An Unlikely Encounter

One the famous figures that Tetsuo had heard about during his unfortunate travels was the famous symbol of peace, Shane Stern. Tetsuo heard various rumors and stories about how insanely strong and noble that this legendary man was, and well, Shane honestly inspired Tetsuo to join the Rune-Knights and he had hoped to meet the man in person at the Knight’s headquarters. He was disappointed to discover that Shane was now a wanted criminal, and well, Tetsuo wanted to know why? He was no idiot, after all, heroes don’t just become easily corrupt, and judging from the stories this man was nearly incapable of being corrupted into becoming a villain. And so for that reason, Tetsuo decided to track down this man and get Shane’s side of the story.

 After all, you had to be an idiot to always believe what you have been told, and Tetsuo was curious as to what the truth actually was, and what this man was actually capable of, and maybe, ask if Shane could teach him a thing or two. Honestly, that would be so bloody cool if he could learn a little from the master himself! Without a doubt, hands down, the only reason why he got off his lazy arse to do this little personal mission was so that he could get to meet the great Shane Stern and talk with him and whatnot. However, now that he actually left the barracks and was doing the investigation work and whatnot, Tetsuo was kind of regretting his decision. There were numerous dead ends and what not, and honestly, this was a lot more work than what he had expected. Granted, Tetsuo knew he should have expected that this would not be easy, form the stories that he heard Shane was a professional. But still, he kind of wish he knew that before he traveled all about Fiorie tracking various sources and leads that gave him even a whisper of Shane. 

This was a little too much work for just one man, ugh, why did he have to do this! If it wasn’t for the fact that he was nowhere near the guild and he had already placed this much work into the small personal mission, then he would’ve simply quit. Tetsuo was practically beating his head against the wall of the hotel that he was staying in as another lead led to a dead end. He was fixing to quit the mission all together and simply return to the barracks and eat his defeat away with sugars, but then while he was getting coffee he noticed something a little odd, and he could have swore that Shane, the man he so desired to speak with was there at the restaurant. He knew that coming here was a good idea!!! That someone convicted like Shane would be able to waltz around with some semibalance of freedom in this gods forsaken town! Tetsuo plotted to follow the man the rest of the day, and he did so until well he got lost. Fortunately he heard about a gang coming into the town, and well deciding that, that was where he’d catch Shane. Tetsuo decided to take the job for himself. Tetsuo would land on the ceiling that the Shane was on, and approached the man a ghost of a smile on his face.

“You are Shane, right?” he would question softly. “You were admittedly hard to find.”

With a tilt of his head Tetsuo curiously studied the handsome warrior in front of him, he certainly was not handsome as the servant boy back home, but he was somewhat up there. Honestly, Tetsuo simply found most people in this country to be unattractive, they were a little to hairy and burly for his taste. It was however, a little flattering that the famous Shane Stern knew who he was, Tetsuo found himself going a little red in the face. “Yes, I am Tetsuo. But ah, you can call me Tetsu, without the O.” his accent became thick once again, this time out of slight nervousness that is commonly associated with flattery or embarrassment. “That was kind of obvious, ya? Seeing that ah, someone like me could find you.” Tetsuo remarked a bit smartly when Shane mentioned that he wasn’t really hiding, if someone as lazy as Tetsuo could find the man with difficulty, he wondered how hard it would be to find Shane if he was actually trying to hide?  Ngn, that certainly would not be a job for Tetsuo, someone else maybe, but not Tetsuo Oborozuki.

Tetsuo would simply shrug at this next comment, not really caring that he did not approach shame cautiously, or that he had laid all his cards out on the table. Plus, how would Shane know that he had all of his cards out on the table? For all that Shane could know Tetsuo had some captives that he was fixing to threaten if any harm came on him, or he could be uber power or a clone! But needless to say, Tetsuo was not worried about Shane hurting him, or concern about his well-being here. If Shane did not want to be found, Tetsuo would not even be here, and if Shane wanted him dead well he’d have done it by now. “I see no reason to be sneaky-like, ah, I am confident that you will not hurt me, ya?” he questioned and gave Shane a closed eye smile. "oh ah, I simply wanted to talk, yes? I heard stories about you, I think you Fiorians would say that, ah, they were um legendary? So I wanted to meet you in person." he reached over and squeezed one of Shane's muscles with a fascinating look. "big"


He would take the binoculars that was offered to him, and looked at the mansion that was across the street, Tetsuo paused for a moment and tilted his head. “You’re after the gang, yes?” he questioned softly and handed them back. “Ooooo, I can freeze the place yes?” he questioned a little wide eye at the other male.
