Tracour looks like a big tough dude but he's emotionally fragile. This is because he has to go through the pain that his sister goes through. Well, not actually. There is no harm to his body, so he's not injured, but he feels the terror she feels. He feels the sorrow she feels. He feels the hopelessness she feels.

Whatever is being done to his sister is awful, and because of the sixth sense that nanhua have to feel their family members feelings... Tracour is in a lot of pain. Every night he falls asleep, and his mind goes wild, coming up with various ideas as to what may be happening to his twin. Often they would be so horrifying, Tracour would wake up in the middle of the night, tears rolling down his face.

Continued from here (probably gonna rewrite this because wow its just not good i'm ashamed and I don't think it's really flowing well right now.)

NEW SCENE - bedroom Jidos is standing by the doorway as Lyxia tosses Tracour onto the bed. LYXIA: Comfy yet? TRACOUR: -growls- I'm telling you, that guy's trouble. LYXIA: You... really have a one-track mind. Look, Jiji aint gonna hurt you. In fact, Jiji, go fetch him somethin to snack on please 'n thank you. JIDOS: -grumbles as he walks out- Jiji... LYXIA: -yells- BRING A FIRST AID KIT AND CLOTHES TOO! TRACOUR: ...Why are you doing this? LYXIA: You're hurt and you need help. Why wouldn't I do this? TRACOUR: ...you're going to send me back there, aren't you? LYXIA: "back there?" TRACOUR: You're gonna have that reau lock me up. You gettin some money out of it or somethin? is that it? LYXIA: Uh... Jidos is a civilian... he works here with me. Tracour doesn't look convinced and it's obvious he's ready to fight for his life if necessary. Lyxia decides to take a seat away from Tracour and let him cool down for a bit. ~insert awkward silence~ JIDOS: (returns with a bag slung over his shoulder, and a tray with a plate of food and a glass of water) You owe me LYXIA: No I don't, you interrupted my performance. JIDOS: (rolls his eyes before setting the tray down on the table near the bed) Tracour watches Jidos carefully. He may be tired and hungry, but he's not letting his guard down again. JIDOS: (digging through his bag) Did they shoot at you with anything? TRACOUR: ...? JIDOS: If they shot you there's a high chance they are tracking you. We need to remove the tracking device asap or else they'll snatch you up again. TRACOUR: tracking... device...? How-- JIDOS: (pulling out a small tool) Talk later. I'm gonna need you to strip.

Tracour hesitates but decides to go ahead and do as Jidos says. Jidos did seem to be the only reau there... so it was safe to assume that he wasn't going to turn him in or anything... right?

OKAY SO. You've probably seen me mention the name "Tracour" every once in a while. 'cause he's the main character of my story. He and his sister ended up getting themselves kidnapped by some strange organization and got split up from each other and their parents. Tracour is now older and stronger but he's short tempered (like his dragon mother whom I do not have a picture of yet).

I've been thinking of Tracour a lot lately. His mannerisms, his beliefs, his favorite things... just everything. Tracour isn't quite a people person. He's not all "omg I hate everyone" but he does have issues trusting people since he's been locked up for so long. Even after getting friends, Tracour still has a habit of flinching when people touch him. This is because he would often be beaten by his kidnappers (as is evident by the scars on his back from being whipped).

Now that he's escaped though, he's extremely likely to fight back with all his might, even if he knows he's going to lose. The first fight he starts is with Jidos. Jidos recognized the uniform Tracour had been in and so he tried to warn him to be careful but uh... that backfired. And unfortunately Jidos also has a bit of a short temper so there will be a lot of clashing there.

Tracour fights because he needs to let off his anger/frustration that comes with enduring the emotional pain of family members. (They have a sixth sense that links them together and while it's convenient for catching a family member lying about something it's really a burden when a family member is suffering). Jidos fights because he doesn't like when people don't listen to him. Not listen is what got him into that awful organization anyway.

Jidos has basically calmed down though, since he's left the organization and settled down in a city he knows is safe. In this city he ends up living at an inn to help out a girl named Lyxia, who raises money to help the orphanage she grew up in. Lyxia is the level-headed one and makes sure to keep Jidos and Tracour in check. She's also much stronger than she looks, and she's able to pick up the big ol' Tracour with ease. In her line of work though, she HAS to make sure she can defend herself. Sex work doesn't always attract the best people, after all.

Tracour walks through town, wounded and soaking wet. The town is very lively and crowded, with vendors and entertainers all around. People look at Tracour warily, parents holding their children close.

Tracour enters the first building that doesn't seem to be a private residence. It's a bar/inn. It's the middle of the day, and most people are still out and about, so the bar isn't packed. Most of the tables are taken with only one person sitting at a table. They're all sitting, drinking, and watching the dancer on stage.

Jidos, a former reau soldier, however, takes notice of Tracour as he passes by. He recognizes that Tracour's clothes are those of a Reau prisoner.

JIDOS: (glancing up from his cup) It's dangerous for you to walk around like that.

Tracour becomes enraged once he lays eyes on the Reau. He kicks over the table and Jidos quickly hops up from his chair with his cup still in his hand. However, Jidos is definitely posed to fight.

Lyxia quickly hops off stage before they start anything and drops down between them and knocks both of them down..

LYXIA: NO FIGHTING!!

JIDOS: He started it...

TRACOUR: She's a Reau! She's dangerous!

JIDOS: He.

TRACOUR: ...sorry. But you're still a Reau!

LYXIA: ENOUGH! (picks up Tracour and hoists him over her shoulder) You need a time out.

TRACOUR: Hey, put me down!

LYXIA: (drags Jidos behind her while carrying Tracour over her shoulder)
