Xerxes watched the woman come out of the shop from where he was perched on the roof. Zani was next to him chomping on some animal he'd caught right outside the door. Good, he hadn't eaten in the past few days. His emotional turmoil was cause him inappetence.

'I'm starving, I need more food.'

'Alright.' Xerxes said still watching the two. Oddly he was watching the male a bit. What was he to her? Xerxes wasn't sure what that mattered.

"Kendra, I'm sorry. I didn't mean that how it sounded."

'Kendra, she sort of looks like a Kendra.' Zani commented looking over the edge and watching them move below.

"Whatever Derrick. I'm tired of being looked at like a thing." Ah the seeds of doubt, he'd hoped she would finally admit it.

"I don't think you are a thing." Well this was good, she wasn't too taken with her human handlers it looked like. Perfect, she could be so useful to them, all the information she held. They moved across the roof watching and listening to the two of them.

"One person doesn't matter, and back there it didn't really sound like you cared that I was even shot. Oh what a pain it must have been for me to get in the way of those wolves."

'She got in the way of the wolves?'

'Must have, the one named Mirage said that someone had helped them. Saved them.' Xerxes commented his eyes were on the woman moving with anger. She did have a nice figure for a woman, and she walked with a glide even though she was clearly pissed. Xerxes gaze moving over her contemplating.

'Suddenly interested in the opposite sex again?' Zani commented.

'I would be more if my other half wasn't crying in the corner half the time.' He said teasing Zani, he made a sniff.

'I was not crying in the corner. I'm compatible in my maleness and can cry in front of others.'

'It's comfortable in my manhood, and you'd eat others if they ever saw you shed tears.'

'Most likely.' It was good to hear him joke after the dive he had taken the other day. However they continued to listen to the other two.

"I told you that I stand behind what you do. You did what you thought was right." She turned on the man, her hair whipping out and her eyes flashing fire. The woman had talent, she just didn't use it, powerful talent.

"Really? Really!" She shouted at him and threw her hand up in the air. "You can't be on my side. I'm not human." she said turning and stopping at a car.

"I want to be on your side."

"But you can't." She snapped. "Sorry, I know you care." Two others were coming toward them. "No one else does. I think I'll walk." She turned and didn't walk at all. She took off at a fast sprint, she didn't even pause as the man called after her. The man was visibly upset with the conversation. It seemed that he cared for Kendra.

Xerxes turned and went over the roofs before landing on the ground and moving to follow Kendra at a distance. Zani showed gliding next to him and then landing.

'What are you doing?'

'I'm curious about this woman. Why don't you just go hunt or something, let me be for a bit.'

'Fine, but you better not cut me off if you do anything. That's about as much excitement as I get.' Zani said and Xerxes gave a smile as Zani darted off and was gone from sight. He moved following Kendra, he didn't get why she hung on the humans. Had she been human herself? That was probably why she acted the way that she did.
