Jeremy ended his directions as Fituna pulled the truck up to a worn down warehouse. She stopped the truck and looked around. "Well... this is it. Everybody file out." She smiled at everyone before pulling the keys out and getting out of the truck.
Jeremy and Kuro followed suit, making sure the coast was for sure clear. It was. They walked over to Fituna, waiting for further instruction.
"Lets go take a look at these 'rats' Vikktor spoke of." She started off towards the smaller door of the warehouse.

Yazoo left the car, holstering his weapons again and slamming the door closed behind him. His arm suddenly stung... What... He looked. There was a cut there... Oh, yeah. Got that in the fight... I forgot all about it. He narrowed his eyes towards the warehouse. Let's hope the "rats" in there don't smell it. I might want to warn the others... He shrugged off the idea. We have no bandages anyway. I'll just have to deal with it.
He followed Fituna, ready to cover her.

Fituna lead the way into the empty warehouse, noting the sleeping birds and strewn garbage. She sighed slightly before spotting a place that looked close to an office space. She walked around a pile of boxes and into the more closed off area. "Lets set up camp here. If anyone were to come in for any reason, they couldn't see us...."
Jeremy and Kuro looked to Fituna for permission before going off to search the building more thoroughly. They split off and rummaged through stuff.

Yazoo stayed with Fituna, moving a few boxes and such around to make the space a little less conspicuous. By the time he was finished, the place was fronted by what looked like a largish stack of boxes with a canvas draped over it. He stood back to inspect his handiwork, but unfortunately, the price of his clever disguise was the re-opening of his cut. It wasn't a deep wound or a serious one, but it still stung. And it wouldn't do to have his green blood dripping on the floor, anyway... there could be no sign of their presence here. He sighed and decided to swallow his pride. "Fituna, did you bring anything bandage-like along with your other salvages?" He kept his hand over the cut to keep any more blood from draining out.

Fituna was reading through a file and was slightly startled when he spoke. She looked over and frowned slightly before thinking. She slipped out of her coat and fumbled with the hem of a layer of her dress. She wasn't fond of the thing anyway. She ripped off a good length before walking over to him. "Yeah, but here let me help you...." She had a feeling he would ask sooner or later. She had got him good with her knife earlier.
Jeremy peaked over a tilted over partition wall before motioning to Kuro. The two boys moved around the rubble to investigate.

He held still, unreasonably tense. He couldn't make his taut muscles loosen up at all as he let her bandage him... he felt like he should have been doing SOMETHING but couldn't imagine what. He merely watched her silently, hoping she wouldn't notice the difference between his normal reserved silence and his "too tense to think of anything to say" silence.
As upset as his mental balance had been of late, he hadn't given much outward sign, as usual... Maybe she hasn't noticed yet. But there was a dangerous buzzing at the back of his head... the same one he felt when he went berserk fighting the Sin back at the Village. The one that meant sooner or later, something was going to give...

Fituna wasn't paying much attention to his reactions as she inspected the wound she had made. She frowned slightly before looking back and slightly up, at him. "Yazoo... I need you to take your coat off. It would make this so much easier." She said patiently, not wanting to screw up. She had bandaged gashes and wounds numerous times so this wasn't new to her... but she was still hesitant to do this anyway. He's tense... most likely not liking the lack of space between us.... He asked me for help though, so no backing out now. Besides, I can't just let him bleed like this...

((YAAAY!!! MATERIA HERO! GO NIKKY!))
Yazoo went positively rigid at her request. He mentally smacked himself around a little bit, pulled himself together, and removed the coat, lying it over his other arm. This shirt underneath was a skintight black opaque mesh, mostly just there to keep the coat from irritating his skin. He could practically feel her exhalations through it... which put a serious strain on his nerves. In one way, he hated her beng so close... it drove him insane... but in another, he didn't mind at all. He almost... liked it.
He looked back at her. "Better?" Big mistake... A fraction of a second too late, he realized he was looking into her eyes. And worse, he seemed incapable of looking away...

((O.O SWEET! ^^ GO ME!! WOOT WOOT lol))
Fituna watched his internal struggle before smiling a bit. "Perfect. Thank you...." She looked back at him, more watching him then anything. Keeping his gaze, Fituna moved quickly to mend up the wound on his arm. She tied the knot snugly and dropped her hands to her sides lightly, still watching him. "There... all done." Her smile grew a little as she stayed put without really paying attention.
Kuro and Jeremy searched around before Jeremy yelped. "Rats!" He chased it off just as Kuro chased off a group of them. They continued their servey of the surroundings after they saw no more rats.

He nodded back to her. "You're welcome, and thank you, very much." Geez, that shade of blue... something about it just GOT to him...
His grip suconsciously loosened, and he accidentally dropped his coat. The sound of it smacking the floor snapped him back to reality. "D**n it," he hissed. He practically pounced to retrieve it... he snatched it up and put it over his arm again, taking care to not look at her eyes this time. You're here to understand, not to capitulate. Don't forget this is what got your paternal figure into trouble...
"So, what now?" Yazoo inquired quietly.

Fituna raised a brow at his behavior before stepping away almost shyly, looking around. "Well... Jeremy and Kuro should be finishing their little adventure any time now, then we can go over to the bar to collect much needed information." She was thinking out loud mainly, not paying much attention to him really.
Jeremy found nothing exciting so he motioned to Kuro to head back to the other two. He was set on getting this over with. There was a lot he had on his mind and wished to clear it....

He saw her reactions around him and for a moment found it harder to breathe. He forced himself to stop for a moment and force in a deep breath. So, perhaps the reaction is a mutual one... The lack of oxygen had made him a bit dizzy. He blinked rapidly and fast regained himself. "All right then. Let's be on our way." His voice was calm and clear, but only by conscious effort. Understanding soon will come... then this will all be over... I am only here to understand why she does what no one else can. That is all. He repeated this in his mind...

Fituna nodded absently before looking up as the two boys came around the corner and looked at them. Kuro looked at them both and made a slight face, there was an almost awkwardness...
"We solved the rat problem." Jeremy said blandly, not caring. "I don't want to waste anymore time..." He glanced around before heading out the door, Kuro following him.
Fituna rolled her eyes at Jeremys comment, going back to normal. "Always impatient, always hasty... going to get himself killed one day because of it." She shook her head as she spoke out loud softly.
She glanced over at Yazoo as she started walking, slowing a bit. "You coming?" She had a half grin before she walked on out....

He followed her, feeling some kind of strange agitation within himself... as if the overall pace of his organs had unexpectedly accelerated. "Incidentally, I often feel the same way about my youngest brother," he noted wryly. "Although I wonder if the odds are reduced now... what chance is there of it happening twice?" A significant one, if I know him at all. "I could choose to believe he's learned his lesson... but senseless optimisim doesn't suit me." He found himself smiling at her as they made their way outside.

Fituna glanced back, brow raised. "Really now... By the way he took out Vikktor I could see it though..." She laughed lightly. "You never know with some people, history has its way of repeating itself..." She shook her head slightly. "You are very right... being so carelessly optimistic wouldn't suit you." She glanced back again.
"Great... at this rate tonight will take forever..." Jeremy muttered under his breath as he and Kuro walked down the road into town a bit.
