Third Person’s POV

 

 

Ace watches Ashley carefully from the corner of his eye as he slowly trudges along beside her, with the blonde girl’s face tilted down towards the earth. Though she had her mask on, Ace knew his partner better than anyone else, and he could practically feel a nervous aura radiating from her. Her steps seemed heavier than the usual light footed gait she maintained, and though only a minute change, Ace could sense that Ashley’s pace had slowed.

Ace lays his ears back and steps a little closer to Ashley, their shoulders almost touching. The girl doesn’t even respond to his closer proximity, her steely gaze fixed down on the ground.

The Wolf can’t help sighing quietly, ears flicking back. Though seemingly nervous, wheels were clearly turning in Ashley’s head. Ace didn’t know why, or what she was thinking so hard about, but he had the feeling that if Kisame stopped walking a few metres ahead of them, Ashley would be concentrating so hard on her own thoughts that she’d walk right into the man’s back.

Flicking his pale green eye up to glance at Kisame and Itachi, about ten or so metres ahead of him, Ace is somewhat relieved to see that the Mist Ninja seems to be having a quiet, one sided conversation with his Uchiha partner. Considering their incredibly high level of abilities, Ace didn’t doubt for a second that they were both still keeping tabs on him and Ashley, but at least they weren’t fixating on her for the moment.

“Mikä onasiaminunnainen?” the navy Wolf asks in a deep voice, so low, it is almost inaudible. (What is wrong Milady?)

Ashley remains silent at this question, slowly marching along and staring at the ground as if Ace hadn’t even spoken.

Feeling a slight movement ahead, thanks to his activated Katsuryoku, Ace raises his head a little and focuses his eye on Kisame and Itachi. Having heard Ace speak in a strange language, Kisame had fallen silent, with the man’s eyes moving to the side to keep a subtle eye on the two trailing behind him.

Ashley’s Guardian narrows his eye slightly at Kisame as he turns his head back to face forwards, though Ace can tell that the blue skinned man is now listening  intently.

He clearly wasn’t a stupid man. He’d heard Ace communicate in a way he couldn’t understand, and the Mist Ninja was obviously now suspicious. And he well should be suspicious, for all he knew, Ace and Ashley were hatching some kind of plan to try and attack.

“Rouva, kerro minulle, mikä onvialla....” Ace asks again, lowering his head down and gently nudging Ashley’s shoulder. “Sinunhiljaisuusonminusta huolestuttavaa.”    (Milady, please tell me what is wrong…. Your silence is causing me concern)

Hearing this, Itachi turns his head and glances back, causing Ace to look up again. Seeing that the Uchiha is looking between him and Ashley carefully, Ace’s hackles go up and he bares his teeth in a vicious growl.

“Mind your business traitor” the Wolf warns fearlessly, causing Itachi’s eyes to narrow the slightest amount. “My words have nought to do with the like of you.”

Itachi stares at Ace for a moment longer, before turning back around, still the picture of cool as Kisame chuckles with amusement, hoisting his Samehada up on his shoulder a little.
