Summary: Xue sets out to do what a rogue does best, steal. (Assassinations may occur if things go wrong!)
Warnings: Violence, Language.

The first few days of candy collecting had been a breeze for the agile trolless. In fact, she had managed to avoid much of everything as she went along in the cloak of the shadows and simply took whatever candy she wanted without even having to engage everyone. She had been relaxed, no stress whatsoever. Even the female version of the undignified costume that had latched itself to her , reminding her of more sour memories of her world hadn't been cumbersome at all... Having nothing to protect her chest and all, even then it had been actually pretty fun...

This week however, it seemed that just like most things in this tower, it wouldn't be as easy as the previous days. Candy was much more scarcer and she had been hearing death cries all over the place... It seemed that the stakes had gone up and it was time to get in the right mind set. With blades at her back and stalking the shadows, Xue would do whatever she had to in order to gain candy and keep her candy from being taken. She'd usually try to simply sap someone unconscious and take what she needed, but she knew that some wouldn't be keen on losing their life treats and she was ready to take them out or flee if need be.

Live to fight another day as they say, but she wouldn't extend that courtesy to her opponents...

Xue took the candy and bowed her head, "Thanks kid, yer alright."

At the mention of the others however, she wondered if they had been cursed or chosen if you would, for this test... Hopefully he didn't find them in a worse off state due to all of this.

"Ken huh? I'm Xue'kol, you can call me just Xue if joo be likin'" she said with a playful wink.

"Well, I try to be," he said, with a slightly more confident smile this time. "Xue-san, then. So... I know you think I should head down to the dorms and all, but... will you be all right by yourself? If everyone's looking for those candies, won't it be dangerous to move around alone?"

Secretly, he also wanted to ask if the ears and stuff were real, but he'd already run into one of the elves, so he figured they probably were. This whole situation was beyond bizarre.

"I'll be alright lil' mon. Bein' a rogue has it's benefits yanno? I tend ta keep hidden unless I am sure I be safe or can be havin' da upper hand." She winked at him confidently.

[heavenspear]

Ken nodded. "Okay. But... here, you can hold onto this just in case."

He rummaged around in his pockets, producing a strange-looking doll. It looked vaguely like a person, but whoever had made it was obviously not overly-concerned with realism. "It's a Homunculus. It might come in handy. You never know."

[snowyvalemaiden]

Xue looked at him curiously as he brought the item out. She was no stranger to ju-ju, voodoo, magic and what have you, but to think that this might be the same case coming from the youngin catches her by surprise.

"So dis ju-ju do something useful den? How do I use it?" she was at the very least going the give him the benefit of the doubt as he had been kind to her.

[heavenspear]

"It takes the hit for you if you get hit by a Hama or Mudo skill," he explained, hoping she'd know what he was talking about.

"They're really great to have if you're caught off guard. Although it only works once. And you don't have to do anything -- it'll act on its own. It's... kind of like a lucky charm, I guess."

[snowdriftassassin]

While she didn't know what a Hama or a Mudo skill was, she knew guard items all too well and smiled. "Well dang kiddo, you sure be knowin' how ta be gettin' into a girl's heart huh?" she chuckled and smiled.

"Dat be a nice lucky charm den, thankies cutie~"

[heavenspear]

To his own surprise, Ken blushed a little (which was really weird for him, because Xue didn't even seem to be human). "Uh, no problem. A-anyway, I should probably get going. Good luck, Xue-san!"

He gave her a little wave as he turned to leave.

[snowdriftassassin]

"Take care kiddo," Xue replied with a wave of her own as she turned and sauntered off until she vanished from sight once more.

If all the encounters she had from now on were like this, she wouldn't have to put anyone down then.
