[i]She looks at him confused.[/i]
" I asked what you were doing , your answer was deflective so I assumed you did not wish to talk " [i]she hurriedly bows again[/i]" Forgive me if I have caused offence."

-
"Why are you treating me like your commanding officer?"
-
[i]Her mouth opens and closes a couple of times before she finally speaks.[/i] " Because I am trained to defer to authority based on rank or experience, you're not military but I've had 7 years in black ops and I can recognise a 'master' when I see one "
-
"I was military. And I am a master. Of what? You can figure that out." [i] His mask retracts to reveal a man in his mid-twenties, brown hair and a lock of hair falling in front of his face, plus icy blue eyes that seem to pierce through her, and chill the air around him.[/i] http://m.imgur.com/NHsLIWJ.jpg
-
[i]She seems pleased that her assessment was spot on, her pale eyes carefully familiarise themselves with his features. She often would only get to see a target once and she would have to be certain she was executing the correct target,[/i]
-
"You're profiling me. What exactly were you trained for?" [i] He asks, putting his elbows on his knees.[/i] "Also, your name?" [i] He grins.[/i]
-
" my designation is Echo , I have no....name. I was part of a unit of 5 , we lived and worked together everyday since we were recruited. As Echo, I am the closer, or finisher. I compromise or execute the target. But I have never been on my own."

-
[i]She thinks carefully before answering.[/i] " Covered something about a 3 sword technique.and the two people who use it but that's all"[/i]
-
[i] He nods.[/i] "Perhaps you'll learn a bit more about me if you'd like to stick around."
-
[i] She looks grateful and nods.[/i] It would beat running into these people who keep saying one thing then apparently it means something else but no one seems able to tell me what.!" [i]she sighs and sits back down.[/i]
-
[i] He chuckles.[/i] "You aren't exactly good with people are you?"
-
[i]She looks at him as if to say what is good with people.[/i] " I only know two people. Those I work with and those I kill. There hav never been other people."
-
[i] He nods.[/i] "I knew a few people like you. They're dead now."
-
" I don't mean I choose to kill those I don't work with, we just aren't allowed to socialise, makes you weak,friends becomes targets for enemies."
-
[i] He smirks, but it's a broken expression, and the iciness of his gaze seems fragile.[/i] "You're too young to realize how much truth that holds."
-
[i]Her pale eyes note the change , but she has had enough loss of her own frustrated at being spoken to about what she does or doesn't know[/i] " I've just lost the only 4 other people I knew ,that I have spent the last half of my life living with, working with,bleeding with, I know something about loss. One of them was the only blood I have.....had"
-
[i] He nods, his seemingly unbroken demeanor shifting slightly.[/i] "Sorry."
-
[i]Shaking her head[/i] " It comes with th territory I just figured I wld be th one to be taken out."
-
"Guess we're alike in that way Echo."

-
[i]this girl wasn't joking when she said she's only been around a few people in her life. He thinks to himself.[/i] "What branch of the military are you from?"
-
"We were referred to as ' Unit' , Alpha; unit commander, explosives . Beta; Pilot and Extraction. Charlie; Medic . Delta ;Scout and point man,and my twin brother. Echo ; Finisher. We were trained together from the age of 10 to 13 , when we had our first mission. We worked together for seven years, without incident, until our last op. I never had to worry about anything except my mark. Everything we did was designed to get me from point A to point B to terminate the target and then to point C for extraction. I follow orders that's all I do and have done since I was 10 . Get up at 0500 , bed at 2200 , and train in between. Or go on Op. That's my life. Now I have nothing."
-
"I'm sorry Echo."
-
[i]Again she looks puzzled,[/i] "why are you sorry, it wasn't your people?"
-
[i] He shrugs.[/i] "I don't know. You just look like you need someone to tell you it'll be alright, so I'm trying to be comforting." [i] He chuckles.[/i]
