Yasmeen just stared at the floor. Her eyes were glazed over with tears. How was that possible? Her mother told her that she was fine two years ago...why would her mother lie? Just because she was the baby of the family didnt man anything. She looked at Jiang and nodded. "Oh...." she said looking back down at her feet. Now what she was supposed to do? She loved her sister, but she couldnt fall apart in a bakery!!! She crossed her arms tighter and sighed. She looked at Jiang and gave a small smile, as a tear came down her cheek.

Jiang felt a pang of compassion for the tigress standing in front of him, who was clearly hurt and shocked by the news. He stepped up to her and gently brushed away her tear with back of his hand, then he wrapped his arms around her and gave her a big, gentle hug. "I'm so sorry." He whispered, holding her close.

Yasmeen looked at him as he wiped away her tear. When he hugged her close, she closed her eyes and just wrapped her arms around him lightly.she rested her head on his chest. He was actualy a little taller then she was...wow. She let a couple more tears fall down her cheeks. She didnt stop them or anything. "Thank you..." she said softly to Jiang. No one has ever cared about her before. As you can tell...her mother lied to her. What a family.

Jiang held Yasmeene, and gently nuzzled over her head as he felt her tears roll off her cheeks and onto his chest. "It's no problem, Yasmeene." He replied, continueing to hold her in his powerful arms. "If you need to vent... Or just let it all out... Go ahead. I'm a good listener." He said quietly, resting his head lightly on hers.

Yasmeen held on a little tighter as he spoke. He sounded like he actualy cared. "I have no one Jiang..." she said softly. She shook her head and looked up at Jiang. She sighed and rested her head back on his chest. She shook her head again remembering her sister. The sister she would Never see again...no matter how long she lived. She sighed and let go of Jiang. She felt something in her stomache as she let go. Something else told her not to let go. But she did. She looked up at him and smiled really really lightly. She wiped her tears and crossed her arms again. She felt bad for just coming here and crying..she felt weird. But she knew there was something else going on with her.

Jiang picked his head up off Yasmeene's head, then looked over at Eagle, who was standing on the other side of the counter of the shop. "Well... Yeah." He replied, giving the other tiger and customer a nod, a unspoken request to be given a minute more with Yasmeene. He kissed her head lightly as she released him, then he smiled warmly at her."I'll be back in a flash, Yasmeene." He said softly, gently directing her to sit down on a bench, while he walked over to the counter. "What do you need today, Eagle? You haven't gone through that loaf of rye already, have you?" The barechested Tiger asked, lightly teasing Eagle, as he usually did when the white tiger came around.

Yasmeen nodded and sat down on the bench. She watched s jiang reacted with Eagle. She smiled and getly tuched the spot where he kissed her head. She made sure it looked like she was scratching. She smiled and wiped the tears away. She then crossed her arms again and crossed a leg. She kept her eyes at the ground as she waited for Jiang.

Eagle laughed "no I came here wanted to know if you had any clue whats wrong with that martial arts temple people are running around like crazy like Jung Kun was coming with his D@^ barbaian army" Eagle asked Jiang "and no I didn't kill any one that would cause any madness thats not my business"

Jiang laughed and shrugged. "I dunno. The last time things were this crazy, we had a insane snow leopard ripping apart the down. Personally though, I think the Temple Master is getting paranoid and is making his warriors run more daily drills than ever before. It's like he's preparing for something. I dunno. I don't care. I left behind the life of a Warrior a long time ago." He sighed, shrugging a little. "So is there anything I can get you, Eagle? There's a cheesebread in the oven if you want it. It's great dipped in tomato sauce."

Jiang laughed and nodded. "All right then." He replied with a smile. He then looked up at the messenger bird and tilted his head. "Just ignore him. He comes here every day and annoys the crap out of me until I either agree to pay him ten silver for the daily news, or until I give him some bread." He sighed, laughing a little. "One of these days I'm going to get out my bow and shoot him down." He chuckled, shaking his head. Jiang thought for a moment, then grinned. "Hey, Eagle, I'm going to be gone for the next few days. Could you drop by the shop in the afternoon and make sure no-one breaks in?"

Yasmeen looked at Jiang as he said he was going to be gone for a few days. Great. Now who was she going to hang out with? She didnt have anyone..she had no sister to go visit. Her brother was dead and she was furious with her mother rght now. Maybe she would visit her neice. Haha! That would never happen. She shrugged mentally and looked at Jiang. He was really nice...she is just realising that he was realy cute to. His eyes just made him so...great. They twinkled and made her body just relax and forget everything.

Eagle nodded and walked over to the window "alright" Eagle opened the door and took the note from the bird's leg gave the bird some silver and opened it "well templars are getting aggressive they attacked Masyaf.... freaking English" He laughed and continued to red the note "I think your friend is waiting for you"

Jiang shook his head and laughed. "Those D@mn lions will never learn to let the desert-folk live in peace." He laughed, grinning from ear to ear. He then glanced over his shoulder at Yasmeene, in her beautiful silk clothes... She was gorgeous. "Uhh.... Gimme five minutes, Eagle." He said softly, heading upstairs to the apartment above the shop. A minute later, Jiang came back down, after changing into his usual outfit. Black silken pants, with a formfitting soft blue vest embroidered with dragon designs. He wore sandals, and carried a pack in one hand that contained his traveling clothes. A pair of long bundles were attactched to the pack. His Katana and Bow. He stood over by Yasmeene, and smiled at her. "Yasmeene, I'm going on a little trip... Do you want to come with me?"

Yasmeen watched as he went upstairs and came back down. She looked at him and stood up as he spoke to her. She smiled and nodded. "Yea...Ill come with you." she said smiling. She wanted to hug him. but didntbecause of Eagle. She would later. She smiled and crosse dher arms happily. She smiled and looked at Jiang. She raised an eyebrow and smiled. Where the heck were they going anyways? She would find out later she supposed.

Jiang smiled warmly at her, then took a moment to 'kill' the ovens. He put the bread outside, to be given up for free, then shut up the shop after leading Yasmeene outside. He held his pack in one hand, and smiled at Eagle. "We'll be in Xi Valley, to the East, staying at the Golden Dragon inn. See you later, Eagle." He said, smiling at him. He then led Yasmeene down through the streets to a little stable at the edge of the village. He only had one horse, but it would do. He got Yasmeene up on his horse, which was a strong, beautiful brown arabian horse, then he sat down just in front of her, after securing his pack to the horse's saddle. "Wrap your arms around my midsection and hold on." He said softly, looking back over his shoulder at the Tigress and smiling.
