David Akenda (207) has posed:
This is the very time that young David Akenda has actually stepped outside of Xavier's main building. Even he needs sunshine and light. He's lived like a rat for so long. As he kneels on a rock near a lake. For him this is a rare moment for meditation. The young man one the son of wealthy man in japan, now a victim of a blood feud hundreds of years old. David Akenda dispite his meditation is on guard, expecting people to be around at any moment, any time. He's tuned out the natural sounds around him and his perception is very keen as the moment there is any sound out of the normal rythems he will detect it. Across his lap the Black Dragon Katana.

Ra's al-Ghul has posed:
    A distant bird call is heard in the forest, the species of bird native to Hokkaido, the northern island of the Japanese archipelago. It is a signal, an open one, to declare that whomever approaches is aware of Akenda is, and since they are signalling, they are not a threat. Hopefully, the young David Akenda heeds the warning, if he is truly trained as Ra's al-Ghul believes he is.

An Ainu man with a series of curving black tattoos along the right side of his face, black circular blots on the cheeks and jaw, steps out of the treeline. He wears a fine purple suit, with a purple tie and a crisp white shirt below it. A jade pommel emerges from his left hip, a katana held inside a golden scabbard hanging behind him. His hair is grown long and braided into a quarter of ponytails, held behind him. A pair of sunglasses hides his eyes. He comes to a halt just as Akenda can see him, leaning against a tree, hands in his pockets and safely out of distance of drawing his blade.

He watches, quietly, judging the boy.

David Akenda (207) has posed:
as David is meditating he can sense the area and something feels off. And then the sound, the first note. Instantly he is on his feed Katana out in a flash. The Boy narroing his eyes looking aroudn the ara as what seems like spider silk strands around him. His Wires move and lash around him in a sphere protecting and surrounding him. The Man Stepping out of the area makes the boy tense hand held the sword in a proper stance as the fact that an attack haas not come, he narrows his eyes and speaks in JApanese, ((Who are you?)) he demands.

Ra's al-Ghul has posed:
"((I am a neutral agent, no cause to be alarmed,))" the man replies, his left hand slowly sliding out of his pocket, in the wrong position to draw his katana, and removing his sunglasses. "((They call me Jade Wren.))" He slides his sunglasses away. "((That stunt in Utah caught my employer's attention. We cannot remove the consequences of your actions, but we could protect you from them.))"

The Ainu pushes off the tree, his right hand still in his pocket, blocking his draw position for his katana. "((But our protection would have consequences in and of itself, although we offer something more tempting than mere providence. We offer something spiritual, not something worldly.))"

David Akenda (207) has posed:
Laughing as he says, "Neutral party huh? Jade Wren?" he says as the wires keep forming around himself. "I didn't have much in the room for Finesse in that situation. No one died but I am aware of their anti mutant dogma." he says

AS David still holds the Katana in a more defencible form he says. "You know who I am, so who are your masters?" he says already having a feeling this guy is simply another assassin.

Ra's al-Ghul has posed:
"I serve Ra's al-Ghul and the League of Assassins," the Jade Wrench explains, gesturing with his left hand. "We can offer you the chance to become a quiet legend in the prowess of what you are already skilled at, and direct your passion towards becoming more than a simple man. We do not offer belonging, despite being a group of likeminded souls. No, we offer the solitude of form, the apex of enlightenment, and the purpose of clarity."

The Wren walks towards David, slowly, before stopping a safe distance away. "You will become something more than a man, or a mutant, or an assassin. You will become an angel."

David Akenda (207) has posed:
as he listens to him and he perks up and his wires faulter briefly as he listens and seems interested. "I have heard of the league in Japan. I think I might have come across a couple members. I think I mistook them for Kaji clan assassins. Tulsa Oaklaholma?" he says. He's had so many run ins with that pair he doesn't recall it all.

His thoughts are clearly the idea of being protected. But he turns his attention to the School and it is clear he is very very torn.

"Shingami, Angel of death. I have to admit your offer is very very tempting. but my only desire is to personally erradicate the Kaji clan, Once I have personally wiped their stain from the face of the earth, I won't care what happens to me."

Ra's al-Ghul has posed:
"Revenge is a prospect that is not always literal, if one wishes to surpass themselves." The Wren draws his right hand out, a card in his hand. It is a small green business card, with a black skull and an international phone number, with Arabic lettering reading 'League of Assassins' in that language. He drops it to the ground. "If you choose to pick up a snake from the grass, you may have the fortune to study its tongue." He turns about, showing Akenda his back, and he strolls off into the forest, disappearing among the trees.

David Akenda (207) has posed:
Once the assassin leaves the card is snatched with the wires and brought over to him and he looks it over bnefore he will pocket it secretly and then begins to make his way back to the school. Concerned, worried, but also tempted and fully enticed. He's not ready to abandon his honor, but what's it gotten him. As he will once more take refuge into the mansion.
