Jimmy backed off immediatley, stuffing his hands into his jacket pockets.
"I'm not... a cat... I'm new here, remember?" Jimmy said, putting as much confidence as possible into his soft voice, "I'm not with anyone right now..." he trailed off. He was a good liar, and hoped to God that Rico was buying it.

Rico grinned. There was nothing nice about it. Infact it was imbued with a venomous streak. His hand flashed forward and he gripped the boy by his collar, roughly pulling him towards him.
"...Your not marked then ?...A wanderer ? ...Well your the Cats now..." he sneered his pearly whites at the boy. ~Fresh meat ~ was the word that echoed around Ricos head.

Jimmy looked over to Riley for help, though he knew it was pointless. His right hand was rubbing against his knife. His fingers wrapped around it tightly. He went through a few possible outcomes in his head before he finally let his fingers to loosen.
"I'm not a Cat..." he muttered, "I'm a Rat," he finished, knowing he wouldn't be able to escape a beating now. Better to have a single beating though, then to have every Wharf Rat in the city on you.

Riley stood up of the wall as Rico grabbed Jimmy ‘well this is new’ she thought cautiously as she wondered what Jimmy was going to do. She shuffled her feet, and bit the inside of her cheek, letting her hand rest near the pocket where her knives were kept. Now she was worried about what rico would do, and most of all what she would do if things got violent.

Rico's eyes flashed and with a grunt of exersion he lifted Jimmy clean off the floor. His teeth glinted in the sunlight and his arm shook gently. His voice was dripping with malice
"...What in our forsaken God's name is a Rat doing in Cat territory...you've got a death wish boy " his attitude had changed completely from when he'd been sat dossing with Riley.
Rico held Jimmy up before dropping him to his feet and bringing his other hand up in a balled fist, his sharp studded knuckles aiming to connect with the boys chin.

Riley’s eyes narrowed, as Rico threw Jimmy to the floor, and it was then she thought ‘Well, now I know why I could never join clubs, or work in groups’ Because just then she moved with, most likely unexpected agility to where Rico was, wrapping her hand around the arm he had balled into a fist before it could connect with jimmy, she immediately regretted doing so afterward, but there was nothing she could do to take it back. She then glanced up at Rico, seeing what he was going to do, and seeing how different he was acting she was half excepting to be knocked senseless in any moment.

Rico's fist slowed as he felt the pulling force upon his bicep, he pulled his eyes from Jimmy the Rat and focused them upon Riley, he tilted his head slightly looking confused. "...Clover...what the ?" he un curled his fist and stepped back.
"...Why are you saving this Rat..."

Riley glanced over at Jimmy, her eyes narrowed; she then turned back to Rico, and said “He didn’t know…it was obvious” She hung her head slightly, then glanced away, hoping what she said was truthful “he’s obviously not here for any reason” she glanced down at Jimmy, her eyes questioning, she knew this was most likely going to get her into a nice bit of trouble, but she didn’t like to see someone beat into a pulp because of a mistake, she glanced back up at Rico, her eyes narrowed and her mouth firm, she didn’t want to see Jimmy get beat up like this, especially laying flat on his back. She unwrapped her hand from Rico’s arm cautiously.

Rico's face became an un readable mask. For moments he considered ripping Jimmy apart, other moments throwing him in the pit and others just beating him and throwing him from the park. His eyes locked with Rileys face and he nodded his head slowly, turning to Jimmy his voice a deep growl
"...Your lucky Rat that I respect a womans decision...but let it be known to your stupidity and for your own sake that if you ever stray into here again I will personally rip you from another Cats hands and pike your head over the entrance so all will know what a fool Jimmy the Rat was...." he sneered, his teeth glinting before he turned his head back to look at Riley.

Jimmy backed up slowly, trying his best not to show the fear that was pounding away in his chest. Then he did something he'd probably wouldn't live to regret. He swallowed his fear and took a bold step towards Rico. Why? Maybe it was the girl. Maybe it was something else. It could've been a combination of several different things. All Jimmy knew was that he was going to get his ass kicked either way.
"No..." Jimmy muttered under his breath, "No..." louder, "I'm not going to get pushed around by the likes of you..." he finushed, shoving his hands into his pockets. HIs right hand curled around his knife, deft fingers twitching as he waited for RIco's reaction.

Rico had half turned his body when he heard Jimmys tone of defiance. A Rat to be deffiant on Cat territory. Prey to be bold on the predators own ground. He gave Riley a look that may have lasted a life time but it only lasted a few seconds, Rico would not back down from this one and he pulled his fist, curling it into a hook straight for Jimmys head. Ricos upper body spun like a spring loaded gun and his fist sailed through the air towards Jimmys face. The sun gleamed off the sharp rusted studs laid out across his knuckles. The Rat would be made an example of.

Riley backed up, her hands in her pockets, no, she wasn’t going to back the rat up now…he did this knowingly, and wasn’t going to say he didn’t deserve what was coming to him. She sighed, gripping a knife tightly as she waited to see how Jimmy would fight back, and though she knew Rico could take care of himself, part of her was itching for a fight.

Before Jimmy had a chance to draw his blade, Rico's fist connecting solidly with his cheek bone and sending Jimmy reeling towards the ground. His head hit the ground hard, as well as the rest of his body. He braced himself with his elbows and pushed himself up into a crouching position, finally drawing his switchblade from his right pocket and flipping it out with a click.

Rico waited as the boy pushed himself up, his saw the glint of metal and the boys flick knife sprung out. Rico gave a gentle smirk and unclipped his leather sheath upon his belt, curling his fingers around the handle of his combat knife he stepped back away from the boy and drew out his 15 inch serrated back knife. He flipped it in his hand and held it steady, the blade tip glinting in the light.
"...Come on boy if you wish to die "

(Um...sorry if you're hhaving something, but I'm just bored....)
Reji's feet slipped silently across the ground as she cut through Wild Cat territory. Sure, she was putting her life on the line, crossing through here, but who cared? As long as she kept on her guard, she was safe. She looked at her arm, and winced as she saw the bandage. Yep, that was last week's fight with a Wild Cat. And she had done it to save someone. Currently, she could hear someone nearby, but decided not to jump in until it was safe.
She ducked behind a large tree to watch. Two boys and a girl were there, and it seemed more or less like her last encounter. What shocked her was that both of the seemingly older ones had the markings of a Wild Cat, and she could not tell if the other had any or not. Crouching low, she hid behind a bush to see what happened.

Riley had been standing off to the side, not sure if she should join in the fight, or stay out. Well, she knew she should stay out, but boredom said fight. She glanced up from her thoughts, just in time to see a slight rustle in the bushes across from her. She eyed the shrub suspiciously, and curled her fingers around the hilts of her pocket knives, waiting to pull them out until she found need.

Jimmy stayed down for a long time, fingering his knife, twitching fingers thumping against the black handle. He finally worked up the courage to stand up, but he didn't say a word to the Wild Cats. He was as good as dead if he provoked Rico again. God I'm making some seriously stupid decisions today. he decided in his head. He still didn't say a word, just stood there, knife at the ready, rested on his right hip, left hand in the corresponding pocket.

Rico watched the boy. He frowned slightly at being denied a fight but he stood back from his striking position and sheathed his knife.
' He's no threat to me and I think he knows it... ' were the words that echoed around inside of Ricos head. He followed Rileys gaze towards the bushes and narrowed them then turned his head back to Jimmy.
"...You just being stupid coming out here alone or is there any more of you Rats around here....If there are more of you in our territory that can be considered as you Rats starting a War with us Wild Cats....thats something you sure as hell don't want. "

Crud. Reji was debating on whether to continute hiding so she wouldn't get her neck broken, or to stand up and show herself. She eventually concluded that hiding was cowardice, and stood up, gracefully stepping out of the bushes. She ran a hand through her hair to dislodge the dirt and leaves, then turned her gaze upon the two Wild Cats. "War is the last thing on my mind. I apologize for coming here, but I was only cutting through."

Rico was fit to bursting. Two. TWO Wharf Rats had just ambled into the park, Rico curled his lip back in a snarl at the sight of the other girl and he had seen her before.
"..Cutting through !? Just out for a stroll are we ? Well you can just walk back the way you came and move around the park before I whistle in for every wild cat with in half a mile to come running here..."
