WHO: Meiran and Ari
WHERE: Streets
WHEN: Saturday afternoon
WARNINGS: Nada
SUMMARY: Chance meeting between the two leads to yelling
FORMAT: Prose


The fighting of the last few days should have eased her anger, but Meiran still felt wound up. She's been feeling like trowing a tantrum ever since her husband left and no amount of training or dealing with the undead had changed that. Still feeling that way after over a week just made her angrier.

After a morning of pacing around her apartment, Meiran was heading back to the park for more practice. With the foul temper she was in, she almost pitied the person who made the mistake of speaking to her today.

"You weren't the one moving out of the way either," Ari pointed out flatly. Not that anyone ever did, but... that wasn't the point.

"I expected you to have the brain power to know to move." Admit she wasn't paying attention? Never.

[daddysoldmysoul.livejournal.com]

"You expect too much from strangers." Which said far more about Ari's opinion on the Natives than himself. "Next time, move yourself."

"I shouldn't have to, brat."

[daddysoldmysoul.livejournal.com]

"What makes you so special?"

[callmenataku.livejournal.com]

"I don't have to answer that." She scoffed.

"Nothing, then?" Ari returned dryly.

At least Marlene was a princess.

If she knew that was what counted as criteria, she would rebunk that she was the heir of her clan and how that, in a way, made her something like royalty to her people.

"Because I am Nataku."

[daddysoldmysoul.livejournal.com]

"Because that really means something."

Really. Ari had no idea what in heck that was. Her name? Her family? Some term of self importance?

[callmenataku.livejournal.com]

"You don't know the name?" Yet another thing to hate about being here, no one really recognized her people's gods. "Nataku is the guardian spirit of the Long clan."

[daddysoldmysoul.livejournal.com]

...

"So you're named after a dead guy."

Least she wasn't carrying one around in her shadow.

[callmenataku.livejournal.com]

"You will show some respect for the guardian of my people!" She shouted, body tensing.

[daddysoldmysoul.livejournal.com]

Yep. This was familiar territory. "Why?"
