Imiar snickered quietly at Ukitake's startled wave--it was kind of cute.
Yahg studied Ukitake's face intently, "Never heard of no such village. But then again, I did hear the word 'hidden'." The orc shrugged his broad shoulders before getting back to work on Imiar's armor--the payment debate successfully avoided for now.
"This was the first place I ran to," Imiar stated simply, knowing Ukitake would understand what she meant. "Yahg found me wandering the streets and helped me build the small residence that we are using. He became very dear to me, almost like a parent." She glanced at the orc, noticing the grin on his face and the mischievous glint in his eye as he looked toward Ukitake once more.
"And, speaking as a parental figure, how did you and Imiar meet? More importantly, what is she to you? What are your intentions?" The orc scrutinized Ukitake once more, heedless of the embarrassment radiating off of Imiar. She swore to herself that she would maim him for this someday as she covered her face, profusely murmuring apologies to whatever deity she'd pissed off.

Ukitake nodded as Imiar explained. The ninja never knew his parents, adopted at birth into a large orphanage. His adopted parents did their best to raise them, but they passed soon after he hit his teens.
He gave him a slightly nervous answer, figuring that the words he would speak next would determine whether he as a good friend or a bad influence on Imiar.
"She freed me from a prison of ice out in the arctic, Yahg", he explained. As for what she was to him, his cheeks turned slightly red as he took a few moments to speak further. "She's a good friend of mine, and I am simply indebted to her for rescuing me. For now, I would like to live a life of a bounty hunter, as I find traces of an enemy I last battled over fifty years ago."

Yahg's brows rose at Ukitake's answer, "Well that is quite a story," he mused. "I suppose I cannot doubt her judgement, for she has made it this far. Besides, you should be around for a few days anyhow. I'll be sure to keep an eye on ya. Maybe stop by for a visit sometime." With that, he went back to Imiar's armor, carefully fixing the dent in her shin guard with a sly grin on his face.
Imiar glanced at Ukitake through her fingers, muttering, "I am so sorry." She knew she must look ridiculous, hiding behind her hands like a child. However, embarrassment was not a common enemy for her, and she wasn't sure how to deal with it.

Imiar was wary of letting Ukitake go explore the city, but her worries were put to rest when he returned swiftly. She smiled at him as he rejoined her, slightly startled by Yahg clearing his throat loudly.
"Well then, Imiar, that ought to do it." He motioned for her to come inspect the armor, and she smiled wickedly at the gleam of it.
"Thank you, Yahg," she said warmly, picking up the sum of gold and placing it in his hand, making sure to curl his large fingers around it, "Please accept this, it is the least I can do." She smiled at him before letting his hand go, and beginning to put on her armor.
Yahg merely shook his head exasperatedly and pocketed the gold, knowing better than to argue with the stubborn she-elf.

Imiar glanced back at him as she heard his sigh, wondering if he was alright. They were nearing the guild, and Imiar was ready to see Kyvanus again--she missed their teasing of each other.
"The guild master, Kyvanus, is a sun elf. His kind thrive in this desert." She began matter-of-factly, "Based on all precedence, we two should not get along. At first, we did not. However, that changed when he found out how efficient I was at collecting bounties." She smirked briefly, but her face became very serious as they reached the guild. Opening the door, she was greeted by bright sunlight, which caused her to squint her eyes. "Those damned mirrors..." she muttered, holding a hand up. "Kyvanus!" she yelled, "Flip the mirrors!"
She patiently waited for the mirrors that reflected the desert sun to be flipped so that she would be able to see again. Though she couldn't see, she was on very high alert, listening for any approach.

Imiar knew the instant the mirror's were being flipped, and strained her eyes to see. She turned at the sound of an approach from behind, catching a glimpse of Kyvanus as he dodged Ukitake's blind swing. "Ukitake, stop!" She called, knowing this would end badly.
Kyvanus landed in between herself and Ukitake, peering into her face. She met his gaze evenly, ignoring the sun spots blurring her vision. "It has been a while, Kyvanus."
He narrowed his eyes at her. "Imiar, how good to see you again," he stated blandly. Glancing behind him, he added: "And who is this? The one who attempted to strike me?"
