<DeathStar> 6* Faile sits off alone, with her back to the metal cage so no one can sneak up on her
* Kaelan approaches her calmly.
<DeathStar> 6* She squints at Kaelan, eyeing her with her sharp gaze
* Kaelan smiles gently to her and moves over, taking a seat next to her. "How are you holding up Faile?"
<DeathStar> <Faile> ... 6* She looks at her suspiciously
* Kaelan blinks a bit. "I'm curious, you're a friend now aren't you?"
<DeathStar> <Faile> A... friend? 6* She eyes her dubiously and like she's dealing with an unstable woman
<Kaelan> "Yes, a friend. I can hardly call you an enemy after what's happened."
<DeathStar> <Faile> Yet you would call me a friend. 6* She replies dubiously to her, as if pointing out the faulty logic
<Kaelan> "I'm... not sure I follow, why shouldn't I call you a friend?"
<DeathStar> 6* Faile shakes her head a bit.
* Kaelan blinks a little. "Maybe I can tell you a little about myself?"
<DeathStar> <Faile> I'm not interested.
<Kaelan> "Oh... alright." *she pauses, trying to consider what to say* "What do you plan to do when you get off this island?"
<DeathStar> <Faile> ... 6* She shrugs her shoulders after a moment
<Kaelan> "Do you have somewhere you could go?"
<DeathStar> <Faile> The world is a big place.
<Kaelan> "Well, yeah it is. I was more thinking... *she hesitates, knowing this could be a touchy subject* Family? Friends?"
<DeathStar> 6* Faile shifts her eyes toward Kaelan quickly, a flash there for a moment, but to her credit, she doesn't lash out. "I am not your concern."
* Kaelan nods and lets out a breath. "Alright."
<Kaelan> * Kaelan sits back, looking out over the crowd.
<Kit> <Azhren> You're no elf, but you wouldn't happen to be one of the nomad tribesman, would you?
<Kaelan> * Kaelan peers up at Azhren.
<DeathStar> 6* Faile blinks as Azhren moves up without her hearing, looking at him.
<Kit> <Azhren> Studying the water got boring." 6He gestures, then shifts to sit still a ways off.
<Kit> <Azhren> The nomads learn to track to hunt and such. I was just curious.
<DeathStar> <Faile> ... 6* She eyes him, clearly watching him warily, then finally speaks. "One of the smaller villages in the plains of Navarro."
<Kaelan> "You know a lot about the nomadics, Azhren."
<Kit> <Azhren> Not really.
<Kit> 6Azhren shrugs. 1"Part of what makes it interesting."
<Kit> <Azhren> I obviously wouldn't know anything about Navarran nomads.
<Kaelan> "Are there Nuege nomads?"
<Kit> 6Azhren peers upward at the sky. 1"Of course. I'm sure there's at least a handful in any land inhabitable."
<DeathStar> 6* Faile peers at Kaelan, then back at Azhren, clearly trying to figure out how to categorize them, a slightly wary and suspicious expression
<Kaelan> "I'm from Oas myself... but didn't grow up among them. After a bad monster attack, Dad moved us north to the Wastes..." *she pauses* "...Still not sure how that was a better move."
<Kit> <Azhren> Most of the Nuegan nomads learn to survive freezing weather and how to find hibernating animals and fish. But I don't really know anything about them except how to recognize their patterns.
<Kit> <Azhren> That ...elf.. with you all. Some of the patterning on her clothing matched some of the symbols I recognize-- but there were so many. I wonder if they were from other regions as well.
<Kaelan> "They were."
<Kit> <Azhren> Usually they're a rather tight-knit bunch that keep to themselves in Nuege. Is it different in Navarro?
<Kit> <Azhren> And... Sinai, is it?
<Kaelan> "Sinai, yes. Like I said... I don't really know. Zeal and I didn't grow up among them, even though we were born in Oas."
<Kit> 6Azhren snorts. 1"Lemonpeel's bow techniques match a nomad method."
<DeathStar> 6* Faile watches them continue to speak, clearly most of it going over her head as they talk about others
<Kaelan> "I daresay the style probably leaks into the cities as well. Why do you call her that?"
<Kit> <Azhren> Isn't it obvious? Dressed up bright and colourful, but still a tart inside.
<Kit> <Azhren> I guess that explains why she doesn't wear any of the patterning. Nomads are usually pretty proud of their roots. Even though most people don't get it.
<Kit> <Azhren> The ones in Nuege aren't allowed to wear the tribe's markings until they pass some sort of trial.
<Kit> 6Azhren shrugs. 1"I guess cityfolk just wouldn't understand.
<Kaelan> "Zeal never even knew her parents..." *she sighs a bit* "She lost them in the attack. Me... I grew up among soldiers and a forge."
<DeathStar> 6* Faile is silent; her long brown hair looks normal, though under it is a few strands there are braided, hidden beneath the straight hair
<Kit> 6Azhren peers at Faile. 1"Maybe you could talk to the elf and lemonpeel.
<DeathStar> 6* Faile frowns a bit
<Kit> <Azhren> ..." 6He looks confused at that reaction.
<DeathStar> 6* Faile doesn't say anything, though she seems to be watching them both with equal wariness, though clearly listening to try to get information
<Kit> <Azhren> ...Lemonpeel knows a lot about plants and landreading stuff. I figured you'd be more comfortable with another woman of your lot like that. The elf was wearing all sorts of patterned clothes. She might know where to look for ...wherever you're from.
* Kaelan peers at Faile. "You know... we'd freely answer any questions you had about us. I'm worried we make you too uncomforterable."
<DeathStar> <Faile> I have no intention of going back where I was from. 6* She notes. "Or any interested in making 'friends'. I'm traveling with you all until we reach mainland."
<Kit> <Azhren> And then splitting ways. I figured. That's why I would have suggested --oh well, it doesn't matter I guess." 6He lets out a slight sigh, rising.
<DeathStar> 6* Faile turns to eye Azhren, squinting with a sharp look. "Suggested?"
<Kit> <Azhren> You don't want to make friends. So there's no point, right?
<DeathStar> 6* She squints more with a frown, as if trying to figure out if she's being lured into a trap
<Kit> 6Azhren rubs his neck, peering to the side at the waves. 1"They're just something to lose."
<DeathStar> <Faile> Speak whatever is on your mind and I'll judge what I take from it.
<Kit> 6Azhren turns to tread back to the bow, eyeing the ever changing, but ever not changing water.
<Kaelan> "Faile... would you like to get that collar off or do you want to keep it? I've never quite seen someone use a chain in that fashion before." *she seems impressed*
<DeathStar> 6* Faile turns toward Kaelan slowly, blinking once, then eyes the collar, looking withdrawn again expression wise. "I'll keep it."
* Kaelan nods, she has an odd look of understanding in her eyes. "Alright."
<Kaelan> * Seth starts to approach the two lovely ladies.
<DeathStar> 6* Faile looks toward Seth slowly
<Kaelan> * Kaelan follows her gaze, she locks eyes on Seth, who grins charmingly, he seems mostly calmed down, back to his mellow self now that he's outside of prison. "I..."
<Kaelan> "No."
<Kaelan> Seth> "I was only going to say hello."
<Kaelan> "For you that's flirting."
<Kaelan> * Seth sags his shoulders, giving Faile a hurt puppy look.
<DeathStar> <Faile> ... 6* She eyes Kaelan, then Seth. "Are you two together?" 6* Her tone suggests she's not impressed.
<Kaelan> "He dreams. But no, we're not."
<Kaelan> Seth> "I---" <Kaelan> "Ut!"
<DeathStar> <Faile> I see. 6* She says simply, her gaze turning back to Azhren, where her true interest seems to lie, clearly ruffled about not hearing what he was going to say
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Do you... like Azhren?"
<DeathStar> 6* Faile turns to eye her, staring at her like she's looking at some talking tigoar.
<Kaelan> "I'll take that as a no. You just seem interested in him a lot."
<DeathStar> <Faile> .... 6* She rises finally, then turns to move off, as if escaping something, or someone
<Kaelan> "Huh... kay. Talk to you later Faile."
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas is about, studying the amulet with thought
<Kaelan> * Seth moves to sit down next to Kael, she eyes him almost ferally and gets up. She moves over to speak to Thomas.
<DeathStar> 6* She moves and climbs up the ship mast and gets to the very top, sitting down alone up there.
* Kaelan looks over Thomas' shoulder at the amulet. "Any discoveries yet?"
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I'm afraid not. Jean might can tell us more, if we can find where she's at.
<Kaelan> "We'll find her, and Zeal." *she says almost stubbornly*
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Yes. I hope so...I pray she's well..
* Kaelan hugs him gently. "Sure she will be. I said I'd get you back to her."
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas glances at Kaelan, and smiles. "Thank you, Kaelan."
* Kaelan smiles and gives him a light peck on the cheek. "I want to thank you, you've been very good to me this whole time."
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas flusters at the peck, looking awkward. "I-well--we are--friends after all."
* Kaelan nods and grins. "And Zeal is like a big sister to me."
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas nods awkwardly still. "Yes, you ... grew up together, and met later again...correct?"
<Kaelan> "It's an odd story, but yeah, we sorta did. Though she can't remember most of her past before the Templars and I was a bit too whimsical to notice much of what went on. We met up again in the Wastelands where she saved me and my father during an attack from the Empire."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> That sounds like Zeal. 6* He smiles softly. "She may seem rough and harsh, but she does care for others."
<Kaelan> "Makes it easy for me to consider her a big sister." *she muses* "Though I doubt she thinks of me the same way." *she frowns* "I make too many mistakes."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> What do you mean?
<Kaelan> "I'm always getting into trouble. And... when we were in Navarro... Zeal was confronted by Karen. She told me not to karm any of the templars attacking us but..." *she looks down, guiltily*
<DeathStar> <Thomas> You---did? 6* He pales a bit.
* Kaelan looks ill and nods, closing her eyes. "I did..." A tear rolls down her cheek.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I... see.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas peers out silently
* Kaelan peers at the water. "I feel like I deserve to be back in that prison right now."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> That prison was unnecessary cruel; I won't judge your actions, because we all had a hand in releasing prisoners onto Navarro. The lines of right and wrong are very blurred these days. I just try to remember I was like any other Templar a few months ago, just as Zeal was.
* Kaelan chuckles weakly. "I... I spent years dreaming I could be a knight like Zeal. Defending the weak, stoping evil monsters and criminals..." *she sighs* "I'll never reach my stars now."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Aren't you Jean's Knight?
* Kaelan blinks, she blushes a little. "I... I suppose I am." *she smiles a bit* "She called me sister too."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Ah. That's good.
* Kaelan sighs a bit. She peers at the amulet. "Maybe I'm just desperate for some sort of feeling of family... or any sort of love at the moment."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> That---can't be healthy. You're among friends. Shouldn't...that be enough? 6* He notes awkwardly
<Kaelan> "It is. It really is." *she smiles softly* "I think I'm still a bit... hurt... from what happened to Dahok."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> It was a tragedy
<DeathStar> 6* A dolpfan (get it?) makes noises at Azhren
<Kit> 6Azhren stares at it, leaning forward.
<DeathStar> 6* It leaps out of the water and back in
<Kit> <Azhren> Hm. Curious.
<DeathStar> 6* Faile leans forward from the bird's nest, looking down
<Kaelan> "Do... you think the Angel really killed him...?"
<DeathStar> <Thomas> He was already dead; she was just giving him an extension, wasn't she?
<Kaelan> "It... I didn't think of it that way... the way she talked about what she did." *she peers at the water* "...Even after I resolved to stop trying to persue him... I cared about him. And... now that he's gone... it hurts. But we weren't together... so... why?"
<DeathStar> <Thomas> He... well...
<Kaelan> "What...?"
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I'm sure... well...people are...complicated
<Kaelan> "He... didn't care for me the same way... but he was a friend."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Indeed.
* Kaelan sighs a bit. "I'm unloading on you. Apologies for that, but I appreciate that you listen."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> It...is alright. We're friends, after all
* Kaelan nods, she looks at him. "So... you were really a candidate for God-General?"
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas frowns, peering away. "....Yes."
<Kaelan> "Feel up to talking about it?"
<DeathStar> <Thomas> It's...not really something...I'm comfortable with. 6* He notes apologetically
<Kaelan> "No problem, I don't want to push you. I was just... surprised when I learned it and... well... didn't think to ask about it till now."
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas nods slowly, peering at the water where the dolpfan makes noises at Azhren
<Kit> 6Azhren has a staring contest with it
<DeathStar> 6* It looks back, while Faile leans more over the bird's nest to stare openly
<Kaelan> "It's more of those ship fish..." *she peers at it* "Jean wanted to make one a pet... heh..."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> She does seem to ... enjoy animal and small children
<Kaelan> "Jean is like a child herself in many ways... I find it sweet."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Yes.
<DeathStar> 6* The dolpfan splashes water up at Azhren
<Kogitsune> 6Azhren narrows his eyes; dripping.
<DeathStar> 6* Faile smirks oddly

<DeathStar> 6* Thomas looks up at the men bringing the dead ligoars. "Wow, you two caught three?"
<Kit> <Azhren> Three. Caught three.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas pauses, then nods glancing at Faile
<Seraphna> Seth> "Wouldn't have been possible without Ms. Faile's assistance. She took one out all by herself."
<DeathStar> 6* faile waves her hand. "Using you two as bait made it east."
<Kit> <Lady> Ah, first real meal in years." 6She clasps her hands together and bows thankfully as Azhren makes a face at Faile's comment
<DeathStar> <Faile> What? I counted on you to take out the other two, didn't I?
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas moves to begin cutting into the ligoars to get slices ready for cooking, handing them to Kaelan since she's the woman
<Seraphna> Seth> "It was an elegant plan."
<Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles and starts getting them ready to cook, she's at least capable of cooking meat, if not incredibly. Thank god someone thought to learn some cooking.
<Kit> <Lady> It's pretty easy to cook in the desert.
<Kit> <Lady> Aren't you going to dig?
<Seraphna> * Kaelan blinks, "Dig?"
<Kit> <Lady> Of course. You weren't?" 6She inclines her head. 1"Dig into the ground, build the fire there. It works around shores and riverbeds with lots of rocks or sand."
<Kit> <Lady> The head of the fire moves to the rocks and sand, and you put it out and bury your game under. It'll cook evenly like an oven in a few hours.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> You know much
<Seraphna> * Kaelan nods and starts to get to work. "Alright, I'll give that a try, I mostly watched cooking done over the fire."
<Kit> <Lady> That works, but you'd have to do it piece by piece. And this way we can rest on the ground warmed from cooking." 6She nods
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "That sounds very nice..." *she smiles pleasently as she works, manual labor is one of her specialities*
<DeathStar> 6* Faile studies Lady with narrowed eyes
<Kit> 6Although not looking around, she shifts her face toward Faile after a moment. 1"Something wrong, miss?"
<DeathStar> <Faile> ... No. 6* Her tone indicates she won't pry into a fellow prisoner's past.
<Kit> <Lady> So you fancy a woman, Thomas McKeenan?
<Seraphna> * Kaelan giggles.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas jerks, flustered. "I--well..."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Her name's Zeal. She's from the same people as I am, and she's very pretty. Stole Thomas' heart."
<Kit> <Lady> Really? You're a Sinai nomad?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Yes, I'm from Oas."
<DeathStar> 6* Faile shifts to sit closer to Azhren as she watches the others talk, always making herself seem distant to their conversations
<Kit> <Lady> If I ventured a guess, I would say you didn't spend much time with Zeal Silas. Or you would know about cooking with the earth.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "We... well, went seperate ways after a monster attack, then we didn't see each other for years until we met again in the Wastes."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> You've met Zeal?
<Kit> <Lady> No, not at all.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Oh... then you've heard about her?
<Kit> <Lady> Mm, yes. A young nomad girl favored by one of the Navarran bishops. Called a desert rose, no less. Sharp tongue and archery just as point. So I hear.
<Kit> 6She chuckles. 1"And Thomas McKeenan-- of all people-- favors such a girl."
<DeathStar> <Thomas>I---well... 6He flusters again
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "It's romantic..." *she smiles softly*
<Kit> <Lady> What about the good bishop?
<Kit> <Lady> How is... Braddock?
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I--- have not had much time around the man. 6His tone is filled with distaste, however
<Kit> <Lady> You don't sound entranced by his status and power, there.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Not all men deserve such status or the power that comes with it
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Braddock can go sleep with a pack of lionroars."
<Seraphna> * Kaelan says this perfectly calm, working on the meal.
<Kit> 6The lady bursts out into laughter.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas blinks at Kaelan, then smiles slightly. Faile looks lost
<Kit> <Lady> Ha-ha. So we find agreement. A beautiful thing.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan rubs her ear a bit and then looks about, making sure it's all cooking well in the suggested way.
<Kit> <Lady> If you keep uncovering it, it will take longer.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan reddens a little and covers it up again. "H-How do I tell when it's done?"
<Kit> <Lady> As I said, it will take a few hours." 6She chuckles.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan nods and takes a seat.
<DeathStar> <Faile> ...
<DeathStar> <Faile> So you all know a bishop
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "A few."
<Kit> <Lady> Know... I'm pretty sure he signed me off.
<Kit> 6Azhren looks toward her at that, frowning.
<DeathStar> <Faile> Signed you off?
<Kit> <Lady> There's a fair amount of paperwork when an acolyte becomes a witch. Apparently." 6She shuckles.
<DeathStar> <Faile> I see. Aren't witches marked by the demons? 6* She asks, curiously
<Kit> <Lady> Saa, who knows? The only witch I've met is myself, if I take word for it.
<DeathStar> <Faile> Hm. Seems any woman with a mind is 'witch' material to men
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Or just a bitch, according to some lords." *she seems to growl a bit*
<Kit> <Lady> Hm. Maybe so, maybe so.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Hm. I do not share that thinking. Some could argue women are superior to men, actually. 6* He notes
<Kit> <Lady> McKeenan bowing down. Hu hu hu!
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas looks flustered. "I'm referring to the fact women can have children and give life. Outside the Gods, who else could claim that?"
<Kit> <Lady> I'm sure people will find a way eventually, if not already.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> ... Hm.
<Kit> <Azhren> An acolyte, you say?
<Kit> 6The woman pauses, inclining her head to Azhren. 1"Mm, yes, once upon a time."
<Kit> <Azhren> Would you say many of those were in Sonniere?
<DeathStar> 6* Faile is still watching the woman silently
<Kit> <Lady> No... I suppose not.
<Kit> <Azhren> An acolyte who murdered her 'master.' She. You killed a high priestess.
<Kit> <Lady> ...I do believe this was said, yes.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "We've not gone without our own sins."
<Kit> <Azhren> Mm, but I can only think of one such occasion in my lifetime. Have you all killed upper tier members of the church?
<DeathStar> <Thomas> ... well... ... yes. We did battle with the God General Cletus...
<DeathStar> 6* Faile stares a bit, lost
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "And kill him, granted, I did die."
<DeathStar> <Faile> ... 6* She eyes Kaelan with her sharp gaze now, then Azhren, since she knows he isn't a liaer
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "...What?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Oh... I got better... mostly."
<Kit> <Azhren> Hence her eye.
<DeathStar> <Faile> ... ... So she came back. From the dead.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Second time actually."
<Kit> 6Azhren shrugs, with a sigh.
<DeathStar> <Faile> ... ... 6* She shifts back from them all now
<Kit> 6The woman peers at Kaelan, speechless a moment. Then muses, "1There's something wrong with your eye?"
<Seraphna> "Yes... it's mostly dead. Apparently it looks very grayed and shot out."
<Kit> <Azhren> Aschae the Fallen.
<Kit> 6The women twitches visibly, turning her head toward Azhren.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas leans back as he peers at the woman. Faile scoffs a bit, and mutters a woman with that much knowledge would never forget her name
<Kit> 6Azhren makes a hop to his feet and draws the sword he's been carrying in the same movement, striking for her neck. In the same frame, she tilts her makeshift bo, planted in the ground and uses her elbow to brace it, parrying the blow and shifts on her hand and side, freezing her foot an inch from Azhren's scowling face with a kick.
<DeathStar> <Faile> ... 6* She watches Azhren silently now, her hand on the dagger on instinct, like she might strike at his back.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Just what the hell..."
<Kit> <Azhren> ... Think that... answers my question.
<Kit> <Aschae> What of it..?
<Kit> 6Azhren snorts. 1"You're dangerous."
<Kit> 6The woman pauses, then drops her foot to the sand and falls back, sitting casually again in a fit of laughter.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> ... Aschae. 6* He murmurs thoughtfully to himself
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "...As if we're not all dangerous?"
<Kit> <Aschae> Yes! That's the part that makes me laugh.
<Seraphna> * Seth steps back up to the camp, off to the side for a bit for something, he takes a seat and eyes them all.
<Kit> 6Azhren sits, looking annoyed. He puts the sword up, since no one but him seems to be taking note.
<DeathStar> 6* Faile keeps eyeing Azhren with her dagger in hand
<DeathStar> <Thomas> You are Aschae.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Don't think I've ever heard the name before."
<Kit> <Aschae> The man is travelling with fugitives of the church who set the most vile criminals across the land and fancying company of a lass that can kill ligoars with a knife and men with her own bonds-- and is disturbed by me. Hu hu hu! Ha ha!
<Kit> 6Azhren sighs, peering to the side. The woman peers at Thomas. 1"Mmm..?"
<Seraphna> Seth> "...The lady has a point."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I am just surprised to meet you
<Kit> <Aschae> More now than before?
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Hm. I suppose not. Fate is interesting
<Kit> <Aschae> We're all only human. People of the earth. Something is always given in exchange for something taken. I took my master's life in exchange for my own. But the joke's on her-- mine's clearly on a payment plan." 6She chuckles.
<Kit> 6Aschae puts her chin in her hand, elbow leaned on knee and glances over at Faile. 1"Hmm, though I've been curious if that one isn't a halfling."
<DeathStar> 6* Faile glances at Aschae sharply
<Kit> <Aschae> What? If so, I'd have only apologized for saying we're all human. Hu hu hu. You can put the fishcutter away. I doubt the man enamored by your savage beauty will take the sword to your throat. And if he tries, you could always strangle him with that chain.
<Kit> 6Azhren jerks, peering back and forth several times, frowning, then gets up and walks off for the moment.
<DeathStar> 6* Faile looks at Azhren as he leaves, warily a bit now, but she sets the dagger down. "He's not interested in my beauty." 6* She says, more hopeful than anything, but eyes Aschae. "So you are famous?"
<Kit> <Aschae> Saa, I wonder? You've been in the same cage as I-- did we often get news of the outside?
<Kit> <Aschae> In light of the church's explanation, I believe 'notorious' is more likely.
<Seraphna> Seth> "I know I am." *he grins* "Aschae, pretty name."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> You ar erather notorious. But then again, so am I by now. History is made by the victory, or those in power
<Kit> <Aschae> Hearing about yourself is never any fun unless you're a narcissist.
<Kit> 6Aschae sighs and shrugs, her eyes closed again and smiling. 1"Perhaps you could enlighten me, however. It's not very prudent to run about ignorant."
<Kit> <Aschae> Tell me about yourselves-- and myself. I have been under a rock, so to speak.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Hm. Perhaps Kaelan should go first
<Kit> <Aschae> Mm, but she needs to unbury the ligoar.
<Kit> 6Aschae chuckles. 1"It should be finished and I bet the halfling's as hungry as I am."
<DeathStar> 6* Faile eyes her, then shifts her hair aside so her human ears are visible
<Kit> <Aschae> Fancy that! Do you know if you're a half-halfling, perhaps? You move like one. So lithe and graceful-- yet deadly.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Umm... I suppose I could..."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Hm. Not all half elves would have the ears, though, would they?
<DeathStar> <Faile> ...
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "We have elven friends. I still don't see a difference between elves and humans past looks."
<Kit> <Aschae> Ah, but not having them is enough to keep you from being someone's pillowslave.
<DeathStar> <Faile> ... all women are merely pillowslaves to some men. 6* She notes curtly
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I'm no pillowslave."
<DeathStar> <Faile> Not even to that 'lord'? 6* She says, picking up on her tone from earlier
<Seraphna> * Kaelan grits her teeth. "He tried. I didn't let it happen. He's dead now anyway."
* Jen has joined #TAW-Medieval
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Jen
<DeathStar> <Faile> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Faile rises and moves off into the night silently
<Kit> <Aschae> I agree with both?
* Seraphna has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<DeathStar> <Thomas> ... Men can be monsters.
<Jen> * Kaelan frowns and peers at the fire. "Some men are worse then monsters."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> ... 6* He peers down guility
<Kit> <Aschae> Some woman can be even crueler.
<Jen> Kaelan> "Thomas, you are as far from being a monster as I am from being a 50 foot Tigroar."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I suppose anyone can be a monster; I just know that the fact I wasn't around to help you all wiht the slavers...
<Jen> Kaelan> "You weren't around, that doesn't make it your fault."
<Jen> Seth> "I've met men turned monster, you're a bunnyhop compared to those I've put down."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I chose not to be arond
<Jen> Kaelan> "Did you know it was going to happen?"
<DeathStar> <Thomas> No. That does not excuse matters
<Kit> <Aschae> Mm, yes. he is a Teddy Bearoar.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I-- ...
<Jen> Kaelan> "You've done more then enough to make up for it Thomas. You're a good man, one of the few good men I know."
<Jen> * Seth leans in, Kaelan shakes her head at him, he slouches his shoulders, looking down.
<Kit> <Aschae> You sound as if you rarely get reward. If it would suffice, you may consider me your pillowslave for the evening, if I'm so 'famous.' Though there is a distinct lack of pillows. Then again , the connotation of the word 'pillowslave,' perhaps the pillow is me." 6She chuckles.
<Jen> Seth> "Careful, you'll make the poor boy die of blood pressure."
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas' face is red with embarrassment and he's unable to speak
<Jen> Seth> "I wouldn't mind such a treat however." *he waggles his eyebrows*
<Kit> <Aschae> Are you worthy?
<Jen> <Seth> "That's for the lady to judge."
<Kit> <Aschae> Mm, indeed." 6She nods to Kaelan. 1"Is he?"
* Kogitsune has joined #TAW-Medieval
<Jen> Kaelan> "He's a flirt, a bit of a pervert, but he hasn't ever actually done anything wrong when it comes to women."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> ... but isn't just one-timing with women...demeaning to...well, them?
<Jen> Seth> "I'd never one time a woman unless she wanted to be."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> .. .6* He squints at Seth. "Oh... I thought you slept...well with... the demon once...and that bar maid... once..." 6* He seems awkward now
<Jen> Seth> "Demon... yes, but she wanted it that way I believe. As for the bar maid... wait... bar maid?"
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas pauses, then awkwardly mentions the women he's seen Seth with. Surprisingly, none on the team yet.
<Jen> Seth> "Ah yes, a fun night... she was only looking for someone to share the time with I assure you." *he gives a gentlemanly look*
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I--see. Do you think you will...settle on one woman ever?
<Jen> * Seth smiles a bit and looks at the fire. "I believe so... I think I've already met her, to tell the truth."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Jean?
<Jen> * Seth nods a bit.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> She is a nice girl. 6* He seems to refer to the 'Jean' persona
<Jen> Seth> "She is... both sides really, though it's hard for people to see it I suppose."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> You speak with her other half often...?
<Jen> Seth> "Not often, but I have a special talent in reading people. The girl says a lot of things while meaning other things."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Such as?
<Jen> * Kaelan sits quiet, inspecting weapons.
<Jen> Seth> "Calling us useless and holding her back, when she really only wants to be rid of us because she feels responsible for the dangers we put ourselves in for her."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Hm... that could be true.
<Jen> Seth> "I've found Jean to simply be the Angel without any memories or knowledge. In that way I've come to believe that deep down, Angel is Jean, and Jean is Angel. I understand what it's like to be of two minds about something."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> What if they are two people, though? We don't know much about the angel. It may even be why the angel will destroy Tareh - maybe she has a third... persona
<Jen> Seth> "What ifs... I prefer to wait for answers before worrying over such things. What I know are my feelings."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> True; I merely am looking for answers to things. So far the prophecies are coming true, so I want to nkow how the last can be possible
<Jen> Seth> "Mmm..." *he scratches his chin* "I don't think it will be possible, providing we get her back."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> We will; all of them
<Jen> Seth> "It occurs to me, very odd that Gods who clai to be so very bent of halting the prophecies would leave us in that prison, fully knowing we would then fulfill it."
<Jen> Seth> "Furthermore, all the more odd that despite Jean being restrained, the prophecies have not halted."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> We will need to find out answers
<Jen> Seth> "It would strike me as ironic if they failed to apprehend the Angel."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> ... I wonder...
<Jen> * Seth peers over at him. "Mmm?"
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Hm. Nothing; we will learn more in Navarro
<Jen> * Seth raises a brow, then shrugs, sitting back, his look says he has theories of his own.

* Jen is now known as Sera|WorksALot
* Kuroichigo has joined #TAW-Medieval
<Kuroichigo> <Aschae> ..." She stares, a bit toward Seth, even though she has to squint to see him. "In love with the angel, is he..." She looks to Thomas.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> ... It seems so
<Kuroichigo> <Aschae> The angel. The angel..?
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas nods once. "Yes. The last we saw of her, the church had her."
<Kuroichigo> <Aschae> The angel.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Yes.
<Kuroichigo> She slaps her leg, laughing. "Ah, I need a drink. A few years in an animal cage and the world's going to end!"
<Kuroichigo> <Aschae> I guess that explains a saintly boy of the God-General McKeenan winding up there of all places. Fell for that sand-city's flower. Fate, indeed.
<Kuroichigo> <Aschae> Tell me, the rose girl's a templar isn't she? If she's not imprisoned like the rest of us, then just where is she now?
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I don't know.... 6* He hisses through his teeth. "I honestly wish I did. All I can guess is that they gave her to Braddock"
<Kuroichigo> Aschae's laughter ceases, and though her face is smiling, her closed eyes betray nothing of the freezing atmosphere she gives off at the mention of Braddock
<Kuroichigo> <Aschae> I don't picture a girl like that letting herself be a trophy.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Neither do I. Which is why I hope she is safe. I would pray, but I don't know what to anymore
<Kuroichigo> <Aschae> does there need to be something to pray to? If one has good intentions, that should be enough. Did Zeal Silas change her ways knowing the gods weren't what she thought?
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Hm. She is too strong for that
<Kuroichigo> <Aschae> Or too weak not to.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I just hope we can get to Navarro soon so I can find answers. 6* He peers up at the glittering.
<Kuroichigo> <Aschae> We will.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Do you know what you will do after we reach Navarro, or are you waiting and seeing yourself?
<Kuroichigo> <Aschae> A bit of both. You became a templar with strength, right? I became an acolyte with faith." She smiles. "Things will turn out."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Hm. No. That's not why I became a templar. 6* He leans his head back more to watch the glittering, but doesn't seem to be willing to talk about it
<Kuroichigo> <Aschae> Ah, well you are beknowst Thomas the Sage amongst these fellows, I suppose. Whatever did become of old McKeenan?
<DeathStar> <Thomas> He's still around.
<Kuroichigo> <Aschae> Oh...?" She sounds amused, a hand gripping her "staff" to the point of white knuckles. "I should very much like to meet him again."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> You know father? 6* His tone sounds apologetic
<Kuroichigo> <Aschae> We've met.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas nods once, slowly. "Very faithful man."
<Kuroichigo> <Aschae> Wouldn't listen to me, that's for sure
<DeathStar> <Thomas> He listens to few; it is why he is a god-general. None can question him but the arch bishops
<Kuroichigo> <Aschae> Oh. I knocked them out. Guess that doesn't help.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas studies Aschae quietly, always shifting through her words for nuggets of truth
* Kuroichigo has quit IRC (Quit: jmIrc destroyed by the OS)

<DeathStar> 6* The arabian like city is bustling with activity during the early morning as people are n the streets, moving about, hustling and bustling with vendors and shops eagerly awaiting the gold. Thomas moves slowly, still looking drained, despite eating well
<Pariah> * Ingrid walks by Thomas' side, eager to assist if he shows signs of needing help
<Seraphna> * Seth walks along with him, keeping near his side in case the man keels over. "So what are you hoping to find among the books, Thomas?"
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Hm... 6* He peers at Ingrid, then at Seth. "Answers." 6* He notes, then shifts to look back at Ingrid, moving slowly, but offers a polite smile. "This city is quite beautiful. Do you .. like it here?"
<Pariah> * Ingrid nods but doesn't take her eyes off the ground, "Yes, it is much safer here in the city."
<Seraphna> * Seth nods, it seems enough explaination to him. He looks around slowly at the sights of the city.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> The world... has many fascinating places...this is one of them
<Pariah> Ingrid> "It is... very big. Many things to see."
<Seraphna> Seth> "Ever seen a sundown across Matias' port?"
<DeathStar> 6* Some children approach them, clearly sizing up Thomas an easy mark to steal from
<Pariah> * Ingrid shakes her head to Seth but then notices the children and moves to make them shoo
<Seraphna> * Seth gives them a "I know what you're thinking" look and a glare.
<DeathStar> 6* The kids eyes Ingrid, then scurry around her and away
<Seraphna> * Seth pauses and looks at the girl. "Were you carrying a purse?"
<Pariah> * Ingrid shakes her head, "I don't have enough money to bother with a purse."
<Seraphna> Seth> "That's good, you probably don't have any now though."
<Pariah> * Ingrid frowns
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas eyes Seth, since the kids didn't get near Ingrid
<Seraphna> * Seth raises a brow a bit and keeps on moving. Suspicious of damn kids it seems.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> ... are you worried...about children?
<Seraphna> Seth> "One nearly stole the money yesterday... and I should know how it works, used to lift coins myself."
<Pariah> Ingrid> "The urchins are harmless," she continues toward the library
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas muses as he follows, a hand at his side a bit. "Do you enjoy libraries?" 6* He asks Ingrid
<Seraphna> * Seth walks along with them, he mostly keeps his eyes on Ingrid.
<Pariah> Ingrid> "I have never been to one, but I have always wanted to visit."
<Seraphna> Seth> "I imagine most libraries are church controlled?"
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Many are.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Makes sense then."
<DeathStar> 6* They finally arrive outside the large building; there's a few templars about, to make sure people don't walk out with anything, and a place to sign your name - apparantly you need to be able to write to get in. Thomas steps up and signs in their name.
<Pariah> * Ingrid tries to keep her distance from the templars
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas shifts to one side of her, blocking her from their view, as he moves them inside the building; the air is cooler in here from the desert heat, and glow stones set up to give light to areas the windows do not
<Seraphna> * Seth moves along in with him, casually glancing about.
<Pariah> * Ingrid starts hobbling towards the section of books she's interested in. Her haste exasperating her limp.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas watches her go, then nods at Seth
<DeathStar> <Thomas> You should keep... her company while I do.. my search
<Seraphna> * Seth peers at THomas, "Are you sure? We seem to have bad luck with leaving you alone lately."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I will be fine.
<Seraphna> * Seth nods and moves after Ingird. "Alright, just make noise if you fall over or somethin'."
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas looks embarrassed, but moves off.
<Seraphna> * Seth grins a bit and gives him a wave as he rejoins Ingrid, putting an arm around her. "Fine anything you like gorgeous?"
<Pariah> * Ingrid squirms and blushes, "G-going to find books on healing..."
<Seraphna> Seth> "Always a good time. Where should we start?"
<Pariah> Ingrid> "I heard there was an anatomy tome here. It would be required if I am to learn the new ways."
<Seraphna> * Seth starts looking about for one. "Health journals most likely..."
<DeathStar> 6* The health section seems to have few books when they arrive
<Seraphna> Seth> "They don't seem to encourage this study much."
<Pariah> * Ingrid looks at the health books and finds a tome she's looking for and eagerly takes it off the shelf and opens it on the nearest table. She looks at the cross section anatomy with a facinated expression.
<Seraphna> * Seth sits down next to her, looking on.
<DeathStar> 6* Some church officals pass their table, heading to another section as they speak; one peers at Ingrid as they pass
<Seraphna> * Seth watches them out of the corner of his eye, otherwise appearing to take interest in what Ingrid reads.
<Pariah> * Ingrid studies intently the drawings of legs and even runs her finger over them
<Seraphna> Seth> "I see... you want to fix it."
<Pariah> Ingrid> "What?" she asks Seth, forgetting he was there
<Seraphna> Seth> "Your leg."
<Pariah> Ingrid> "There isn't enough left to fix, I wish to prevent for others..." she stares at her lap
<Seraphna> Seth> "A noble goal, to wish to help the lives of others."
<Kit> 6Aschae walks off toward the smithy, casually taking in the city while she has the chance.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan walks with her, having business there it seems.
<DeathStar> 6* A catmew follows them
<Kit> 6Aschae taps on the smithy's doorway as she enters, bowing by habit.
<DeathStar> 6* The smithy turns to eye her. "Oy, you're here for your staff." 6* He brings it out and sets it down. "25 gold if it pleases you."
<Seraphna> * Kaelan steps in with her, Seth's gold on her, having agreed to shop fro Seth. "And... I'm here to collect one of those fine bows and the arrows of course."
<Kit> 6Aschae smiles, moving over and examines it, opening her eyes a bit and squinting, then holds it up, testing both balance and holding it closer so she can see it better.
<Pariah> * Ingrid nods, "Thank you... I just wish I was more capable."
<DeathStar> 6* The smithy points at the bow
<Seraphna> * Kaelan moves over, grabbing the higher tier bow she was shown last night, putting down the 25 gold for it, she grabs up the arrows he'll need. "Looks like solid craftsmanship, I'm sure he'll be please."
<Kit> <Aschae> You don't mind if I test it, do you, sir?
<DeathStar> <Smithy> OF course not
<Kit> <Aschae> Hu hu hu. Miss Kaelan, do you have a sword or dagger on you?
<Seraphna> * Kaelan draws her new sword. "The one I just bought from this man of course."
<Seraphna> * Seth chuckles, "You fixed my friend up well enough.:
<Pariah> * Ingrid smiles and nods, "Yes, but that was a simple illness."
<Kit> <Aschae> Try and get me, if you will?
<Seraphna> * Kaelan frowns, "With a live blade? I suppose I can hold back..."
<Kit> 6Aschae chuckles. 1"Well, whatever suits you."
<Seraphna> * Kaelan twirls it expertly, clearly knowing how to handle a blade, she delivers a swift strike towards Aschae's midde.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Simple illnesses are what most people have to deal with, I'm sure with time a girl as bright as you will learn the trickier stuff though."
<Kit> 6Aschae shifts, using the shaft to glance the blow upward using one hand and keeping her balance centered with the other out behind here and her feet. 1"Hmm, a little higher. Toward the heart?"
<Pariah> * Ingrid blushes and looks away
<Seraphna> * Kaelan adjusts her position as it's deflected, coming around with another quick thrust aimed at the heart.
<Kit> 6Aschae adjusts her footing to the side, and twirls the staff's head down, hooking the blade with one of the newly-added rings, then twists so it grips the blade, yanking with the force of both her hands on the opposite end of the staff.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Adorable, too humble to take a compliment when it's perfectly true."
<Pariah> * Ingrid takes being called adorable with even less grace and hides her face as it goes red, "You flatter me..."
<Seraphna> Seth> "I love flattering a pretty woman."
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas returns to the table and sits with old tomes that he places a paper down to cover the covers; then he opens one, the title labeled 'Prophecies of the Gods'.
<Pariah> Ingrid> "I could tell," she closes the book and stands up
<Seraphna> * Seth looks up at her. "All done with that one?"
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas peers between the two, then back to his book
<Pariah> * Ingrid nods with a bitter smile, "Yes, I... can't read the words."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> You cannot read? ... can I help you?
<DeathStar> 6* He looks up.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I owe you my life, after all
<Seraphna> * Seth smiles a bit. "Well there you go."
<Pariah> Ingrid> "Really? But I just helped Tuppa..."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> You stayed by my side all night. Here, allow me to see the book for you?
<Pariah> * Ingrid nods and hands it to him
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas takes the book. "What section did you want to study?"
<Pariah> Ingrid> "Well, all of them really. But I was looking at the leg anatomy," she shows him the page
<Seraphna> * Seth sits and watches the two, he seems in good humor.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas peers down at the tome, then begins to read it outloud to her, slowly, and his finger under the words so she can follow
<Pariah> * Ingrid follows his finger with rapt attention, focusing on his voice as well.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas continues along slowly, repeating sections she needs to hear again. When he finishes, he glances at her, to see if she needs anything else read
<Pariah> Ingrid> "Thank you," she has a very grateful expression, not wanting to ask anything more of Thomas
<DeathStar> <Thomas> May... I be bold enough to...ask a question?
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas seems flustered, like he's afraid of offending
<Pariah> Ingrid> "Yes?" she seems a bit embarrassed just by his reaction
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Are you seeking ways to... help heal your leg?
<Pariah> * Ingrid shakes her head, "There is nothing more to be done for mine. I wish to prevent this from happening to others."
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas nods. "That would be a great thing... I do not... wish to get your hope up. But I will speak to someone..that may be able to help your... situation. They may not, but-- if they can--- I will be sure to ask them to come to this city when we have... a chance.
<Seraphna> * Seth peers over at him, raising a brow.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas, still flustered, peers down at his own books
<Seraphna> Seth> "I'm sure asking at the right time will produce a positive result... though we don't know when we'll next be back this way."
<Seraphna> * Seth seems torn between encouraging such a thought and a clear undertone of concern, considering what it costs.
<Pariah> * Ingrid looks at the two, confused. She never imagined getting her leg back so the thought that she might not isn't particularly upsetting.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas silently reads his books, probably not wanting to get the woman's hopes either, but it's clear part of him believes it possible by his expression
<Seraphna> * Seth ruffles the girl's hair. "Don't worry about it, least for now. Want more help with reading?"
<Pariah> Ingrid> "Um, okay. If its not a bother."
<Seraphna> Seth> "Anything for an excuse to enjoy more time with a beauty such as yourself." *he grins* "Which section do you want to read next?"
<Kit> 6Aschae disarms Kaelan, catching the sword as it comes by, then flips it in her hand, catching the blade with her fingertips and presents the hilt to Kaelan. 1"Thank you."
<Kit> <Aschae> Sir, this is a fine creation. What you're asking is modest. Do you need any assistance here I could be of help with?
<DeathStar> <Smithy> I only ask the modest price weapons go for in this town; not many fight here. But I do not need assistance. Just tell your friends about my work if you would
<Pariah> Ingrid> "Please, you've flattered me enough," she pages through the anatomy book some more
<Seraphna> * Kaelan takes it, sheathing the sword quietly, she gathers up the archery equipment.
<Kit> <Aschae> Of course, sir." 6She bows pollitely, counting out money for the man.
<DeathStar> <Smithy> Good travels to you, ma'am
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas peers at Ingrid, a slight msile there
<Seraphna> * Seth starts to read for her what she points out, his tone is steady and he simplifies the words, taking the time to sound them out for her. If one didn't know what kind of man Seth was, it might seem like he's done this before!
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "And I thank you too. Can I know your name sir? I like to know the smith behind the weapon I weild."
<DeathStar> <Smithy> I am Mr. Smith
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Fitting name." *she smiles* "The Smithcraft Smith..." *she says musingly, then bows politely and moves out of the shop*
<Pariah> * Ingrid silently focuses on Seth's reading, blocking out anything else happening around her
<Seraphna> * Seth pauses to explain anything she seems to have trouble with, he seems to have a very good eye for reading the girl, even going into some words deeper after she claims to understand when she doesn't, he seems very jovial about it though, straight and direct in his method of teaching.
<DeathStar> 6* Faile walks down the street near the smithery, looking about silently
<Pariah> * Ingrid she begins to smile and become less reserved in her manner as the teaching continues. She pulls her chair a bit closer so she can read better.
<Kit> <Aschae> Ah, look miss Kaelan. It's Miss Faile.
<Seraphna> * Seth encourages her to get close, having her take over the reading from time to time to get an idea if what she needs to learn to sound out.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan peers over at Faile.
<DeathStar> 6* Faile seems ot be peering about, perhaps looking for someone, maybe even Nephilim
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas clicks his tongue at something
<Seraphna> * Seth peers up, "Something wrong?"
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas blinks, then peers at the passage he was reading, then shakes his head. "Just interesting reading."
<Seraphna> Seth> "Keep it in mind for later then, I'd like to hear what it is you find on our questions." *he moves back to teaching Ingrid*
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I will
<Kit> 6Faile sees it; Nephilim springing from one rooftop to the next.
<DeathStar> <Faile> ...

<Kit> (I'm game)
<@Seraphna> (otays)
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael brings them to a stop after 7 hours of traveling through the thick jungle and sits down to rest, leaning against a tree; Mercy immediately begins to set up camp by getting the tents ready, while Thomas peers about, admiring the beauty of the jungle; there's no sunlight, but there's still light source from the plants growing that glow and floating dots of light
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan joins Mercy in helping her get the tents set up. Seth meanwhile guides Jean to sit, holding out a water flask. "How're you feelin?" *he carried her until she revived enough to walk, or is just now setting her down*
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Better; sorry for making Seth work harder. 6* She takes it and drinks it apologetically
<@Seraphna> Seth> "Oh I didn't mind carrying you around darlin." *he winks and watches her drink up*
01<@DeathStar> 6* Faile snorts
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth takes a break near the stream they found, pulling her tunic off to reveal a simple bra, and begins to wash her face and body; Mercy smiles and gets the three tents up with Kaelan's help
<Kit> 6Aschae finds herself a nice rock-- and sits crosslegged on it, closing her eyes with her hands up as if praying.
<Kit> 6Zeal takes her bow and tells Thomas she's going to look for something to eat.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael glances at Aschae, watching her, then holds up three fingers to see if she sees them, despite the distance
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Do you want me to join you, Lady Zeal?
<Kit> <Aschae> ...
<Kit> <Zeal> If you would like." 6She smiles softly.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> ...
<Kit> 6Nephilim leans in beside Rachael. 1"Pity, she can't count."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas nods, getting his sword and moves to follow after her. "I will try not to get in your way."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I'm curious how much she sees with her eyes closed.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth casually washes, washing her hair much like Rachael does.
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles back to Mercy and yawns a bit. "Want help getting a meal prepared?"
03* Ametsune (notany@cpe-72-177-76-246.austin.res.rr.com) has joined #taw-medieval
<Kit> <Nephilim> If her eyes are truly closed-- would she not see nothing?
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> You'd think so, but she seems to know what is going on, so I was curious if she was telling by sounds or not, hence the three fingers
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> That would be most kind of you, Maid Lady Kaelan
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> Clever until you said aloud how many there were.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Well, if she commented now, then we'd know it was sound
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles and moves over to start getting out the food.
<Ametsune> 6Aschae chuckles softly.
<@Seraphna> * Seth meanwhile looks over the girls quietly.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth pulls her top off and washes her breasts quickly and efficently; Rachael speaks up. "Aschae, why don't you come sit with the rest of us?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean finishes the water happily and stretches, her top slipping slightly
01<@DeathStar> 6* She seems to be a bit thinner these days
<Ametsune> <Aschae> If that is your wish
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael grins and nods, patting a spot next to herself
<@Seraphna> * Seth eyes Kaelan, who eyes him back, she finishes preparation. "I'm going to go bathe, be nice to Mercy while she cooks." * Seth stares, then tries to think of what to say as Kaelan saunters off to join the other girls in the water.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy goes through their supplies, hmmming to herself as she picks various vegetables and spices.
<@Seraphna> Seth> "Wh-What'd I do?" *he looks at Mercy*
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan gets out of her clothes and slips into the water.
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> Hm? I do not know, Sir Seth, what did you do?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth finishes and begins to put on her top again
<@Seraphna> Seth> "I dunno. She's been sore towards me lately though." *he rubs the side of his nose a bit* "Figured she might'a mentioned to you, you two bein all maidlike together."
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> It is not my place to ask questions of what is on someone's mind.

<Eluere> 6Aschae gathers herself up off her rock and moves over to sit beside Rachael.
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> If someone wishes to speak, then I will of course listen. I have found many don't like being asked what they are thinking
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean isn't in the water
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael gives Aschae a smile. "So, what sort of things do you like to do?"
<Eluere> 6Aschae pauses, then gives Rachael a wicked grin in return. 1"Does sitting in silence count?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael giggles. "I guess so; do you want me to be silent, then?"
<Eluere> <Aschae> I recall asking for no such thing. Your voice is naught but pleasant my dear.
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan just gets in the water then, starting to wash.
<@Seraphna> * Seth fixes Jean's top as he listens to Mercy. "Interesting, do you like being asked?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth peers at Kaelan, moving to get out of the water. Jean blinks, fixing her top
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> Being asked what, my lord?
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan blinks a bit and looks at Lenneth. "Washed up?"
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Hee. Thanks. But besides silent sitting, what else do you like to do?
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Yes. I just wanted to remove some sweat.
<Eluere> <Aschae> Breaking rocks, dabbling in a little witchcraft. You know, usual little girl things.
03* Ametsune (notany@cpe-72-177-76-246.austin.res.rr.com) has joined #taw-medieval
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Hm, I don't know if girls typically break rocks
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan nods. "How're those sword lessons coming along?" *she smiles softly*
<Ametsune> 6Aschae tilts her head, but continues to smile, not phased by her joke being lost on that.
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> They are coming along well, though Rynar seems to have wandered off.
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> "Probably to brood, if you need further lessons, let me know... I'm somewhat handy with a blade."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers up, looking lost in thought. "I've missed this place. What kingdom were you from originally, Aschae?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth bows her head a bit. "Thank you."
<@Seraphna> * Seth grins a bit at Jean. "You should get rest early tonight. You still seem pretty tired."
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan gives her a smile and nods.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Aw. 6* She pouts. "But then I'd miss time with you all." 6* She gives a cute look
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy begins to make a vegetable and deeretard soup
<@Seraphna> Seth> "I'm sure Kaelan will have no objection to joining you." *he smiles*
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> She wants to go to bed early?
<@Seraphna> Seth> "She seems to enjoy spending time with you in any way she can get."
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> I enjoy spending time with all of you, too!
<Ametsune> <Aschae> Oh, a rather humble place. Islen, actually. You are from this place, are you not?
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan finishes cleaning quietly and gets up, drying and getting dressed, before wandering over to Rachael and Aschae.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Yes. I spent most of my life here. Met Neph here, too. 6* She pats Nephilim like she were a lost puppy, being teasing
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> I found her, actually. She was a cute kid.
<Ametsune> <Aschae> I bet.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael makes a face at being reminded that she's the little sister of the dynamic
<Ametsune> <Aschae> You both look like youngling to me.
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> I'm probably three times your age!
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> So you're a grandma, then?
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> Uh, no. I'm not even a mama.
<Ametsune> 6Aschae chuckles.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael pets her ears, grinning at Nephilim. "So, was Islen a nice place?"
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan takes a seat by them quietly.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael smiles at Kaelan, taking her hand to pet Nephilim's ear, too
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan blinks and blushes a bit, proceeding with the petting.
<Ametsune> <Aschae> All things considered. I lived on a mountain most of it. Abandoned as a child, I grew up in a monastary for a long time, but when I was noticed to have the potential to be an adept I was sent to the city, since the main branch of the church is there.
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> ..A.. bandoned..." 6She sways, then pauses. 1"Wait, Islen?" 6She eyes Aschae. 1"I've been there. I don't remember hearing about a murder in the church."
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> "Murder? Where'd that come from?"
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> She said she knocked off the head priestess of the order. It's why she was in the brig.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Maybe they kept it quiet?
<Ametsune> <Aschae> I'm sure it's a dirty little secret by this point, yes. Wouldn't instill confidence in the Church's judge of character or authority if their apprentice adepts can overwhelm their high figures.
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> It's not like I was looking for news... I was there...
<Ametsune> <Aschae> Perhaps you missed the opportune time." 6She smiles softly.
<Ametsune> 6Nephilim frowns, eyeing her suspiciously.
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> "Mmm..."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean suddenly begins to dance around the fire while Flaile blows on some reed that makes music; her top keeps sliding down
<Ametsune> 6Nephilim perks a bit, ears and all, gazing over. 1"Eh?"
<@Seraphna> * Seth watches appreciatively.
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan pets Neph's ear more.
<Ametsune> 6Nephilim peers at Kaelan. 1"That's nice, but your fingers are kind of rough."
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan blinks, then looks at her hands self-conciously. "I-I..."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Faile keeps playing the tune as Jean swirls, dancing some dance not seen before; her hips sway side to side, and her hands go above her head as she does.
<Ametsune> 6Nephilim listens carefully, her eyes dancing along the movements
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean shakes her hip side to side, moving in a slow circle and shaking her butt as well, not minding her top slipping and she goes down low, then back up as she dances, then she begins to dance and show off her belly like an exotic dancer, bending backwards a bit without falling.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> She's not bad
<@Seraphna> * Seth stares, looking quite interested in the dance.
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan peers over, blushing more.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Nephilim, you should dance, too.
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> I don't know it-- yet.
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan huffs and thinks, then moves over, joining Jean in the dance.
<@Seraphna> * Seth enjoys the bonus content.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> You were always amazing how you learned moves quickly. 6* Jean shifts and bounces her butt against Kaelan as she sways her hips, moving low against her, then rising up and putting an arm around Kaelan's head, leaning back to face her as if to kiss - but then dances away, shaking her body again and doing the belly dancing moves
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan giggles, dancing with her, getting into it.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean bumps her hips against Kaelan's, then turns to face her, doing the low thing and getting between her thighs, playfully blowing at her legs, then rises slowly, so they're face to face, her breasts bouncing in front of Kaelan's, almost touching
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan bounces back, causing them to touch a moment before she turns about and sways her hips, slowly moving down, leaning back towards Jean and wiggling. Seth nearly falls over.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean does her belly dance and hip swaying while she leans back against her, her hands on Kaelan's head a bit as she dances. Faile picks up speed on the reed
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan rises and slips around behind Jean with a twist, a swordsmans disarm, only her hands catches Jean's, raising them high to spin her around.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks at the spin, then giggles like it was great fun, her top sliding down completely now; her breasts aren't shrinking, and dhe doesn't look thinner, but Seth might have noticed she seems lighter to carry lately
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan giggles and dances in closer to Jean, deftly pulling her top back into place with a blush, she kisses Jean's cheek.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Aww. 6* She boos playfully
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean shifts to change her movements to a more fast pace close dance, apparantly very lithe and flexible; her blonde hair wiggles a bit as she dips Kaelan and bring her leg up along Kaelan's side, then giggles, saying some foreign ancient word
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan repeats the word softly and curiously, not understanding it, but trying it out, she looks up at Jean.
<@Seraphna> * Seth decides he likes blondes, two of them whenever he can get them.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean goes back to doing the dance, dancing back and forth with Kaelan, almost a fast beat thing, and she uses the mark to help Kaelan follow the steps; Kaelan would sense she has no idea where this memory of the dance comes from, just that she knows it, and then she dips Kaelan almost to the ground, and snaps her back up, giggling, but then almost drops her, having a momentary weakness
Session Time: Sun Aug 29 00:00:00 2010
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan adjusts their positioning and pulls her close as she leaps into a stand, she looks into Jean's eyes concerned.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Sorry, guess Jean needs some food in her tummy
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan nods and grins. "It's fun dancing."
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Yep! 6* She peers at Seth. "Seth should dance with Azhren and Thomas!"
<@Seraphna> * Seth goes red. "D-Dance...?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean nods completely innocent. Racheal snickers
<@Seraphna> Seth> "I-I'll have to confer with the other menfolk, we rarely dance without a lady."
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan grins.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Well, that is not fair; me and Kaelan just danced! It made my heart beat fast!
<@Seraphna> Seth> "W-Well..."
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> "Boys play different, sis."
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Why?
01<@DeathStar> 6* She hugs Kaelan, putting her face against her chest
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan eeps and blushes. "It's just how they are. They find girls strange too."
<@Seraphna> Seth> "Aye."
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> You think I'm strange? 6* She sniffles
<@Seraphna> Seth> "If I do, it's in a good way."
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan giggles. "I'm strange."
<@Seraphna> * Seth motions like evidence has been presented.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Kaelan's not strange!
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan blushes. "Of course I am, I like to do a lot of things boys do, I fight and I wear trousers instead of skirts, I barely even know half the female things other girls do because I spent my years rolling about in muck and roughhousing with guys. I know I'm strange, I embrace it."
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Jean not know female things either!
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> "Y-Yeah but... you're girly and pretty without even trying..."
<@Seraphna> * Seth grins a bit and shakes his head.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> so is Kaelan. 6* She says matter of factly
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan blushes. "I-I..."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean nods at Seth. "Just like Seth is manly and pretty without even trying."
<@Seraphna> * Seth grins and puffs his chest out a bit. Totally strutting.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean watches Seth strut, tilting her head
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan giggles. "Awww, you've made him all proud."
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> I was only stating a fact.
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> "Yeah but, self image matters to people. If you tell them things they like, they'll feel better about themselves."
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Oh. So if I said you had nice sized breasts, you'd feel happy?
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan blushes and looks away a little. "D-Do you think so?"
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Yes.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> You are very pretty with big breasts
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan goes crimson and hides her face in Jean. "I-I..."
02* Rynar (mr_nnj@pool-173-79-62-155.washdc.fios.verizon.net) Quit (Quit: Silence says more than words ever could.)
03* Rynar (MrNNJ@pool-173-79-62-155.washdc.fios.verizon.net) has joined #taw-medieval
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> What? Why are you not moving around like Seth?
<@Seraphna> Seth> "Because she handles compliments differently, for one, she's too modest to immediately believe them."
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Oh. 6* She focuses on the mark to make Kaelan believe it.
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan pauses and blinks a bit, smiling a little. "That felt a little odd..."
<@Seraphna> * Seth raises a brow.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> O-Oh, so-sorry.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean hangs her head in shame
02* @Seraphna (gabbyleen@cpe-69-206-170-185.hvc.res.rr.com) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean hangs her head in shame

<@Seraphna> * Kaelan tilts her head, then lifts Jean's head up by the chin gently. "Sorry for what?"
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> You said it felt odd
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> "Well yes. Was it supposed to feel some other way?"
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Um, nice
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> "O-Oh... well it didn't feel bad."
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Really?
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan nods.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean relaxes and smiles
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles back and hugs her.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean returns the hug
02* @Kaelan (gabby.crei@cpe-69-206-170-185.hvc.res.rr.com) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean smiles. "We can share thoughts and feelings with each other if you focus real hard."
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan blinks and closes her eyes, trying to feel Jean.
01<@DeathStar> 6* She can feel her presence indeed
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan tries to focus on her thoughts and feelings.
01<@DeathStar> 6* They're there - happiness and love for everyone, thoughts on dinner and what delicious fruit Kaelan might have hidden
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles and produces a shiney red fruit. "Clever."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean giggles and takes it, biting into it happily. "Thank you!"
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan leads her to sit, giggling too.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean sits by her, happily eating the fruit, some juices moving down her chin
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan blinks and leans over, licking them up. Seth leans over, staring.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, then giggles at the sensation, squirming like a child while smiling
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan blushes a little and smiles. "Messy juices."
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Your tongue felt weird, but nice
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles. "Oh?" *she licks Jean's cheek, Seth leans more*
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean giggles, and licks Kaelan's nose in return
01<@DeathStar> (:O)
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* Jean eats the fruit
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles and cleans off the rest of the juice with a finger. "You certainly love fruit."
01<@DS[SadIll]> <Jean> It's sweet!
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan giggles. "Wait till we show you sweets."
01<@DS[SadIll]> <Jean> Sweets? Like the pan-cake Mercy made?
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* Mercy cuts vegetables up deligently, while Rachael peers at Aschae. <Rachael> What's your favorite color?
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> "Sort of like that, but more pure sugars..."
<@Seraphna> Seth> "Did that deertard give you enough meat, Mercy?"
<Kit> <Aschae> Hm. That's difficult to answer.
01<@DS[SadIll]> <Mercy> Yes, there's plenty. 6* Faile quits playing the tune on the reed
01<@DS[SadIll]> <Rachael> Oh. Sorry if I'm asking too much, I'd like to get to know you better; Azhren and Rynar don't look very talkative and Faile likes playing with her knife too much
<@Seraphna> * Seth peers over at Faile. "That was lovely by the way, where'd you learn to do that?'
01<@DS[SadIll]> <Faile> Picked it up on the grasslands
02* Rynar (nnj@pool-173-79-62-155.washdc.fios.verizon.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<Kit> <Azhren> It's merely more complicated than simply saying a color. I like the color of rose quartz placed before a sunset.
<@Seraphna> Seth> "Hmm... play anything else?"
01<@DS[SadIll]> NRP: Ah, Azhren's really a big softie
01<@DS[SadIll]> <Rachael> Wow, what does it look like?
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* Faile eyes him, then blows into it to make a sharp shrill noise at Seth. Lenneth and Rachael and Jean flinch more so than Mercy
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan looks over, rubbing an ear.
<@Seraphna> Seth> "Lovely."
01<@DS[SadIll]> <Rachael> Ow..ow.. <Lenneth> What a terrible sound.
<Kit> 6Nephilim falls out of a tree in the background
<Kit> <Aschae> Depends on the quality of the quartz. Most are pink-- some have a very deep, lustrous red. It cases a hue, the light through the stone bathes everything in front of it in the color of a deep crimson.
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* Lenneth shakes her head, and Rachael rubs her hidden ears
<@Seraphna> * Seth sits next to Faile and grins a bit. "So, ever plan on going back to your home?"
01<@DS[SadIll]> <Faile> ... no
01<@DS[SadIll]> <Rachael> It sounds lovely. 6* Jean shakes her head like a dog would, then seems fine again
<Kit> <Aschae> Mmhmm.
<@Seraphna> Seth> "Nothing to go back to at all then?"
01<@DS[SadIll]> <Faile> Nothing I'd want to go back to
01<@DS[SadIll]> <Rachael> My favorite color is love
<Kit> <Aschae> Oh?
<@Seraphna> Seth> "Not even for revenge?"
01<@DS[SadIll]> <Rachael> Yep. 6* She points between ASchae's legs. "That color."
01<@DS[SadIll]> <Faile> I got the revenge I wanted
<Kit> 6Aschae tilts her head.
<@Seraphna> * Seth nods. "So where do you plan to go from here? You can still escape our stigma, you know."
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* Rachael looks innocent
01<@DS[SadIll]> <Faile> I don't know yet; once I'm out of the jungle, I will find a town
<Kit> <Aschae> So you like a pink that's saturated with moisture.
<@Seraphna> Seth> "Next city on the other side of this is Matias.. good place to make a new start."
01<@DS[SadIll]> <Rachael> I--er... y-yeah.
01<@DS[SadIll]> <Faile> Yeah.
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan takes out a knife, starting to sharpen it as she watches the others, sitting close to Jean.
<@Seraphna> Seth> "Still, you'll be missed, you're a lionroaress in combat."
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* Faile eyes him. "Are you flirting with me?" 6* She tosses her knife up and down
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* Jean watches Mercy fix the food, all curious, her eyes twinkling almost, her head tilted a bit
<@Seraphna> Seth> "If I was?"
01<@DS[SadIll]> <Faile> I'd advice returning to your attempts on the angel. 6 She notes simply, the knfe being tossed up and landing near his hand
<@Seraphna> Seth> "I'm just making pleasent conversation." *he grins a bit*
01<@DS[SadIll]> <Faile> A matter of perspective
<Kit> <Aschae> I see. I see." 6She chuckles.
<@Seraphna> * Seth slumps. "You cut deep with those words, Faile. Deep."
<Kit> 6A shadow is cast over Seth.
<@Seraphna> * Seth peers around slowly.
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* Rachael leans forward, watching everyone. "What do you think of the world and people - in general I mean, Aschae."
<Kit> 6Azhren peers down at Seth disapprovingly.
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* Jean shares some fruit with Kaelan, then offers a bit to ASchae; she has more fruit juice on her chin
<@Seraphna> Seth> "Azhren! Just the man I needed to see!" *he hops up* "Gonna need your help mate."
<Kit> <Azhren> ...
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan eats what's offered, smiling.
<@Seraphna> * Seth grins, in that completely incouragible way, not an inch of him appears intimidated by Azhren.
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* Faile eyes Seth suspiciously, wondering what he plans to do to poor Azhren
<Kit> <Aschae> They vary wildly.
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* Rachael nods, sighing, looking distant in thought
<@Seraphna> Seth> "I'm gonna go after some big game, should keep us fed for a couple days. You in?"
<Kit> <Azhren> ... Would rather go with La-- Faile.
<@Seraphna> Seth> "I see, well keep it up, strong silent character type." *he pats Azhren's shoulder and moves to get his bow*
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* Faile rises. "I think I will get some food, too. More food." 6 *She says, moving in a direction Seth doesn't pick
<Kit> 6Azhren follows Faile, mumbling under his breath. 1"Thank the heavens..."
<@Seraphna> * Seth sighs, denied his amazing manly bonding time with Azhren in which they would have had an epic adventure, one which would change their lives forever. Instead, he winks to Jean. "You'll be alright here, darlin?"
01<@DS[SadIll]> <Faile> That man. 6* She mumbles about Seth, but adds no more; apparantly those two words are enough
01<@DS[SadIll]> <Jean> Do you want me to come, too?
<Kit> <Azhren> Indeed.
<@Seraphna> Seth> "You up for the walk? Oh dancing angel?"
<Kit> 6Aschae turns her head toward Seth, frowning.
01<@DS[SadIll]> <Jean> Sure! 6* She hops up, all eagerish, her top slipping a bit. Lenneth trains with her sword off to one side of the camp
<@Seraphna> * Seth smiles. "Alright then, never did get to finish our lesson. Come along." *he holds out a hand for her*
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* Jean takes it.
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan looks between them. "I'll go... help Lenneth. I'd likely scare the game before it can be caught."
<@Seraphna> * Seth winks. "I'll be good, rest assured."
01<@DS[SadIll]> <Jean> I bet Kaelan could help!
<Kit> <Aschae> That man." 6She says, as if it explains it all.
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* RAchael blinks, peering at Seth, then frowns a bit at the idea of the two going off alone again
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan blinks, "You think...?"
<@Seraphna> Seth> "Well, she could use some practice with a bow, since Zeal seems too tired to give her lessons."
01<@DS[SadIll]> <Rachael> Kaelan is a strong warrior!
<@Seraphna> * Kelan blushes, "B-But I can't hit the broad side of a barn with an arrow."
<@Seraphna> Seth> "I'll teach you the trick."
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan blinks and blushes a bit more, getting up and grabbing her sword belt and bow.
<@Seraphna> * Seth turns towards Aschae. "Is that a good enough Chaperone, my dear flower?"
<Kit> <Aschae> Haven't said a word, my dear boy.
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* Thomas is usy talking to Zeal about various things, trying to woo her as best he can; he eyes Seth at his comment
<@Seraphna> * Seth winks to Aschae.
<@Seraphna> * Seth gives Thomas a salute that says 'Woo Indeed!' without any words.
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* Jean moves along after Seth, taking her other hand to take KAelan's
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan eeps and blushes, walking along with Jean and Seth, as Seth leads them into the woods so he might impress them with his awesome Hunter skills.
01<@DS[SadIll]> <Rachael> At least with Kaelan there, he won't take her virginity
<Kit> <Aschae> You think so? I would not push it past him to copulate with both.
01<@DS[SadIll]> <Rachael> Y-You think so?
<Kit> <Aschae> A possibility.
01<@DS[SadIll]> <Rachael> E-Eesh
01<@DS[SadIll]> <Rachael> That Seth. I really can't tell what to think of him - one moment he's all lovey dovey for Jean, next he's hitting on any woman with two legs
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* Mercy sits back as the food cooks, making sure their camp for the night is all situated properly
06* Rynar sits on a stump and sharpens his sword.
06* Rynar Test?
<Rynar> 6 Rynar sits on a stump and cleans his longsword.
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* Lenneth slices the air over and over again with her sword, practicing since it's the first time they made camp since starting out through the jungle
<Rynar> 6 Rynar watches Lenneth go through the forms.
03* Seraphna (gabby.crei@cpe-69-206-170-185.hvc.res.rr.com) has joined #taw-medieval
03* ChanServ sets mode: +o Seraphna
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* Lenneth uses the graceful lithe of her body like Aschae ordered, while doing the forms that Rynar taught her, and mixing it up for some of her own style as well where she feels comfortable. Mercy begins to take clothes to the stream nearby to wash
<@Seraphna> * Seth picks his way into the woods with his company of two beautiful blondes.
01<@DS[SadIll]> <Jean> How can we know what kind of monster is okay to hunt? Most are just want to be left alone.
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* She peers back in the direction of the camp
<@Seraphna> Seth> "We only take what we can eat, that's the simplest rule, and the rule they live by too."
<Rynar> 6 Rynar stands up and sheathes his sword and approaches Lenneth, admiring her form.
01<@DS[SadIll]> <Jean> Oh.
<@Seraphna> * Seth starts hunting down a good beast, Kaelan walking with Jean.
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* Lenneth hears him approaching, so she stops her swinging as not to hit him. "I think I am starting to get a feel for some of the more basic forms you showed me. Though I still have a lot to go." 6* She notes
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* Suddenly, a dark shadow leaps on Seth, knockign him away from the two girls, roaring loudly, the sound echoing through the jungle; it's a fierec two legged wolf beast, that drools and it's arms reach for Seth's neck
<Rynar> "You were doing fine. You were using your own assets to your advantage." 6 He smiles and frowns again as he spins towards the sound of the crashing.
<@Seraphna> * Seth scrambles back a bit, gripping his bow, Kaelan narrows her eyes and draws her sword out.
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* Lenneth whirls eyeing the jungle sound. She grips the sword. "That sounded loud; a bit from the camp."
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* The wolf monster knocks the bow out of Seth's hands, sending it flying. It whirls to growl warningly at Kaelan, and Jean looks afraid; her charms aren't going to work on it
<Rynar> 6 Rynar nods and dashes through the jungle towards the camp.
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* Lenneth follows after him, hopping along over tree roots and bushes. As they run along, the light from the plants and floating floura show the monster ahead. Facing Kaelan and Jean, with Seth behind on it on his butty
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan glares back, looking ferocious, sword out, standing protectively in front of Jean. Seth focuses and uses wind retrieval on his bow as he fishes out an arrow quickly.
<Rynar> 6 Rynar jumps at the creature's back, drawing his sword and unslinging his shield as he flies.
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* The creature roars, then senses Rynar, turning to face him, but only gets around to look at him by the time Rynar's jump brings him in striking range; the wolf creature's claws start to move, but Rynar has the advantage for first attack. Lenneth circles around to another side, waiting - she seems to know she's not experienced enough to go hacking in
06* Rynar Rynar holds his sheild infront of him defensively in hopes of slaming into the creature. At the same time he brings the sword down in a heavy stroke.
<@Seraphna> * Seth catches his bow as it flies to his hand and knocks an arrow, he quickly pulls it back in a close quarters style and aims the arrow nearly point blank and the monster's neck, letting the arrow fly.
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* The creature is hit by the shield, stumbling off balance, then slashed, the sword cutting down along it's shoulder and chest, ripping away flesh and fur, blood splurting out as it howls in rage. As the arrow strikes it's neck, it goes through and out the other side, lodging in there, and more blood splurts as the howl is silenced. The creature twirls, slashing wildly
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* at everyone
<@Seraphna> * Seth hops back, stumbling to get out of reach of it's claws.
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* The wolfman's slashes begin to slow down due to the blood loss and it stumbles about, growling
<Ametsune> 6The earth reaches up, seeking to entangle its paws as it stumbles-- encase and crush them.
<Rynar> 6 Rynar bashes with his shield again and stabs at the underbelly of the beast.
<@Seraphna> * Seth knocks another arrow to his bow, aiming at it's head, he lets it fly, seeking to put the creature down.
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* The wolfman howls in agony as the earth itself crushes it's feet, and then it gets hit by the shield, falling backwards, and it's stomach slashed opend; the insides falling out. It's already dead by the time the arrow strikes it as it falls onto it's back.
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* Jean peers away, while Lenneth cautiouslyl ooks around for more
<@Seraphna> Seth> "...Well... that's done." *he walks over, grimly starting to retrieve the arrow and prepare the corpse* "It certainly wanted us for a meal."
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan sheathes her sword and sighs, she looks at Jean and gives her a hug.
01<@DS[SadIll]> <Jean> Are we going to...eat it?
01<@DS[SadIll]> <Jean> It would be wrong if we don't
<@Seraphna> Seth> "Exactly. We'll honor the beast's memory by cooking. We'll save what we can too for later rations."
<@Seraphna> * Seth admires the surviving fur, feeling it. "The hide would make for a good warm cloak too. Perhaps other things."
<Ametsune> 6There's a chuckle from the trees in way of the camp.
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* Lenneth peers in the direction of the chuckle; Jean seems to already know who it is
<Rynar> 6 Rynar cleans his sword off and sheathes it.
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* Lenneth finally sheathes her sword after seeing no more
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan eyes Rynar. "That was very brave of you, you leapt into combat without hesitation."
01<@DS[SadIll]> <Jean> Yes, thank you very much, Mr. Rynar
<Rynar> 6 Rynar shrugs nonchalantly.
<@Seraphna> * Seth looks at Rynar appraisingly. "You'll do." *he pulls out a large cloth and starts wrapping the beast in it before slinging it up over his shoulder* "Whoo, big guy."
<Rynar> 6 Rynar raises a brow at Seth.
<@Seraphna> Seth> "What? He is."
<Rynar> "I'll do?"
<@Seraphna> Seth> "Aye, I can trust you on a battlefield now."
<Rynar> 6 Rynar shrugs and follows behind, watching their backs.
<@Seraphna> * Seth carries the carcass back to camp, Kaelan takes Jean's hand.
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* Lenneth follows along beside Rynar, while Jean follows beside Kaelan. At the camp, Mercy eyes the monster, all wide eyed, having never seen such a thing before. Rachael blinks herself
<@Seraphna> * Seth sets it down by the fire, pulling the cloth away. "Think we can make a bit with this?"
01<@DS[SadIll]> <Mercy> Well, if you skin and cut it up into decent sized pieces, I could work with it; I already have the deeretard meat right now, so that'll have to be salted and wrapped up for tomorrow morning
<@Seraphna> * Seth grins, "I know a bit about all that from my hunting training, though the salting I might need your expertise on darlin." *he pulls out a skinning knife, working on the fur, cutting it neatly for reuse*
01<@DS[SadIll]> <Mercy> Of course, m'lord
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* Lenneth peers at Rynar. "You were very impressive. I still have much to learn." 6* She offers a slight smile, then moves to where she was training, as if determined to get started. Jean bows to Rynar and gives him a hug before sitting down
<Rynar> 6 Rynar raises his brows at the comliments and sits down himself, peeling his armor off to clean it.
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* Rachael sits at the fire, stretching; she studies Rynar, but doesn't speak. Jean bops by the fire, wiggling her upper body, doing her dance motions
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan giggles and joins her. "Still didn't get any ranged practice, think Zeal might teach me later?"
01<@DS[SadIll]> <Jean> Sure! Zeal is helpfl
01<@DS[SadIll]> <Jean> Do you know how to use a bow, Mr. Rynar?
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* She keeps doing her strange belly dance while sitting
<Rynar> 6 Rynar shakes his head. 1 "Not really."
<Rynar> "Not really."
01<@DS[SadIll]> <Jean> Well, you seem to be good with the sword. 6* She smiles as she bops; then she blinks, offering him some fruit by placing it on a wood plate and setting it to next to him for when he finishes cleaning
<@Seraphna> * Seth sets aside a recovered arrow and carves up the meat into chunks for cooking after he gets the hide cleared, he hums a song as he works.
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* JEan purposely doesn't watch, dancing even more as if to distract herself; she bumps sides with Kaelan
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan bumps back, glad to offer her the distraction.
01<@DS[SadIll]> <Jean> Do you like dancing with people, Mr. Rynar?
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* Lenneth does a twirl slash, then tries to leap like she saw Rynar do, swinging her sword down at a tree. She grunts, stumbling a bit from the impact
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan peers over at Lenneth. "Swing with your hips, not your arm. Treat the arm as an extention of the sword itself."
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* Lenneth peers at Kaelan. "How would my hips help in a jump slash?"
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* She uses her hips for everything else, since she uses her lithe form in swinging
<@Seraphna> * Kaeland moves over and gets her own sword. "You center the strength of your blow with your body, not your arm, even in that form. Watch." *she draws and points at a branch a bit above them, she leaps up, twisting in the air, her arms tense but she leads the swind down with her body, hips leading the 'boost' down as she starts coming down, swinging her blade with the fall.
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* Jean blinks and claps, while Lenneth watches her observantly, studying how she lands and everything.
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan lands in a mid crouch and flips the blade once in a showy fashion as the branch lands. "It's all about swinging your body, not the blade itself, the steel doesn't need your strength to cut, only your speed."
01<@DS[SadIll]> <Lenneth> I remember that; thank you. 6* She nods her head
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles and sheaths her blade. "You've got the core of it in your movements, the second discipline is to learn to be one with your blade, treat it like an extra limb rather then an impliment, then you can cut anything."
01<@DS[SadIll]> 6* Lenneth nods, shifting to go back to her forms, not doing the jump slash again, but mostly working on getting more of a feel for the blade and herself
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles softly. "Excellent, keep practicing, it's all in laerning the movements and to feel your blade. They are a sort of life of their own." *she pats the two longswords at her hip almost lovingly*
<Rynar> "I am not much of a dancer."
01<@DS[SadIll]> <Jean> Oh. Alright. Seth said he didn't like to dance with men, only women, but I like to dance with anyone, so I was wondering if I was weird, or if Seth was.
Session Time: Mon Aug 30 00:00:00 2010
Session Ident: #taw-medieval
<Kit> <Aschae> I prefer to know myself that I need not rely on steel.
<Kit> 6Aschae tilts her head, but seems to gaze over Kaelan, even if he eyes are shut. 1"...Words need not slander a craftsman's love, however."
<@Sera> * Kaelan looks back. "I know myself enough to know that I work with steel."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Something crawls inside Zeal's cleavage
<Kit> <Zeal> Soma?
<Kit> <Aschae> ..." 6She smiles.
<Kit> <Aschae> Then what do you do if that steel is broken? Your limbs are broken?
<@Sera> Kaelan> "Keep fighting, be tough as the steel I use."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma peeks out of the cleaveage
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> You should be as tough as love!
<Kit> <Aschae> Ah... you'll be tough as steel.. fighting steel. Hm. Huhuhu..
<@Sera> * Kaelan blushes and puffs her cheeks.
01<@DeathStar> 6* He then begins to wiggle against her breasts
<Kit> 6Zeal pats his head. 1"Hungry again?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma responds by suckling on her breast
<Kit> 6Zeal jerks. 1"Jeez. Would you like some meat?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma purrs, rumbling inside her cleaveage like a motor
<@Sera> * Kaelan looks over at Zeal. "H-Hey Zeal... do you have time for those lessons?"
<Kit> 6Zeal walks out of her tent and jerks. 1"I--"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma purrs happily, thinking he's getting fed
<Kit> <Zeal> Soma is hungry. But I suppose.
<@Sera> Kaelan> *keeps looking towards her* "We can feed him too..."
<Kit> 6Zeal takes him out and holds Soma out to Kaelan. 1'Very well."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma sniffs Kaelan and looks at Zeal as if asking if Kael is the meat
<@Sera> * Kaelan takes him and puts him in her own cleavage, stealing some of the meat from Seth.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma bites at the meat, mewing
<@Sera> * Kaelan cuts up bits, feeding the kitty.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma purrs more, licking the fingers of the meat
<@Sera> * Kaelan giggles and sits, feeding him happily. "We can use a tree as a target."
<Kit> <Zeal> It would be better to make a mannequin.
<@Sera> Kaelan> "How do we do that...?"
<Kit> <Zeal> I will.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> What's a man-ne-quin?
<@Sera> * Kaelan keeps feeding Soma. "It's a doll that is used for showing off clothes and things."
<Kit> <Zeal> ...Er, well, yes. But really just a doll resembling a human.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Are they cute?
<Kit> <Zeal> They... can be. Possibly.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Can I have one?! can I ahve a doll?!
<Kit> <Zeal> You want... a doll?
02* Rynar (nnj@68.50.132.157) Quit (Quit: 12( www.nnscript.com 12:: NoNameScript 4.22 12:: www.esnation.com 12))
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Yep!
<@Sera> Kaelan> "We can make her one... you make nice dolls Zeal."
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Please, Zeal? Please?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean hugs onto her, looking up at her hopefully.
<Kit> <Zeal> H-How would you know? I have never made a doll, only repaired ones I bought..
<@Sera> * Kaelan peers at her. "You've gotta ask?"
01<@DeathStar> <Zeal> You told us you like to make and buy things for your children. <Faile> ... you have kids? You're pretty young...
01<@DeathStar> *Zeal = Jean
<@Sera> Kaelan> "And you were tinkering with them back in Oas even before... you know..." *she puffs her cheeks and pets Soma*
<Kit> 6Zeal peers toward Kaelan, pausing, then glowering. She turns away, frowning. 1"I will... need some things." 6She starts to walk into the trees.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean follows. "What will you need?"
Session Time: Tue Aug 31 00:00:37 2010
<@Sera> * Kaelan gets up, following them.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael watches them go
<Kit> <Aschae> Feeling left out?
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Hm? No. It's nice to see my narvan doing something with the others besides just work
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma eats on the meat inside Kaelan's cleaveage, dropping pieces into it to eat later
<Kit> <Aschae> Oh? Seemed botheredo me.
<@Sera> * Kaelan catches up.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Well, I guess you're not all seeing just yet. 6* She winks
<Kit> <Aschae> Perhaps. Is she lacking memories?
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Yes; she doesn't remember much of her childhood. I'm trying to help her remember
<@Sera> Kaelan> "Zeal?"
<@Sera> Kaelan> "Zeal...?"
<Ametsune> <Zeal> Yes, Kael?
<@Sera> Kaelan> "Jean asked you what you needed."
<Ametsune> 6Zeal sighs.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean peers at Zeal and jerks, peering down like she's done bad
<@Sera> * Kaelan puts an arm around Jean comfortingly, trying out sending her reassurance.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks and smiles
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean skips along
<@Sera> * Kaelan walks with her.
