<DeathStar> 4.16.2389
<DeathStar> Location: Ice Plains of Nuege
<DeathStar> 6* A bitter cold morning comes in
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas glances over the supplies, then eyes the retarded horse trying to eat snow
* Kaelan is up with the dawn, an extra layer of clothes wrapped about her and as she feels along a scarf, folding it properly to wear. She rung her fingers over the cloth carefully.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok stands by the rehtard horse, petting it's back, having gotten up early.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks up from making a pot of soup, that looks an odd color. "Jean done cooking!"
<DeathStar> 6* She looks around, then gets a bowl, moving over to offer it to Kaelan since she's blind
<Kit> <Zeal> Lady Al'ryl... you... cooked?
<DeathStar> <Jean> Rachael is too weak, so Jean did it!
* Kaelan leans towards the fire a little, sniffing at at the air, she smiles and accepts the bowl. "Thank you Jean."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok tilts his head back to look at Jean at the pot, sniffing the air a bit.
<Kit> <Zeal> Lady Rachael?" 6She pauses, looking worriedly to her side
<DeathStar> 6* Jean holds out a bowl to Dahok, expectantly, as the greenish soup bubbles
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael seems asleep still, naked underneath all the layers of fur put on her. She looks as if her fever broke, but her face seems to indicate she's having bad dreams
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Uh...I'll grab some in a short bit.
* Kaelan sniffs at it a bit more, taking in the scent, she blows softly to cool it before taking a sip of the soup.
<Kit> 6Zeal sighs a bit and and gently shakes Rachael.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean's lip trembles as she looks at Dahok
<DeathStar> 6* Kaelan would find it very salty.
<DeathStar> 6* And herby
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael stirs, then jerks awake, her ears twitching as she looks around, then pauses, shifting to recover herself after the fur slid down.
<Kaelan> "Good soup Jean." *she sips some more, keeping her face down* "What herbs did you use?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Used some left overs after Zeal finished with Rachael!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok glances at Kaelan and he turns to grab the bowl. 1"Thanks."
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar and Soma sniff the soup, then back away.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean smiles, not taking her eyes off Dahok
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Medicine soup, interesting idea."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Bottoms up I guess. 6He puts the bowl to his mouth and starts downing it in one go.
<Kit> <Zeal> You used... septics?
<DeathStar> <Jean Septics?
<Kit> <Zeal> ...Those will give you.." 6She eyes Dahok and Kael, then goes silent.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean beams happily, clearly pleased and getting a higher affection level
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok sets the bowl down. 1"It's unique." 6He gives her a smile and moves over to his stuff and starts packing it up
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas quietly eyes the soup, then moves behind one of the horses to keep out of JEan's line of sight; she takes a bowl and offers it to Zeal now. Rachael eyes the soup, trying to get her bearings
<Kaelan> * Kaelan finishes and sets down the bowl as she returns to wrapping the scarf around her neck and partially over her face, this seems practiced, though somewhat silly when combined with the blindfold.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok pulls out one of his pouches of ale and opens it. He takes a pull from it.
<DeathStar> 6* Kaelan and Dahok begin to feel more energetic, even as their tongue and stomach revolts
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Where are my clothes? 6* She asks quietly, shaking off her dream as best she can
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok pauses and puts a hand to his stomach and he rubs his face and caps off his ale. He packs it away and moves over to his rehtard horse and starts putting things on her.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan pulls up her hood, she tilts her head a little and rubs her tummy at the conflicting feelings.
* Kit puts a hand to Rachael's shoulder, then shifts to reach for a sort of terrace she set up with them on it by the fire, handing them to her.
* Kit is now known as Zeal
<DeathStar> 6* Jean's lip trembles as Zeal ignores the bowl
<Zeal> Have you fed Baby, lady Al'ryl?
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael takes the clothes, shifting to put them on slowly, testing her arm to see how it feels after being treated. She then adds a layer of fur around her body since she ripped up parts of the clothing
<DeathStar> <Jean> Yes! 6* The bearoar's bowl remains untouched
<DeathStar> 6* The retarded horse keeps eating snow
<Zeal> The horse is eating snow..
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok finishes tieing his stuff to his horse and he runs his hand through his hair. 1"So?"
<DeathStar> <Thomas> She told you last night that would kill it.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan digs out the gloves from her bag and pulls them on, fixing her clothes a little before securing her sword belt about her hips, she slowly stands up, grabbing her bag. "I believe I'm ready."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well I can't watch it all night. 6He reaches over to pull the horses head up
<Zeal> Lady Al'ryl, could you get the horse some feed?
<DeathStar> 6* JEan nods, setting the bowl down in front of Zeal, then moves to get the food.
* Zeal nonchalantly pours half out beneath the fire's edge.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Eating snows bad. 6He points a finger at it's face
<DeathStar> 6* The horse looks at Dahok dully, like it's brain isn't working. It then shifts to go to sleep
* Kaelan wanders over to Zeal and Rachael. "How are you feeling Rachael?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean gets the feed and carries it over to the horses to feed them, holding out her hand and giggling as the horses it from it.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Better. 6* She shifts her hair to cover her ears, applying something to it to keep the hair in place.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Look, Jean's brought you some real food. 6He points at her
<DeathStar> 6* The retarded horse keeps sleeping
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Lazy like me. 6He aww's a bit and stretches
<Zeal> Or dying in shock.
* Zeal shrugs. 1"It can be hard to tell since horses sleep standing."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> What's shock?
<Kaelan> "Don't horses stop doing that if they become ill?"
<Zeal> <Zeal> Since drowsiness sets in before the shock, it will fall over if it dies, Kael. Until then it is fine.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean moves to the retarded one, tries to to get it to eat from her hand, then narrows her eyes, bringing her fist down on it's head and causing it to jerk awake with a nyeh! She then holds out her hand with the food, cheerfully smiling again as it eats from it
* Zeal stares.
<Zeal> Did... she just hit it?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok looks at Jean. 1"So that's what you have to do."
* Kaelan jerks her head towards the horses noise. "That was... Jean?"
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas eyes the cheerful Jean, stepping back. "That...was rather frightening."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I didn't think I could hit a horse...Hmmm
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Just don't hit it's backside."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers at Jean, then kneels by the fire, rubbing her hands together to get warm, looking cold. "Where are we going now?"
<Kaelan> "Further north, to Nuege."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Thomas said that's where something is supposed to happen next.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Hm? I just said there was where I was headed
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> But you've headed where strange things have been occuring, right?
<Kaelan> "Well... do we want to go somewhere else? It's as good as any place."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Yes, but that doesn't mean everywhere I go something will occur; Nuege is the capital of Nuege. It's a good place to restock adn get information.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers at the flames, shivering slightly. "That is about 4 or 5 days away. I hope we can make it that far in this cold."
<Zeal> Preparing properly we should be fine for a while.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I was taught to follow the water birds if I wanted to find land and fish.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Thomas is water bird?
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Of sorts.
<Kaelan> "I think I get the comparison. Though many birds can freeze to death where we are going."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Hear that Thomas, Kaelan thinks you might freeze to death.
<Chad`Winters> 6He says it light heartedly
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I see. That may well happen if we're not careful
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Then I guess we'll just have to becareful.
<Kaelan> "We should be very careful, stop before sunset every day to make another one of these shelters."
<Zeal> I am insulted, since sir Thomas has listened to precaution faithfully.
<Kaelan> "Thomas is more then capable... I didn't mean it... in such a way."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Sir Thomas is water knight bird
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok looks at Zeal and he rests his hands behind his neck again
<Zeal> Sir Thomas is a knight?
<Kaelan> "Isn't he a templar?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Sir Thomas work for church like Zeal, right? So he is knight!
* Zeal looks to Thomas.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I am no Knight, I'm afraid
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well if we're traveling by light, we should get moving then.
<Kaelan> "Oh... well you sound sort of like one... very strong to me."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I-- see.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers at Zeal's bowl, then points at the rest. "Shouldn't waste."
<Kaelan> "Knights are strong. They're capable." *she sounds almost dedicated to such a thought*
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Rachael, you well enough to handle a horse?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Yes. 6* She nods.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas moves to pack up the last of the tents and supplies for everyone.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Even recovering, I still look bad compared to you. 6He hangs his head
<Zeal> Heh heh.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael blinks, glancing at her healing wounds, then at Dahok.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well atleast I'm one up on Zeal. 6He winks at her and moves to grab Baby
<Kaelan> "Well you are far less pretty then she is." *she too sounds playful*
<Zeal> If you say so.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I---
* Kaelan moves over to their voices, fixing her cloak about herself.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael looks unsure how to respond. The bearoar roars as it gets placed on the retarded horse
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok pats Baby then looks at Zeal, pointing at her bowl. 1"Make sure you eat it all up, hate to see Jean's heart broken." 6He pats his horse and climbs up on it.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael takes Jean's hand, leaning her to the horses so she isn't eyeing Zeal
<Zeal> I had my fill. I do not eat as much as a fisherman.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael climbs up on the horse, pulling JEan up with her
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Man's gotta keep his strength up.
* Kaelan pats a horse's side gently.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers back at Baby. 1"How's your leg feeling today?
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar covers it's eyes
<DeathStar> 6* Jean reaches over to pull Kaelan up
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas mounts the other horse, offering a hand to Zeal
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Still hurts, huh? 6He ruffles the fur on his head. 1"Well you'll be back to your normal self soon enough.
* Kaelan eeps a bit and smiles, she was lost in thought for a moment, then wraps her arms around Jean when she's secure on the horse.
* Zeal finishes gathering up her tent and belongings, then walks over and smiles to Thomas, taking it.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Well, lead the way. 6* He tells Dahok after Zeal is secure
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok moves to take the horse out and he peers around as he wraps some cloth around his face and head.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael urges her horse onward, glancing about, then heads northward, letting Dahok lead. Thomas takes the rear, carefully making sure his horse doesn't slip on the ice and snow. As they move out, a heavy snow is already falling
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks up and around, sticking out her tongue
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok heards northward.
* Kaelan hugs Jean gently. "Hmmm... more snow."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> There's already enough out here.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... The horses seem to be having trouble with it as it is. 6* She notes as the horses seem to be slowing down as the trudge ahead
<Kaelan> "It's how there's enough, it doesn't like to stop."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> This might take longer then we first thought.
<Kaelan> "More then likely, yes. Unless those travel reckonings all take such weather into account... however that's just wishful thinking."
<Zeal> Horses are not intended for this kind of weather and climate..
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Let us hope the weather does not grow worse. 6* He notes, the visibility already low
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Should we send them back and go on foot?
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> That first guy we met said he had horses that could handle this area.
<Zeal> If it worsens we should seek shelter earlier.
* Kaelan hugs Jean a little more. "I think most use a sled so the horses aren't carrying so much on their backs."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Is it always this...6He just waves an arm around.
<Zeal> I never rode horses..
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks around curiously, then leans over to take some snow, causing KAelan to tilt with her, then brings herself back up, mkaing a snowball, and tosses it at Dahok
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok is hit and he jerks around, not expecting something like that. 1"We're under attack!"
* Kaelan hugs onto her a little more after the odd tilting.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks innocent, peering up at the sky.
<Kaelan> "W-We are?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> .... attack? 6* She stops, glancing around
* Zeal laughs quietly, shaking her head
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers around, then feels his head and eyes the snow. 1"What the..."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers up now, eyeing the sky threatingly.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean smiles devilishly, with childish glee and mischief
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael frowns, urging the horse on again. "I don't see anyone."
* Kaelan whispers to Jean, "Was that you?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> A big thing of snow fell from the sky and hit me.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Not say.
<Zeal> So it was.
* Kaelan starts to whisper tips on how to make a better snowball to her.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, listening quietly as she leans over and gets more snow once Dahok isn't looking her way, then tosses it again for him
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> A shame we can't use magic to make this go easier.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok is hit and her peers backwards again
<DeathStar> 6* Jean innocently looks ahead, her lips curling in a smile
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok narrows his eyes a bit and he slowly looks ahead again
<DeathStar> 6* Jean leans over once more to get more snow
* Kaelan smiles softly.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok quickly turns and aims his hand, sending a gale burst at the area of snow infront of Jean, making sure to keep it away from the horse and her specifically
* Zeal tosses her own at Dahok, peering forward. 1"What was that..!?" 6She gestures at the burst.
<DeathStar> 6* The horses freak out at the magic and take off with Rachael, Jean, and Kaelan through the icy field; they fade from sight in the snow
<Zeal> Sir Thomas!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok is hit and he blinks at the the three take off. 1"Well that didn't work out right..." 6He turns and urges his horse to follow
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas blinks, and tries to get the horse to go on; Dahok's retarded horse zigzags the wrong way with him
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> No not that way! THAT WAY! He tries to steer her
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> No not that way! THAT WAY! 6He tries to steer her
<DeathStar> 6* Kaelan would find herself jolted off the horse as it rides along, and moments later Dahok comes zigzagged toward her; the horse doesn't see her in the high snow.
<DeathStar> 6* The camera focuses on D and K for the moment
* Kaelan cries out as she falls into the snow.
<Kaelan> "H-Hey! Wh-where...! What's going on!?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Kaelan?! 6He pulls back to try and slow his horse down
<DeathStar> 6* The horse stops, a fot from Kaelan
<Kaelan> "Dahok!?" *she turns about in the snow*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers down and he moves the horse slowly so he's beside her. He holds his hand down out. 1"Grab my hand."
* Kaelan reaches out to grab at it.
<DeathStar> 6* More snow begins to fall, making the visibility even less; a blizzard seems to beginning
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok grunts as he pulls her up out of the snow. He then tries to pull her up
<Chad`Winters> NRP: onto the horse
* Kaelan works to get herself onto the horse as well with his help.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Hold on. 6He eyes the snow now to see if he can find Rachael's horses tracks
<DeathStar> 6* There are no signs of tracks at all. The snow falling covers everything too fast
* Kaelan hugs onto him, her breathing faster, a little freaked out.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> This is bad. 6He peers backwards then looks at Baby. 1"Baby, do you know which way Jean is?
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar just roars and covers his eyes
<DeathStar> 6* In the distance, a shadow can be made out in the blizzard
<Kaelan> "I... I'm not sure where they went either... the horse was going so fast and..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Good idea. 6He holds his thumb up then pauses as he eyes the shadow. 1"HEY!!"
<DeathStar> 6* The shadow begins to get fainter in his vision
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok turns the horse that way and tries to get it to follow
<Kaelan> "What is it...?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Not sure. But it's not snow.
<DeathStar> 6* The horse zigzags along after the shadow, as it continues ahead. The snow begins to blow in their direction, pelting them, as they continue along, and as Dahok gets closer, he can see Rachael on the horse, trying to get it under control as it rides wildly ahead.
<Kaelan> "Let's just hope it's not a monster then..." *she hugs onto him, using Dahok partially as shelter as she holds on tight*
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Come on girl, they're right up there. 6He tries to keep her as steady as possible
<DeathStar> 6* As Dahok gets closer, he'd see Rachael on the horse, peering his way and waving her hand at him; even as he gets closer, with her directly in front of him, she moves her lips, but words don't seem to reach him over the blizzard - snow keeps pelting him and Kaelan's faces
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok squints more, luckily having wrapped his face with some clothes. 1"She's right ahead of us!"
* Kaelan tries pulling her hood down more, slightly happy now about the scarf and large blindfold covering her face as she feels the cold sting exposed skin. "We need to get close, sound doesn't travel well in a snowstorm."
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar roars now, while the horse keeps going on ahead; the snow from the blizzard seems to keep hitting them, even with them 7 feet away from Rachael
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> We're almost there girl, you can do it. 6He leans forward a bit now.
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar keeps roaring, growling at Dahok and biting at Kaelan's arm since she's between him and it
* Kaelan keeps hugging onto Dahok, she eeps at the bite, gasping a little, she frees that arm up to try and hug onto the bearoar too. "It's okay Baby..."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok glances back. 1"Somethings wrong Baby?"
<DeathStar> 6* The retarded horse suddenly begins to tilter forward, as if it were falling
<Kaelan> "He's biting me, I think he wants your attention."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok's eye go wide and he pulls back on the reins.
<Kaelan> "Wha... Dahok stop!"
<DeathStar> 6* The horse keeps falling forward; Dahok would now see no Rachael, only snow hitting his face, and huge ravine in the ice plains. The horse seems like it's going to go over no matter
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shoves Kaelan Baby off backwards, while his other hand reaches to start undoing their supplies.
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar falls backwards, then grunts as Kaelan lands on him. The retarded horse begins to fall downward, even as supplies drop off along the edge
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok grabs his main bag and tent and kicks off the horse, reaching to grab onto the edge of the ravine
* Kaelan pulls herself up and off of Baby, afraid to move too much not knowing where the drop is, she merely hugs onto Baby.
<DeathStar> 6* Dahok dangles onto the edge, not about to be able to get himself up, and his grip weakening. A shame Kaelan is afraid and hugging the bearoar
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> KAELAN!
<DeathStar> 6* The wind in the ravine howls as it blows, making talking and hearing nearly impossible
<DeathStar> 6* Though she can hear Dahok yell, it's hard to say WHERE it originates
* Kaelan looks around, reaching about, she slowly feels at the snow for signs of the horse tracks, so she can follow them to the edge. "Baby, stick with me!"
<DeathStar> 6* She'd find no tracks as she moves her hands about. The bearoar begins to move away from Kaelan
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok glances down briefly and he yells out again.
* Kaelan moves after the bearoar. "Baby? F-Find Dahok...!" *she feels out so she can follow him*
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar stops above Dahok, peering down at him
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok looks up. 1"Baby! My hero! I'm so going to find you some beautiful girls to slay with you."
<Chad`Winters> NRP: stay
* Kaelan feels around when the bearoar stops, trying to locate Dahok. "DAHOK!? HELLO?"
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar shifts and knocks Kaelan forward so she half-dangles off and touches Dahok
* Kaelan eeps and finds Dahok, she tries to back up a little to avoid falling, keeping a hand on Dahok. "There you are..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> It's me alright. Just hanging here.
* Kaelan carefully braces herself and grabs at his arm. "Th-THen we'd better get you back up!"
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, the snow under Kaelan shifts her forward a bit; if she tries to rescue Dahok, his weight will pull her over. But if she doesn't, he dies.
* Kaelan cries out, trying to grab onto him and stop herself from falling at the same time. "D-Dahok!"
<DeathStar> 6* She continues her slide down from his weight
<Kaelan> "B-Baby! Help pull!" *she continues to try and help him* "Dahok, I'm slipping!"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok drops a bit as she slips and his eyes go wide. 1"Well stop then!
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar bites into her leg and holds on
* Kaelan cries out in pain but grits her teeth and pulls harder. "S-Start climbing! This hurts!"
<DeathStar> 6* It then begins to back up, tearing into her flesh as it pulls her up a bit where she can ger her balance
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok kicks a bit to try and get grip so he can help get himself up
* Kaelan holds onto Dahok and works at getting her balance.
<DeathStar> 6* Together, the two manage to get up on top. The bearoar lets go, then sniffs one of the bags of supply, getting at food
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok pants a bit as he kneels there. 1"Thanks you two."
<Kaelan> "Ah... h-he broke a little flesh... you're welcome. We seem to be developing a habit of this." *she feels around the supply bags for cloth*
<DeathStar> 6* The snow continues to fall and the tempature steadily drops
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> That's try to stop it. 6He shifts to get Baby some food and he peers around. 1"We need to build a shelter.
<Kaelan> "Dahok, I need your help first, help me tie this tight about my leg... open blood in the cold is a very bad thing."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok moves to help her and tie it
<Kaelan> "As long as you direct me, I should be able to help you build one of those snow shelters."
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You have your sword on you?
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas rides ahead with Zeal, peering at the blinding snow. "I can't tell where to go, Lady Zeal."
<Zeal> It would be best to slow down and merely get our bearings or we will all simply be lost.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas does so; he peers about, frowning, then jerks, pointing; up ahead, they can see a group of templars, being attacked by something. Their screams do not reach them over the wind
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Look
<Zeal> We must help..
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas nods, riding toward them. As they get closer, the horse begins to resist, trying to stop and back up. The templars, just 7 feet away, seem to be attacked by some shadowed beast that can't be made out in the blizzard.
* Zeal brings up her bow and steadies an arrow. 1"Keep us still if you can..."
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas does so, bringing the horse to a stop.
* Zeal tries to keep a bead on the shadow, then looses an arrow for it
<DeathStar> 6* It flies forward and seems to pass it; at that moment, they begin to slant a bit, and Thomas jerks the reins back. He pauses, peering down, gaping at a ravine. The horse's natural instincts seemed to have brought it to a stop before they went over, unlike the retarded one
<DeathStar> 6* Glancing back up, both would no longer see the monster or templars.
<Zeal> ...I-- back us up!
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas begins to do so, frowning; at that moment, Zeal would feel, almost through her magic, Jean trying to call out to her to the east. Or is it another illusion?
<Zeal> ... E-East... but be careful.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas glances at Zeal, and moves eastward without fail. "Do you sense something, Lady Zeal?"
<Zeal> I am unsure. This is not something... I have encountered before.
* Zeal rubs at her eyes once, glancing back the way they just about fell
<DeathStar> 6* As they travel through the blizzard, they can see Jean ahead, struggling with something that can't be made out in the snow - at least from this distance. Thomas slows, but does not halt. "Do we keep moving forward? It could be another ravine."
<Zeal> Lady Al'ryl..?
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers their way, desperately waving, when something knocks her into the snow and out of sight. For a moment, Zeal thinks she can see a nude female figure as the snow blows
* Zeal aims toward her figure. 1"Halt!"
<DeathStar> 6* A moment, then the figure turns, and Zeal would see an image that she almost forgot, her mother.
<DeathStar> 6* Zeal's mother peers in her direction
<Zeal> Mo... ther..?
* Zeal stares incredulously, her hands shaking. 1"... I--.."
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas jerks, and then pushes Zeal off the horse as Zeal's mother launches an attack that hits him, knocking him off the horse with a grunt. Zeal's mother's image turns into what appears to be an naked woman, with blue lines all over her, and icy eyes
<DeathStar> 6* The woman then pauses as Jean punches her in the back of the head, taking a stance like Valen showed her; she turns to eye Jean, then the woman lifts her hand, the blizzard shifting it's snow directly into Jean's face
* Zeal frowns, quivering, then strains her arm and launches an arrow at her back
<Zeal> Another demon...?!
<DeathStar> 6* The ice demon cries out, then frowns; the blizzard surrounds it, and when it calms back down, she's gone. Jean sits up, rubbing at her face in pain, her eyes closed and tears running down
<DeathStar> <Jean> My eyes hurt---
* Zeal shifts, looking around. 1"Sir Thomas?!"
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas strains to sit up, peering at ice in his shoulder, and blood running down it.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I will live; since I saw...my mother--- I had to assume it was an illusion if you were seeing yours.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Zeal! Rachael in trouble! She ran off saying Valen's name!
<Zeal> Where-- where did she run!?
<DeathStar> 6* Jean points in a direction. Thomas sits up. "I'll help JEan. Go quickly, Lady Zeal; it will likely lead her into a trap."
* Zeal winces at Thomas, taking one of her extra shirts out, gesturing to the icicle. 1"It is you who needs help, not lady Al'ryl..."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> And if it leads her over a ravine?
<Zeal> I am going! Lady Al'ryl, come here!
<DeathStar> 6* Jean stumbles blindly in Zeal's direction.
<Zeal> Put pressure on his wound..
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I will be fine, Lady Zeal; you must hurry. If she's already run off, she could be already in trouble. 6* He stands up and moves to Jean, taking the cloth and applying pressure with her help
* Zeal gets up, nodding and heads in the direction she was told.
<DeathStar> 6* As Zeal moves through the blizzard, she'd see, after a few minutes, Rachael up ahead, kissing the ice demon and hugging onto it. <Rachael> You're alive!!!
<Zeal> Lady Hilund!!
<DeathStar> 6* The ice demon smirks at Zeal, taking Rachael and leading her to the ravine edge that's behind them. "Of course, Rach. I'd never leave you." 6* She tells Rachael, and kisses her on the lips, a bit romantic, which seems to throw Rachael off
<Zeal> Rachael, get away from that thing!!
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... Zeal...? 6* She pauses, glancing around confused, and dazed. The ice demon frowns, perhaps surprised Rachael could hear Zeal, and takes her arm, yanking her toward the edge.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* As Dahok and Kaelan work, they'd hear Zeal's voice drift along the blizzard wind
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok pauses, looking around. 1"I heard something...Zeal."
* Kaelan lists her head, trying to hear better. "I did too..."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok moves to pick up their stuff and puts it on Kaelan. He then moves and grabs Baby. 1"We're going to check it out.
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar roars triumphantly as Kaelan is weighed down with supplies like a donkey
* Kaelan shoulders the packs and then grabs Dahok's shoulder.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok starts leading her towards the voice
<DeathStar> 6* As they travel, after a moment htey can see Zeal yelling at Rachael and what appears to be an ice demon, pulling Rachael toward the ravine. Zeal is closest, however, to Rachael at this point
* Kaelan sticks as close to him as she can, holding onto his shoulder. She tilts her head at all the yelling.
* Zeal volleys an arrow for the demon, aimed to miss Rachael
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Stay here. 6He shifts Baby to the ground and he starts making a mad dash towards Zeal the Rachael and the demon
<DeathStar> 6* The demon is hit, and lets Rachael go. It frowns, and Rachael gasps, peering at Zeal. "Stop attacking Valen!!!" <Ice Demon> Rach---she hates us elves. She told you how we burnt her village. She wants to kill us
* Kaelan reaches down, she kneels and puts a hand on Baby, petting him. "You'll defend me, right Baby?"
<Zeal> Shut up, you abomination! Stop lying to her!
<DeathStar> <Baby> ... roar
<Kaelan> "I'll take that as a maybe on condition that I give you some food."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok pulls out the wood sword as he get's closer
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael turns to eye Dahok, her eyes widening, and she pulls out her own sword as he gets in, tensing.
<Zeal> Zeal! Back away from her!
<Zeal> NRP: Rachael!
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael digs her feet into the snow, and the ice demon looks amused at the proceedings; then Rachael pauses, swinging her sword at the demon
<DeathStar> 6* As the demon is hit, eyes widening as it cuts into her and blue blood dribbles out, Rachael shifts back from it and the ravine
<Zeal> Rachael...
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Y-You're not breathing. I didn't hear any breathing. 6* She notes
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok plants his foot and slides, his left hand thrusting forward to send a gale burst towards it once Rachael backs away
<DeathStar> 6* The ice demon swings a hand, countering with a blizzard blast. It hisses, then it vanishes as a snow whirls around it
<Zeal> It keeps getting away...
* Kaelan puts her hand to her chest, listening carefully to everything.
<Zeal> Damn it. We are being hunted.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok eyes it and he turns around, looking
<DeathStar> 6* As Zeal looks around, she'd notice off to the side of the ravine is a path into it, along the ice wall. Thomas and Jean catch up with their horse and Rachael's horse
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok starts moving back to baby and Jean
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Baby and Kaelan
<Zeal> Rachael. Take a look at that?
<Kaelan> "It must have weaknesses if it relies on deception to lure prey." *she pats Baby*
* Zeal gestures to where she sees the path. 1"...Think it could be?"
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael breathes deeply, then falls to her knees. "Vale...I wanted it to much to be him..." 6* She murmurs sadly, then pauses, looking at it. " ... Yes. It seems to lead into the ravine." 6* At that moment, the blizzard seems to grow rose
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts to pck Baby up. 1"Let's go Kaelan, the others are over there." 6He picks her up with one hand
<DeathStar> <Thomas> We need to make shelter.
<Zeal> That thing-- it is making it worse. If we can get rid of it...
<Zeal> If we do not-- it will keep hunting us.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> The ravine might be the safest place from the nsow.
* Kaelan takes the assistance and follows him. "Are the other horses alright? These are a little cumbersome."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> They appear so.
<Zeal> Either way it seems our best option then
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks her eyes, which are still red, but she can see it again. She hugs onto Rachael. <Rachael> Sorry for leaving you, Jean
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Sorry for causing your horse to take off. 6He rubs the back of his neck.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> It could have been that thing, for all we know, Dahok. 6* She gets to her feet, hugging Jean back, then eyes the path. She moves over, testing it with her sword. "It is real."
<Kaelan> "Help me get this stuff on the horses then."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok nods. 1"We lost my horse." 6He shifts to put the supplies off her and onto the horses evenly. 1"I'll lead incase something goes wrong.
* Zeal moves over to help them pack the supplies again and peers to Rachael. 1"...Do you know what it is?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> No. <Jean> Temptress demon. Tried to make out with me.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I'ld call it a demon. 6He says simply and he moves to the path, studying it for a moment
<DeathStar> 6* Jean's hair shifts a bit. "But Jean only make out with person who will be lover!" 6* She thumbs up
<Zeal> Uh... good lady Al'ryl.
* Kaelan smiles a bit. "Good work Jean."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok raises a hand in the air to thumb up Jean
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas takes the horse's reins and urges it along, his shoulder bandaged. Jean hugs onto Zeal after the lover comment
<Zeal> ...Lady Al'ryl?
<DeathStar> <Jean> Yes?
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well it looks safe. You all ready?
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael follows after Dahok, stepping along the path
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Yes. 6* He leads the horse along, and hands the reins of the other to Kaelan
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok moves along the path now
<Zeal> ... Nothing." 6she pats Jean's head
* Kaelan takes the reins and moves along with Thomas.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean smiles, then takes her hand to lead her along the path; as they go down, the blizzard winds stop hitting them, though it remains chilly, the cold isn't as bad
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Atleast it's already nicer down here then above
<Zeal> <Zeal> How is it... we keep encountering these demons..?
<DeathStar> 6* The ravine extends downward about 40 feet, then comes to what appears to be an end, stretching in both directions as far as they can see, with a cave visible.
<DeathStar> <Jean> ... maybe Jean bad luck... 6* She notes sadly, and peers down.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok points at the cave. 1"That might be where it's hiding.
<Zeal> Careful. It could also be a decoy.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Only one way to find out. 6He shifts to move that way, holding the wood sword out a bit
<Kaelan> "I have a feeling we're not the only ones they've preyed on. People never return home sometimes and everyone blames monster attacks, who's to say demons aren't sometimes at fault too?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> And it's not bad luck Jean, it's good luck. Because we can get rid of them and save others from such terrible fates
<Zeal> That... is an exceptionally noble way to look at it.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean smiles, happily. Rachael pauses
<Kaelan> "Yeah. Think of how many lives we probably saved stopping that other demon."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> This cave seems to lead northward. I wonder if there's a network under the ice - like back in the plains of Navarro
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> It's because I have relaxed outlook to life.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Hm. 6* He studies them all, particularly Dahok
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok glances at Rachael. 1"You think it could lead towards Nuege?
<Zeal> Some would merely say 'out of touch with reality.'
<Kaelan> "Ice doesn't always freeze solid... there could be."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> It might. It will take us weeks on the surface, I Think - the horses are already exhausted after only an hour. If these caves do go all the way, then we'd make better time.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Then let's enjoy what luck we have. 6He gives her a smile
<Kaelan> "We might meet other creatures with similar feelings too, we should be extra careful."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael nods, but doesn't smile back. She moves to follow DAhok into the ice cave, and Jean hurries along, peering at her reflection and gasping
<DeathStar> <Jean> That's what Jean looks like?
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas moves along with the horse
<Zeal> It is very little matter of freezing, Kael. Channels like this are oft formed by running water dissolving inward.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok glances at Jean. 1"Now you know how honored we are to have you with us. 6He winks at her and peers around inside
* Kaelan moves along with Thomas. "What do you mean Jean?"
<Zeal> We must be careful indeed-- a slight temperature increase and where do you think the water runs?
<Kaelan> "Under the ice first."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> So what you're saying is we'll have access to fresh water. Even better.
* Kaelan giggles.
<Kaelan> "I like that cheery attitude."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean smiles at Dahok, posing in the ice, and then makes Zeal look at herself, too
* Zeal shakes her head at the two-- since its a very serious matter. Then peers up.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> We should set up camp here for now while we have some light. Unless you have a bunch of glowstones.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> You want to set up camp already?
<Kaelan> "Is it getting dark?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I guess i'm just worried about being able to see when we set up camp. Since it'll be darker the further we go
<Zeal> We are... also right where a demon likely travels.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> We have only been traveling a little over an hour; we have at least 6 hours before dark. And light won't reach far into the caves no matter the time of day.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas reaches around into his sacks
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Right. 6He peers over at Thomas. 1"You have some glowstones?
<Kaelan> "A shame we don't have timber of some sort, we could make torches."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Yes. 6* He pulls out one and taps it.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> You...want to use torches..under ice...
* Zeal shrugs at Rachael.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> About how many you got?
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I have 5. They should really only be used one at a night, so we don't use them up. We can't predict how far these caves go, or if there is another way out
<DeathStar> *a time
<DeathStar> <Jean> I can make light when needed! 6* She notes cheerfully
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok nods. 1"Then let's shall." 6He looks at Jean and smiles. 1"That's right." 6He starts moving into the cave.
* Kaelan sighs a little and looks down.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael takes a breath, eyeing the cave walls, and looks unnerved at Thomas' words now; her breathes seems to have picked up as she follows Dahok. Thomas tosses him the stone to hold, which is warm to the touch
<Zeal> Just... keep your eyes and ears alert.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok watches it and rolls it in his hand a bit to keep it from getting to warm in one spot as he moves
<Kaelan> "I'll do that."
<DeathStar> 6* As they travel through the ice caves, they'd see it seems to have been made naturally, and varies in height and width as they move along. The glowstones reflects off the ice painfully, making it hard to look sometimes
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok pulls the cloth around his face down. 1"These walls are amazing."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael continues to look unnerved, while Jean keeps squinting, and holding her eyes, as if the light reflection is hurting her more than others
* Zeal twitches at reflection in which her chest is distorted-- even bigger.
<Kaelan> "Are they? They must look pretty in the light. I saw the glittering reflecting off an ice lake once..."
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas pauses as they reach what appears to be a branching point - left and right.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok pauses himself now and he peers down both ways.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Any preferences?
<Zeal> 6Zeal takes out her canteen and opens it, moving forward between them and spills a bit of water, watching it.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas blinks. "What are you doing, Lady Zeal?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I think she's looking to see which way goes down
* Kaelan gently pats the horse's snout while they deliberate.
<DeathStar> 6* The water seems to roll down the left path
<Zeal> <Zeal> We should head right.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> And if it takes us to the surface right away?
<Kaelan> "Then we know to turn back?"
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Can we be sure it's not another illusion, either. 6* He muses thoughtfully, more to himself, though others can hear him.
<Zeal> Would you rather it takes us deeper and perhaps into an aquafer?
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael takes a few breaths, eyeing the right path. "Yeah, I'd prefer to head up and get ot the surface too early, then never reaching it..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I prefer my way of choosing but...6He looks at Rachael. 1"If that's what you want, we can go that way."
<Kaelan> "I'd rather take the educated guess then flip a coin."
<Zeal> He is free to go where he chooses.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> How...would flipping a gold coin decide anything?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok glances at Zeal briefly then looks at Rachael. 1"Not sure."
<Zeal> Some peasantfolk scratch a side-- as a way of choosing by chance.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Oh. I hadn't...heard of that. 6* Talking seems to relax her
<Zeal> Of course it devalues the coin to those who value it.
<Kaelan> "It adds other values... though not as great as a plate of food... unless you're good with it and using it for betting."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Really? I haven't met a merchant who doens't like money.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> hmmm. Can you feel the demon at all Jean?
<Kaelan> "Most probably wouldn't care."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, closing her eyes. "Somewhere, but not sure."
<Zeal> Especially defaced coins are a sign of their care and lot in life. Most merchants will amass all they can get, yes, but an exceptionally shrewd merchant with connections may refuse to deal with one who has nothing but defaced money.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well let's head right then. 6He starts moving right.
<Zeal> It is a sign that they oft deal with the poor, and therefore might be less productive business.
<Kaelan> "Mmm... honestly I think otherwise."
<Zeal> And look at your caste.
* Zeal shrugs, not personally seeming to care, but not above pointing out the obvious.
<Kaelan> "A poor man spends a lot of gold over several years on bad boots, while the rich man spends a large sum once, but possibly less on a pair of very sturdy boots."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael moves to follow Dahok, and Thomas leads his horse after him. Jean looks back and forth, looking fascinated at the topic, but then scrambles after DAhok
<Kaelan> "In the end... the poor man spends more gold, yet has wetter feet."
<Zeal> Precisely. The merchants who sold to him sold less worthy goods to those whom they deemed less worthy.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Poor, rich all men are the same.
* Zeal raises an eyebrow at Kaelan.
<Zeal> Rachael... may I ask something..?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Yes? 6* She asks, not peering back, but keeping her eyes forward
<Zeal> Does your... do where you come from-- do they even have coins?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok pauses to slowly look at Zeal. 1"What kind of question is that?"
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael blinks, peering back. "We have gold for when we need supplies that we can't get in the village."
<Zeal> Hm. I see.
* Zeal eyes Dahok. 1"Do you have a problem with curiousity? You have more than I."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> But we share everything in the village, so we don't have stores.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> That just seems like a really...strange question to ask. 6He shrugs and looks ahead as he walks
<Zeal> Hrmph.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> IT's a shame more places can't be like Rachael's village.
* Zeal crosses her arms, peering to the side. 1"... I ...believe I recall... I do not think we had currency in the Oas."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> It makes everything go round.
* X1 has joined #taw
<Kaelan> "I don't recall myself... I was too young to think about it."
<DeathStar> 6* After traveling for many hours, and the ice caves continuing on for what seems forever, the horses finally stop moving, looking too tired. Rachael breathes heavily, looking like she wants out of there
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers back to look at the horses then Rachael. 1"I think we should take a break, here."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> M-Must we? W have to be ... .almost to the surface, right? 6* Thomas pauses, tilting his head, then looks ahead at another two cave path; the sound of water can be heard on the right path
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts to rest an arm on her shoulder, rubbing/squeezing it slightly. 1"It'll be fine, Rachael."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers at Dahok, nodding and relaxing a bit.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok looks at Thomas. 1"You hear something?
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I think an underwater stream. At least we'll have a water supply here.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Think we should set up near it?
<DeathStar> <Thomas> We could set up here between the two tunnels, I suppose. So we're above the water and can still reach it
<Kaelan> "Should we post some sort of watch?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Alright. If anyone walks off to do anything, we should stay in pairs.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean moves to get a tent off the horse and sets it up
* Kaelan pats the horse. "Dahok, want me to help set up your tent?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers at Jean, smiling a bit. He sets Bear down.
* Zeal blinks watching Jean, then goes to see if she does it properly.
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar sits and roars for food
<Zeal> Baby, mind your manners.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Let us get set up first, Baby. 6He pats his head and moves to unload his stuff. 1"If there's a steam, there might be some fish in it."
<DeathStar> 6* It eyes her, poutily, while Jean sets up the tent perfectly, doing it in the exact manner Zeal does it, almost perfectly matching her movements
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar roars victoriously
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas gets a tent out to set it up, while Rachael goes through the uspply packs of food to see what she can safely make
<Zeal> If... it is an actual stream and not merely a runoff like what probably created these caverns-- it would be exceptionally fortunate.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I planned on trying anyways. 6He starts setting up his tent.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Jean, ya wanna learn how to fish later?
<DeathStar> <Jean> Yes!
<Kaelan> "Hmm..." *she slowly moves about* "Rachael?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Yes, Kaelan?
<Zeal> Very good, lady Al'ryl. Exceptional." 6She pats Jean's head-- like Soma. Then goes to feed the ladder.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Awesome. I'll show you the secrets to catching a big fish.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean smiles.
<Kaelan> "Anything I can help with? Cooking?" *she makes her way towards her*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> It would be best to wait until we're out of the cave for more lessons. I'm preparing something with jerky that doesn't involve cooking it
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok finishes setting up his tent and he moves to pull out a small piece of meat and tosses it to Baby
<DeathStar> 6* Soma looks up from biting at Zeal's breasts, having gotten hungry earlier and thinking her nipples might provide milk
<Kaelan> "Oh... okay." *she moves about to find a seat*
<DeathStar> 6* Baby grabs it and chews on it fiecerely
* Zeal glances around at the others, then starts to move away from the camp, just slightly down the tunnel they came.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok eyes Zeal. 1"I said nobody moves off alone. Or have you forgotten how badly it ends when you do that?
* Zeal slowly peers at Dahok, looks darkly, and walks off.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas eyes Zeal, then sighs
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok looks at Thomas. 1"Could you go after her? Lest that demon takes advantage of this."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Yes. 6* He follows after Zeal
* Zeal is a whopping ten feet around the corner, kneeling with her things, fiddling out of sight.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas leans against the ice walls and watches her
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Thanks. 6He nods to him and looks over at Rachael. 1"How long do you think before you'll have food ready? 6He pulls out his rod and starts to piece it together.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Soon. It's mainly jerky
<Kaelan> "So what are you doing with it?" *she sounds curious*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Adding some flavors to it
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok begins shifting through the supplies as he looks for things to use for bait
* Kaelan leans in a little. "Like what?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I'm experimenting, really.
<DeathStar> 6* She peers up for a moment, thoughtfully, then back down, thinking she heard something briefly
<DeathStar> -END-
Session Close: Tue Mar 02 22:24:51 2010

<Chad`Winters> <Daho> So you ever fish before, Jean?
* DeathStar is now known as DS[DownForNow]
<Zeal> 6Zeal finishes laying out scattered caltrops made from busted arrowheads and sewing needles, moving back through the camp and heads left to where they have yet to travel.
* DS[DownForNow] is now known as DeathStar
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas follows, while Jean shakes her head
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well I guess I get the honor of teaching you something new then.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan sits near Rachael, "Are you okay?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods, thumbing up.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Yes.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok grabs some piece of meat and shifts them into his pocket and he moves over to sit down by Rachael and the others.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan nods a little, she tilts her head as someone sits down near her.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael hands out the flavored jerky
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok takes a bite
<Kaelan> * Kaelan takes a bite of hers as well.
<DeathStar> 6* It's jerky, with some spicy flavoring, pepper, and a tang
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Different taste to it. 6He tosses a big chunk into his mouth then whistles at Baby and tosses him the left over piece
<DeathStar> 6* Baby eats on it, then roars at the spice, like a man
<Kogitsune> 6Zeal finally returns to the camp.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas returns a moment later and sits
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You two should try some of this jerky. It's got a bite to it
* Kaelan giggles, "Baby seems rather taken with it."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Oh? 6* He takes a piece and bites it, blinking
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Told ya.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I-- could use some water.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok gets up and moves to his stuff then throws him one of his ale bags.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas takes it, blinking. "Is this--ale?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I think it's water.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas nods, opening it and takes a drink
<Chad`Winters> 6It's strong ale
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas jerks, and begins to cough hard
<Kaelan> "Sir Thomas? Are you okay?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> ...Guess that was the ale. 6He holds his hand out
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas, red faced, hands it back
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok takes a pull then seals the cap and tosses it back with his stuff
<Kaelan> "I like the spicey stuff, especially around parts like these... makes you feel warmer."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Don't drink?
<DeathStar> <Thomas> No. I don't. 6* He still coughs
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I wouldn't mind a little ale.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok looks at Rachael and he grabs the bag and brings it over to her, holding it out. 1"That a templar thing?"
<Kaelan> "Nor would I... haven't had a good drink in a while."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael takes it, and opens it up, taking tiny, dainty sips
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Not many in the church drink if they're not Knights on the field.
<Kogitsune> Apparently sir Fyro doesn't pay much attention...
<DeathStar> <Thomas> And typically only a few Knights engage in it
<Kogitsune> <Zeal> I have drank wine-- nor is sir Thomas a templar..
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers between the two. 1"You're missing out then.
<Kaelan> "Templar seems to get thrown around as a word for any agent of the church... it has a more specific meaning though, right?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Drinking ale was a normal thing where I'm from. We'd tell our fish tales over a hearty ale and what not.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas takes another bite of the jerky, using the water
<Kogitsune> <Zeal> Templars are specifically church knights.
<Kaelan> "Soldiers seemed to enjoy it well enough too. I found I could out drink some boys." *she rubs the back of her head a little* "Is it... bad to drink?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Not if you ask me.
<Kogitsune> <Zeal> Sir Thomas is... not really clergy either, right? He is more of a scholar.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> That's correct.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael continues her dainty sips
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok plops down beside Rachael, his fishing pole in his hands. He begins to mess around with it as he get's it ready
<DeathStar> 6* Jean takes a bite of jerky, then peers at Dahok's ale, getting one and sipping it

Session Ident: #TAW-Medieval
<Kaelan> * Kaelan leans over and gently feels at whoever's close by to her.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You feeling more comfortable, Rachael?
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar eyes Kaelan
<DeathStar> <Rachael> .... hm?
* Kaelan starts to pet Baby, moving closer to him. She feeds him some of her jerky.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You seemed a bit...off when we first came in here
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael pauses, and makes a face, her breathing increasing a bit at being reminded and she eyes the walls of the cave; a moment later she guzzles the lae
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok goes all O_O at that.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael, after several big drinks, relaxes again, looking buzzed already
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok slowly reaches to take it back.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I just...don't like enclosed spaces that much. I was buried under a lot of stuff once, and ever since then I hate the idea of being buried alive
<DeathStar> <Rachael> The thought we might be so deep underground..
* Kaelan hugs Baby, lounging a little with him. "And how are you Baby?"
<DeathStar> <Bearoar> Roar
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok nods. 1"Makes sense. When we slept in that makeshift cave, I was kind of uncomortabl
<Chad`Winters> NRP: uncomfortable
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael shifts to take another swallow. "I didn't notice it." 6* Her shoulders relax
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well all you have to know is that we'll be there for you. 6He flashes her a smile and looks at Thomas. 1"So tell me something about yourself
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Me? Like what?
* Kaelan pets him and smiles, she listens to the others as she cuddles the bearoar.
<DeathStar> <Bearoar> Roooar
<Kaelan> * Kaelan feeds him her last bit of jerky after she takes a bite.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Where'd you grow up?
<DeathStar> <Thomas> In the church
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Your entire time?
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Yes. As a scholar, I wasn't allowed out except for training
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Training? What was that like?
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I really cannot discuss it. I'm sorry.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Oh, must be pretty tough to be a scholar then.
<Kaelan> "Where were you raised, region wise?"
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Yes. It is. To leave the church, is unthinkable.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Me? Navarro.
<Kaelan> "I see..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> What was the neatest place you've seen?
<DeathStar> <Thomas> This place.
* Kaelan pouts a little, hugging Baby a bit more. She tries to hide the look on her face.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Hmmm...6He leans back a bit to look at the cieling. 1"I'd have to say that's about right so far.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I never thought to see a cave made of ice; the reflections are quite beautiful
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar bites on her hair
* Kaelan eeps a bit. "H-Hey, Baby!"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers at the ice then at the floor, smiling at himself. 1"It is nice to see so many of myself."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean shifts in front of Dahok, taking up most of his reflections
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok blinks and peers at Jean, then let's out a low whistle.
<Kaelan> "Mmm?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, then mimics the whistle
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar keeps nomming hair as long as Kaelan hides her face in his furt
* Kaelan slowly pulls herself up, "Surely my hair isn't that tastey, Baby." *she works to fix it*
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar roars
<DeathStar> 6* Jean keeps whistling, looking fascinated by it.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Impressive.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Dahok amazing! What else can I learn?
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Aww thanks Jean! 6He rubs the back of his head, a proud look on his face
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael hics and giggles
* Kaelan tries to whistle too, she frowns as she fails, making only a halfway sound, she tries again.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, then moves over and uses her fingers to position Kaelan's lips
* Kaelan tries again, emitting a whistling sound, she smiles. "So that's how!"
<Kogitsune> 6Zeal eyes Rachael, gesturing to her to come to her, patting her lap
* Chad`Winters glances at Zeal trying to get Rachael to sit on her lap. He slowly eyes Rachael
<Chad`Winters> NRP: dahok
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well in a bit I can teach you how to fish, Jean.
<DeathStar> 6* RAchael blinks, then drunkenly moves over and plops down next to Zeal
<DeathStar> <Jean> Okay! Can animals whistle?
<DeathStar> Er "make that noise"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I'm not sure. I've never seen one yet
<Kaelan> "I dunno."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers at Baby, then positions his lips, making the bearoar paw
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Come on Baby, give it a whirl
<Kogitsune> <Zeal> If you would like, you may rest, lady Rachael.
<DeathStar> <Bearoar> Roooooarrrrr.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> We've got the tents set up if she wants to sleep in a place.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael blinks, sways, and lays across Zeal's lap like a drunk
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas tentatively tries more jerky
<Kaelan> "I could accompany her if she needs it. It's not like I'll be very effective at keeping a lookout."
<Kogitsune> 6Zeal pats Rachael's head gently.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Hearing sometimes is more important than seeing, Kaelan
<Kaelan> "I... I suppose it can be."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok finishes gettting his rod ready and he grins at it. 1"You look lovely as usual my trust ol' girl."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean eyes the rod. "It's female."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Yes it is. 6He shifts to stand up now.
<DeathStar> <Jean> ... 6* She blinks. "Is it Dahok's lover?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok laughs at that. 1"Nah. It's not like that."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Oh. 6* She peers at the rod curiously
<Chad`Winters> 6It seems to be in rather good shape but it's definetly been used for awhile now
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts to stand up now. 1"Well I'm gonna go see if there's any fish in that water. Care to join me then Jean?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Yes! Catch fish and eat them to respect them
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas stares at that
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok nods. 1"Watch over the girls, Thomas." 6He starts moving towards the sound of the water.
<Kaelan> "Well... it would be less respectful to kill a fish and let it waste I guess."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean follows
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok walks along the path. 1"I wonder what kind of fish they have up here."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Tasty fish?
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Some aren't always tasty. 6He notes as he stops near the water. He looks it over
<DeathStar> <Jean> Then why eat non tasty ones?
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Only one way to find out what they taste like.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Oh.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts his hand into his pocket and pulls out a small piece of meat and he puts it on his hook. 1"First rule of fishing is patience.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean eyes the water thoughtfully, nodding
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael makes noises in her drunken sleep
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Sometimes you won't catch anything while other times you'll barely get your line in the water before a fish bites. 6He casts the line out and plops down.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean holds her beath to see if the latter will be the case. It's not
<Kogitsune> 6Zeal peers down at Rachael, looking troubled. She brushes the hair behind one of her ears and starts stroking her head-- and it
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael quiets down and relaxes
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok reaches upto his head as if to adjust something and he pauses. 1"I need to pick up a straw hat again.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Hat?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok describes it to her
<DeathStar> <Jean> Oh. 6* She says a strange word, thoughtfully.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You'll want one if we ever head to the Island Nations
<DeathStar> <Jean> Will Dahok get Jean a hat?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok seems to relax a bit as he sits there, waiting for a nibble. 1"Of course I will. You'll look good in one."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean beams at the compliment, sitting by Dahok and waiting
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> So how are things going with you so far?
<DeathStar> <JEan> Going? Going good! Dahok going okay?
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Oh just more on edge lately I guess.
<DeathStar> <Jean> On edge?
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Hmmm...I guess I'm just used to living a relaxed carefree life. This whole thing is just different
<DeathStar> <Jean> Does Dahok wish he weren't here?
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> It's not that. I'm just not used to having to tell people what to do.
<DeathStar> <JEan> Oh. Could ask people to do
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I've tried but...6He waves his hand dismissively then pulls up his line to jig it. 1"Well we're here now so all we can do is go with the flow."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Hm. Jean could order people like Valen did! Just wouldn't know what to ask them to do
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I'm sure they would if you asked them.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean would ask that everyone have a group hug and be nice to each other!
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Can't force people to do things they don't like.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Oh... 6* She looks sad.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean feel strongest whenever nice to each other
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I try to be as nice as possible.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean just wish Zeal and Dahok got along better. Jean know Dahok try, but can tell he unhappy sometimes and says things back to Zeal.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I don't think she cares for me at all, but oh well.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean will talk to Zeal! 6* She nods, determinedly.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> It's fine Jean. 6He waves his head dismissively, a relaxed look on his face as he stares at the tip of his rod
<DeathStar> 6* Soma hops off onto Rachael's head, playing with her ears
<DeathStar> <Jean> Oh. Okay.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Here. 6He holds the rod out to Jean.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean takes Dahok's rod carefully, peering at it in awe. "It's big."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> It allows me flex so when you get a bite the rod doesn't snap in two.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods, holding it and peering at the water, waiting for a fish
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Now you'll want a firm but relaxed grip on it. If a fish bites and you're not ready it'll pull the rod from your hand. You'll know if you have a nibble or a bite as the tip will bounce a bit.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Okay! 6* She peers at it more eagerly.

<Tabetha> * Kaelan sits feeling gently over a band of leather, she stretches it out as she moves her leg and after a bit of work, gets one end of the strange band of leather under her boot heel. She pauses and then feels about blindly in her bag for other supplies.
* Chad-Woooork is now known as Chad`Winters
<DeathStar> 6* Soma waddles about Kaelan and bites her bag, pulling it out of her reach
<Tabetha> * Kaelan tilts her head and starts feeling around more, leaning forward. "Who's doing that..."
<DeathStar> 6* Soma drags it out toward Zeal's spot, since she was up early, too, unlike Rachael
<Kit> <Zeal> Soma... what are you doing?
<Tabetha> * Kaelan crawls along looking for it.
<DeathStar> 6* Soma mewroars at Zeal and pulls it onto her lap and sits
<Tabetha> * Kaelan crawls up to Zeal, finding it. She grabs at her bag and moves her head about. "Hello...?"
<Kit> 6Zeal tilts her head at Soma. 1"What in the world do you think you are doing?" 6She eyes him sternly. 1"It is impollite to steal."
<DeathStar> 6* Soma moves so Kaelan only feels Zeal
<Tabetha> * Kaelan blinks, "But it's my bag... Zeal..."
<Kit> <Zeal> What?
<Tabetha> Kaelan> "I didn't steal it, it's mine... why would you think that?"
<DeathStar> 6* Soma seems to snicker from his spot
<Tabetha> * Kaelan sits up, hands on Zeal's melons for leverage.
* Kit is now known as Kit[Away]
<Kit[Away]> <Zeal> I was talking to Soma... get... your hands... off my breasts...
<Kit[Away]> 6Zeal eyes her knife, twitching.
<Tabetha> * Kaelan slowly witchdraws her hands. "...Umm... okay."

<Tabetha> * Kaelan bows her head. "Are they... sensitive?'
<Kit> <Zeal> What business of that is yours!?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "You just seem bothered by having them touched."
<DeathStar> <Soma> Mew.
<Kit> <Zeal> They are mine! Why must everyone accost them!
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Accost them...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Soma paws at them, wanting to be picked up and placed in them
<Seraphna> * Kaelan picks up Soma and opens her top a bit to see if Soma likes it in her breasts.
<DeathStar> 6* Soma inspects them
<Kit> <Zeal> Do you see me running around groping Rachael?!
<Kit> 6Zeal pauses, then jerks, eyeing Kaelan. 1"...Er, I apologise. That was insensitive of me."
<Seraphna> * Kaelan settles Soma into her cleavage, while not as mighty as Zeal's, is still soft and deep enough. "It's alright."
<Kit> <Zeal> It is not. Such careless words have begun wars.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Not with me..."
<DeathStar> 6* Soma noms for food
<DeathStar> 6* Soma keeps nomming already her breasts for milk
<Seraphna> * Kaelan blushes slightly and slips a piece of jerky into her cleavage.
<DeathStar> 6* Soma accepts it
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I understand being shy and closed with men, considering all things... but why are you so shy of other women?"
<Kit> <Zeal> It is not a matter of men or women, it is a matter of decency. I have bathed with Rachael and yourself if you have forgotten.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Yes, you have... that's why I'm confused. It's nothing we haven't seen before. And your chest is clothed... so what's wrong with touching it?"
<Kit> 6Zeal breathes through her teeth.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan tilts her head slowly. "Can't you just explain it to me...? I'm not challenging you... I want to know."
* Chad-Bowling is now known as Chad-Unwinding
<DeathStar> 6* Soma licks up the remains of the jerky, poking his head further down to get some that slipped and gets stuck comically
<Kit> <Zeal> It is difficult to explain what one considers common sense.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "...I... I guess I don't have much... heh..." *she looks down, petting Soma*
<Kit> <Zeal> It is not your fault. You were not raised with such attributes in mind.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Knights have so many rules..."
<Kit> <Zeal> That has little to do with the templars-- It is being a dignitary.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Explain some more?"
<Kit> <Zeal> The difference between nobility and ordinary is more than simply birthright, Kael.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean walks by them naked, sleep walking it seems, her hair all ruffled. She stumbles about toward the stream
<Kit> 6Zeal follows her with her eyes, gaping. 1"...L-Lady Al'ryl!
<DeathStar> 6* The sleep walking angel, with the face of an angel as she sleeps, moves on
<Seraphna> * Kaelan gets up, following the sound of Zeal's exclaimations.
<Kit> 6Zeal hadn't moved yet-- so ... it's not real hard. Though she gets up now to trot after Jean
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "What's wrong?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean stops at the river and leans over like she's about to go swimming
<Kit> <Zeal> Lady Al'ryl!" 6She shrieks.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers at Zeal now, mumbling something in another language. It sounds like a question, perhaps What?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Shouldn't you stop her?"
<Kit> <Zeal> What do you think you are doing..?! Get away from the water!
<DeathStar> <Jean> Ba-th.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean stumbles toward Zeal and Kaelan obediently, though
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "That would be a bath you never come back from Jean, you can't swim in water that cold."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks serious. "Clean important." 6* The way she talks it's clear she's not really awake
<Kit> 6Zeal moves to take ahold of her, shaking her slightly.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks a bit, then yawns. "Zeal?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "We can get clean after we get out of the caves, we'll make a fire and boil up some snow until we have warm fresh water for all of us."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks ta them sleepiy. "Why in Jean's tent?"
<Kit> <Zeal> We are not in lady Al'ryl's tent is why.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "You were walking in your sleep I suppose, this isn't your tent... at least... I don't think..."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Oh..."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers around, then giggles. "Oh. I'm cold!" 6* She snuggles against Kaelan and Zeal for warmth
<Kit> <Zeal> ...You were... walking asleep..
<DeathStar> <Jean> Walking asleep?
<Kit> <Zeal> How else did you move unaware?
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks, apparantly not remembering it. She then peers down, and eeps. "My clothes are gone!" 6* She moves for her tent
<Seraphna> * Kaelan giggles. "Well... you accomplished teaching her modesty."
<Kit> <Zeal> ...One would wonder.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean can be heard getting dressed, poking her head out. "Jean sorry for showing naked body to Zeal!" 6* She adds, then pokes back in
<Kit> <Zeal> Thought as much
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Oh... she's just afraid to show it to you now. Huh."

<Kit> 6Zeal returns to the center of camp and sits, sighing.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan moves with her, she sits up close to her, snuggling into her side with Soma in her breasts.
<DeathStar> 6* JEan returns adn throws herself across Zeal's lap to hug onto her. She beams happily. "I had a nice dream about Zeal!"
<Kit> <Zeal> You two are like children..." 6She murmurs, then peers at Jean.
<DeathStar> <Jean> You were petting my ears and feeding me fruit
<Kit> <Zeal> ...Your ears?
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods happily
<Kit> <Zeal> Why your ears..?
<DeathStar> <JEan> Jean don't know. 6* She admits
<Kit> <Zeal> The fruit makes sense...
<DeathStar> <Jean> Does Zeal have any? 6* She asks innocently, trying to act cute
<Kit> <Zeal> ..." 6She crosses her arms, looking down on her.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, and puts a finger to her lips and tries to bat her eyes at Zeal. "Please?"
<Kit> 6Zeal deadpans. 1"..." 6Then slowly fishes in her satchel. 1"If you are good." 6She hrmphs, holding out a dried fruit.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean takes it, happily. "Thank you!" 6* She begins to nibble on it
<Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles softly and cuddles Zeal still. "You're warm..."
<Kit> <Zeal> Yes. I am alive." 6She notes, then looks to Jean. 1"...Do you like it?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "No like... really warm. Warmer then Dahok at least." *she rests her head on Zeal's shoulder*
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods, pausing and she offers some to Soma, smiling
<Kit> <Zeal> He has not exactly prepared himself for the cold..
<Kit> <Zeal> It is a dried [fig], lady Al'ryl.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Can I have more if I'm good?
<DeathStar> 6* Soma turns his nose up
<Kit> <Zeal> I suppose." 6She sniffs.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean hugs Zeal more, then reaches and offers Zeal a berry she saved
<Kit> 6Zeal blinks, then innocently nibbles at it.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Zeal pretty when she sleeps. Jean woke up and saw Zeal's face.
<Kit> 6Zeal jerks, slowly eyeing Jean
<DeathStar> 6* Jean mimics an angelic expression
<Kit> <Zeal> I-- th-that is not me." 6She reddens
<DeathStar> <Jean> I'm not lie!
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "You are pretty when you sleep Zeal..."
<Kit> <Zeal> ... ..." 6She huffs, crossing her arms.
<DeathStar> <JEan> Pretty rose!
