Shace's mouth opened as she saw the guard approaching. At this point, she honestly had no idea why she was chasing them around. She slid off the seat and straightened, moving to meet the guard. "Reason for arrest?"

Luke has plenty of reasons to get arrested. He sat on the edge of the seat as stiff as a board, every muscle in his body taught as a wire. He was ready to cause chaos and run for it as soon as thing went south.

Rheyna chuckled dryly. This halfblood girl really knew her stuff. "Let's see….jumping off a building seems pretty illegal. You also tackled a defenseless soldier." She plastered her mouth into a fake pout, as if declaring her innocence. "Your friend here also jumped down from a roof and from his guilty expression he probably did much more. Both of you will be interrogated." She held out the handcuffs, staring blankly at the girl. "Don't make this difficult."

Luke waited, still as a statue. His instincts told him to run, but he forced himself to stay put, afraid of losing Shace again. “Listen, cop. We don’t mean any trouble. Just some folks from the east lookin’ for a humble breakfast.” Luke’s fake accent was borderline laughable as he shoved his hands in his pockets, about to go ride or die with his new alias. “The name’s uh… Angus.” He credit up next to Shace, sticking out his hand for Rheyna to shake.

Rheyna swatted his hand away. "Stop with the theatrics. I know your name is Luke."

“Aw shucks.” Luke pouted, his ears drooping a bit. “I never did anything to you anyways! Just made you run a little. And then I passed out, so I think I already paid my dues on that one.”

"Fine. Your friend still committed a serious crime, so you're coming with her for witness questioning." Rheyna growled. She was hoping that when she brought Luke to be questioned, she could also get him to admit to committing a crime.

“Shace was just trying to protect me. That isn’t her fault.” Luke protested, crossing his arms, his ears flicking. “You just want her locked up since she’s a halfblood, don’t you?” He bristled up, his shoulders tensing.

Rheyna narrowed her eyes. "Actually, it's the opposite. I was willing to let your fri- Shace go until she attacked me. I'd never hurt another halfblood without reason."

“I don’t see any wounds.” Luke narrowed his eyes, over exaggerating his inspection of her. “You know I worked as a doctor’s assistant one time, so I’m basically certified.”

This boy was getting on her last nerve. "It doesn't matter if I was injured, it's the fact that she tackled a soldier. Besides, I defiantly got a few bruises."

“Sounds like you fell during our little chase and need someone to blame it on.” Luke quirked an eyebrow, feigning disbelief. He made a “tsk” noise, clucking his tongue in disappointment. “No warrent? Covering up your own failures by taking advantage of us? Corruption at its finest.”

She was about to punch this pureblood boy. Rheyna growled, deciding to push her solider privileges further. "How dare you accuse a soldier of lying! You know very well what your friend Shace did." She ignored the part about a warrent, because technically she didn't have one.

“How dare you accuse me of accusing you of lying!” Luke’s pointy elven ears pricked up, twitching a few times. “I was hardly conscious! What I did happen to see, or did not happen to see, is impossible to know for certain. But to coerce my memory with addled tales? Soldier you are stepping out of line!” He gasped dramatically, his lips almost imperceptibly quirked into the beginnings of a wry smile. He was having fun with this.

It seemed like Luke was just playing with her now. She considered using her siren ability to persuade him, but if it didn't work than she would be exhausted and they would be able to run. "Don't pretend that you're the innocent one here." Rheyna held up the handcuffs, staring Luke straight in the eye. "Comply, or fight me."

“Arresting a witness to an interrogation? I don’t believe that’s protocol.” Luke stared back at her, giving her a cheesy wink. “And comply or fight? Corruption again! You want me to allow you to arrest me besides your lack of a warrent concerning an event that did not occur. Or fight, when you could quite obviously beat me senseless, and put the other patrons if this kitchen in danger! Very unethical of you.” He drawled.

Rheyna was done with this pureblood boy bossing her around. "Alright, fight it is." She snarled, sending a punch towards his stomach. (it's up to you if it hits or not)

Luke doubled over in pain, groaning as he held his stomach. “Punching an innocent pureblood in a room full of witnesses? Not your best idea yet, hot shot.” He grimaced, gritting his teeth.

"I don't give a sh*t anymore. Let them take my job away; it's not like I was earning enough money anyway." Rheyna replied, smiling at the fact that her punch had connected.

Luke stumbled closer to Shace for protection. “So what’re you gonna do now? You’ll be the one in handcuffs in a few minutes.” He shot back, practically hiding behind the werewolf.

Maybe Rheyna hadn't thought this through. She didn't want to show any weakness, so she deflected the question. "Every soldier here is looking for you. You better watch your back." With that, Rheyna stormed out of the building. As soon as she was a good distance away, she began sprinting.

Shace coughed. This girl couldn't make up her mind. Obviously there was nothing wrong with jumping off a building, but the guard was holding a deep grudge now. She would try to stay a little longer, but there was the distinct possibility that she would be forced to run and hide again. She waited silently for Luke to catch his breath, ignoring the other diners' stares, and backed toward the stairs again.

“Did you see that?” Luke whispered, following at Shace’s heels as per usual. “I just scared off a solider! By bluffing! That was so cool! I never would’ve gotten away with that in the city!” He murmured, his eyes sparkling with triumph.

"Yeah, you're the king of bluffing," Shace whispered back. She sidled into their room and picked up the still unpacked bag. "But I don't think that counts as a soldier…If she comes back again, bluffing won't work a second time. That was a push and when she finds us again it will be a shove, so you need to be ready to go, okay, elf boy?" She grinned at him a little.
