"Easy there lass" Says a masculine voice, as the figure slices the arrow in half in a overhand motion. "You'd could of shot me dead!!!" His brown unkept hair and hazel eyes reflecting in the moon light as his voice comes in an incredibly mocking tone.
"Haven't learnt how to not sneak up on a lady, since the last time I saw you???" The cloaked figure replied in a tone that could pass as a snide comment. "YoU a LaDy!?!?" Says the brunette, his voice childish and mocking her, while using air quotes on 'lady'.
"What are you doing here Finch???" She replies ignoring Finch's last remark. "Always one to ruin the fun ain't you???" He muttered.
"You were not supposed to be here Finch, but I needn't not remind you, do I???" The feminine voice says. "Such a warm welcome, I'm honoured." With hand over heart Finch bows in mockery. "Once one for theatrics. Always one for theatrics." She shoots back with an deciding nod more to her self then anything.
"To answer your question before... well the answer doesn't matter." He says dragging out the word 'well'. "Then that is not answering the question now is it??? But that's not the point. Why are YOU here and not at the ports???" Comes the annual reply of the cloaked figure.
"I'm here, because I'm here..." Finch drags out the sentence. At an eyebrow raise from the cloaked figure, he promptly continues. "...I just know your raising your eyebrow... Wait, ... DON'T YOU RAISE YOUR EYEBROW AT ME YOUNG LADY!!!" Finch exclaims in theatrics.
"And how would YOU know I'm young. YOU don't know who I am under this hood" The feminine figure replied and again raising an eyebrow. "Always raising eyebrows." He muttered under his breath, but before the cloaked figure can cast a retort, he continues.
"I'm here, because I'm here to tell you that the rendezvous point at the original dock was moved, because word would have it that there was a information leak. The new location is doc number 27, look for the ship with the black mast."
"You didn't you just start with that and not with your theatrics." The cloaked feminine figure deadpans. "Because." Finch says simply. "Because???" The figure prompted. "Because. It's no fun not too. Now shoo, shoo, best be on your way, don't want to be late to miss your drop off deadline." Finch said, his eyes crinkling with mirth and an ever present smirk on his face as he replied condescendingly.
Turning on her heel the cloaked figure turns east, up towards the top of the river and starts walking from shadow to shadow. "WHAT NOT EVEN A GOODBYE, OH HOW YOU WOUND ME!?!?" Finch exclaims as his sight of the cloaked figure appears to dissipate. He knows she still there, he just lost track of her, her ability to move unseen from shadow to shadow is remarkable at best.
