<DeathStar> Date: 2389.4.7
<DeathStar> 6* Valen and Jean find themselves dramatically trapped on the second floor of the inn, while Kaelan lumbers about the lobby area of the inn below, her head craning about oddly.
* Zeal starts stalking toward the smith, keeping an eye on Zombaelan to make sure she doesn't spot her
<Xanatos> 6* Valen shifts to the grab a sheet and glances to Jean. 1I'm going to keep her face covered. You run towards the doctor to find the others, okay?
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, then nods, lifting the bearoar up as best she can; she doesn't seem as strong as her otherself
<Xanatos> 6* Valen takes the sheet and then slides out the door, creeping towards the lobby to look for Kaelan.
<DeathStar> 6* Kaelan is indeed in the lobby, and seems to be lumbering toward the stairs. Jean follows behind Valen, waiting to see how she is suppose to run
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pulls the sheet up wide and shifts to move down the steps, doing his best to keep his face covered as he brings it forward to cover her head and tackle her out of the way.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok watches the entrance of the inn, waiting.
<DeathStar> 6* Kaelan peers as Valen moves down the steps, then shifts her foot out, tripping Valen down the stairs since he can't see it coming; he falls painfully down the rest of the way and Kaelan turns, peering at the back of his head, waiting to see his face
<Xanatos> 6* Valen lets out a sigh and pushes himself up, he wraps the sheet around his feet like a shirt ninja and turns to moves up after her, reaches out to try and grab her.
<DeathStar> 6* Kaelan watches him approach, then draws her sword, and swings it out in a horizontal swipe to try to remove his arms.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen shifts his back towards her to let his shield take the impact then shifts his elbow out for her arm to try and knock the sword from it.
<DeathStar> 6* Kaelan steps back, then lets a noise when a bearoar tackles her back and sends her falling down the stairs, Baby biting into her shoulder. The inn owner steps out to stare now, while Jean leaps over Kaelan, landing gracefully on all fours, and dashes out the door.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I see Jean!
<Xanatos> 6* Valen jumps to land down beside her and knocks her sword aside if he can and she still has it, then attempts to wrap the sheet around her face so she can't see, doing his best to subdue her so baby can take off too.
<DeathStar> 6* Kaelan's sword goes sliding, and her face gets wrapped up; the bearoar charges out after Jean, and Kaelan rises, somehow stronger than she looks, and rushes backwards to knock Valen into a wall of he doesn't let go
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok waves his hand frantically towards Jean
* Zeal hurries off screen
<Xanatos> 6* Valen arches a brow and attempts to shift around her so she smashes herself into wall, hopefully. Then makes a face and turns to run out after Jean and Bearoar.
<DeathStar> 6* Kaelan rips the sheet off, peering as Valen rushes out the door; the camera now pans outside. As Valen steps out, he'd see Jean scanning the area, picking up her bearoar. Spotting Rachael and Dahok down the street a bit, she hurries in that direction
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael sighs in relief as Jean comes their way, peering at Valen in worry.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen shifts quickly to see what he can use to block the retard strong Kaelan.
<DeathStar> 6* There doesn't appear to be anything that he could grab to block the door before she gets out.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pauses and then starts moving towards the opposite direction of Jean, moving a little slower to that Kaelan will spot him.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen also quickly pull the hood up from his cloak.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok raises a brow at that. 1"I think he's trying to draw her off.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean reaches the two, and Rachael draws her into the shadows of the building they're in.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts back a bit to try and hide himself
<DeathStar> 6* As Valen hurries in the direction of the outside gate, Kaelan steps out, peering and following after him in her retard manner.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Jean, do you know what's going on?
<DeathStar> <Jean> Kaelan is no longer Kaelan. 6* She says sadly.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen glances left and right for a side street before fully leaving the town, hoping he can avoid drawing the guards attention as well.
<Xanatos> NRP: out of the town*
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> What do you mean?
<DeathStar> 6* With the inn almost directly at the town gate, he'd have to run along between the city wall and the inn
<DeathStar> <Jean> Kaelan is no longer Kaelan. 6* She repeats, as if that is the only way to explain it. Rachael frowns
<Xanatos> 6* Valen turns himself to do just that, hoping he can either lose her, or at least keep her preoccupied.
<DeathStar> 6* The guards watch Valen and Kaelan oddly as she lumbers after him, the scene shifing to focus solely on Jean's people.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Is there anything we can do to help her?
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean not sure she can help her. If she sees us, 'they' will know our identities.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok rubs the back of his neck. 1"So what if we make sure they can't see us?
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pets Baby, peering at them both with a look of worry. Rachael speaks now. <Rachael> It's likely they might show up even if we cover her face. They might not yet because they're hoping Valen will lead her to the rest of us.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> If one of us moves in from behind while she chases Valen we could take her by surprise.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> It's risky. It's too risky. 6* She says, shaking her head. "We need to get Valen away from her and get out of the city."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Then we need to distract her enough so he can make a clean break.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> How?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok rubs the back of his head as he thinks about it. 1"I could throw some at her from behind.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ...
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You have any other ideas?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> We should meet with Zeal, then decide what to do. Come on. 6* She notes, shifting to take Jean's arm and lead her toward the blacksmith
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok frowns a bit and he moves after them
<DeathStar> 6* The camera pans back to Valen, who's run along the wall edge leads him to a L shape as the city wall begins to head in the other direction. Kaelan follows behind him; he could duck to the left sooner, and go between buildings that were behind the inn, or go all the way to the city wall and turn left
<Xanatos> 6* Valen opts to keep going for whatever reason, turning left once he gets to the wall.
<DeathStar> 6* Kaelan calls out. "Wait! P lease! Help me!"
<Xanatos> 6* Valen doesn't stop, putting more distance if he can.
<DeathStar> 6* As he hurries along, he'd see many places he can duck off to the left now, since Kaelan hasn't turned the corner yet.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen ducks left at about the third option.
<DeathStar> 6* Valen would find himself between some homes it seems. From here, he can run and branch off in various directions
<Xanatos> 6* Valen moves along a bit more cautiously now, keeping his ears out for any surprise attacks from Kaelan, he slowly pulls a bolt out of the side pouch, holding onto it just in case.
<DeathStar> 6* Meanwhile, Zeal arrives at the blacksmith, who seems to be working on her armor.
* Zeal winces at that, moving inside, and nonchalantly goes to look out the windows.
<DeathStar> 6* There are no windows, since the blacksmith was outdoors with just a flat over his head.
* Zeal looks over a bloody display then
<DeathStar> 6* The weapon and armor racks are under the flat for protection, with the blacksmith in the back where the fire goes, the roof designed to channel the smoke out through the roof.
* Zeal doesn't see others, it seems and walks over to observe the work, biting her lip.
<DeathStar> 6* The black smith doesn't seem to be near completion yet with the armor, taking his time with it.
<Zeal> <Zeal> Good sir?
<DeathStar> 6* The blacksmith keeps hammering at the armor. "Yes?"
<Zeal> I know this may be bothersome, but how far along might you be?
<DeathStar> <Blacksmith> I told ya, it won't be done until evening. 6* He notes, hammering. "You canna rush perfection."
<Zeal> Unfortunate truth be it may.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean, Dahok, and Rachael come up, with the bearoar eyes the firey warily.
<Zeal> Ah, lady Al'ryl..." 6She widens her eyes slightly, then moves over to them
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks at her sadly, peering down at the floor like she's done something bad.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Is he done?
<Zeal> Nay. Evening light at best." 6she rubs her face in thought, then hugs Jean. 1"I am glad you are well. Sir Lankin must be afoot, no?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> He's keeping Kaelan busy; we need to meet up with him and escape the city.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean leans into the hug. "Jean could try to heal Kaelan, but not sure if I can do it..."
<Zeal> <Zeal> It... is possible, then?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> If Kaelan sees us, the gods will know our true identities; it's also likely if we try to subdue her, they will arrive like they have before - from the sky and quickly.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Why not arrive now tho?
<Zeal> <Zeal> They already know our identities.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean hid faces from god. Not sure what we look like!
<DeathStar> <Jean> Sure what Kaelan looks like though...
<Zeal> ...Oh.
<DeathStar> 6* A noise can be heard approaching them; Rachael turns, stiffening, and going for her sword when she sees a hooded man walk up.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts his hand under his cloak as he turns that way
<Xanatos> 6* Valen holds up a hand. 1I lost her. No telling how long. We should go.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael relaxes and moves over to hug Valen.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok relaxes somewhat. 1"I was worried."
<DeathStar> 6* From a distance, they can hear Kaelan's voice, shouting. "I need help! Zeal! Please. Help me!"
<Xanatos> 6* Valen takes her in a hug, giving her a kiss on the cheek. 1She's strong, stronger than me. I'm not sure what they did to her, but it's definitely ungodly.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> We used magic before, what if we use that on her?
<Zeal> It will not compare to what we did before, I imagine.
* Zeal frowns. 1"It also had adverse effect on lady Al'ryl."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers up, frowning in worry at Kaelan's voice. Kaelan continues. <Kaelan> Please, Zeal - help me. I-I'm scared..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> It''d be better then what we could do now.
<Xanatos> <Valen> I don't know about you but I can't right now. As for her shouting out like that, it is a trick. SO we'd best keep moving.
* Zeal twitches slightly, then reaches for an arrow. 1"I cannot listen to this."
<DeathStar> 6* People can be seen on the streets, peering in a northern direction, where Kaelan's voice is coming from. They murmur about who the girl is and how terrible this Zeal person must be
<DeathStar> <Kaelan> I-I escaped...please...I'm not your enemy... please, Zeal...!
<Xanatos> <Valen> You will kill in cold blood, in front of all of these people?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok eyes Zeal now.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers over at Zeal's finished weapons, cooling on a table
<DeathStar> <Rachael> We should take the weapon and leave town. I don't want to risk our lives trying anything.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Is my fault... 6* She murmurs sadly. "I should go and fix Kaelan. Responsible for condition. Gods angry at Jean."
<Xanatos> <Valen> I agree. 6He says simply.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pauses and shakes his head no to Jean. 1No.
<Zeal> My reputation is nothing more than a murderer's anyway at this rate.
<Xanatos> <Valen> You'll attract the guards attention, I won't let you do that. 6He says to Zeal.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> We're better off leading her away from this place.
<DeathStar> <Blacksmith> Have you considered that if you try to leave town, ye be attracting attention?
<DeathStar> 6* He speaks up from his hammering across the room
<Zeal> It is as he says. I merely do not have a solution.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen arches a brow, glancing over to the Blacksmith. 1People leave often, why should this be any different?
<Zeal> The best answer I could come up with...
<DeathStar> <Blacksmith> If it be some trap like ye all keep muttering about, anyone leaving town at this moment would be suspicious.
* Zeal eyes her drawn bow. 1"She cannot feed our image if I take her eyes."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael jerks at Zeal. "You plan to try to shoot her in the eyes? That would kill her."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen frowns and glances off to the side with a sigh.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> So we're screwed either way.
* Zeal shakes her head. 1"One, in a path from the side-- I could manage it."
<DeathStar> <Blacksmith> Unless ye make it so a lot of people hafta leave town
<Zeal> Then Jean could do as she must.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> You think you could really remove both her eyes?
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael sounds worried and slightly ill at the idea.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> So you remove her eyes and Jean is able to fix this. Then what? Shes' stuck blind. We'd be better off temporarily blinding her
<Xanatos> 6* Valen arches a brow, glancing over to the blacksmith. 1Something like that could be dangerous, and it may hurt some innocents in the proccess. Not the most noble thing to do that's for sure.
<Zeal> I have done worse. This would merely be to blind her. You could do the same with a scratch from a blade, however, I can remain out of sight and range.
<DeathStar> 6* The blacksmith shrugs. "Didn't say what type of action ye had to do."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> And how could we temporarily blind her? If she's as strong as Vale says, she might just shrug it off.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Hmm. 6He Valen peers towards the north and rubs his chin slowly, perplexed.
<Zeal> I never said temporary-- it is better than death or.. undeath, is it not?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I'm referring to Dahok.
<Zeal> Oh. I am afraid I ... have paid little attention to him as of late.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Jean isn't sure she can even heal, which means it will take time.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> We've seen what Jean can heal. Throw a bunch of...embers in her eyes. Hot water...Dirt...
<Xanatos> <Valen> I doubt we can produce anything strong enough to subdue her, unfortunately.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks at the ground silently, as if she were listening to adults discuss things.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen paces as he tries to figure out some diversion to get people running out of the city.
* Zeal pauses.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Embers would not only burn her eyes out - blinding her - but injure her face.
<Zeal> The town watch. Of course.
<Xanatos> <Valen> The town watch?
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> What about some of Zeal's ink?
<Zeal> Look at how she is. No doubt she could be called delirious or drunk, no? She is attacking us. Call the town watch to restrain her.
<DeathStar> 6* Kaelan's voice keeps crying out for Zeal.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Now that you mention it, why hasn't the town watch done so already?
<Xanatos> <Valen> Likely instructed by the church to stay out of it.
<Zeal> I would assume she was already within and is merely an annoyance..." 6She blinks at Valen
<DeathStar> <Kaelan> Zeal, I'm dying..please help me...! I don't feel good...
<Zeal> Ordered by whom?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> That is why we were let inside without any guards. 6* She notes, remembering how easy it was to get in last night.
<DeathStar> 6* Kaelan's voice begins to get closer, as if some part of her remembers the Smithy.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen shrugs at Zeal and nods once to Rachael. 1It was a trap I assume. 6He pauses and glances up. 1We should go, find another place to hide for a bit.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok looks at the blacksmith. 1"Do you have anything that' hurts like a sin if it gets in your eyes?
<DeathStar> <Blacksmith> There are many things that hurt if they get in ye eyes. My stuff here would permenantly cause damage. 6* He notes, hammering
<Zeal> Look, this is pointless. It hardly matters if it is suspicious for us to leave if we were 'allowed' here to begin with.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Yes. 6* She picks up Zeal's weapon, nodding to Valen.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen steps out and glances toward the North, making sure Kaelan isn't in sight before going south.
* Zeal turns to the smith. 1"I am sorry to cut our business short, but it seems I have not the time to wait. Consider your fine work finished with me. I am sorry I could not remain to appreciate the armor's craftsmanship."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> What about you Zeal? 6He moves after Valen. 1"You know herbs, there's gotta be something that causes temporary blindness
<DeathStar> 6* He'd see Kaelan approaching on the street, peering their way.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael pauses, snagging Valen's arm, then leads him toward the back of the Smithy
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok jerks to stop and he blinks, then moves after Rachael and Valen
<Xanatos> 6* Valen turns to slide back, but glances to Rachael and nods.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean picks up the bearoar, who fights her as she passes the fire, scratching her arms.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts to help Jean with Bearoar
<Xanatos> 6* Valen glances for an exit in the back.
<DeathStar> 6* The back of the Smithy leads to the back area of the west side of the city. There's a West City Gate, that they can take then go to the north, if they opt to retreat. If they're going to deal with Kaelan, though, they need another plan
* Zeal bows to the smith. 1"I am grateful for your work and understanding." 6She then goes to follow the others.
<DeathStar> 6* The blacksmith nods
<Xanatos> <Valen> Vote now. Leave or stay. 6He tells them.
<DeathStar> 6* Kaelan hands Zeal her sword.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I think it'd be wrong that we saved Zeal from turning into a Demon and didn't try to save Kaelan.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Do you feel it wrong because you left her in the first place, Dahok?
<Zeal> Would you be happier if I turned then, sir Fyro?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> There is no certainity Jean can heal her, while before she was certain we could save Zeal. And if we're seen by her, we're all in danger, where before, the demon seeing us merely meant fighting him off, not 12 gods.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen eyes them both. 1I didn't ask for remarks, I asked for a vote. We can bicker like children later. 6He says in a stern tone.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Yeah I feel bad. How was I supposed to know she'd get herself all...6He points back the way she is
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I am not bickering. I am pointing out facts, Vale. Do not speak to me like I am some child still.
* Zeal eyes the reforged items, testing their weight and craft. She holds in in either hand, the knife downpalm, the hatched in her dominant left. 1"..."
<Zeal> The question is not a matter of guilt but responsibility.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen crosses his arms. 1Jean what do you want to do. 6He glances to her, instead of remaining in conflict with Rachael.
* Zeal sets the items in the sheathes on her belt that used to be for the swords.
<Zeal> Are we prepared to do what it takes, to save Kaelan, and if we can't, what need be.
<DeathStar> <Jean> ... I want to do what is best for everyone. I do not mind trying to heal Kaelan if it is only me in danger, but Je--I would feel bad if it meant you all getting hurt.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers outward, for once her demeanor toward Valen not friendly like normal, as if she's more upset than she looks expression wise.
<Zeal> Need not, lady Al'ryl. I will accompany on whatever you wish, on my own behalf. There need not be question of your providence. It is my will.
<Xanatos> <Valen> I understand. Perhaps if she pursues us out of town a more opportune moment will arise?
<Zeal> The rate at which she moves-- I would assume she will be expendable the moment we do not take bait.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok crosses his arms as he looks at them all
<Xanatos> <Valen> Then we leave her to die, like we already intended, it is the safest course, or we risk it all for her. Personally, I don't like taking risks. SO that is my vote.
* Zeal gets a cold expression. 1"At least, were I at the helm of this scheme, I would discard her the moment we leave as a less than useful pawn."
<Xanatos> NRP: already thought*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I do not mind trying if we could be certain she doesn't see us. But that would mean making certain.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Adn it would be best to do it in town; if we're in the open, we'd have no where to hide from the gods if they appeared.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Can we do that? The making her blind part?
<Xanatos> <Valen> Meaning we remove the eyes. Yet if that happens we have no idea if the gods will come immediately, also, having her with us, if we could heal her then we would have a big target that the gods could find at all times.
<Zeal> I have already said.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers at Valen. "And we can't leave until we have a horse, either; we'd need to use the gem to buy a horse. Did you get it from the hotel room before you left, or it there with our supplies still?"
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pauses and lets out a sigh. 1I...barely had time to react. 6He puts a hand to his face, looking annoyed with himself.
* Zeal brings her bow up, as if it's slowly being decided.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Then one person should run and get the rest of our stuff.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I will get the supplies from the hotel. 6* She turns and moves off.
<Zeal> Lady Hilund! Do not go unattended!
<DeathStar> 6* Jean watches her go, holding Baby and looking upset.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen watches her go and makes a face of annoyance. 1Perhaps playing the child card was a mistake. 6He glances to the three remaining. 1Come, let's see if we can come up with a plan.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Rachael not like being kid?
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I'd say so.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Not even in the slightest.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean lets out breath, then peers at the group; they can hear noises from the Smithy some ways back, indicating Kaelan is there.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen idley peers towards the smithy then glances around, looking for a quiet place they could ambush Kaelan.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> We chould get her when she gets out. 6He grabs a sleeve and tears it off then wraps it around his face, just below his eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* The housing area is fairly quiet, since most people are near the main streets where the markets are at, though it's likely elderly people could be around, or children playing
<Zeal> You two, stay together, lady Al'ryl, with me.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen glances to Zeal, arching a brow in curiousity.
* Zeal gestures to her, then begins making her way down to the housing area. 1"Lead her along the wall. That will give me a horizontal aim-- and obviously no one can be hurt by the arrow with the wall behind her.
<Chad`Winters>  6Dahok glances at Valen
<DeathStar> 6* Jean steps over to Zeal, setting the bearoar down and pointing at Valen. It roars in understanding, joining Valen as his ally.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen kneels to pat the bearoar's head and nods to Zeal. 1Very well. 6He pulls the hood tigher round his face and glances to the smithy, moving slightly closer to get an idea if Kaelan is going or coming out the back.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok moves to stand by Valen now
<DeathStar> 6* Kaelan can be seen talking to the blacksmith, in awkward tones, asking if anyone has gotten a sword, about jobs, that her daddy was a blacksmith
<DeathStar> 6* The blacksmith seems oddly annoyed, eyeing his smelting tool, and her face.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen tilts his head slightly at the blacksmith, getting an amused look. He 'accidentally' makes a noise then starts to back up towards the residental area.
<Xanatos> NRP: housing*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok starts backing up himself now.
<DeathStar> 6* Kaelan turns, and lumbers in their direction. "Zeal? Zeal, please..."
<Zeal> Lady Al'ryl, stay behind this wall where she cannot see you until you hear me release the string. Then we will all attempt to subdue her.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods, moving as ordered, looking down sadly, probably feeling bad about what's to happen.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen shifts his back to Kaelan now and begins to 'suspiciously' move toward the housing, making sure to keep by the wall.
<DeathStar> 6* Kaelan lumbers down toward the residental area like a Las Plagas, getting closer to the housing area. There's a rumble in the sky
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers up. 1"That can't be good."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen glances up slightly, making a face. 1I hope it's just a storm. 6He says with a sigh.
* Zeal stalks down the opposite end of the building and leans out slowly with her bow drawn, waiting until she has a good grasp of any wind, Kaelan's actual movements and their speed, and aims a hair's width in front of her eyes from the side, exhaling slowly.
<DeathStar> 6* KAelan lumbers along obliviously
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Do you really think we're that lucky?
<Xanatos> <Valen> Not likely. But we'll deal with that when the time comes.
* Zeal steadies her nerves so she's not startled by anymore thunder, then when she's done exhaling-- releases the bowstring
<DeathStar> 6* Kaelan is hit in the eyes and her body snaps to the side, falling over with blood. She doesn't let out a scream at all.
<DeathStar> 6* There's more rumbling now
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I think we pissed them off...
<Xanatos> 6* Valen slides to a stop, jerks to moves towards Kaelan and quickly rips some of his clothing to wrap around her eyes, to slow bleeding and all that stuff.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean shifts from behind the wall, moving quickly to where Valen is at with Kaelan. A light begins to descend from the heavens toward the spot Kaelan fell.
<Zeal> Lady Al'ryl, if you are capable, perhaps obscuring her might be a good option." 6She shoulders her bow and moves toward Valen and Dahok and Kaelan
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok looks upwards. "VAL WATCH OUT!"
* X1 has joined #taw
<Xanatos> 6* Valen jerks and steps back, quickly reaching out to stop Jean too.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean stops, looking up. The light seems to be heading for where Kaelan fell still, and will be there in 15 seconds.
<Zeal> They cannot see anymore! Move Kael!!
<Xanatos> 6* Valen reaches out to try and grab a leg and pull her aside, if he has the time.
<DeathStar> 6* Valen drags her aside, but in what way ? Between buildings? Along the city wall and toward JEan and the others? Into a house?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok begins to back up quickly.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen would I guess pull her towards some building, as least away from jean for sure.
* Zeal glances up as she's moving to see if any of the buildings are close enough to move to others either by roof or window
<DeathStar> 6* Kaelan begins to recover as she's pulled between buildings and reaches blindly for Valen's arm, shouting loudly.
<DeathStar> 6* There appears to be 5 foot gaps between buildings.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean moves back and down between buildings so she's out of sight as Harbinger lands.
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar bites KAelan's arm as she reaches for Valen, but she keeps making noises
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok moves to get between two buildings
<Xanatos> 6* Valen jerks to try and pry her mouth shut, nodding to the bearoar to get away.
* Zeal jerks and moves to duck behind the building wall, grimacing as she notices Harbringer's form
<DeathStar> 6* Harbinger straightens up, hearing the shouting. He turns and moves in the direction
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar rushes out, circles and leaps at the god, distracting him. Harbinger turns
<Xanatos> 6* Valen lets out a noise of annoyance at that and shifts to ball up the cloth he ripped and just shove it in her mouth to muffle her, dragging her away from Harbinger.
* Zeal curses slightly and leans out, rapidly loosing an arrow, but rather than waiting, just starts booking it after ducking back behind the wall
<DeathStar> 6* Jean makes her way to where Valen is at, and Kaelan trying to bite his hand before the cloth gets her. Once Jean catches up, she touches Kaelan's head, closing her eyes, her face flinchign in pain. Kaelan struggles uselessly
<DeathStar> 6* Harbinger eyes the arrow hit his shoulder, shattering, and peers in Zeal's direction. He grabs the bearoar with one hand, tossing it in Zeal's direction
<Xanatos> 6* Valen smacks her face in another annoyed expression, nursing his bite wound while Jean does her thing.
<DeathStar> 6* Harbinger leaps up onto the rooftop as the bearoar flies onward
* Zeal panics slightly, looking for a hand cart or anything she can push, toss or move to help Baby's fall
<DeathStar> 6* Sadly, Zeal would see little to help the bearoar, who crashes down inbetween some alleys with a yelp - then nothing.
<DeathStar> <Harbinger> Show yourselves.
<DeathStar> <Harbinger> I predicted you would be unable to resist helping your friend.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok rubs his face and as he hears the yelp.
* Zeal makes a face, then peers upward, making a trot for Baby's alley, trying to stay out of sight
<Xanatos> 6* Valen looks to Jean, probably wanting an update to know if this is going to work or not.
<DeathStar> 6* Kaelan struggles despite the slap, and Jean looks more ill as she continues, blood running down her nose. And veins showing. For a moment, Valen would see something unusual.
<DeathStar> 6* But then it's gone, and it's hard to say what he saw exactly.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok slowly peeks out from his hiding spot.
<DeathStar> 6* As Zeal reaches the alley, she'd see the bearoar laying there, looking like it broke it's leg and some other bones. It roars pathetically
<DeathStar> 6* Harbinger walks along the roofs, in the direction of Valen and Jean, though probably just lucky. Dahok would see him heading their way
* Zeal looks sad, but moves over and puts a hand on him. 1"Shh. He does not want you... just be still and quiet."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok let's out a loud whistle
<DeathStar> 6* Harbinger turns his head, spotting Dahok.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen blinks a few times, arching a brow, looking concerned for Jean's well being.
* Zeal moves to the edge of the alley after petting Baby a few times, then peers out to get tabs on their situation
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok quickly ducks back in, hoping his makeshift mask helps hide his identity and he moves down the alleyway quickly
<Xanatos> 6* Valen slowly reaches out for her ears.
<DeathStar> 6* Harbinger fires a blast toward the alley area, and it explodes, taking out a building and sending debris falling ontop of Dahok, trapping his leg. Zeal would spot it.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok let's out a howl of pain as he tries to dig his leg out
<DeathStar> 6* JEan then lets out a cry before he touches her, and coughs up blood, opening her eyes; Kaelan has stopped struggling and seems to be normal again, though in severe pain and blood loss from the eyes. She would remember nothing after telling the god her stupid answer.
<Zeal> Tch." 6She moves out slowly, then moves sideways an alley or two before she notches another arrow, aiming oddly-- she releases, apparently trying to use a high arc to land the arrow behind Harbringer slightly, then moves the opposite way toward Dahok
<DeathStar> 6* As the building goes up, commotion in the city breaks out, with people shouting in confused panic, and heading their way. Harbinger eyes the people, then leaps off the building
* X1 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<Kaelan> "Where... am I...?"
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pauses and reaches out to help Jean to her feet, looking concerned with her.
* Zeal keeps her eyes on Harbringer, wanting to know if he's sticking around, or evading the blame for blowing up a rooftop.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts out a half staff and he wedges it under what's trapping his leg and he tries to leverage it up.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean leans against Valen, too weak to stop him from touching her now. Touching her boobs, no doubt
<DeathStar> 6* Harbinger heads in their direction, the smoke of the building obscuring his view for now. Dahok moves it a bit, but will need soemone else to get free, due to his angle
* Zeal kneels down, offering to take the staff halve from Dahok and use it to get him free
<Xanatos> 6* Valen is a gentleman! He then kneels and tries to help Kaelan up. 1Keep your mouth shut. 6He hisses out towards her.
<DeathStar> 6* Zeal frees Dahok with his staff.
* Kaelan closes her mouth and nods, calming upon hearing Valen's voice.
<Zeal> Quickly, follow me." 6She gestures to Dahok, taking another route to circle back to Baby and evade Harbringer
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok pulls his leg out quickly and he slides out from under it. 1"Thanks." 6He pushes himself up and quickly tests his leg.
<DeathStar> 6* People begin to arrive in the area, and murmuring can be heard - the blame is on the Angel already, it seems, as if the church told them the angel would attack the city. Harbinger fires more blast near Zeal and Dahok, the smoke obscuring him from people's views. A building is hit near them, sending morter and clay down at them
<DeathStar> 6* It's sore, but not broken
<Xanatos> 6* Valen glances around, trying to move them into the crowd, doing his best to make them seem like victims.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok raises a hand to cover himself from smaller debris as he moves to follow after Zeal
<DeathStar> 6* Kaelan's head begins to pound more and she feels as if it's about to explode from pain.
* Zeal reaches out and grabs Dahok by one of his wrists, leaning forward to pull them both to evade a larger spit of debris, intent on getting to Baby while they can't be seen
* Kaelan holds her head and tries not to scream, letting out a whimper.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok stumbles a bit, not expecting getting yanked
<DeathStar> 6* Jean follows after them, her head down. One person glances in her direction, seeing her blonde hair, and pointing. "SHE HAS BLONDE HAIR! CHECK HER EYES!"
<DeathStar> 6* Zeal and Dahok reach the bearoar, the sounds of more buildings being demolished still heard neraby
* Kaelan moves along at Valen's urgings, but seems to be stumbling both from lack of sight and extreme pain.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok slips the half staff away and he shifts to pick up Bearoar
<DeathStar> 6* Valen can hear the buildings being destroyed near them
* Zeal releases Dahok and moves to Baby, then pauses. 1"I'm borrowing this." 6She notes, having not given it back yet, and tears some of the merchant clothing she's wearing to make a splint for Baby with it for temporary purpose
<DeathStar> 6* He also can see Rachael on the other side of the crowd with a horse, their supplies on it.
<Xanatos> <Valen> S-She cannot be the angel, do...don't you hear the destruction? That monster is attacking innocents!
<DeathStar> 6* The crowd jerks, and agree with Valen, rushing off in sadi direction. Harbinger, annoyed, vanishes into the smoke during this
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Of course
<Xanatos> 6* Valen lets out a breath and moves them towards Rachael.
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar lets them do as they will to him. Rachael stares at Valen. "What is happening?!"
<Kaelan> "Head hurts... face hurts... what's wrong with me..."
<DeathStar> 6* She seems to have gotten a good horse, though only one, probably having been outbargained with no experience.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts the bearoar over his shoulders. 1"We need to find the others now."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Harbinger. 6He says in a quiet tone, urging Jean up onto the horse. 1Kaelan, you're lucky to be alive, just keep quiet for now.
<Zeal> They are over there." 6She points. 1"...I made sure to keep aware of our locations."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok nods and he moves that way
<DeathStar> 6* Jean struggles to climb the horse, and Rachael has to help her; the girl looks more ill now, and her veins are still showing. She seems fatigued more than she's ever demonstrated before.
<Kaelan> "T-Trying... my head feels like it's going to explode..." *she feels about, clutching onto Valen's shirt*
<DeathStar> 6* Dahok and Zeal reach the horse. But it's clear only three can get on it at most. They'll need another horse.
<Zeal> ... I have an idea.
<Xanatos> <Valen> You lost your eyes, it's pain. 6He explains, then moves to help Rachael Rachael on the horse so she can control it.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Valen, did you train Blackie to come to your whistle?
* Zeal removes her fingers from her temple and trots back toward the smith
* X1 has joined #taw
<Xanatos> <Valen> BLackie is long gone.
* Kaelan gently puts a hand to her forehead, too afraid to move it down her face, she stands there looking helpless.
<DeathStar> 6* Kaelan would feel nothing but blood.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Then we could try to steal one during this chaos.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael gets situated on the horse, leaning Jean against her chest and taking the reins to hold around her.
* Zeal slows her pace and re-enters the smithy, calling out. 1"Sir?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> My god, what happened to Jean? She's bleeding and running a fever.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok moves to put Bearoar on the horse.
<DeathStar> 6* The blacksmith hammers at the armor. "Yes?"
<DeathStar> 6* The horse freaks out at the bearoar being put on it.
<Xanatos> <Valen> She saved Kaelan's life. SOmething...strange happened. 6* Valen eyes Dahok and shakes his head. 1No, he's not like Solomon. 6He then moves to make Kaelan the third person on the horse, helping her up. 1Keep hold of Rachael. 6He commands her.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok pauses and slowly pulls the bearoar off
<Zeal> Good heavens you are dedicated. Admirable, whereas I know my request is not..." 6She hangs her head slightly. 1"I came to ask if you might know how we me procure a horse. The angel has attacked, you may hear. My companions would like us to travel as quickly as possible."
* Kaelan nods and does her best to wrap her arms about Rachael.
<DeathStar> <Blacksmith> There is a horse stable near the north gate.
<Zeal> <Zeal> All I have to trade I did so with you, sir. Might they barter?
<DeathStar> <Blacksmith> I do not know. Ye can try, lass. But I suggest ye hurry while the city is in chaos.
<DeathStar> 6* He notes, with the smoke clearing, people will see the angel is no longer attacking
<DeathStar> <Rachael> The horse stable is this way. 6* She urges the horse along for Valen and Dahok
<Xanatos> 6* Valen moves with them.
* Zeal pauses, then smiles. 1"You are admirable and trustworthy, indeed. It is no wonder your work is fine." 6She bows her head, then nods, exiting the smithy and heading north, since she knows the others will be heading there, too.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok nods and he starts going that way, Baby over his shoulders
* Kaelan rests against Rachael's back, doing her best to keep quiet.
<DeathStar> 6* They all converge on the horse stable, which is mostly empty now, since people are trying to find the angel. The guy remaining looks distracted, peering in the direction of the attack earlier
* Zeal gestures, after relaying the smith's wisdom on the matter.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen tries to see how many horses are in the stabled.
<DeathStar> 6* There appears to be 6 horses; one looks rather retarded and weak, like Kaelan
<Zeal> I would suggest leaving us the horse as is. We will walk it out of town.
<DeathStar> 6* It eyes Baby, not looking afraid though, too stupid to be
* Zeal gestures. 1"Sir Lankin, you and lady Hilund, should try to procure one or two more."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok glances at Valen. 1"The one that's got the lazy eye. It doesn't look afraid
<Xanatos> 6* Valen glances to Zeal and then the guard, then moves to see if he can get the drop on the guard.
* Kaelan keeps moving her head back and forth in reaction to voices.
<DeathStar> 6* The guard doesn't seem to notice Valen approach, looking to be in his fifties. He keeps mumbling about the world going to hell because of demons
<Xanatos> 6* Valen makes a visible look of regret and then pulls up both of his hands to do a doublehanded fist to bring it down for the back of his head.
<DeathStar> 6* The old man lets out a groan and falls over in an awkward position
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias quickly moves for the stables now
<Xanatos> 6* Valen kneels to see if he has some cuffs or somethign that he can put on the man.
<DeathStar> 6* The man has no such items
<Xanatos> 6* Valen hmms, then moves to drag the man into the stable. 1Get the dumb one and get the bearoar ready to transport.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok motions to Zeal since he doesn't want to scare the other horses off
<DeathStar> <Rachael> It looks weak, Valen; I don't think it can support but one other person besides the bearoar. Or two girls and the bearoar.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> We can grab two.
<Xanatos> <Valen> I know. Dahok will carry it. I will grab another horse if I can. 6He reaches out a hand to another, trying to show he means no harm.
<Zeal> Rachael, if you procure another, we will have three and better distribute supplies as well.
<DeathStar> 6* The horse eyes Valen
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael, already on a horse, glances at Zeal, since Dahok motioned to her to do so already
<Zeal> I can lead this one by the reins on foot. I will no doubt run it off if I attempt to ride." 6She sighs.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I'll ride it if I have to.
<Zeal> I have no experience with ... horses.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen glances around for some feed. 1Dahok, get baby and get the dumb horse. I will get a horse for me and Zeal. 6He says slowly.
<DeathStar> 6* The commotion ends n the other side of town by now
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok sighs and moves for the dumb horse
<DeathStar> 6* People begin to head back their way, searching for where the angel went.
* Kaelan 'looks' at people like watching a tennis match, following voices. She tilts her head. "It's getting quiet outside..."
<DeathStar> 6* The dumb horse stands there, while other horses edge away from Dahok and the bearoar.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok reaches out to pat the dumb horse. 1"Hey buddy. You can trust me."
<DeathStar> 6* Valen would see feed in a shack.
<DeathStar> 6* The dumb horse blushes.
* Zeal nods to Valen and runs to get the feed while Valen works on the horse
<Xanatos> <Valen> Quickly. 6He says with a slight hiss, reaches out to take some feed and put in a bag, then reaches it towards the horse to try and entice it towards him.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts the bearoar onto his back and he moves to untie him/her. 1"Care if I get on?"
<DeathStar> 6* The dumb horse would like Dahok on her.
<DeathStar> 6* Valen gets the horse to follow him
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok smiles and he climbs up and grabs it's reins and then leads her out.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen takes the reins and moves to take the horse out of the stable, then slips up on it, holding out a hand for Zeal.
* Zeal procures some more feed from the shack, then returns, blinking at Valen having succeeded already and pauses, then takes his hand, trying to climb up
<Xanatos> 6* Valen nods to them all then urges the horse onward, to leave the city.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael shifts to lead her horse onward and for the gate; because they took so long, the city guard is on alert, and sees them coming, pointing. On instinct, and in panic, Rachael lifts her hand and a gust of wind knocks them city guards over and sends them tumbling
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok rides the horse after them.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen arches a brow at that but doesn't say anything, continuing one to go quicker.
<Kaelan> "What's happening...?"
* Zeal clutches to Valen like she's going to die
<DeathStar> 6* They ride out of the city and by the time the guards get back back up, they only see their back ends. Harbinger doesn't seem to show back up
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael, however, keeps her horse going as fast as she can, not slowing down in case anything happens. The dumb horse runs in a zigzag pattern that would make Dahok dizzy.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen glances around trying to get a bearing of what direction they are heading, not slowing either.
<DeathStar> 6* Kaelan's pain grows worse, to the point where she can't tlak anymore because of the agony. You know. LIKE REAL HEAD PAINS DO
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok rocks side to side from it as he tries to keep it straight.
* Kaelan cringes, holding onto Racheal to keep from falling, unable to articulate her pain properly now.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael keeps them at a pace of five hours, during which Kaelan blacks out several times from the pain; the lands seem barren with no real fields of any sort, and after evening comes about, they'd finally reach what is probably the last "field" in Navarro. Despite the cool tempt, blue flowers grow here. Rachael finally slows the horse down when she sees a river.
* Kaelan is slumped against Racheal, just barely holding on now.
<DeathStar> 6* By now, the pain in Kaelan's head is so severe, movement hurts it ten fold. Of course, a horse is always moving. Rachael stops her horse by the river and helps lower Jean down, peering at the afternoon sun
* Zeal looks frazzled, but if they slow, finally peers about.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok tries to slow down his horse
<Xanatos> 6* Valen slowly brings his horse to a crawl, then brings the horse to the river.
<DeathStar> 6* The dumb horse stops at the river, and throws Dahok comically into it
* Zeal drops down, then curiously moves over and studies the flower.
<Xanatos> <Valen> You can get down and stretch your legs Zeal, and maybe dig your nails from my stomach. 6He pauses at her already dropping down and smirks.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok disappears under the water
* Kaelan lets out a weak whimper, starting to slip.
<DeathStar> 6* The flower seems like if she gathers 10, could form one healing saluve
* Zeal sniffs, trying to ignore Valen's comment.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael kneels by the water with Jean, splashing water along her face and washing it gently, then making the unconscious girl drink it; she doesn't even look up as Kaelan falls off the horse and to the ground
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Come on, Jean.. 6* Seh says worriedly, touching her forehead and frowning at the fever.
<Zeal> These flowers... ha." 6She starts moving about, collecting them
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok breaks surface and he swims to shore.
* Kaelan lays still, if she's concious, she's unwilling to move.
<DeathStar> 6* There appears to be 40 flowers in the field, if she wishes to destroy the pretty field entirely, she'd have 4 healing salueves.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen slips off and pets the horse silently, an odd look on his face.
* Zeal only picks them sparsely, and only half, so that when she's finished it looks like they're still in a natural scattered pattern.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok trudge sout of the water and shakes himself dry.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean opens her eyes a bit as the water wakes her some. Rachael lets out a breath, then motions Dahok to continue treating her. "I'll get some food cooking." 6* She says, moving to get their supplies. "Valen, we need a fire."
* Zeal returns with an armful of blue flowers, seemingly smiling. 1"Snow fairies."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok nods and he moves over to her quickly, kneeling to take her.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen blinks from his space out and gives a slight nod, turning to move off and find firewood.
* Kaelan lets out a small whimper of pain again as she tries to move.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael goes over what supplies they didn't lose when Solomon died
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok looks Jean over. 1"How do you feel?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean glances at Dahok. "Everyone...safe?" 6* She asks, peering about and seeing the bearoar on the horse still
<Zeal> Worse for wear, but ...yes, lady Al'ryl. We are all here.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> We're all here, yeah. 6He shifts to scoop up some water in his hand
<DeathStar> <Jean> Kaelan...normal again?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok nods
<Kaelan> "Help..."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael sets down what she'll cook, rubbing her face and leaning on the horse, having not slept hardly the night before watching over those that were injured.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean smiles, opening her mouth a bit for the water.
<Zeal> Just sit there for a moment, Kael. There is nowhere to help you to, yet.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts his hand over to her mouth to drink from
* Zeal sets her things down, then begins to unravel and assemble the tent she purchased.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael moves to get her own tent set up while she has the energy to do so.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean drinks it, smiling happily and closing her eyes again to rest.
* Zeal puts a hand on Dahok when she finishes, as if motioning for him to set up his as well, kneeling to take over watching Jean
* Kaelan tries to say something but just lets out another painful sound.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen comes back and kneels to get the power going.
<Xanatos> NPR: LOL fire
<Zeal> Sir Lankin.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Yes Zeal?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok eyes her a moment and he shifts to switch places with Zeal since she has a crush on Jean
* Zeal takes out the knife and hatchet, holding them out to Valen.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen peers up. 1Oh I already broke them up, but I'll keep that in mind for the future. 6He bows his head at that.
<Zeal> Run the back of the knife along it. Should make it much easier to ignite.
<Zeal> It was one of the reasons I opted for these forms.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Alright. 6He takes them and does as she says, to ignite.
* Kaelan lays back and rests, or tries to.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok gets up and moves to grab his tent. He then starts to set it up
<DeathStar> 6* The fire gets going, and Rachael moves over to get a pot of soup going, adding supplies and a bit of meat to it. She looks tired, with circles under he eyes
<Zeal> I am remembering it. Meadow-life. Little by little... but it does not mean I like horses." 6She hrmphs, crossing her arms.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen stokes the fire a bit and then returns the weapons. 1They are noble creatures, you should take the time to get to know them, it will only benefit you.
<Zeal> Riding another creature... it is just unnatural.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> What will we call these horses? 6* She asks softly.
<Zeal> I do not even necessarily like carriages. Moving like that... it makes me ill.
<Xanatos> <Valen> You treat them well and they return the kindness. 6He glances at the horses then peers to the ground, nod saying anything about a name for once.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok finishes setting his tent up. 1"Then you must hate riding on the seas
* Kaelan curls up, clutching her head.
<Zeal> I felt a bit queasy, yes. Not as much, strangely, but enough to feel unrest.
<Xanatos> <Valen> I want to talk to you all, so gather around and listen to me.
* Kaelan doesn't move from where she is.
* Zeal pauses, since they were already talking
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers up from stirring the soup.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok glances over at him and he rests his hands behind his head as he moves over
<Xanatos> <Valen> There has been quite the animosity amongst us all. ANd quite frankly if we keep it up we'll die. So this is what we'll do, we'll forgive each other of our actions, no matter how idiotic they may have been. And move forward. CLean slate.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael quietly peers at Dahok, then at the soup
<Xanatos> <Valen> Are we all in agreement, or will we furthur risk our lives with our stubborness? Hm? 6He peers to each of them.
* Kaelan lets out a small noise.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I am willing to start fresh. ... I'd like for us all to be friends.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> If you're ok with that.
<Zeal> At this point, there is no one else in this world for us to trust or rely upon.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen peers towards Kaelan, not sure what to make of that, then nods to Rachael before glancing to Dahok and Zeal. 1Those aren't proper answers, we won't be friendly because 'there is no one else' we'll be friendly because we want too.
<Xanatos> <Valen> BUT if you're so stubborn to say a simple yes, then perhaps I've wasted my breath.
* Kaelan is curled up and clearly in pain, but she did her best to acknowledge.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen eyes the silence and nods once, then gets to his feet and moves to walk off and feed the horses.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Stubborn? 6He raises a brow. 1"I don't have any problems so yeah I'm with you on that."
<Zeal> That kind of response hardly sounds to me of the same calibur you wish to act upon." 6She blinks at Valen.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael just goes back to stirring the soup.
<Xanatos> <Valen> You can always rely on me to be there to try and keep you all alive. But I'm not going force anyone to be my friend. I know I'm different, distant even, but I put my allies above all things. Least you will have comfort in knowing that. 6He glances to Dahok's acknowledgment, gives a nod, then moves on to the horses.
<Kaelan> "Friends..." *she says after some effort, or at least, something that sounds vaguely like it*
<Zeal> I have thus far. Even when you say things abrasive to my being, your actions resound strongly with the heart, sir Lankin.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael speaks. "But can you be friends with Dahok, and vice versa?" 6* She asks the two.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok just gives his charming smile. 1"I don't hold grudges, so yeah." 6He moves to the rivers edge and plops down.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pauses and then kneels to help slide Kaelan closer to the fire for warmth, being as gentle as possible.
<Zeal> I... had my opportunity to throw that aside." 6She says softly, probably referring to him being pinned under rubble. 1"I already made my choice to move beyond the past."
* Kaelan makes a small attempt at a thanks. It at least sounds grateful.
* Zeal sniffs. 1"Surely we could all stand some growth, however."
<Xanatos> <Valen> I would vote for a group hug, but it took me years to allow Rachael to do such a thing. 6He says with a straight face, who knows if it's true, besides Rachael of course.
<Kaelan> "Moving... hurts..."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael finishes with the soup. "Everyone can help themselves. I need sleep..." 6* She notes, too tired to even eat, and gets into the tent to lay down
<Xanatos> <Valen> Just try to rest Kaelan, we'll get someone to feed you after they've finished. 6He watches Rachael move off, then moves to get some food.
<DeathStar> -tIME JUMp-
<DeathStar> 2389.4.8
<DeathStar> Location: Field of Flowers
<DeathStar> 6* Morning comes; Kaelan's pain remains the same, and she's gotten hardly any sleep.
* Kaelan doesn't move much, still whimpering occasionally.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael bathes in the river, naked, since it's still early; Jean remains against the bearoar, having slept the entire night
<Xanatos> 6* Valen sleeps in their tent, probably having snuck in sometime after making sure everyone else was okay.
* Zeal looks every direction of course, but then tries to join Rachael while no one else seems to be about
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael washes her hair, strangely keeping her back to Zeal for that, but once done, turns back to face her, washing her chest and arms. "Do you think those flowers will help Kaelan's headache?"
* Kaelan seems to be in Zeal's tent. For Dahok is not a good nurse.
<Zeal> Honestly I am unsure. I know they will help stave an infection and assist the healing.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Jean's fever is still there, as well.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok snores in his tent.
<DeathStar> 6* She notes in concern, washing her breasts, then gets up and gets dressed again
<Zeal> The best answer to that is cold cloth from this river, actually.
<Zeal> Whenever it gets warm, dip it again.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen gets up after a little bit and steps out of his tent, he spares a glance towards the water and at seeing Zeal he just moves to make sure the fire is ready for breakfast.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael nods, then goes to get food going. "I talked to some locales in the city before everything got bad; they said there are some unlisted villages in the plains in Nuege before the ground gets too icy.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> We might can find a place to rest in one of them.
<Zeal> Plains, huh?" 6She seems to smile a little, looking off nostalgic.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael glances at Valen as she says this, then begins to make a morning broth from what is left of the soup
<DeathStar> <Rachael> It will be a few days journey; do you think Jean and Kaelan can handle it?
<Xanatos> <Valen> I think we might have to risk it. It's not like we can go back.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok climbs out of his tent, his shirt off. He rubs his face tiredly
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael nods once.
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 2389.4.9
<DeathStar> 6* After traveling all day yesterday, and camping at night where Kaelan's head pains fade, and Jean remaining mostly asleep for the rest, and then traveling most of the next day, by high noon, they come across a village. The lands are made of thin grass and it's clear growing things isn't likely. The air is cold, but not bitingly
<DeathStar> 6* The village seems to be made of huts made from what sparse trees are in the area, and they can see a well and a giant fire; there's no real city walls, except for a 2 foot dirt and clay one around the city. Dead tiger monsters hang about as food sources
<DeathStar> 6* The people are dressed in furs it seems here
<Xanatos> 6* Valen slows the horses, glancing around as they get closer.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers at the village as they get closer.
<DeathStar> 6* The village isn't large and sees to have, at most, 50 people or so. As they approach, the children peer up and look at them in awe, while the older villages eye them suspiciously as "Navarro people".
* Zeal doesn't look Navarro-..an!
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers around, awake now fo the most part, her fever breaking an hour or so ago, and waves at the children happily.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen clears his throat. 1Greetings. 6He calls out.
<DeathStar> 6* The oldest looking man approaches them, stopping. "What is your business here, travelers?"
* Kaelan holds onto whoever she's riding with, tilting her head about to hear voices.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok pats his horse's head as he waits
<Xanatos> <Valen> We've got injured and we're looking for a place to nurse our wounds so we can be on our way.
<DeathStar> 6* The elder eyes them over, then nods. "We have an empty hut - the owner died in a monster attack a few months back. It should be large enough to accomodate most of you."
<Zeal> We would be eternally grateful.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Thank you. 6* She says with a smile. The elder continues. "Speak with our medicine man and he will treat your wounds if they are treatable."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Thank you very much. While we're here I will assist in whatever way I can to repay this kindness.
* Kaelan just nods again and again.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I offer my hand in service too.
<DeathStar> 6* The elder nods. "We have been having monster attacks lately. Perhaps you can assist our people tonight when they defend the city."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael pauses, recalling some of the monster jobs, and wondering if some of them are related to this place
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> It's the least we could do.
* Kaelan has an ashamed look on her face, tilting her head down.
<DeathStar> 6* The elder nods. "Evening meal will be in a few hours. Settle down and rest." 6* As far as the village goes, it isn't much to see or do but interact with each other it seems.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Again, thank you. 6He leads the horses to a troft area, if there is one and begins to get some of their things settled in.
<DeathStar> 6* The elder speaks to a child, who leads them to the hut they can rest in. Rachael leads them over, dismounts the horse, and helps Jean and Kaelan down. Jean immediately kneels to offer the child a flower she got from the field of flowers
<DeathStar> 6* Other kids peer at Dahok's bearoar in awe, asking how he got it
<Zeal> I can assist with the watch-- I am also an able herbalist, so I might help your healer.
* Kaelan accepts Rachael's help thankfully, but still seems ashamed.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok leads his horse and then gets down, pulling the bearoar down afterwards. He tells them a wonderful tale, not the one where they killed it's mother.
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar bites his rear as he takes the credit for things
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok hops a bit and he hangs his head. He corrects his tale about how Jean found him.
* Zeal moves over to check Baby's 'splint' and the progress it may have made in starting to heal
<DeathStar> 6* The kid runs off with the flowers, while Dahok seems to get his own gang - until they hear about Jean, then run off to be her gnag
<Xanatos> 6* Valen peers towards the group with a slight amusing look, hefting supplies to move into the hut.
<DeathStar> 6* It seems it still has a ways to go. The bearoar waits to be carried somewhere warm.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok rubs hi sore ass.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael laughs at Dahok.
<Chad`Winters> 6He then shifts and picks up the bearoar, tossing him over his shoulder. 1"Come on you big baby."
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar roars.
* Kaelan sits quietly and listens, smiling a bit at what she hears, she doesn't look towards any voice in particular.
<Zeal> Hm. Ironic given his current name.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Oh it's not that bad.
<Zeal> Baby the Rumpbiter.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> It seems you have become his personal carriage, Dahok
<Xanatos> 6* Valen gets everything settled in and then steps out and takes Kaelan's hand, glancing around to lead her towards the medicine man, asking for guidance from one of the locals.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Lazy bum if you ask me. 6He eyes up Baby.
* Kaelan walks along with Valen's lead, looking slightly embarrased that she needs to be helped so much.
<Zeal> I think he is... rather cute. Now that I am getting accustomed.
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar seems pleased at the cute comment.

<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok plops Baby down in the hut.
<Kit> 6Zeal is gone for a while to talk about joining the village's nightwatch for the evening, and help with the medicine man for now
<DeathStar> 6* The medicine man seems to have given Kaelan stuff for the pain, but her eyes are gone, unfortunately.
<DeathStar> 6* Valen seems to have wandered off, leaving her alone to contemplate her eternal darkness
<Seraphna> * Kaelan sits quietly, contemplating eternal darkness.

Session Ident: #TAW-Medieval
<Kit> 6Zeal returns from mingling with the locals and returns to the hut, checking on Jean and sits to play with Baby.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok sits in the hut, several parchments strewn about with various things drawn on them
<Seraphna> * Kaelan fixes the bandage about her eyes and wonders how to get about getting back to the others with Valen gone.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan sadly doesn't know exactly where she is with Zeal and Dahok being so quiet.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Zeal?"
<Kogitsune> <Zeal> Yes, Kael?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Is everyone well?" *she sits facing forward*
<Kogitsune> <Zeal> As well as could be expected in the given circumstance.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan nods. "I don't... know what happened... but thank you."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "The last thing I remember seeing was a god... I don't know which then... nothing. You must have all risked a lot to save me."
<Kogitsune> <Zeal> Do nae thank me too much, as it was my arrow that took thy eyes asunder.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan tilts her head in Zeal's direction. "I... assume it was for good reason. You wouldn't hurt me so without one."
<Kogitsune> <Zeal> That which I believed was false-- perhaps there remain no good reasons; only deeds.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "What do you mean?"
<Kogitsune> <Zeal> It might have been foolish to believe in virtues, if these were the beings that stood behind them. That being the case, were left only with our actions and their consequences.
<Kogitsune> <Zeal> Instead of thanking me for a purpose you can nae understand, maybe you should merely be upset over simple truth.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok rubs the back of his head, then peers over at Zeal and Kaelan. 1"How're you feeling, Kaelan?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "The pain is mostly gone for now... I'm trying to get used to it."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> The local medicine man must be good then.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Seems to be, however... the eyes won't get better..." *she takes in a breath*
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Sorry about that.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "There is nothing to be sorry for... I'm the one who's sorry."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts some papers around. 1"It's just good that you're alive atleast."
<Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles. "I'm glad for that. I worry more that I am going to be a burden to you all now."
<Kogitsune> <Zeal> No more than our three horses.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan giggles weakly. "I'll have to find some use... maybe with some practice I can do things close to normal again."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok raises a brow at the giggle, and has a skepticle look at her being anything close to normal.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan luckily for her, can't see the look.
<DeathStar> 6* Baby paws at them for food
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Of course. 6He looks at Baby then shifts to stand up and moves to one of their food pouches and pulls some out, holding it out to Baby
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar opens it's mouth for it
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Next you'll ask me to chew it up first. 6He smirks and tosses the food into his mouth
* Seraphna sits back, "Giving Baby bad ideas?"
<DeathStar> 6* It eats; pleased
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Of course not. He's just wants to be pampered right now
<DeathStar> 6* Jean smiles from her corner at Dahok and Zeal being nice to her bearoar, though she doesn't say much since her player would be too slow to hold a good convo with
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok leans over to pat Baby's head, ruffling his fur a bit
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I'm glad everyone's alright..." *she reaches down and toys with her locket, feeling over it as if trying to capture it's looks by touch*
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I think Rachael's still a bit exhausted from our travels here but a good nights rest here should help
<DeathStar> 6* Jean moves over and quietly kneels behind Kaelan, touchign her hair without alerting her she's there, and focuses
<Seraphna> * Kaelan seems too absorbed in the locket to notice right away.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok looks over at Jean and Kaelan, well Jean specifically
<DeathStar> 6* Jean closes her eyes and seems to be strained; slowly, Kaelan's hair is growing, and at the slow rate and the amount of focus from Jean, it seems to indicate she's either still weak, or slowly burning out her healing powers.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> ...Jean?
<Seraphna> * Kaelan slowly lets go of the locket and tilts her head back up.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean still focuses, and gets Kaelan's hair to shoulder length, though it also causes it to grow down in her face and awkwardly about; she'll need a proper haircut, since she looks funky now, and Jean lets go, rubbing her nose, then smiles.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Make Kaelan happy have longer hair; too tired to grow out more right now... 6* She moves and lays down
<Seraphna> * Kaelan slowly feels her hair, her cheeks redden. "Jean... th-thank you..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Try not to strain yourself, Jean. You need all the rest you can get right now
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods, and cuddles bearoar and shuts her eyes, dozing again for a few minutes
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "It... it was very nice of you... thank you very much Jean." *she smiles softly*
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well I'm going to go look the village over, see what this place is all about.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Tell me about it when you're done?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Alright. 6He moves over to shift his parchments together with his other stuff and he grabs his cloak, tossing it over himself. 1"Don't worry Baby. I'll bring you a snack."
<Seraphna> * Kaelan sighs and sits back, toying with her hair gently until she dozes off.
* Chad`Winters is now known as Chad-Sleep
* Seraphna is now known as Sera|HasClass
* Chad-Sleep has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
* Sera|HasClass is now known as Seraphna
<DeathStar> (*_*)
<Kit> 6Zeal edges over Kaelan with her new knife, squinting.
<Kit> 6Zeal frowns in annoyance and leans in, hoisting the blade.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Who's there...?"
<Kit> <Zeal> Just I, Kael." 6She tosses aside a chunk of hair.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan shifts a little. "What are you doing?"
<Kit> <Zeal> Cutting the hair out of your eyes. Though I suppose that may be aesthetically frivolous.
* Chad-Sleep has joined #TAW-Medieval
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Well... it can't hurt to look a little less silly, even with the bandage."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers over from the bed. "Zeal is making Kaelan look pretty."
<DeathStar> 6* She peers at her own long hair, then back at the other two
<Kit> <Zeal> Well, we shall leave such opinions to the masses.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles softly. "My second haircut in years."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Can try to grow longer again later. 6* She promises, despite the ill effects on herself
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Only if it doesn't cause you any ill."
<Kit> <Zeal> Please wait until you are at better odds, lady Al'ryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pouts
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I appreciate the thought though, Jean." *she smiles happily*
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods, petting the bearoar, who paws at Zeal for food.
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar roars
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Baby's hungry again?"

Session Start: Fri Feb 12 23:24:39 2010
<Kogitsune> 6Zeal eyes Baby disapprovingly.
<Kogitsune> <Zeal> Lady Al'ryl, Kael cannae see you nod-- and Baby you need to control your appetite-- and lower your voice.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean lowers her head, shamefully, while Baby roars louder
<Kaelan> <Kaelan> "It's... alright, I imagine it'll get some taking used to for all of us, my condition."

Session Ident: #TAW-Medieval
* Now talking in #TAW-Medieval
* Topic is 'The main channel for The Alien Wars 5's Medieval characters. Side-sessions will be held in here about the characters'
* Set by DeathStar on Tue Jan 26 01:52:09
* ChanServ sets mode: +o DeathStar
* KitBarkatMoon is now known as Kit
<DeathStar> (*_*)
* Kaelan sighs gently and slowly, every movement deliberate, locates her dagger and pulls it out, gently feeling over the fine etchings on it's sheath.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Kaelan sad?
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "I'll... get over it eventually... I guess. I'm never going to see again, it's a heavy thing to weigh on my mind for now. Don't you be sad too though." *she smiles*
<DeathStar> <Jean> I wish I could heal your eyes... 6* She says sadly. "Please forgive Jean--me."
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "There's nothing to forgive Jean. Why should I be mad at something such as that? It is very nice to know that you would if you could though."
<Kit> <Zeal> She should only be angry with me. I took them from her.
* Xan|Gone is now known as Xanatos
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "And I'm not. You did what was best."
<DeathStar> <Jean> But it is my fault the gods hurt her, isn't it?
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "No... I only have myself to blame."
<Kit> <Zeal> We all had the option to live safely in our lies.
<DeathStar> <Jean> .... But..
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Exactly. I chose to come on this journey of my own accord, I can scarcely blame you for the consequences Jean. I'm just happy you're safe."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Why do you all risk so much for me?
<Kaelan> * Kaelan sits back, she lets out a sigh. "My reasons might be selfish."
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "But to put it in a simple way... I don't believe you are any of the things the prophecies say."
<DeathStar> <Jean> ... Thank you
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "If... I feel like if I can see you safely through to whatever it is you're going to do, I can know everything that's happened so far has been worth it. I believe in that."
<Kit> <Zeal> I merely feel no ill intent. Your eyes do not bely your nature and I intend to continue protecting you for as long as that may be. Lady Al'ryl, you mean no harm to the people of this world?
<DeathStar> <Jean> No. Jean like people! Especially tiny people.
<Kit> <Zeal> Tiny... people..?
<Kaelan> * Kaelan giggles a little. "Have fun with the lovable kids of the village then?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods. "They're cute!"
<Kit> <Zeal> I-- children... if we ever make it to Sinai soil, I will take you to the orphanages.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Where Zeal took kids out to play! 6* She nods, remembering
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "You did Zeal?"
<Kit> <Zeal> I have mentioned this before." 6She sniffs indignantly.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "I... yeah..." *she lowers her head*
<DeathStar> <Jean> Zeal loves chldren1
<Kaelan> * Kaelan smiles softly. "After I met Zeal the first time... I thought if I could be strong like her I might just..."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen stands outside, brushing the horse that he and Zeal rode.
<Kit> <Zeal> Me? I am not strong.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "If it wasn't for you, Dad and I might not have survived that attack, and you brought us all the way to safety... of course you're strong."
<Kit> <Zeal> Using your head, and using strength... Why do you think I am an archer?
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "I didn't mean physically."
<DeathStar> <JEan> Zeal very strong of heart.
<Kit> <Zeal> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peeks out the window at Valen
<Xanatos> 6* Valen seems to be talking to he horse in low tones while he brushes it, seemingly less tense than he has been the past few days.
<DeathStar> <Jean> What is Val--- are you saying to horse?
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pauses, glancing to Jean slightly then upwards. 1I...was simply telling her about my home.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Talking to a horse...?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> What is Valen's home like?
<Xanatos> <Valen> It is...different. Trees everywhere, as far as the eye can see. But that means there are so many places to explore, branches to swing on.
<DeathStar> 6* Jeans rests her head on the window edge. "Do you miss it?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> It's home. It's hard not to miss it.
* Kaelan gently feels over the dagger again. "It sounds nice..."
<DeathStar> <Jean> When will you go back?
<Xanatos> <Valen> I'm not sure. Maybe never, maybe soon. We can never know what the future holds.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan puts the dagger away and slowly makes her way over towards Jean's voice.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers at Kaelan, putting an arm around her and helps her onto the bed
<Kaelan> * Kaelan blushes and smiles at the help, settling down next to her.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean describes the horse and Valen's method of petting in extreme detail for her, including expressions Valen makes while horse whispering
<Kaelan> * Kaelan starts to giggle at the point she gets to expressions. Enjoying listening to Jean.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pats the horse a few times, then steps over to start brushing the retarded one, Zaelan.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean describes the retarded horse and how it's blushing as Valen is brushing it. "Do you like animals, too, Valen?" 6* She asks, peering as Baby climbs onto Kaelan's lap to peer out at the horses, roaring for food
<Kaelan> * Kaelan gently pets over Baby, smiling a little more.
<Xanatos> <Valen> I do. People usually blow them off and stupid and understanding, but I think it should be clear by now that our horses aren't pets, they're allies.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Agreed! Baby is a good ally. 6* She pets the bearoar, who keeps roaring. Rachael walks over to the hut with some fruits and meats the villagers gave before dinner; she peers at the bearoar and offers it a piece of meat, which it eats - satisfied, and gives Zeal a look saying "I won"
<Kaelan> * Kaelan just keeps petting Baby, she tilts her head at the sounds of eating.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen glances towards Rachael feeding baby, then nods to Jean. 1Baby is indeed. He has saved my life a few times over now.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean smiles, petting the bearoar; Rachael gives it a smile. <Rachael> And I don't think he'll let you forget it, either. 6* She notes playfully at the bearoar acting it's name since the injury
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Brave Little Baby."
<Kit> <Zeal> There was no doubt I could not leave him.
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar looks pleased
<DeathStar> <Jean> Zeal loves Baby. 6* She nods, as if knownig deep down Zeal loves animals.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "It sorta is like a big teddybear, no wonder Zeal does." *she gently hugs Baby*
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael moves over and gives the horses some carrot like vegetables.
<Kit> <Zeal> I like nature. However I also like comfort-- he needs to stop biting me and imparting my modesty or I shall make a comfortable blanket out of him!
<Kaelan> * Kaelan hugs Baby protectively. "Imparting your modesty?"
<Kit> <Zeal> Hrmph!
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar whimpers. Jean looks aghast.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Hmm, perhaps you shouldn't bite Zeal anymore Baby." *she pets the bearoar*
<Xanatos> 6* Valen gives Rachael a smile, moving on to the third and final horse.
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar leans over and opens it's mouth, putting one of Zeal's breasts in it, but doesn't mind, as if making a peace fofering
<DeathStar> mind = bite
<Kaelan> * Kaelan keeps petting, unaware of impending doom for the poor bearoar.
<DeathStar> 6* The third horse eyes Valen
<Kit> 6Zeal eyes Baby narrowly, sighing.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen offers it some berries, holding the brush in the other hand.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan keeps petting, moving up to Baby's head, she blinks as her hand grazes something soft. She pokes Zeal's melons.
<DeathStar> 6* The horse eats it, allowing Valen to touch it
<Xanatos> 6* Valen begins to brush it, humming a little bit
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, then pokes Zeal's breasts, too. "Why are we all touching these?"
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael steps inside to put away the food she has, peering over at the bed
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "What am I touching exactly...?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> You are touching Zeal's breasts!
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "I-I..." *she hides her hand in Baby's fur*
<DeathStar> <Jean> ... 6* She blinks at Kaelan as Rachael moves over, peering at them all curiously
<Kaelan> * Kaelan looks a little confused and worried. "I thought maybe Baby was chewing on a pillow."
<DeathStar> <Jean> He likes Zeal's breasts because they are soft! 6* She notes simply, patting them as to demonstrate.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan doesn't notice the patting of course. "Well that may be why..."
<DeathStar> <Jean> They're very nice to sleep on, too. I saw Kaelan use them as pillows before! 6* She says, referring to a time before she became Dahok's tent buddy
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "I-I did...?" *she seems surprised, she isn't completely aware of how much she moves around in her sleep*
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods a few times, then pauses. "Yes" 6* She says sheepishly
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Oh..."
* DeathStar is now known as DS[Gone]
<Kogitsune> <Zeal> Y-you all...! how r-rude!
<DS[Gone]> <Jean> ... Rude?
<DS[Gone]> 6* Rachael watches Valen from inside
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pats the horse a few times, gives it some more of the feed he gathered up, then moves off to the side somewhat to peer out at the town.
<DS[Gone]> 6* The village life seems mundane, with people moving about and playing, and old ladies nagging young ladies
<DS[Gone]> 6* People stare at Valen like this O_O
<Xanatos> 6* Valen uncrosses his arms, then turns and moves back for the hut, stepping in and moving to a place to sit down.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan lifts her head, looking towards Valen.
<DS[Gone]> <Rachael> Hey, Vale. 6* Jean waves at him
<Xanatos> 6* Valen nods slightly. 1I like this place.
<DS[Gone]> <Rachael> It is quiet and peaceful. You don't find that in the bigger cities, I've noticed. Or maybe it's Navarro.
<Xanatos> <Valen> I don't know personally, but I have a feeling that it's not just Navarro.
<DS[Gone]> <Jean> How long are we stay? 6* She asks, still not having the hang of tenses in her words
<Xanatos> <Valen> I'm not sure, a little while at least.
<DS[Gone]> <Jean> Gods not come to country? 6* She asks naively, and hopefully
<Xanatos> <Valen> I'm sure they do, but we should be okay for a little while, I hope.
<DS[Gone]> 6* Jean looks relieved, rubbing the bearoar
<DS[Gone]> <Rachael> I just hope we can handle the cold-- 6* She notes, looking midlly uncomfortable already and there's not even frost outside
<Xanatos> <Valen> It's definitely not what we're used too. My body does these odd shakes everyonce and a while, especially if a breeze hits me.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "We'll manage..."
<DS[Gone]> <Jean> Not like cold?
<DS[Gone]> <Rachael> I know what you mean. I guess I should start wearing the furs we got.
<Xanatos> <Valen> It's not that I don't like it, I'm just not accustomed to it. Where we're from, clothing at all was very limited. If we tried to wear something like we are now, we would likely die from the heat.
<DS[Gone]> <Rachael> Yes. I only wore a top in Navarro because Valen said it was proper.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "With time we might get used to it... I..." *she turns her head towards Rachael* "Y-You went topless?"
<DS[Gone]> <Rachael> Yes. I guess Valen is right if you are that surprised.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Our people do. It's why I think nothing of seeing you, Jean, or Zeal without your shirts on. But I look away for your sake.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Well... I see, cultures really can be quite different."

<Xanatos> <Valen> They can indeed. It's why part of my hopes that we have better luck in other towns. But I sense with the church being our main enemy, we won't be finding any sort of safe haven anytime soon.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Unless we went to the Empire or something."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen tilts his head slightly.
<Xanatos> <Valen> The main home of the gods, that would be safe haven to you? 6He watches her, thinking there's more there than blindness.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan just looks forward, frowning at the silence. "...I-I meant that in a not serious way."
<DS[Gone]> 6* Rachael stares awkwardly, glad that KAelan can not see her expression, then peers at Valen
<Kaelan> * Kaelan sighs. "Poor joke... sorry."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Oh. Good. I was beginning to think something was wrong with your mind.
<DS[Gone]> <Rachael> IT seems grassland villages are more relaxed
<DS[Gone]> <Rachael> From church laws.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Less politcal and more about survival. I enjoy that. 6He nods to Rachael.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "No... I'm all too aware of the empire... my mother was killed in an attack on the borders with them."
<Kaelan> * Kaelan sits back. "That's how I met Zeal, actually."
<Xanatos> <Valen> You...know soldiers from the Empire? Few have encountered them and lived.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Know? No. I've seen them, yes."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen hmms. 1The fact you lived is saying something. One may need to chalk it up to dumb luck.
<DS[Gone]> 6* Rachael seems lost, not knowing much aout the empire other than what Valen said
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Luck that I was in Zeal's presence at the time, she had enough of a mind to withdraw rather then be slaughtered."
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Some say they have the power of the gods... that the gods live there... me... I don't understand why they would slaughter their own followers then. It's the reason for my weakened faith."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Perhaps you were in the wrong place, or perhaps you were where you should not be.
<Xanatos> <Valen> But the gods are very much real, you should know that at this point.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Could be... Yes, I can hardly deny that they aren't real after... well... I think I was killed by one."
<Xanatos> <Valen> If one could even call what happened to you as killed.
<DS[Gone]> <Jean> Why gods hate Jean?
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "I don't fully understand myself... what are they afraid of?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> I don't know the specifics, but it seems to me that you share the power they do, the power of the gods. With that power you can truly change this world and if they are anything like me, they don't like change, not in the slightest.
<DS[Gone]> 6* Jean thinks on that carefully
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "What did happen in those ruins? I saw a light... not too unlike when Jean fell to Tareh."
<DS[Gone]> <Rachael> With no church where we lived, I don't really know what I think of their policies.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "They kill people for associating with whatever they deem as evil and see no issue with hurting innocent civilians to get what they want done. I think that's more then enough to draw an opinion on."
<Xanatos> <Valen> I have a feeling that, like people, some are good and some are evil. At least that's my hope.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "One on our side would be a refreshing change."
<DS[Gone]> <Rachael> They did say in the prophecy that people would suffer... 6* She points out, having read up on it some it seems
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Funny how they word things, isn't it?"
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "What does 'The End' really mean? An end to the world, or the world as we presently know it?"
<DS[Gone]> 6* Jean rests her head on the bearoar as Rachael thinks quietly
<Xanatos> <Valen> We can't even begin to know.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Well... what did happen in those ruins? From what I saw something major must have occured."
<DS[Gone]> <Rachael> It is--complicated.
<Xanatos> <Valen> More-so in the fact that we were blinded.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "...I'm not sure I understand."
<Xanatos> <Valen> A light that bright, that you could see from miles away, do you honestly believe you could see after witnessing that?
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "I don't know what happened down there at all. Did you activate something? Was that... the god I met?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> I think you're better off not knowing for now.
<DS[Gone]> 6* Rachael studies Valen quietly
<Kaelan> * Kaelan tilts her head. "Why...?"
<Xanatos> 6* Valen glances to Rachael as if he's trying to get her take on his choice without saying anything to alert Kaelan.
<DS[Gone]> 6* Rachael shrugs, as if unsure, peering at Jean. Jean is eyes the bearoar, frowning, as if trying to remember, and afraid desperately this is all her fault, judging by her expression
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Did something bad happen...? I can take it."
<Xanatos> <Valen> I don't entirely trust that you're completely free of their control, so I will not say much that would potentially risk anything more than you being with us, which I personally feel is a bad idea, but morally I couldn't bring myself to leave you behind.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan tilts her head. "...Sound reasoning at least. Alright, if that's what you think is safest for us all."
<Xanatos> <Valen> I really do.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "I hardly want to add being a risk on top of being a burden. No problem." *she smiles softly*
<DS[Gone]> <Jean> Jean not leave KAelan behind; Kaelan risked everything for Jean. 6* She repeats Kaelan's words that she said about her dad just being the first. "I can't leave anyone behind that would help me."
<DS[Gone]> 6* Rachael peers at Jean, then Valen
<Kaelan> * Kaelan looks towards Jean's voice slowly. "I... thank you Jean."
<Xanatos> <Valen> ... 6He doesn't say anything more to that, shifting to lay back slightly and rest.
* Xanatos is now known as Xan|Gone
<Kaelan> * Kaelan sighs a bit. "I'll try and think of something I can do."
* Xan|Gone has quit IRC (paradox.esper.net dream.esper.net)
* Xan|Gone has joined #TAW-Medieval

<Kit> <Zeal> Noble, lady Al'ryl, however in that case...
<Kit> 6Zeal peers toward Jean, frowning a bit. 1"You need not leave us behind anymore, then."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks, then looks confused, as if trying to remember.
<Kit> <Zeal> On more than one occasion you have moved alone." 6She eyes her sternly, crossing her arms.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers down shamefully. "I-I'm sorry..."
<Kit> <Zeal> There is no need to be sorry-- I merely cannot be your knight if you do not allow me.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Just bring us along, we're okay with taking any risk you will."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean promise. 6* She nods. "--- does this mean Jean take you all everywhere she goes?"
<Kit> <Zeal> Of course.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Oh. Jean has to use bathroom. Coming? 6* She gets up cheerfully.
<Kit> 6Zeal reels slightly. 1"...I-If you want."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean takes Zeal's hand and leads her off to use the bathroom behind the village
* Chad-Sleep is now known as Chad`Winters
* DeathStar is now known as DS[LayingDownForNap]
* DS[LayingDownForNap] is now known as DeathStar
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Hmmm... are you there, Racheal?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Yes.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Just came to mind... I haven't really moved much in days... perhaps you could assist me in bathing? I'd ask one of the gentleman but... you know."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Of course. 6* She nods, setting down her bow and arrow, then moves over to help Kaelan up
<Kaelan> * Kaelan takes the assistance with a smile. "Thank you."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael moves out to talk with the people about how they bathe, and they point to some water drawn from the well for the use. She gets the buckets and steers Kaelan behind the hut - not paying any mind to the hut's windows since Kaelan won't know anyway- and begins to help her undress
* Kaelan seems to count out the steps to the well and back while Racheal does this, she seems capable of getting her clothes off, but accepts the help at any rate. "Thanks, I was afraid I might be starting to smell."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> It'll probably be best to bathe here in the village before we reach the colder temps. 6* She says, moving to undress herself as well
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "A good idea indeed. I remember that morning at the pond... brrr..."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael laughs a bit, then takes a cloth and dips it in the water, adding some ingredients to the water to make it more soapy.
<DeathStar> 6* Then, dipping the cloth, steps over and begins to wash Kaelan's back for her, then once finished, handing the cloth to her to reach the places she can on herself
<Kaelan> * Kaelan starts to wash what she can, washing about her face as well, though careful of the area around her eyes and the bandage she set over them. "I wonder... mind if I help you cook, next time we get a chance?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> You want to learn how to cook? Of course. I don't mind at all. 6* She says cheerfully, and can be heard washing herself
<Kaelan> * Kaelan smiles, "Well, I figure I might be able to pull it off without eyesight, if I depend on my other senses." *she keeps washing*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> There's ways to tell ingredients apart - you can put them in different bags and use feel to identify the bag and ingridient.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan nods and smiles. "Yes, it's something I can definately work on. Learning to fight like this is going to be a challenge too."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Maybe Zeal can teach you that as well?
<Kaelan> * Kaelan nods a bit. "I doubt I'll ever be an amazing warrior, but if I can learn to defend myself again at least I won't be a worry to the rest of you."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I have known people from my village who were so old they couldn't see, yet they could still hunt better than I could with a bow.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "I heard some old stories of blind archers... I just need to start with learning... well... how to hold a bow."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Anything you set your mind to, you can do it - at least the village elders would tell me that.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Thanks Rach... I think maybe I can get over this."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> You will, Kaelan. 6* She says, giving the girl a shoulder squeeze. "Do you need help washing anywhere?"
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "I think I've got it covered... what do we do about hair?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Tilt your head back.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan does as told.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael uses the soapy water to wet her hair, using the suds to lather it up, then uses the other bucket to wash it all out.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan smiles. "That feels much better."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> You're welcome.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok steps inside the hut and he stretches.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan smiles a bit. "Need any help?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I'm good. You should get dressed. 6* She can be heard washing her own hair
<Kaelan> * Kaelan nods and starts drying and getting dressed.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael finishes and begins to dry as well, stretching in the sun, oblivious to anyone else around
<Kaelan> * Kaelan misses this glorious display and just hums a little as she finishes, securing the bandage around her eyes and tucking it under her hair.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Your hair looks very pretty. 6* She tells Kaelan, drying off her breasts in gracious nudity
<Kaelan> * Kaelan fixes it a little. "Thanks... I'm really happy that Jean grew it back out for me."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Perhaps in time she can make it like it was. 6* She says to give Kaelan hope.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Hey, in time it can grow on it's own too, I'm just happy to have it long enough to be called a girl again." *she grins*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> You look very girlish. 6* She says with a gentle laugh.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Really? I'll have to take your word on it. That boy calling me a man in the other town sort of... eh."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Nonsense. You have a beautiful face, lovely hair color, your body is well shaped, and your breasts are very womanly.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan goes a bit red. "Thank you for that reassurance.. I... thanks."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> You should be very proud of your body.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "It's weird... before I met Dahok, I never really gave being a girl a second thought."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> You really like him...don't you?
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "...I... I don't know anymore. Since what happened at the ruins... he left me behind..."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> It must be complicated. 6* She considers.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "I... I really liked him. I've never thought about anyone like that before and well... now look at me."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> He couldn't have known what would have happened. 6* She points out, apparantly taking the clean slate seriously
* #TAW-Medieval is being logged
<Kaelan> * Kaelan considers and nods. "You're right... and I can't say my feelings for him are gone either. Think I should give him another chance?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> You two haven't known each other for long; perhaps you should get to know him better?
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "A good idea."

* Chad`Winters is now known as Chad-Sleep
* DeathStar is now known as DS[Dantes]
<DS[Dantes]> 6* Rachael gives her a smile, then begins to get dressed again
<Kaelan> * Kaelan finishes getting dressed, mostly her clothes seem properly on, she seems to be debating with herself on how far to close her tunic.
<DS[Dantes]> 6* Rachael moves over and adjusts what parts of Kaelan's outfit are out of place, then takes her hand to lead her back for the hut. "So, do you think Zeal has a crush on Jean?"
<Kaelan> * Kaelan smiles a little. "I don't know... Zeal is the matronly sort though, if she sees someone in need of caring she'll act the parent."
<DS[Dantes]> <Rachael> It's just she seems to react like a girl with a crush whenever Jean does something "Taboo".
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "You should see how she reacts when one of us do the same. She just doesn't say anything because she feels we know better."
<DS[Dantes]> <Rachael> She is an interesting person; strong willed, yet will act very ---- young when someone sees her in an "improper" state.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "She was brought up by the church for the most part... I think the kindest word for them would be prudes. Nobility finds exposure to be improper, meanwhile us peasents... well, I was raised on taking what comes and making the most of it."
<Kaelan> * Kaelan pauses. "I ran away with myself there, it's just wasn't as taboo with me."
<DS[Dantes]> <Rachael> Hm. I hadn't considered how sheltered she might be from the Church. I'll have to work on bringing her out of her shell, then. 6* She sets Kaelan down next to Dahok, but figures she won't notice since he's not moving
<Kaelan> * Kaelan tilts her head a little and gently puts a hand on Dahok. She smiles a bit. "Could be a good thing."
<DS[Dantes]> <Rachael> Uh--- KAelan..you're touching Dahok's...
<Kaelan> * Kaelan freezes. "...What...?"
<DS[Dantes]> <Rachael> Uh, never mind. 6* She clears her throat
<Kaelan> * Kaelan slowly moves her hand away. "I thought it might be him... but I... I should be more careful with where I feel about."
<DS[Dantes]> <Rachael> Well, he seems to be asleep, so I'm sure he doesn't mind
<Kaelan> * Kaelen rubs the back of her head a little, she sits back. "I think... in the morning I'd like to find a nice cloth."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean finishes using the bathroom with Zeal and returns, then sees that Kaelan and Rachael look cleaner.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan yawns a little. "Yes... a nice cloth."
<Seraphna> * Kaelan feels at her pendant again, listening for anything in the silence.
<Kit> <Zeal> It seems they bathed.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan lifts her head. "Oh, you're back. Hello."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean want to bathe. 6* She peers at Zeal expectantly
<Kit> <Zeal> I-- Well, I have not done so yet either..
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "There is a well."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Yes. You can wash behind the hut as well.
<Kit> <Zeal> Behind... ...the hut..
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Well, there's no river to bathe in, and doing it inside will make the floor wet.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan turns her head towards Zeal's voice.
<Kit> <Zeal> It is outside!
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "No one will see you though."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> You have bathed outside before.
<Kit> <Zeal> Not in a populated zone, willingly!
<DeathStar> <Rachael> You would prefer not to be clean? I'll keep watch if it makes you feel better.
<Kit> <Zeal> You would?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Of course! 6* She gives her a cheerful smile.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles a little. "And if anyone goes peeking we'll teach them a lesson."
<Kit> <Zeal> That would not be necessary. I would merely ask they be turned away...
<DeathStar> <Jean> I'll get water! 6* She hurries off cheerfully. Rachael nods to Zeal. <Rachael> Yes.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan stretches.
<Kit> <Zeal> ...Very well." 6She sighs and follows Jean
<DeathStar> 6* Jean struggles with two buckets of water. Rachael moves to follow after them and take up a position by the hut as Jean brings the water back over
* Chad-Sleep has joined #TAW-Medieval
* Chad-Sleep is now known as Chad`Winters
<Seraphna> * Kaelan sits back, using the napping Dahok as a sort of pillow.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael adds the ingredients to one water bucket to make it soapy for Jean and Zeal
<Kogitsune> 6Zeal kneels behind the hut in typical paranoic fashion, facilitating Jean's whim.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean gets undressed, peering at Zeal, then kneels, too, curiously
<Kogitsune> 6Zeal mumbles, then undresses and wets a cloth to begin lathering both her and Jean
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael keeps guard, but doesn't look inside the hut to see if Dahok is looking out the winow
<DeathStar> 6* Jean smiles as Zeal lathers her, then peers at Zeal's chest. "How did Zeal get such big mounds?"
<Kogitsune> <Zeal> I cannot help being born such.
<DeathStar> <Jean> You didn't eat anything special? 6* She asks curiously.
<DeathStar> 6* Despite having a good size breast herself, it seems Jean finds Zeal top dog
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok stirs a bit, then stretches.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan turns to face him. "Sleep well?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok jerks a bit, then relaxes. 1"Hwuh?!....Oh yeah. I just fell asleep while waiting for everyone to get back."
<Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles a bit. "Sorry to startle you, Racheal set me down here and it's a bit tricky moving in total darkness."
<DeathStar> 6* The sounds of washing can be heard from inside the hut
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers around, getting a curious look. It's fine. I'm sure you'll get used to it in time too.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles. "The rest of the girls are out washing."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Huh?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "In case you were wondering where everyone was."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Oh. That's probably what that noise is then.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Yes, we have to wash with well water."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean can be heard laughing at something
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> We do? 6He glances towards the window and pats Kaelan shoulder. 1"I need to stretch out. I'm stiff from how I fell asleep."
<Seraphna> "Mmm, I'd stay in here or stick to the front then, Zeal might get violent if she's seen." *she giggles a bit*
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You think I'd try to sneak a peak?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "No, cautioning you so you don't by accident."
<Seraphna> * Kaelan tilts her head, "At least, I don't think you're the type to do that."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok stretches a bit, casually moving towards the window to try and get a good view. 1"Of course not."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean seems to be laughing as Zeal tries to clean ticklish spots and struggling like a child.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan nods a little and stands up slowly herself.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts a bit closer to the window. 1"The village is nice. It's quiet here."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "True, it'll be nice to rest for a bit."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean leans back and begins to wash Zeal's breasts to distract her from her ticklish spots.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok takes mental pictures. 1"I doubt we'll be here too long."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Any amount of time helps right now."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean begins to wash her own legs, bending over. Rachael turns toward the window, since Dahok is talking to Kaelan near it
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Dahok?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok turns away and shifts to get out of it's view. 1"Yeah?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Tell me a little about your home? What's it like?"
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael moves near the window and peers inside it at the two
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You want to know about my home? 6He rubs the back of his neck. 1"It was a smaller port city. Mostly just a trading post for the other island nations.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "What's it like living out there, with all that water?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> It was relaxing, not much happened there while I lived there. Fishing was basically the way of life, that or dock worker or working at one of the trade shops.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Did you go sailing a lot?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I spent most of my life on or around a boat while I lived there.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I've never been on a ship before... certainly never around that much water all at once."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You'd probably get sea sick, a lot of land lovers do. As long as I can remember I've been on a ship or a boat.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I bet I could get used to it."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I have only been on one boat myself.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> In ti-6He jerks, caught off guard by Rachael
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Racheal... are the others done washing?" *she moves her head about as though wondering if she missed everyone coming in*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> They are behind me. And my name is Rach-ael.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "S-Sorry, Rach... Rachael."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok turns to look at Rachael. 1"You scared me."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I just heard voices near the window.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Sorry.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "There's a window...?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You did? 6He rubs the back of his neck. 1"Oh, it's fine. Just caught me off guard
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Yes; I'm talking through it right now
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "F-Facing the back?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Yes. It's so a breeze can come through the hut
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> It would be nice to find a place to fish around here. I wouldn't mind trying fish from this area
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Do you mostly do that with a net or a pole? I've heard out in the oceans they use nets."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Depends on the area and what we're fishing for.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Well... what's the biggest sort of fish you ever caught?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok lists something.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan nods, listening with interest. "So... what sparked your interest in Digging, when you had all that?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Oh I just felt like trying something different.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan leans back against the wall a little, stretching her legs out. "Just... like that?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Yep.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "No family to help out?"
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers over as Jean gets dressed and moves back inside with her
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Family? 6He rubs the back of his neck. 1"They're still in Whet, I think.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Oh... is it common for people in your lands to strike out on their own then?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Probably not as far as I have.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Do you miss home? 6* She asks, sitting down beside Jean, who peers at them all curiously
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Of course.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Will we get to see it when we see Zeal's home?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Have any brothers or sisters?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> No and...6He let's out a huff of air as he thinks. 1"Doubtful."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "We're headed to Sinai?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Zeal said she'd show Jean one day if go there!
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Did she mean... well, the city, or Oas?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks confused. "I don't... know?" 6* She stammers, unsure now
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Which was is Sinai from here?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Eh, she probably meant the city. And West. Always West."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> 'bout how many days?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "From here? I have no idea..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Oh
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael waits for the evil Kaelan to be smited
<Seraphna> * Kaelan rubs the back of her head and looks away slightly.
<DeathStar> 6* STILL WAITING!
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Well... I did ride on a ship once..." *she glowers a bit, like she clearly tried to forget about it*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> That is an odd thing to forget.
<DeathStar> 6* People smile on the nude Zeal.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Not when you'd rather not think about it." *she sighs a little* "Passage to Navarro to work for the gracious Lord Kalo. We fell in fine company."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Kalo is fine company?
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I mostly just found a ship that needed an extra hand if I could or paid my fair across from what I could make from various jobs
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I--- It was sarcasm, sorry. The man turned in my father and executed him."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Sar...casm
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "It's... saying something but meaning the opposite thing. Either as a tool for humor or anger. It's all about your inflections."
<DeathStar> <Jean> In..flections
<Kit> 6Zeal surely casts epic anger in their direction, or doesn't notice, heading back inside quietly after dressing in her new rabbit fur skirts, stockings and gloves and such.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Zeal's moving again!
<Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles a bit. "The tones you use and the way you speak when you're saying something."
<DeathStar> <Jean> I don't understand.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Those are... some big words.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I... yeah they are." *she rubs the back of her head* "Either I picked them up from Zeal or working around nobility has some uses."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Zeal nobility?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Close to it, Templars can boss Nobles around."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok looks at them and he plops over by his parchments
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "SHe uses that flowery speech all the time too. Like when I was translating what she was saying to the blacksmith... I get a lot of the words... I don't use them as much though."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Zeal is flowery.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Not a bad thing. I could never be as... well... elegant as all that."
<Kit> <Zeal> I am... flowery? What does that mean, exactly?
<DeathStar> <Jean> You smell nice?
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael stretches near Dahok, leaning back with her hands so her chest is poking outward a bit
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "You use fancy words and know all sorts of complicated ones. You're well mannered and all... noble like. And you smell nice, yes."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> That you're delicate? 6He takes a casual glance
* Xan|Bye is now known as Xan|Sleep
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Zeal isn't delicate.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I think you can be flowery and still strong. Zeal's proof of it."
<DeathStar> <Jean> And she smells nice.
<Kit> <Zeal> Hm. I feel no closer to the truth than before I asked, and yet I do not know whether to feel flattered or annoyed at all of this.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> She's not?
<Seraphna> * Kaelan grins a little. "Feel flattered."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> She is very strong; a bit shy and sheltered, but strong of spirit.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> If we weren't going to a cold area of this land, I'd suggest working on her shyness.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Because of what she wears?
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael seems to still be in her native top and loin cloth
<Kit> <Zeal> What does the temperature have to do with that?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Well, I'd suggest wearing less and feeling less restricted around people.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok looks Zeal over. 1"I'd say she's not too afraid of showing off skin the way it is
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Hm. 6* She seems to disagree a bit. "Her Templar outfit was revealing, but other than that, she is very shy about what she is seen wearing and whatnot."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I guess I can see that. 6He shifts his parchments together. 1"Me? I'm not afraid to be naked infront of others.
<Kit> <Zeal> ...Revealing... Sinai is in the desert, you know.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I'm just saying you should be more open, Lady Zeal; you have a beautiful body. People are inclined to look at it. You're very attractive.
<Kit> <Zeal> It was hot. Naturally you would wear less or risk collapsing from heat. Hrmph. Especially in armor, even if it is half-plate.
<Kit> 6Zeal gestures. 1"Why would I want people more inclined to look at my body?
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> How else will you pick up a fine man?
<DeathStar> <Jean> Girls suppose to get fine men?
<Kit> <Zeal> A fine man would not seek my body before knowing me.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Don't most people feel an attraction to someone before attempting to get to know them?"
<Kit> <Zeal> I neither know, nor care. I have had plenty of comrades that knew one another through our service long before considering leave together.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Maybe. 6He shrugs. 1"Good looks will get you a lot of places and good discounts if you know how to use them
<DeathStar> 6* Jean seems to be paying close attention
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Well... hmm. Thinking about it, I'm not going to be able to go on looks anymore, huh?"
<DeathStar> <RAchael> There is nothing wrong with your looks
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I mean others looks."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Your hand can tell you what a person looks like - and feels.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan tilts her head a little. "They can...?'
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael moves over and takes Kaelan's hand, moving it to Zeal's face
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers up at them with a look of interest
<Seraphna> * Kaelan slowly feels over Zeal's face.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> See? Can you tell who this is?
<Seraphna> * Kaelan feels a bit more, concentrating. "Soft... so a girl... ummm..." *she feels more, feeling Zeal's nose and lips a little*
<Kit> <Zeal> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael helps guide her hand to Zeal's breasts after she seems to have trouble
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok hops up and he grabs a parchment and some chalk. He jerks to stare now
<Seraphna> * Kaelan blinks a bit. "Like pillows... is it Zeal?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Yes.
<Kit> <Zeal> She had a fifty-fifty." 6She looks annoyed.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Do you always get annoyed easily? 6He looks at Zeal
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I just remember them from earlier when Baby was... umm..."
<DeathStar> <Jean> So, Jean must pick up fine man and use looks to get discounts. 6* She seems to taking mental notes
<Kit> <Zeal> No, lady Al'ryl." 6Her eyes narrow.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I use my charming good looks to try and get discounts or free drinks or even to learn about things in the area.
<DeathStar> <Jean> No?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Dahok is good looking..." *she jerks a bit* "I-I mean... umm..."
<DeathStar> <Jean> ... 6* She peers at Dahok
<Seraphna> * Kaelan just freezes, not knowing where to flee.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Can I pick you up? 6* She asks him
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You certainly could try. 6He gives her his best smile
<DeathStar> 6* JEan walks over, then grabs Dahok, trying to lift him
<Seraphna> * Kaelan turns a little red and tilts her head down.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok hangs his head as she tries to lift him, then lets out a laugh.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses at the laughing. "Did I do something wrong?"
<Seraphna> * Kaelan moves her head to face the two, curious.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Nah, you just took what I said literally.
<DeathStar> <Jean> What do I do after I pick you up?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok begins to explain to her what it means to pick someone up.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks confused.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan just seems surprised Zeal isn't intervening on this.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok rubs the back of his neck. 1"This is hard to explain."
<DeathStar> <Jean> It sounds complicated! Jean just like everyone! Don't see why need to pick up.
<Kit> 6Zeal just crosses her arms, staring at the two.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Maybe it's too soon to be worrying about that sort of thing?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well someday you might find yourself attracted to a guy and you might tell yourself, self, I could see myself winding down with them.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Hm. So I should talk to self. 6* She seems thoughtful
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Sometimes you have to.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean sits by BAby to ponder, then closes her eyes, as if meditating
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok scratches the side of his head and he moves over to the window and hangs his upper body out of it to peer outside. 1"So Rachael, Vale say anything about what kind of monsters they're having problems with around here?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I haven't talked to him about it.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Oh. Thought maybe you ran into him.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I only saw him briefly with the horses.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Speaking of horses, you seem to know what you're doing on them. You have any tips on controlling the less than smart ones?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Just to be gentle and patient with them.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan settles herself down again, reaching out, she puts her arms around Zeal as she gets settled, using her as an anchor.
<Kit> <Zeal> ...Kael.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I'll have to remember that. 6He peers back, giving her a smile.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan halts her actions, "Zeal?"
<Kit> <Zeal> Your arms.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael returns the smile
<Seraphna> * Kaelan jerks, pulling them away. "S-Sorry Zeal..."
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar shifts to put it's body around Zeal
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers up at the sky to see what where the sun's at
<DeathStar> 6* Past High Noon, not quite eveningish
<Seraphna> * Kaelan leans on Zeal a little still.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok pushes away from the window and he turns around, leaning against it now. 1"So tell me about where you and Vale are from."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I'd love to hear more about that myself."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Hm. 6* She pauses, thoughtfully. "It's very warm there, and trees everywhere - we lived in a jungle."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Jungle huh? What's that like?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Well. It's hard to describe.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Oh.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Is it different from the forests in Navarro?"
<Kit> <Zeal> She just said what it was like... very warm, trees everywhere. Yet if you needed more detail... it is like being wrapped in a blanket of thick air, moist and damp, trees larger than the norm with plant and animal life rampant in ways stranger and more wild than anywhere else in this world.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok looks at Zeal now. 1"You know a lot about jungles?"
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael glances at Zeal. "You have been to a jungle?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Zeal knows a lot of things..." *she sounds admiring*
<Kit> <Zeal> Elsewhere the flora and fauna adapt to their environment, there, everything adapts to one another in rapid succession. Just standing within one can be a suffocated experience... though I imagine to one from such a place, it is just as strange to be outside one as it would be for any of us within one.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I never found it suffocating. 6* She says, a strange tone, but not a defensive one. "It was a wonderful place - the villagers are always nice, friendly. Helpful. Everyone helps each other. The jungle gives us everything we need - water, fruit, food. It can also take things away."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> There is nothing like waking up on a tree branch to the songs of vari'as.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Sounds like the sea. Well not the fruit part.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Is the Church there?"
Session Close: Tue Feb 16 00:00:00 2010

Session Start: Tue Feb 16 00:00:00 2010
Session Ident: #TAW-Medieval
<Kit> <Zeal> Before going into the Wasteland, and after leaving Kael in my return to Sinai, I passed through a rather large jungle. Though I cannot say it to be the same as lady Hilund's, I am sure it similar.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> No, there isn't a church there; they find it too hot and oppressive and get lost easily in the jungle
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I bet there's a lot of ruins there.
<Kit> <Zeal> Indeed. Followed the waterways. Like no landmarks in the desert with wide space, in a jungle there are far too many landmarks and not enough wide space. Losing ones bearings is folly.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Mother hides the ruins well, but there have been locations discovered.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> By diggers?
<Kit> 6Zeal peers at Rachael in surprise. 1"Mother? Do you refer to the jungle as so?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Only diggers are allowed to the ruins. 6* She looks at Zeal. "Yes. Though you wouldn't see any of the people admit to that outside the village. The jungle cares for us like a mother, and so we named it that."
<Kit> <Zeal> I only ask because I have heard those that dwell amongst them sometimes speak of it that way. Having not heard you say it prior, it caught me offguard that you might be the same.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I don't feel like I'd be judged. And also, ... well. I wanted to see the world. Most of those in our village have no desire to leave.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok thinks a bit about the ruins in jungle. 1"I get the seeing the world part, Rachael."
<Kit> <Zeal> As one referred to as desert rose, I could hardly judge one for holding their home dear.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "If there's no church... why don't we head there?"
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers down quietly.
<Kit> <Zeal> Simple, Kael.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "It is...?"
<Kit> 6Zeal shakes her head slightly 1"They do not like to read there; there is no reason they would not hesitate to stalk us there."
<Kit> <Zeal> Without presence, they would also not hesitate to raze it as much as they pleased, no?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "But how would they know we're there?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You think they'd risk starting a war to find us?
<Kit> <Zeal> Have they not thus far been non-discriminant even to their own followers cast aside to do so?
<Kit> <Zeal> I have watched Amazo crush pious ones under the stones of their own masonry and this Harbringer fling them like dolls so long as his face was not pinned to its blame.
<Kit> <Zeal> So long as it can be martyred to the Angel's doing, they would not hold back from burning the very jungle to the ground. Lady Hilund, I sympathise, would no doubt despise bringing harm to her Mother.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I was more talking about the church. Obvioulsy the Gods will do what they please here.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> The church has no boundaries anyway. They can do as they wish - they can even kill Kings. Just because Bishop Habashi may be lax, doesn't mean he wouldn't act
<Kit> <Zeal> I would have thought, by now, sir Fyro, that you would understand they are one and the same. The church is merely kindling for the gods themselves, to be burned and sacrificed as pawns, eyes and ears.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Is there nowhere we can go?"
<Kit> <Zeal> To be safe as your mind no doubt desires-- likely, no. We are safest, sadly, as is, always on the move.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I see..."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> We bring danger to anyone who gives us aid.
* Chad`Winters tilts his head back to look at the ceiling. 1"Then that means this village is in danger then."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "So best we never stay one place too long then..."
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dahok
<DeathStar> 6* JEan peers down sadly.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles softly. "I guess we'd better take that clean slate seriously then... we are our own home now."
<Kit> <Zeal> It is important we continue learning what we can. We will never change the status quo by merely running away.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> So finding more runis?
<Kit> <Zeal> Whatever lady Al'ryl may require.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Zeal, can I ask a favor of you?"
<Kit> <Zeal> You may always ask, however my compliance depends upon the favor.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Will you teach me how to hold a bow? To use one?"
<Kit> <Zeal> Most certainly not...
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok raises a brow at Zeal and he moves over, grabbing his cloak and shifting it on.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I... was hoping you would. It could help me with feeling out things with my other senses. We could.. aim at a wall or tree or something."
<Kit> <Zeal> What would you hope to sense out of a wall or tree?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok looks over at Rachael. 1"I'm gonna talk to the villagers, see what's around here so we can plan a path to the next spot.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Something ahead of me without having to reach out and feel at it. Rachael told me about how those with poor eyesight in her lands are sometimes better hunters then even the young and strong. It... might be preferable to me swinging a sword about at the moment."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Alright. 6* She nods at Daohk. "Becareful."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "And... I was sure if I could trust anyone to teach me to use a bow safely it'd be you... Zeal..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well hopefully the villagers are nice around here. 6He just gives her a smile and he moves over, glancing at Zeal as he moves to step out
<DeathStar> <Rachael> When I said you should learn from Zeal, I didn't mean a bow and arrow right away, Kaelan - it's too dangerous for you right now, having just become blinded. A sword would be easier to learn. Zeal can teach you things like feeling out opponents, wind shifts...
<Kit> <Zeal> What would I know of the old and poorly sighted? I am young and though I might not let on, my vision is sharper than normal. I cannot teach what I do not know.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Oh... well... those things then?" *she gets a flushed look*
<Kit> <Zeal> To be perfectly honest, you are quite rash and quick to act, also, so I would be adverse to giving you something to launch projectiles when you are unable to see whom you are mistaking...
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Sorry... what about... those things Rachael said?"
<Kit> <Zeal> Hm. Perhaps." 6She looks to the side skeptically. 1"The two sword style was something I was creating based on a foreign art based on securing and dominating your reach distance. However the art was an unarmed routine and I am neither an expert at it nor my incomplete style."
<Kit> <Zeal> You would be exceptionally receptive to wind shift, though, I imagine. Without sight, you should feel breeze and temperature more accutely, though your mind has not been trained, rather untrained from two decades of not relying upon it, to interpret that usefully.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Is it something I can learn?"
<Kit> <Zeal> Anyone can learn, Kael. It is just... knowing you, you would hope to perform at the talents of a master; competing with these elderly you speak of that hunted and fought their whole lives, within a short time. It is just unreasonable to think that you could do so.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan rubs the side of her face a little. "I... can lower my expectations."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok moves to to the well and leans against it, and stares up at the sky again
<Kit> <Zeal> I am no master; I would seek no unfruitful hope in a disciple.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I'd like to learn anything I can... I don't like the idea of being... lost."
<Kit> <Zeal> ...Very well. Just do not expect much.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Expect... no, hope? I'm going to cling onto anything I can get right about now. But you take what you get and make the most of it. That's what Dad taught me."
<Kit> 6Zeal sighs a bit upon hearing that.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan tilts her head to the side. "I won't be dissapointed Zeal... but I'm always going to try my hardest to improve."

<Kit> 6Zeal puts a hand to her cheek and coos, her finger held out as she awws.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael blinks at Zeal going ga-ga over the animal. "You like that type of monster, too?"
<Kit> <Zeal> Mm... h-huah?" 6She turns her head, blinking.
<DeathStar> 6* The cub keeps licking the finger. Rachael points.
<Kit> <Zeal> U-uh, of course not..!
<DeathStar> 6* Jean holds out the cub to Zeal and it licks at her face.
<Kaelan> "So we have a new pet."
<Kit> <Zeal> Uaah.." 6She smiles, exclaiming.
<Kaelan> "Apparently adorable too."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok scratches Baby's ears as he watches.
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar seems pleaed
<DeathStar> <Jean> It's got a blue fur coat and pretty eyes. 6* She watches it nibble on Zeal's chin
<Kit> <Zeal> I-It is adorable... i-indeed..
<Kaelan> "Sounds very cute." *she smiles a little, she slowly moves over towards Jean*
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> What ya gonna name it Jean?
* Kaelan reaches out slowly, hoping to pet it.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Cub!
<DeathStar> 6* The tigoar lets her, mewing
* Kaelan smooths the tigoar's fur gently.
<Kit> <Zeal> U-Um, l-lady Al'ryl?
<DeathStar> <Jean> Yes? 6* She looks up from petting it's chin. Rachael moves over and joins the petting, looking awed as well
<Kit> <Zeal> Do you mind... if I call him Soma?
<DeathStar> <Jean> Soma? 6* She blinks. "Okay. Hi, Soma!"
<Kit> 6Zeal nods, swooning.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Does Soma mean something?
<Kit> <Zeal> Well...
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar uslks
<Kit> <Zeal> To be honest I am unsure. I ...think I remember it as a word of the meadowland people I was born to, yet I... still cannot remember well much of anything.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Hm. If you remember, let me know.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Of the meadowland? I don't remember that one."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You getting jealous, Baby?
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar eyes the tigoar hungerily
<Kit> <Zeal> Our meadowfolk were nomadic people, Kael. You were younger than I when that... happened. It does not surprise me.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "You have a point..."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean moves over and slips the cub into Zeal's breasts, where it rests comfortablely.
<Kit> 6Zeal pauses, then crosses her arms around it, smiling.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> If you try to eat it, you'll make Jean mad.
<Kit> <Zeal> It is why the villages there are made from grasses. They are not made to resist nature... we moved according to season and weather.
<DeathStar> 6* It looks comfortable and closes it eyes sleepily. Rachael aws.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Yeah... I just don't remember that word... and it seems we took too long to move that time..."
* Kaelan is now known as Seraphna
<Kit> <Zeal> Oas and Siis were really just spots the church knew we returned to every season so that they could make their visits just to remind us they existed.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Mmph..."
<Kit> 6Zeal frowns slightly. 1"...No... that time was different. So sudden and such numbers... I cannot say, but even with my vague memories... that should not have happened. Something changed for good."
<DeathStar> <Jean> What happened?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Monsters."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> It must have been a lot of monsters... 6* She murmurs
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Zeal probably remembers it better..." *she murmurs a little, crossing her arms*
<Seraphna> * Kaelan turns away, looking much more somber then she usually does.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok rests against Baby
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I don't like to think about it... like I don't like to think about the outpost attack."
<Kit> <Zeal> ...No, honestly all I remember is there being monsters, and almost everyone dying.
<Kit> <Zeal> ...My memories have only started to return while travelling with you. Mostly grass and skies. Things I was taught as a small girl.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I have nightmares, sometimes..."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael looks between the two with a sympathetic look, while Jean gives them both hugs
<Seraphna> * Kaelan appears surprised and embarrased.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "What trick of fate had us live through both of those events and meet again in Navarro... heh..."
<Kit> <Zeal> Fate would have us both die, depending upon your definition of it.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Hmm... fortune then. Thinking about it, we may be the two luckiest girls on the planet with those odds."
<Kit> 6Zeal slowly peers toward Kaelan. 1"... Uh.. huh."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Think about all we've lived through. Heh..." *she looks like she's trying to cover up her feelings*
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael studies the two; first Kaelan, then Zeal, then back. "You two must have a deep connection from your history together."
<Kit> <Zeal> Um..
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I know I trust Zeal with my life..."
<Kit> 6Zeal looks uncomfortable now.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles at the pause. "Don't worry, I wouldn't trust me either."
<DeathStar> <Jean> I trust you!
<Seraphna> * Kaelan rubs the back of her head bashfully.
<Kit> 6Zeal sighs, looking away, petting the kitten.
<DeathStar> 6* It makes a rumbling sound that seems to indicate happiness. Rachael peers at Jean, then smiles softly
<DeathStar> <Jean> Kaelan nice!
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I... thanks..." *she turns away and makes a show of adjusting her bandage about her eyes*
<Kit> 6Zeal crouches off to the side, making girlish noises as she pets the kitten, happy with its reaction.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok leans forward, resting his arms on the top of the horses head, watching the three girls act girlish
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Lady Zeal is very cute with furry animals. 6* She says, wiggling her finger at it
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Give her a stuffed animal sometime."
<Kit> 6Zeal sniffs indignantly. 1"A-Am not. He... just needs to be looked after, is all."
<DeathStar> <baby> Roar
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I think you lost your cute role, Baby.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Are too." *she moves over and coos at the kitten, petting it gently after feeling around Zeal's melons for it*
<DeathStar> <Baby> Roar.... 6* It looks sad and depressed
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers back and he shifts under his cloak to pull out some meat he saved and he tosses it at Baby's mouth
<DeathStar> 6* It eats it, chewing
<DeathStar> 6* It mews at the attention, nibbling at Zeal's breasts for food
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "It thinks you're it's momma."
<Kit> 6Zeal jerks, making a sound, then lifts it out slightly, twitching. 1"Hmm, maybe rabbit fur was a bad choice in clothing...
<Kit> <Zeal> It has teeth. Surely dried meat would do the trick.
<DeathStar> 6* IT looks around sleepily as it's held out. It mews for the warmth to come back
<Kit> 6Zeal moves over to their supplies and fishes, then sits to feed it a small piece.
<DeathStar> 6* It nibbles on it, while the bearoar leans in close to it, sniffing
<Kit> 6Zeal reaches over and scratches Baby's chin.

<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar is appeased
<Kogitsune> 6Zeal smiles at Baby. 1"I have nae forgotten you. Just between us... I.. have a soft spot for small furry things. That is all. Shhh."
<DeathStar> 6* Baby pauses, then roars, since he is big and strong and mighty
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok leans over to Baby and whispers to him what that means
<Kogitsune> <Zeal> Indeed, I shall count upon you to watch over your little brother here.
<Kogitsune> 6Zeal jerks, eyeing Dahok, since she intended only for Baby to hear
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok gives her a smile since Baby was with him
<DeathStar> 6* The cub looks at Zeal sleepily
<Kogitsune> <Zeal> ... Oh look, it is weary..!" 6She turns away from Dahok, pretending to rest
<Anyata> Kaelan> "Is it?" *she leans against Zeal curiously*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok goes back to whispering to Bear
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar listens intently
* Anyata is now known as Seraphna
