"

Misturu placed the coins on the desk. He nodded a thanks, he was glad when others admired his blade. The girl had started up again. First about his tattos, then her obsessive talking and circling, medical attention and there was nothing wrong with him! He rolled his eyes as his hands clenched into fists. She was plucking his nerves. "Whatever I have done with my life is none of your bussnius and unless you want to keep your pretty little face like the way it is now, I suggest you shut up." Misturu leaned down until he was face to face with her. His eyes were cold as ice, but the red glare burned like ice. He stood up and faced the man. "Thank you again." He muttered and turned towards the door.

Kotaro gave another sigh when Nesmine started to annoy the kid again. This was just getting better and better. "Nesmine, try to give him some space. He's not hurt, its someone else's blood." He said before the kid got a bit too close to her. Kotaro's eyes narrowed. "I would rather you not threaten my friends. You'll have to forgive her, she's very curious and doesn't know any better." When he turned to leave Kotaro stopped him. 'Wait! Could you tell me if you've seen this girl?" He asked pulling out his locket and showing him the picture of his brown haired green eyed sister.

Nesmine laughed at the kid's attempt to scare her (she's 6'5"), but held her tongue when Kotaro spoke up. The last thing she wanted to do was make an enemy for her friend. "I don't take kindly to insults, but you have my apology for now. Don't try anything funny, or you'll regret it." She said in the most sincere voice she could muster. Nesmine in no way trusted the boy, but it would have to do, especially if he had leads for Kotaro.
"We're willing to pay for information, that is if your lead's real. I'm good at catching liars, so don't try and take advantage of us." She then pulled out her new $20 bill, hoping to interest the stranger. It wasn't much, but it could prove useful when you're in a situation where you never know when your next meal is coming.

Misturu's face contracted with anger as he glared at Nesmine with pure hatred. Oh, he would make sure when the time came, she would get it good, and out of his own free will. What he really wanted to do was to yank his sword out and stab it through her soft flesh, but he resisted the urge to do so.
That was until his eyes fell upon the picture, and then money. No matter who the person was, if they paid him...well that's a different story. He ran a hand through his greasy hair before speaking again, still in the quiet and low voice. "I might have seen her." A strange half-smile floating across his face.

"Don't give me a half guess." Kotaro said. "If you have seen her tell me where and I will make it worth your while." The kid seemed to be thinking something over. This was something Kotaro had seen before. If he had seen her, it was highly possible he would demand a high reward.

Nesmine carefully watched the events before her unfold, fearing that the boy was lying. She stood back, trying to carefully determine whether he was or not, as with shady characters it was hard to tell. The last thing she wanted to do was ruin Kotaro's chance on finding his sister, so she wisely held her tongue, and awaited any sudden moves that the boy might make. She returned only a confident smirk at the strangers glare and patiently waited for Kotaro to speak.

Misturu turned fully around. His leather boots clacking on the ground. "I said I might have seen her. I have been to many places and have done many things. If you want more information you'll have to be more specific." He growled narrowing his eyes even more. He then smiled again. "I'm glad you didn't recognize me. Makes my life much easier." That might have been close to the longest thing he had said in his life.

"I don't care who the hell you are, if you have possibly seen her, then I want to know where." Kotaro said. "You could be a terrorist and I wouldn't care. Have you seen her and if you have, where have you seen her?" He was starting to get fed up with this kid.
