The woman took her hand away from his lips. He found that quite rude for her to treat him in such away when he had been nothing but a gentleman. She then told him her name. "You have two names? You must be a Roman or some easterner. Ive always found it a little too...........extravagant to have more than one name. Then again, your beauty is extravagant so, it fits." He said with a suave smile, his teeth seemed to gleam, even though there was very little light. "What do you mean, supposed to be? Are you a knight or aren't you? If you are, I'd say your a knight of Aphrodite. For only a woman of ethereal quality could have eyes like yours." He said, ever inching closer to her. He slowly walked around to where she had just recently faced. Her next comment was one of the rudest things he had ever heard. He stopped in front of her and looked her up and down. He then sniffed the air around her. "Yep, you must be royalty. Only a royal can think so highly of themselves as to believe any other person they come in contact with is beneath them. For your information, sweetheart, I ain't no human. I'm the son of a god. That isn't a figure of speech, I'm Autolycus! Son of Hermes, God of speed, sportsmanship, travel and thieves. So no matter how blue your blood is, you can't outrank a Demigod." He turned away from her and walked a few feet away from her with his hands on his hips. "Then again." He turned back to her. "I'm sounding exactly like you now. I guess we both need to work on that. I'm not going to though. I pride myself by having the biggest ego in the known world. How could I not when your as skilled as I am. After all, I am....." He did a quadruple back flip from where he was standing all the way to the gate of the castle and landed on one of the small spikes sticking out of the black gate. Both feet seemed to be balancing perfectly on the single spike. His scarf blew in the wind and he looked directly at her. "....The King of Thieves." He then jumped off the fence and glided all the way to her.

When he landed next to her, he turned to her. "As to what I'm doing here......well that's none of your business, little girl." He then suddenly appeared incredibly close to her, holding her hands. "Unless.....you'd like it to be your business" He said with a grin, eyebrows dancing up and down. He was about to continue when an awkward looking man(Roy) waved at them and greeted them. He immediately backed off, not knowing what could happen. He also noticed that no rain was hitting him any more, but it was still raining. He found it very odd. He greeted the lady as if he was her servant. He seemed very nice though. He turned to him. He smiled and grabbed his forearm in a warm grip. "Name's Autolycus, King of Thieves. Well met. You a friend of...uh.......which name do you use as your casual name. I can never figure it out." He said, scratching his chin. "Ah well, it doesn't matter. Since we all seem to have some sort of mark, I believe we are all here for the same purpose. I am a Bishop. Katsuya, you said your a knight. That means.......whatsyourame over here is a...." He turned the mans arm and looked at the mark. "A pawn. I have no idea what any of that means, except that were comrades. Fighting for the glory of.....Black, I believe." he said, still thinking about it.

He was going to say more, when he saw a redheaded woman(Calliope) standing a bit away from them, watching them. He immediately went to her. "Well, fortune spreads her legs for me this day. An other beauty has come into my.......wait a minute." Autolycus slowly made his way toward her, looking very intently at her face. "I know your face........" He examined her even closer, his eyes then lit up. "Calliope! Apollo's girl! It's been awhile. Last time I saw you, you were pining after that one mortal. What was his name? Adndrocles? Ajax? Atraxis? Anyways, I hope there's no hard feelings about Pyrois. It was only one of your dads horses....and he got them back." he said in a friendly manner. He then stopped and looked at her. "Calliope....what are you doing here? And.....what are you wearing?"
