Breaking and entering
It had taken Lian a few days to get there, but she'd made it to the League of Assassins headquarters. Several flights later, after staying in a cheap hotel, she'd made the trek through the Arabian desert, traveling light, taking only her bow and knives, but carrying just enough food and water to where she wouldn't starve to death or die of thirst.

That and the headquarters for the League of Assassins, wasn't exactly the easy place to find. You had to know where to look.

Luckily, there's a perk in having a parent for a member.

Lian made her way to the entrance, making sure to stay hidden.

	Five minutes. She can do five minutes. Damn, she better be able to last five mintues. Lian brought her sword up to counter Damien's attack. She lunged forward, using her weight to throw him off-center. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He lets her come, turning away from her to let her pass him. He then attempts to kick her in the back of her knee to make her stumble. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The kick connected and Lian lost her balance. Regaining her footing quickly, she spun around, bringing up her sword to counter whatever attack he threw at her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Her sword parries away his next two follow-up strikes and Damien finds himself surprised that she's managed to last the first two minutes with him. Few people can claim to have done so with him, and the only other person in this room who can do so is his sister Morgaine. He backs off and brings his sword to the ready, taunting Lian into coming at him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He was teasing her. Well, he was just going to have to come to her then. She couldn't let her guard down. Not now. Not when she was just getting started. She stood her ground, bringing her sword up to the ready. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	This time, he leads with an overhand strike meant to cleave her in two if it lands, following through until his katana touches the ground. He rounds on her. "Running away? You like being chased, I see." he says, trying to close the distance between them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That all depends," she said, throwing up her sword to block his strike. "On who's doing the chasing." She took a step closer to him, her sword still firmly against his. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Damien smiles, an expression he isn't used to. She has some fire to her, this one. Perhaps she could be useful after all.

"I see a woman trapped by a life that she no longer wants in your eyes, Lian. You came here to be free of the expectations the world has of you." he whispers between them as they face each other in the clinch.

"You've already taken the first step. Do you have the courage to take the next?" he asks.

	Lian didn't hesitate. Hesitation wasn't something that she could afford to do. Not here, and certainly not now. "Yes," she said, locking eyes with him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Damien releases the clinch and steps back. "Your five minutes is up, Lian Harper. Welcome to the League of Assassins." Damien tells her. "You will begin as my new Head of Security, effectively immediately. My previous Head of Security suffered a minor breathing problem shortly after you arrived. I corrected it for him." Damien tells her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I thank you for letting me prove my worth," Lian said with a bow of her head. "If it is not too much to ask, I would request that my bow be repaired or if I could get a new one made." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"You will receive a new bow, Miss Harper." Damien says.

"Morgaine, show our new head of security to her quarters, and see that her predecessor's belongings are removed after she chooses anything of worth for herself." he says, turning to go.

"We will have dinner later, Jade Dragonness." Damien calls over his back to Lian as he leaves.

He will determine this woman's motives in time, but for now, he will let Morgaine take her measure.

	Lian nodded. "Until dinner, then." She followed Morgaine to her new quarters. She'd gotten in. Now, she just needed to stay in. And not get caught. (Reply to this)(Parent)
