Tai gave a loud yawn as he woke up and stretched. A twilight-ridden sky peeked through the curtains in the motel he was staying at. He scratched his belly and stood up. Time to get to work.
Stagerring slightly, Tai made his way over to the small closet set into the woodwork of the room. He snagged a blue shirt with forest green sleeves and tugged it over his mass of unkempt golden-brown hair. After it was in place, he shoved on the faded blue jeans he had worn yesterday over his bright orange boxers.
"I'm beginning to see why everybody thinks I have a weird taste in colors," he mused with a smile. His crystal blue eyes gleamed with amusement. He crossed over to his bedside table and hooked his silver pocketwatch to his beltloop, then placed the object itself in his right pocket.
"Damn it, she did it again," Tai swore as he dug through the drawer of his bedside table. A moment later he pulled out a small tin of oil and a dingy whiute cloth. "She always forgets that I want it left out in the open. Oh, well." Sitting down, Tai polished his grimy auto-mail leg and arms before replacing the polish and exiting the motel.
It was a breezy Novemeber morning today. The sun would rise in about an hour or two, so Tai had no work to get done before then. He strolled about East City at a casual pace, blinking the sleep out of his eyes.
That's when he noticed a large shadow appear before him.

Emily ran down the street, following the shadowy figure in front of her. She knew the sun would rise soon, and she wanted to avoid the effects of it. As she chased after it, She saw Tai through his window and waved. She held onto her silver crescent moon charm on her necklace as she ran. Still looking at Tai, she didn't see the pole right in front of her. SMACK! She ran into it, the side of her head hitting the hard metal. She crumpled to the ground, unconscious.

Tai turned as the shadow vanished. The road was empty, nobody there. A few leaves from August rustled by int he wind, but other then that all was deathly quiet. It was then Tai remembered he had seen Emily waving to him from his window. He had only been there for a brief second before she had ran out of sight. Maybe it was her playing games on him?
The was a loud, metallic clang and Tai squinted to try and get a glance at what had made the sound. He spoted Emily a few feet in front of him, lying knicked out upon the grey pavement. It was obvious what had just happened to her.
"You have GOT to be kidding me," Tai laughed as he ran towards her. He knelt down upon reaching her and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw there was no shed blood. Although the bruise on her head looked terrible. It looked like she's been in a batting cage and had been pummeled by a 300 mph baseball. Placing a hand over her forhead, Tai pressed down.
There was a small surge of blue light, and sparks mingled with Emily's new wound. It started to fade until it was hardly noticable. Smiling with satisfaction, Tai picked Emily up and started to shake her lightly, calling her name.
"Emily? Please, wake up..."

Emily moaned, waking up a few minutes later. "Tai? what happened?" She asked softly. "I heard this sound...and then everything went black..........and........owww" She said, finally noticing the pain.

((That's one question of two answered. >>))
"You scared me for a second there," Tai replied, stifling a laugh. Normally Emily wasn't this absentminded. Seeing her like this was both startling and humorous at the same time. Although Tai couldn't help but think that it hadn't been her who made the shadow earlier. She wasn't nearly tall enough.
"What are you doing up so early in the morning?" Tai questioned, taking a step back to let Emily get some breath. "Do you always wake up this early? I just couldn't sleep. I'm taking a walk around the city before I report for duty. I..." A shiver raced down Tai's spine, but not because of the chill climate. It was...something else.
"What's say we walk together?" he suggested, turning back to face Emily. He did his best to hide his anxiousness, but knowing Emily, she might very well see past his mask. "Lots of stalkers out at a time like this. I'm a State Alchemist, so I can protect you." He lightly brabbed her wrist and nudged her along, eager to get out of there. He was more concerned for her safety then his own.
((We need more people to make this even more interesting. *winks*))

Emily looked at him dazedly. Her head still hurt, and she couldn't think straight, which made her think that it was probably a good idea that he wanted to walk with her. "ok....." She said, nodding.
