Kin smirked. Just a small curve of her lips, barely noticeable, but the amusement was plain in her voice. "You didn't see the picture?" She shrugged, "Perhaps they consider fox a delicacy. Or maybe they're a collector. Our target isn't just any ordinary woman so it makes sense." She rolled her eyes, "Maybe if we want to get our money making skills down, we should just start dealing with Champions."
Out in the desert heat, she immediately felt the sun upon what skin she had exposed. She looked to the side, her cloak fluttering aimlessly. Had it gotten shorter?
"How long do you suppose our journey will take?" Kin asked without looking up.

Ray looked back at the picture, then chuckled under his mask. "If you ask me, I think she is worth every ounce he is going to pay for her. Hell, she looks so good I might end up keeping her for myself."
As he walked, he thought about hunting champions for a living. People sure would pay a lot of money for a girl like Nidalee. He kept the thought to himself as he was sure Kin wasn't being serious with the idea.
When Kin asked her next question, Ray readjusted the bag on his shoulder as well as his gun. Knowing that they'd be walking for awhile, he wanted to be as comfortable as he could. "We should arrive in Ionia in three to four weeks. As for capturing and transporting her, that's up to us."
A hint of laughter could be heard in his voice as he spoke. "Why do you ask? Got a hot date scheduled? Did you meet somebody at that kid's party?"

James kept his usual pace, chuckling at the thought of their contact wanting Ahri as a delicacy or the like. Although the idea Kin proposed of hunting champions for a living intrigued him
"That wouldn't be too bad a living at all" He said casually,"Though speaking of that kid's party, I can't believe that light mage managed to cause such a problem for me. Maybe I should've just drained her dry when I had the chance..."
James went silent again, debating if he should drain anyone they encountered along their way. It'd been a while since he had actually drained someone of their life essence, it somewhat sated a hunger within him that he had since his first visit to his grandfathers library and been changed by the contents he found in it. He didn't want Kin or Ray to notice that part about him though, not yet at least.

"Then you'll be paying us for our troubles," Kin responded casually, despite knowing that Ray wasn't being completely serious. "I was under the impression that you would disregard anything for gold, though I could be wrong." She shrugged. It made them sound like money hungry thieves but really, when it came to her, there was nothing else. Besides, it was this single goal that kept the trio together. Or at least, that was what she believed.
When her inquiry was answered, Kin merely nodded. So she had enough time to think of what she should do. It would be difficult to capture a Champion who was so slippery, especially when the target was to be kept alive. That would be a little difficult, but she supposed it could be fun if approached in the right way. As to Ray's quip, she did not look at him. Instead, she directed her smirk to the shifting sands. "I may have. Jealous?"
Chuckling, she threw a glance at James in all his hooded glory. "Wasn't she a Champion? Now I'm beginning to worry about your capabilities, Mister Hyers."

"Me? Jealous?" Ray scoffed as he dropped his bag and rolled up his sleeves to reveal his arms. Raising them both up, he flexed them in a direct response to Kin. "I could get any girl I want at any time! There's a reason they call me the gun man."
Ray kept his "guns" raised as he continued on about himself. "These alone make girls quiver in their boots, don't get me started about what happens when the mask comes off."

James didn't respond to Kin, he'd just show them both later what he could really do when he put his mind to something. Instead he'd keep silent till he found it fitting for him to speak, so when Ray stopped to flex he just kept his usual blank expression and waited till he and Kin were done flirting with each other so they could get a move on.

"Your bags are going to be filled with sand." Kin said, her voice somewhat indifferent to Ray's boasting tone. It was nothing new, after all. But she did stop and turn to look at the sniper with a critical gaze. "Lets see..." Her eyes roamed up and down the figure, her expression unchanging save for the small furrow in her brow.
"So if they aren't wearing boots...?" She smirked, knowing that Ray's words were empty. "Now put those away before you hurt yourself. Or if you enjoy a blood clot, you can keep those up too." Kin darted forward and nicked Ray's bag before throwing it at James. "Hold onto that for Ray. Otherwise he won't be able to flex for our pretty target."
Ray, without a word went over to James and took his own bag back, his sleeves rolled down to protect his arms from the sun. "I'm perfectly capable of holding my own bag. As a matter of fact..."
His hands went and snatched James' bag from him, swinging it around onto his back along with his own. "I can carry all three of them no problem."
Ray's bag was no doubt the heaviest, filled with all his extra cartridges and magazines, as well as the necessary survival tools. That along with his rifle were already a lot to carry, when he added James' bag, his pace was nearly cut in half as the extra bag immediately weighed him down.

James was about to snap at Kin for forcing him to carry another bag when Ray came back and took back his own as well as James's. Shaking his head slightly he stepped up his pace and caught up be side Kin.
"Since we're showing off.. why don't you show us some of that magic you pride yourself in Kin?"
He grinned underneath his hood, he was genuinely interested in Kin's shadow arts and was hoping she would comply and give them a show. If she did he'd have to make mental notes on it so eventually he could perform it himself, if not there was always their future travels together.

"I'll give you about an hour or less before you give up," Kin said, arching an eyebrow at Ray. She could see the way the extra luggage caused his arms to sag slightly. But she kept that to herself, smirking beneath her mask. Though she didn't know what the sniper carried around, he always seemed to have enough to do the job right. In contrast to that, it appeared James' own backpack was light - she was surprised he hadn't brought along an entire library.
When said Noxian fell in step next to her, she turned with a slight scowl. "It's not magic," she responded, "It's an art form and I refuse to show it off like a circus act." Though the duo knew of her skills, she had never shown them outside of a mission or fight. It was a... lesson that had she had beaten into her during her time in the Shadow Order and one she wasn't likely to forget.
She shook her head. "You two can continue monkeying around but we need to quicken our pace. We're moving far too slow." Though Kin wasn't usually so upstart, she was tense and for good reason. She wanted to get the mission over and done with and leave Ionia before anything terrible happened.

Without a word, Ray immediately began to pick up his pace. Kin's doubtful words being used as fuel to help him push forward. Straining his muscles, to keep both bags, as well as his rifle, on his shoulders. He'd prove her wrong even if it would slowly kill him.
After making sure he was comfortable where the bags were, he began catching up to both of them, staying silent to better focus on keeping the bags up. He walked faster as Kin mentioned they were walking too slow.

James frowned from under his hood and silently acknowledged Kin's refusal to show off her 'arts' and just picked up his pace to a slight jog to catch up to Ray attempting to get his attention without Kin's notice.
"Call it strange, but I think somethings up with Kin. We're making a fine pace and yet she thinks we're moving too slow."
Post by Ray Famas on Sept 18, 2013 10:00:56 GMT -5
Ray's eyes stayed forward when James spoke to him, he didn't want to shift his weight to one side in fear of falling over. Too focused on what he was doing at the time, he didn't think about why Kin wanted them to pick up their speed. "She's probably just in a hurry to get paid, aren't you?"
That's all he could say before having to switch all of his focus back on to keeping the bags on his shoulders as he kept walking through the desert.

James shrugged, money was nice and all since it bought him the various spellbooks he studied from time to time. Maybe she was just in a hurry to get their reward since it was an Ionian capture, who knew? He decided to just forget about it and keep moving, hopefully they were almost out of Morgon's Pass.
