"Looks like we got a feisty one!" One of the encroaching beastmen taunted, taking a step forward. "Tell you what, give me all the money you've got and maybe we'll let you go."
"Counter offer." John spoke up. "Walk away before I do something you'll regret." He looked over at Alei and gave her a slight nod.
"I guess we're doing this the hard way." The horse beastman behind them stated with a wicked grin. "I like the hard way."

"Oh, you like the hard way? Why don't you have the hard way, then?" Alei said, launching herself up to kick the horse beastman. "Trust me, you'll really enjoy this then." She laughed, and fell back to the ground, landing on her feet. "So, if you like the hard way so bad, then this will be fun for you." Her eyes darkened. She never tried to get into any physical combat, but this was an opportunity she wouldn't want to miss. ( Fire the Watcher of the vale)

John saw that Alei was taking the opportunity to make a preemptive attack. "guess we're doing this then." He muttered under his breath before launching himself at the other two beastmen, one a feline of some kind and the other a hyena. He threw a punch at the hyena, who ducked under his punch and landed a blow in his side. John attempted to throw another punch at the hyena, but the feline grabbed him from behind, restraining his arms. The Hyena pressed the advantage, aiming a punch at John's face. John had a height advantage on the feline, however, and managed to fling the feline over his back and into the hyena.

"My turn!" Alei called out, slamming herself into the hyena. She quickly landed back on the ground, and aimed for the feline next. She grabbed a stick from the ground, and spun around, aiming to hit the feline a couple good times. But, she was kicked away, and quickly got up on all two legs again. "Wow, that sure was smart." Alei sarcastically exclaimed, rolling her eyes, and hitting the hyena with the long stick she had picked up. (back from my eye appointment Fire the Watcher of the vale!)

While Alei had the two distracted, John took his opportunity to strike. He dropped low to the ground and swiftly kicked the hyena's ankle, forcing him to fall to the ground. From the almost crouching position he was in, John kept at the feline, toppling her over. Seeing this, the horse beastman took a step back. "I didn't sign up for this crap!" He exclaimed as he turned and ran. The hyena followed in suit, leaving the feline trapped under John's weight.

"Well, that was unexpected.." Alei called out, walking over towards John. "But, what about this one? Should we let it flee?" She asked, tilting her head a bit. The feline looked a bit helpless without the hyena and the horse beastmen. "Or, well..should we uh.." Alei thought there was no other reason to keep the feline trapped there, after they had clearly won the little battle. "I just want to get this over with, that was tiring.."

"Maybe next time, think twice about jumping people. Someone else might not be so forgiving." He let go of the feline beastman and they took off after their supposed comrades. John turned to Alei. "Well, I suppose that's that." John said with a shrug. "You alright?"

"Fine, I can handle myself. Usually, if I can't get out of a situation by using intimidation, I'll usually find a way out if it anyways. Are you okay, though?" She asked. "Those guys weren't much of a threat, I only have a few scratches. So, again, are you okay?" Alei looked a bit concerned, a bit shocked, and a bit confused on what just happened. It was like a movie just unfolded in front of them. (did John find out yet? that Alei is a human? Fire the Watcher of the vale )

"I'm fine. Those guys obviously didn't expect us to fight back like that. They're probably used to people backing down when they realize they're outnumbered." John relaxed a little before noticing something unusual. He closed his eyes and inhaled deeply, before opening his eyes. "Something smells off here."
(Lol I was just getting to that.)

"What?" Alei asked, wondering if any of the horse beastman's friends were hiding somewhere, and was going to surprise attack. "What do you smell?" She questioned again, waiting for a response. (this is it Fire the Watcher of the vale, Alei gets exposed )

"I smell..." His eyes widen as he recognizes the scent. "A human?" He says surprised, bewilderment in his voice. He stops talking for a moment longer, taking in another breath. His head snaps back to Alei. "It's you. You're the human."

Alei backed away, wondering what John would do to her and how he'd react. "What's wrong about it?" She asked, scratching her head nervously, but tried to look confident. "Is something wrong?" Alei asked, crossing her arms. She was nervous, scared, confused, all of those emotions mixed into her. She didn't know what to say next-- she didn't know what John would say next. She didn't know what would even happen, but she wanted to find out. At this very moment, she was like a salad. A whole bunch of fear, worry, eagerness, ambition, all into one reckless and carefree human female. (ooo Fire the Watcher of the vale this is getting less boring now!)

"What are you doing in Anima City?" He asked accusingly. "Out of literally everywhere else, why here?" He took a step forward. "Why can't you humans leave well enough alone?"

Alei sighed, "I wanted to escape to somewhere else. Somewhere better, somewhere that I can have a new, fresh start, and a new, fresh home. You might not understand, but my hometown was absolute garbage. It's like a getaway, a permanent one, forever. I can finally leave that dump now. But you don't get it, do you? I'm not here to cause any beastmen trouble. I'm here for my own reasons. If I was born a beastman, had the same hometown, and moved to a city, would you judge me? You probably hate me because you figured it out, but once again, I'm not here to cause any harm." She said, catching her breath after saying her whole backstory becausesheneedssomeonetounderstandwhy. ( Fire the Watcher of the vale its fine!)

"Regardless, why Anima City?" John questioned. "If anyone found out you were a human, you'd be lucky to go a day without the police knocking at your door or, even worse, someone just up and killing you." John let his stance relax and transformed back into his human form. "Listen, I'm not gonna turn you in because I don't think you're looking for trouble. That doesn't mean I'm happy about it either, though. This city was made so we could get away from the humans and live normal lives without having to worry about being killed because of something we can't change. I don't expect a human to understand though. You haven't been hunted down by people you thought were your friends or watched as someone you were close to was murdered in cold blood purely for being their true selves. The life of a beastman is hard and by coming here, it shows a blatant disregard for that."

"I haven't been hunted down before, but it must be awful." Alei felt sympathy for John, because it must've been hard living the life of someone who can't express themselves- someone who can't be themselves. "I'm sorry.." She murmured, turning away. "I'll just leave, then, because you clearly don't want me here, and I shouldn't be here anyways. I'll just go back to my hometown.. you know, the place I hate? Yeah, I'll go back there, if you really don't want me to be here because of something I don't choose to happen. You don't choose to be a beastman, do you? No, you don't, and I don't choose to be a human, either. If life wasn't like this, maybe I wouldn't have to go through all of this trouble. I'm sorry for coming here, I should've known better." Alei began to walk away, sadness in her eyes. ( Fire the Watcher of the vale sorry i was playing animal crossing!)

John watched for a moment as she walked off before sighing. "Wait up. If you go off on your own you're more likely to be found out. My scent will at least help disguise yours." He hurried after her. "I can help you stay hidden until you can get out of the city. The bridge is gonna be under guard right now and if you do manage to get out of the city, you'd be likely to get jumped by the anti-beastmen groups that patrol the roads. I've got a hotel room a few blocks from here. You can hide out there."
