Akando sat near the exit of the alley which looked out over the old docks. He was between two abandoned warehouses as he breathed in the salty air. How he loved the water. It seems to wash away his troubles just by watching it.

Emerald padded along the old harbour, looking for some mice to bring back to the main alley. She still hadn't found anything yet, and it was midnight. She was calm though, allowing the sweet scent of the water to wash over her and calm her nerves. Her limp was getting a tiny bit better, but it was still pretty bad. She just about walked by a huge dog that was sitting out at one of the docks she was passing by. She quickly stopped though, and peered out over to where he was. Instead of getting angry that another animal was on her territory like she usually did, the water seemed to make her more peaceful. She cautiously padded over to the dog until she was a few feet away from him. She looked very confident though, hiding all traces of uncertainty from her body and face.
"Oi, dog, what you doing over there?" She called out to him, sitting down to hide that she had a limp.

Akando stiffened as he turned, his wolfish features showing clearly on his face. He was about to lift his lips and snarl to scare of the cat, but stopped himself. This cat didn't deserve that just because she was a cat, just like him being a half breed didn't mean he was lower than shit.
He drew in air. "Same question back at ya."

Emerald swished her tail across the dock, enjoying the feel of the wood. "I live here. I am leader of a gang called the Scratch Sisters. We control the city once night falls." Emerald replied, though her voice wasn't threatening or proud sounding. Just calm and casual. She glanced down at the moon's reflection in the water for a few seconds, then turned her view back to the dog again. Although once she looked closer she noticed he had a few wolfish attributes to him. She didn't pay much to mind it though, as long as he didn't do anything stupid.

"Aren't you scared of wolves?" Akando rose to his paws, his tall, lank and positively wolf's descent body towering over the cat. He sniffed the air, tasting it for fear. None.

Emerald merely blinked and shrugged. "Not at the moment, no." Her tone was the same as before. She subconsciously swished her tail acroos the dock again.

Akando sat back down on the dingy concrete of the alleyway, ears lowering. "But put a dog and a wolf together and they're all afraid of it."

Emerald didn't understand what he meant entirely, so she tried changing the subject rather then asking. "So, why are you here?" She asked again, cocking her head to the side slightly.

Akando shrugged. "I ain't got no place else to go. Like I said, a half breed ain't liked."

Emerald now understood what he had meant before. She studied him for a few moments, a crazy idea coming into her mind. Crazy... but actually quite brilliant. "I'm Emerald, what's your name?" She asked, wanting to know who he was before doing what she was thinking of doing.
