ITOU ALAKI

Word Count → 644 :: Lemme know if disposing of the traders was okay :3

Picking his way through the crowd his progress towards the midnight coloured woman was slow, his irritation from being stuck in the stifling feast began to rise as some stranger bumped into him a little to hard and yet, instead of going after the fool and demanding an apology like some hoodlum he shrugged his bashed shoulder slightly, thankful for the fact that the side his was his right and not the side Beyaz perched on. Eventually he closed the distance between them only to have a blade carelessly swung in his direction, causing him to slowly blink in surprise and then smile genuinely at the darker woman in strange approval. Footsteps sounded behind him, indicating that Alexander had just caught up, the pale zepar paused behind the Rakeeb and smiled in welcome towards Caprica raising a hand almost shyly to wave slightly towards her, mouthing the words 'Hey'. Whilst Alexander had their attention the storm coloured Rakeeb allowed himself a moment to process the scene before him; almost by pure reflex he shot the two strange males a threatening stare, his pent up irritation being aimed at them with that one look, his glance lowered to the katana as Caprica mentioned the traders were offering to sell it to her and without thinking he brought himself up to his full height, naturally falling into a dominant stance that he only used when truly needed, a thrown burrowing it's way upon his brow.

Seconds passed as he simply glared at the males and then his ever fine temper snapped. Stepping forward, his head fell to the side, black strands hung free from his face and an malicious grin spread across his lips. “Traders? I think not. A pair of con artists would be the correct terminology. Fuketsuna kuzu” his had reached to his side where his Katana hung, a grey hand wrapped itself around the blades handle in a snug, comfortable fit, the feel of it within his grasp reassuring and fueled the males violence. Bringing himself into the grey male's personal space just to get on his nerves he growled right into the unknown trader's face, the sound vibrating deep in his throat, satisfying and thrilling to be heard. Slipping a leg behind the male in a quick measured movement, he pushed the stranger back before he could respond to the Rakeebs threat and the young samurai laughed unmercifully as the trader fell backwards.

“Choose your targets better next time. No one messes with a member of my pack” he spat out at the two traders who seemed somewhat shocked by the way things had gone. To emphasise upon Alaki's threat, Alexander moved to stand by the Rakkeb, growling in his throat at the two traders in warning. “Scram and you'll let the lady have the blade; worthless as it is, we'll be taking it with us. Be glad you're being allowed to leave pain free” tugging his lip back his smirk displayed rows of teeth and he pulled his katana out of it's sheath slightly encase the others wished to challenge him; he was more than willing to get into a fight with them if that was what they desired. Sadly, it seemed that between the two of them they had a at least one brain cell and he watched with growing disappointment as they retreated. Glancing around it seemed the encounter had drawn little attention.

With the idiot traders dealt with he turned his attention back to Caprica, his anger far from settled and his sadistic nature close to the surface. “Next time you want a weapon, damn well just come to me. They were about to fucking rip you off for a pile of crap that looks like it's gonna snap at any given moment” he scolded the women, not bothering to sugar coat his words or clam his tone.
