<DeathStar> Date: 4.20.2389 - Night
<DeathStar> Location: The Castle
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael stands there in the lobby area of the rooms, while Jean sits holding a girl who looks 18, but seems thinner and waifer than her age. Jean's right eye is bruised and puffy as if someone punched her hard.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> And that's when I found Jean in an inn with Kaelan. 6* She finishes.
* Kaelan lets out a breath, nodding. "Yeah..."
<Zeal> 6Zeal stares. 1"Y-You were all robbed...?"
<Kaelan> "She gave most of it back."
* Zeal reels. 1"And you... brought her here..? Have you lost your minds?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> She likes me!
<Zeal> <Girl> Yup!
<Kaelan> "She's not that bad Zeal."
* Kaelan rubs the back of her head. "The reason I was with Jean though... we need to address that now."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> She also liked to hold onto my junk. 6He notes as he sits there. 1"Not that I'm complaining
<Zeal> <Zeal> Before you leave without us again.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael quietly is off to the side, having set the bundles of supplies she bought down; her ears are covered as usual.
* Kaelan lets that one go by her. "Our fighting, our differences, it's been affecting Jean in a negative way. It's why we've been seeing more and more of her other side."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers down guiltily now, as if it were her fault
* Kaelan leans over and gives her a hug. "It's not Jean's fault, not the Angel's, it's our faults."
<Kaelan> "As a group, we've been wasting a lot of energy on fighting between us. Valen was spot on when he told us we need to start thinking of each other as friends."
<Zeal> I recall this lecture.
<Kaelan> "Yes, and I'm as at fault as anyone."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers into his mug then shifts back to rest more in his chair.
<Kaelan> "I've been dwelling on things I've done and problems I've caused, making Jean feel like it's her fault or her problem."
* Zeal crosses her arms, peering at the girl Jean is holding.
<Kaelan> "We all have our faults, and we all deep down know them, so I'm not going to point fingers. I'm just going to ask that we all remember that we're in this together."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I don't think we can simply change because you say we need to do so, Kaelan. If we could, it would have happened after Valen said something.
<Kaelan> "I know... and it can't happen overnight even if we do. I just... I'm just asking that we try and make the effort a little more."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok sits there, listening
<DeathStar> <Rachael> And no one is even commenting to what you have to say. 6* She notes.,
* Kaelan sits back a little. "That's... not necessarily a bad thing, it's better then deflecting it."
<Zeal> I am still alarmed by bringing a thief into a palace.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> No one ever says anything when you say something. 6* She shakes her head.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> It's because I agree with her.
<Zeal> 6The girl makes a face, then pulls down an eyelid at Zeal-- still having vacant expression with her eyes despite her animation
* Zeal jerks, frowning more.
* Kaelan looks over at Rachael. "What do you want to do?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I don't know. The Prince has asked that I stay and help him in the war with Navarro. To see if we can get the elves to help if they wish, or if not, help them get back to the elven forest so they don't get caught up in the fighting that's to come.
<Zeal> <Girl> Doubt that'll work~
<DeathStar> 6* Jean quietly peers up, then down
* Kaelan hugs jean reassuringly, she looks at her.
<Kaelan> "Jean?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well we could use you and your skills with us, but if you think you'ld be better helping the elves here, I can respect that.
<Zeal> 6The girl hurks and flails as she's squeezed along with Jean
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael simply nods, then turns and moves for her room. "Anyway, tomorrow the Prince will become the King. Afterwards, he'll probably give you all what you need."
<Zeal> <Girl> Are you really going to try anyway..? Elves are scaredy-goars.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean is quiet, idlely peering down
<DeathStar> <Rachael> There's quite a few half-elves amongst them, too. 6* She notes
* Kaelan hugs her a bit more. "Jean?"
<Zeal> 6She laughs, eyeing Rachael emptily. 1"These ones have been 'round humans a lot... think they'll let them back in after being around them and a bunch of halflings?'
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I don't know. I don't know anything about the world. 6* She notes, her tone just as empty as she closes her door
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers up, blinking. "Yes?"
* Zeal turns away, looking overcast.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok glances at the girl and he peers up a bit, looking at the Jean/Kaelan.
<Kaelan> "I know this sounds strange, but I want you to try and keep happy alright? We're not fighting out of hate for each other, we're trying to sort ourselves out."
<DeathStar> <Jean> ... 6* She peers to the side at that one
* Kaelan kisses her cheek. "We'll fix this up, I promised didn't I?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> If Rachael not join, then not fixed. 6* She notes simply
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I could try to talk to her if you'd like.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Probably not good idea. 6* She notes
* Kaelan looks over at Dahok.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Yeah, probably not.
* Kaelan looks over at Zeal.
<Kaelan> "Zeal? Do you want Rachael to stay with us?"
<Zeal> Of course I do..
<Kaelan> "Can you talk to her?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Rachael not like Dahok's words; Rachael not respect Kaelan; Rachael not like Zeal's words with Dahok
<Zeal> I-- I was planning on it whether you ask or not..!
<Zeal> <Girl> Maybe I should talk to her then!
<Kaelan> "Heh... you might be the best bet at this point, unless Zeal wants to work out her problems with Dahok."
<Zeal> What good would you do! Mugging her helps nothing!
<Zeal> <Girl> Behhh!
<Kaelan> "Zeal, this girl is a lot more then a pickpocket. Give her a chance."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers at the girl then at Zeal, then looks at Dahok. "Maybe Zeal be nicer to Dahok now that Pad is here to be talked to."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok rubs the back of his neck. 1"What she wants to do is a good thing, to tell her to turn her back on that is just wrong. I'd love for her to come with, she's smart, knows things."
* Kaelan giggles. "Just maybe."
<Zeal> Wh-What..!? What does that have to do with anything?
* Kaelan thinks a bit. "Jean... are things fixed if she stays for her own reasons, but not because she doesn't like us? Dahok is right, if she wants to stay it'd be wrong to force her... she's suffered so much already."
<Zeal> <Girl> Maybe she's just doing it thinking it would do more good than waiting around for you to tear one another apart!
* Zeal puts a hand to her face, scowling.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods at what the girl said
<Zeal> <Girl> Moody angel same way.
<Kaelan> "Good point."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Pad right. But maybe for best. Being with Jean is bad for people.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Makes sense. 6He stands up, stretching. 1"That's not true Jean."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Rachael can stay here with Prince and be pampered while helping people.
* Kaelan looks at Jean. "Don't say that..."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Heard word pampered from maid. 6* She nods sagely
<Zeal> <Girl> Why not? It's true. Not angel's fault, but true!
<DeathStar> <Jean> Pad right. 6* She nods.
<Kaelan> "it might be the best for Rachael, but we don't blame you for our mistakes and failures."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean said bad for people. Nothing about mistakes and failures.
* Kaelan considers this.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I don't think you're bad for me. I've seen more things in the last weeks then I have in my whole life.
<Kaelan> "Maybe Dahok and I are just silly, but we don't think you're bad for us. That's all."
<Zeal> <Girl> Truuue.
<Zeal> 6The girl grins at Dahok. 1"But that's what makes you relatively normal unlike muscle girl!"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Dahok and Kaelan are silly. 6* She nods
<Zeal> 6She holds up a hand as if that blocks all sound to Kaelan. 1"She's always been a little off."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I just have a laid back approach to life.
* Kaelan smiles a bit. "I'm okay with being weird."
* Kaelan looks between Zeal and Dahok. "Can we try and work things out before we proceed? For the good of everyone."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers back and forth with her good eye
<Zeal> <Zeal> What is there to work out? The fault lies in my obstinancy." 6She mumbles, peering at Rachael's door.
<DeathStar> <Jean> What's that?
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Of course.
<Kaelan> "No, you have a valid point in being worried about how Dahok handles things, you prefer to be careful and consider actions, while Dahok plays it by ear, it's very simple to see where you have a difference that causes you to clash."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I usually ask everyone's opinions before deciding on things.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Unless we don't really have time to do that
<Zeal> <Zeal> Tch." 6She shifts, heading into her room.
<Kaelan> "And Zeal just tries to do what she feels is best for everyone. She's just worried you take unnessecary risks."
<Kaelan> "Zeal...?"
* Kaelan looks over at her.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I've always gone with what agrees on unless I don't get that.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: what everyone
<Kaelan> "Well... not always."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well unless I'm not given the time.
<Kaelan> "At dinner the other night, you did tell everyone that they could either go along with Rachael's wishes or leave."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Unless you're talking about back in the ice thing and that was a personal thing to watch our friends back.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Had you all decided to move on, I would've accepted it and caught up with you later, well hopefully
<Kaelan> "But you didn't make that clear."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Oh that? Because nobody could decide anything. I was getting annoyed.
<Kaelan> "So you're saying you didn't mean it?"
<Zeal> <Girl> Psst. Inconsistent. True man!" 6She whispers to Jean
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Nobody could come up with a better plan at the time and Rachael was dead set on doing it. I didn't like it, but I couldn't come up with something to change her mind.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Men are incompetant? 6* She asks, mishearing
<Zeal> <Girl> Usually!
<Zeal> 6Girl grins smugly. 1"Behind every great man is a woman pushing the scene along."
<Kaelan> "Maybe, in the future you should..." *she thinks* "Just say how you feel, and if you don't agree, choose to abstain."
<Zeal> <Girl> Or a talented girl robbing him blind.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean know how to fix group!
* Kaelan blinks and looks at Jean, "I'm all ears."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Obey Jean!
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I've noticed with our group that everyone has their own opinions on how to do things and sometimes it's easier to be the villian and just make the decision for everyone and deal with the consequences
<Kaelan> "...That may be the best idea actually."
<Kaelan> "We are following you... are you okay with leading?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods. "First, Jean orders...get Zeal and Rachael out for group hug!"
<Zeal> 6The girl starts snickering
* Kaelan looks to Dahok. "...She's got a plan, this one."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Jean's leading? Perfect. 6He let's out a sigh of relief and he moves towards Rachaels room
<Zeal> <Girl> Are we going to the ruins!?
<DeathStar> <Jean> Yep!
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean like being leader.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok reaches over and knocks on the door. 1"Rachael."
<Kaelan> "That's the plan."
<DeathStar> 6* There's a pause, and the door opens; Rachael peers out in her tribal outfit
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Sorry to bother ya, but Jean's got something to say. 6He shifts back, giving her a soft smile
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael pauses, then peers at Jean, who nods sagely. She steps over, as if waiting, but Jean motions at Dahok to get Zeal
* Kaelan gets up and moves over to knock on Zeal's door.
* Kaelan pauses when Jean motions.
<Zeal> 6The girl Jean's holding spreads her arms to Rachael.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok moves over to Zeal's room and knocks on it. 1"Zeal."
<Zeal> <Zeal> Go away!
<DeathStar> <Jean> ZEAL GET OUT HERE RIGHT NOW.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Jean's got something to say. 6He notes and moves back to the others, resting his hands behind his back
* Kaelan goes wide eyed and looks at Jean.
<Chad`Winters> 6neck
<Kaelan> "Wow!"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean then clears her throat and looks completely happy again. Rachael jerks
* Kaelan looks impressed.
<Zeal> 6The girl whimpers. 1"LoooUUUuud..."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean hugs the girl and pets her head. "Can eat delicious fruit later as apology."
* Zeal opens her door, deadpanned. 1"It is improper to shout across a palace, lady Al'ryl."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean eyes Zeal, deadpanning. "It is improper to act like a child when your door is knocked on. Now get over here right now, Lady Silas."
<DeathStar> 6* Her tone is pitch perfect imatation of Zeal's scolding ne
* Kaelan stares a little now.
* Zeal makes a face, looking confused as she walks over.
<Zeal> <Girl> Silas. Hee.
<Kaelan> "Jean... I will follow you to the ends of Tareh and back again."
* Zeal eyes the girl, frowning.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok moves over to the others
<DeathStar> 6* Jean eyes Zeal, then Rachael, then Zeal. "Jean leading team now. Will listen to Jean, or no longer part of team. First rule, you will quit saying mean words to describe Dahok! Second rule, group hug."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Wait, what? Jean? She can't lead the group. 6* She looks up
<Zeal> <Zeal> ... So it is me at fault." 6She twitches.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Nope! Everyone at fault!
<Kaelan> "Why not? So far her choices seem top notch. We're all following her anyway, aren't we?" *it's hard to tell if she's serious*
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I'm no leader, clearly, I just did it because no one else took it at the time.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Zeal says mean words to Dahok. Fault 1. Rachael won't speak her feelings about things and chooses to withdraw and cause others to worry. Fault 2. Dahok more likely to side with others than Zeal. Fault 3. Kaelan think with emotions too much instead of head. Fault 4.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Fault 5, Jean's, for not making group hugs happen sooner.
* Kaelan nods.
* Kaelan hugs Jean and starts dragging people into a group hug.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> She's too innocent. What if she makes a bad decision? <Jean> Jean wants everyone to voice opinions to Jean so Jean not make bad decisions. Jean trust groups opinions
<Kaelan> "She seems to have it in order to me."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... 6* She eyes Kaelan dragging her, but offers no resistance.
<Zeal> <Girl> As if you're really one to talk about innocence, Rachael! Haa.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok moves over and hugs
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael reddens. "W-What does that mean?"
<Zeal> <Girl> You're all a bit childish to me!
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers at Zeal now to join the hug
* Kaelan crooks her finger to beckon Zeal.
<Zeal> 6Zeal seems to be twitching-- but at the notion of a group hug, not necessarily spite.
<Kaelan> "Come on Z. I'll buy you a stuffie if you join in."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean's eye waters
<Zeal> I am no toddler, Kael! Do not patronize me..!
<DeathStar> <Jean> Lady Silas...
<DeathStar> 6* Her tone chides.
* Kaelan pouts.
<Zeal> <Girl> You still collect stuffed animals? See. Childish.
<Zeal> You little..--!
<DeathStar> <Jean> 3. 2.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok bats his eyes cutely
<Zeal> 6Zeal jerks, moving into the hug, but looking like she wants to choke the girl.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean smiles and hugs the group. "Team Angel reunited."
<Zeal> 6Then eyes Dahok and shifts the intent.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pats Zeal's back hard enough that her lips fall against Dahok's
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok blinks, then grins, kissing her back
* Kaelan leans in and hugs Jean, she whispers, "Thank you Jean..."
<Zeal> 6Zeal freezes in place, looking mortified
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael reddens a bit as she watches.
* Kaelan blinks at the moment and gasps, looking at Zeal and Dahok, she looks between embarrasment and a hit of jealousy.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok breaks it off, smiling at her cockilly. 1"I always knew you liked me."
<Zeal> <Zeal> -- ..That... Th-that was not my first!!
<DeathStar> <Jean> Who was Zeal's first?!
<Zeal> <Zeal> I-- I--" 6She jerks, eyeing Jean, then Rachael, then runs to her room, shutting the door.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> But you've never been kissed by a fisherman like that
<Zeal> <Girl> Chiiildish.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks confused. "Who?"
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael slowly turns to move for her room now
* Kaelan slowly looks at Rachael.
<Kaelan> "Why'd she look..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Because Rachael knows who it is, one of those girl secrets things
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts to grab his mug and takes a pull from it
<DeathStar> <Jean> ... 6* She carries the girl after Rachael, asking incestantly
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 4.21.2389
<DeathStar> Location: The Palace
<DeathStar> 6* Given seats to keep them out of sight, and forced to dress to the occassion, the ceremony of Arcane's ascension to King continues; many of the church officals are there, including Nuege's own Bishop, Bishop Tarel Nigeria
<DeathStar> 6* Which does leave the question, how guarded is the church tower?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok tugs at his clothes and leans over to Kaelan. 1"Hey, if that big guys here...."
<DeathStar> 6* Also with the Bishop is Thomas, dressed in high ranking church clothing, it seems. He sits with the Bishop
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael studies everything, wearing a white fluffy dress, her hair in ponytail, while Jean's is in braids and swept over her bruised eye
<Kaelan> "Probably doubly so." *she whispers to Dahok*
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> ....What's that mean?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Is it normal for someone like Thomas to be seated next to the Bishop?
<Kaelan> "Mmm? You weren't thinking about the tower?"
<Zeal> 6Zeal sits by Jean in the royal maid's outfit, because if she's here, she needs to attract less attention. The girl Jean's drug along, however, spares no expense in having obtained the most expensive and extravagant dress she could-- and she dresses up well indeed.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I was, yeah.
<Zeal> <Zeal> If he is seated near the bishop... as a scholar-- he must be held in high esteem..
<Kaelan> "I doubt it's been left unguarded... and Thomas being here worries me more."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> If the Bishop's here, the guards are here because they'll protect him first.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> If he is in such high esteem.... do you think he'd... tell them about us?
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> And Zeal's right, it means he's very important to the church to get a seat right there
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> If he has, we'd be busted and Arcane wouldn't become king
<Zeal> O-Of course not.. I trust him.." 6She frowns, peering down.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> But he doesn't know we went to the church
<Kaelan> "Mmm... Thomas did recommend we go to the library, I'm just a bit worried now. I've grown paranoid."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> No, but if they ask around enough, someone might connect that we're the mercenaries.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> We should send the new girl, and maybe someone else?
<Kaelan> "All the more reason not to cause noise."
* Kaelan looks over at Jean.
<DeathStar> 6 *JEan seems fascinated by the ceremony, leaning in to watch with wide eyes
* Kaelan gently puts a hand on her shoulder and leans over, "Jean."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean glances over.
<Kaelan> "Probably should sit back a little... we're in a sticky spot if anyone takes a good long look at you." *she smiles gently*
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, then obeys by leaning back
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> If we're going to do this, I think now would be the best time, honestly.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean not think good idea to go to church. Unless not trust Jean and think we should get information about the angel
* Kaelan sits back as well, she looks over the food. Her dress is very fine but with a simple elegance to it, blue bodice with white and gray sleeves.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok glances to Rachael to see what she thinks
<Kaelan> "I agree with Jean, we should stay away from the church, causing any upset right now will only cause problems for Arcane."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael chews her lips as she eyes Thomas. "With them having doubled guards in general, it will be risky. Plus Arcane wants to meet us after the ceremony."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok nods. 1"That's the majority."
<Zeal> <Girl> I'll go. Hee...
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael studies the Prince. "He seemed sad when I said I was going with you all. Invited me up to his room."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Because he wants to get into your loins...
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael reddens. "He's just your typical man."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Nobles. 6He says, a tone that reflects he doesn't hold them that highly
<DeathStar> <Rachael> After all, you would do no different, I'm sure. 6* She notes about Dahok, but not judgementally.
<Kaelan> "Mmm... not a fan myself... but I had Lord Kalo to get my experiences from."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I've gotta work for it atleast.
<Zeal> True.
<Kaelan> "Very true."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well not always.
* Kaelan eyes a glass of wine, her tone shifting a bit as she says that.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> He seems nice to me. Though it's hard to think with the drinks he gives me. I can't remember everything, honestly, after a few drinks. 6* She says naively, referring to her night drinking and talking with Arcane
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Ah the get the lady drunk so she's easier to get to bed routine.
<Kaelan> "He's nice though, for a noble..."
* Zeal grips her hands tightly-- she's standing, of course. As a maid should.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I---I'm sure he didn't get me in bed. I would remember that.
<Zeal> <Girl> Heeeey. I said I'd go...
<DeathStar> 6* She pauses now.
* Kaelan looks at the girl. "We appreciate it, but no, we don't want to cause problems."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok looks at Rachael now, a look of worry a bit
<DeathStar> 6 *There's thunderous clapping as the ceremony finishes
* Kaelan looks at Rachael. She joins in the clapping, blinking a bit.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok claps a bit
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael claps as well, then rises to head to the room to meet Arcane later.
* Kaelan gets up, waiting for Jean. Taking a sort of Warder position with her lately.
<Zeal> 6Zeal frowns, following Rachael closely.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean gets to her feet, thinking. "Prince Arcane offered drinks to Jean last night, too. Tasty drinks."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok stands up and looks at Jean. 1"I hope that's all he offered you."
<DeathStar> <Jean> They were fruity. 6* She notes as she walks along
* Kaelan walks along with Jean. "We'll have to be sure and pack some of that when we go."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I prefer a strong ale.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok follows along
<DeathStar> 6* Jean beams; as they walk along, they'd find the chamber. Mercy is there, having set down snacks for them.
<Zeal> <Girl> Mercy! Thanks for the dress!
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy bows. "Of course, Lady Pan. King Arcane has let me know to offer you any sort of outfit you desire."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Any outfit?
* Kaelan smiles and toys with the hem of her skirt a little, clearly one of those who was forced into a dress.
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Yes. Lady Pan has her choice of any outfit.
<Zeal> <Girl> Oh! Then I want one of the ones from the towers!
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy bows. "Of course, Lady Pan."
<Zeal> <Girl> Why are you calling me 'Pan,' anyway?
<DeathStar> 6* Jean sits down and sniffs the drinks, then asks Mercy about the fruit alcohol. Mercy pauses. "I will get some for you immediately. Lady Jean told King Arcane last night that was your name."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Oh her.
<Zeal> <Girl> Jeanie calls me 'Pad.' Not 'Pan.'
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Oh. I apologize. ... Pad. 6* She repeats, as if wondernig about such a name.
<Zeal> <Girl> Are you really named Mercy!?
<Kaelan> "Pan's cute too. But yes, our little Pad."
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Yes.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Where's Baby?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers around
<Zeal> <Girl> You're not just called that by the Prince?
<Zeal> 6The girl peers at Kaelan, looking amused. 1"Little Pad. Hee. Coming from you..."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael sits down. Mercy glances at Dahok. "Baby is in your rooms still with your supplies." 6* She looks back at the girl. "No. My name is Mercy Alligheri."
* Kaelan smiles. "I'm still partial to calling you Bob."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Think you could bring him some high end meat?
<DeathStar> <Mercy> As you wish. 6* She bows, then moves to step out to get her orders done.
<Zeal> <Girl> Wow, just rooolls off the tongue. Mercy. That's a cute name.,
<DeathStar> 6* Jean considers. "I wonder if anyone ever says "Please have Mercy" when offering her a job.
<Kaelan> "Still wonder what your real name is."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Please, have Mercy! 6* She giggles
<Chad`Winters> 6Dah looks over at Jean, a confused look. 1"I don't get it.
<Zeal> 6The girl just pats Jean's shoulder.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, then peers downward
* Kaelan smiles gently. "I do."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok grabs some snacks and starts eating.
* Kaelan picks a smaller snack and nibbles a little.
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy returns with the drinks and fills Jean's glass.
<Zeal> <Girl> Your name's totally cute, Mercy. Can I have it?
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Um... you want .. my name? I--if you-- want, Lady Pad.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You hungry at all, Mercy?
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael studies her, leaning forward. "I know we met before. A few years ago, right?"
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Oh, I'm fine, really, Sir Dahok. 6* She notes quickly as she always does. Even when it should be dinner time
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You sure? Not even a little snack?
<Zeal> <Girl> Hey! If it's my name you can't answer to it!
<DeathStar> <Mercy> I-----but....what shall you address me...as, then? 6* She looks flustered, as if unsure what to do, like a deeretard in front of a bearoar
<Kaelan> "Mercy. People can have the same name, can't they?"
<Zeal> <Girl> Not sure! Choose your own name!
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Of course.
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Then, cannot I not be Mercy as well?
<Kaelan> "Yep."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I think my heart would ache if it wasn't.
<DeathStar> 6* The door opens and King Arcane steps in, followed by Sir Kyle
* Kaelan looks over to Arcane and Kyle.
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy blushes at Dahok, then straightens dutifully
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> So how's it feel? 6He looks at Arcane
* Kaelan peers over at Zeal. "You alright? You've been really quiet."
<Zeal> 6The girl just giggles at her prank, then peers over at Arcane and Kyle, getting up and prancing over, circling him at least a dozen times.
<Zeal> I am fine." 6She peers to the side when Arcane enters.
* Kaelan nods a little and looks back to Arcane.
<DeathStar> <ARcane> They say heavy is the head that wears a crown
<DeathStar> 6* He sits down, while Kyle watches the gir
<Kaelan> "...Is it?"
* Kaelan takes a seat, looking curiously at Arcane.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I always thought they say, It's good to be king."
<DeathStar> <Arcane> Hm. I guess we will see if that saying is true. I suppose you are all ready to continue your journey?
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Uh...6He looks over at Jean and the others
<Kaelan> "Yes."
<Zeal> <Girl> What journey?
<Kaelan> "The ruins, Pan."
<Zeal> <Girl> Pan or Pad, why can't you make up your mind..?" 6She sighs.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok crosses his arms, making a head count quickly. 1"We're going to run into a slight problem.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Yes! Ready! <Arcane> PRoblem?
<Kaelan> "Huh?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You obviously know how the ruins are controlled by the Church and you have to be a Digger to get in.
<Zeal> <Girl> Nuh-uh!
<DeathStar> <Arcane> Yes. That, unfortunately, I cannot help you with; right now, I need to focus on Navarro
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Damn. 6He glances at Rachael and the girl since they're the only two without apprenticeships or licenses
<Kaelan> "We seem to be ahead of word on our travels, perhaps we can look into a local guild near the ruins."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> How fast does Church world travel usually?
<Zeal> <Girl> Quicker than your mouth!
<DeathStar> <Arcane> Extremely quick. However, on the island you are going to, is the Digger homebase. I am sure you will find some way to get what you need there.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Maybe I'll run into one of the diggers from my place.
<Kaelan> "We'll worry about it when we get there. Our more immediate concern is leaving without incident."
<Zeal> <Zeal> Worrying about it when we get there is half the reason we become trapped in the first place...
<Kaelan> "True..." *she looks down a little*
<DeathStar> <Arcane> I will have you leave as part of a group I am sending up north to Eira; you will be traveling in one of my personal carriages. Well, two of them for your group's size. That should help hide your identites. And once there, my people will attain a ship for you to sail
<Zeal> <Girl> Only need to be a digger if slow and unwitty!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok perks up a bit at the sailing thing. 1"We get our own ship?"
<DeathStar> <Arcane> Not yours to keep.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Sure...6He seems to ignore that part. 1"But WE get to man it right?!"
<DeathStar> <Arcane> But as there is only a Hunter Guild here, I cannot help you with the digger problem
<Kaelan> "Dahok here is a sailor."
* Kaelan smiles.
<DeathStar> <Arcane> I have a crew that will sail it for you
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok slumps at that.
<Kaelan> "Maybe they'll let you help if you ask nice."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok mumbles at that, looking sad
<DeathStar> <Arcane> Hm. Perhaps I can make up for that. I will offer your group one thing from this castle - anything you wish. Be it equipment, gold, or even a Knight to aid you
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy refills Jean's glass as she drinks it happily.
<Kaelan> "Y-You've already been so kind..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Anything? 6He peers up at the King
<Zeal> 6The girl seems to perk up, wiggling her fingers.
<DeathStar> <Arcane> As long as it's not something priceless to the castle, yes. Some things must be kept in the royal family.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Hmmm...
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I can think on it right?
<DeathStar> <Arcane> You do not have the time, I am afraid. The sooner we get you from Nuege, the better. My people have already begun setting up your transport.
<Kaelan> "Well, we could use gear and equipment for the trip. Our supplies are quite small. We could also use funding. We shuldn't waste such a gracious offer."
<Zeal> 6The girl pauses at Arcane putting limits and sulks
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> We each get one thing or a group thing?
<DeathStar> <Arcane> A group thing. It would be bad for me if each of you requested my best Knights, after all.
<Zeal> <Girl> If he's witholding the crown or royal treasury, then he can't give me what I want. Hrmph.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I wouldn't request your knights
* Kaelan giggles a little.
<Zeal> <Zeal> I--" 6She peers toward Mercy, squinting.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean taps her chin, thinking, then thanks Mercy and drinks merrily, looking drunk already.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael seems to consider while Arcane watches her quietly. "We probably could make due with gold...." 6* She notes to the team
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Or horses
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> If it was just me I'd like Mercy here to have one night a week to get to look up at the sky and enjoy the glittering. No, bells or anything
<Kaelan> "Rachael's right, we could buy what we need with the gold."
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy blinks at that. Arcane peers at Dahok, surprised as well. "That is your request?"
* Kaelan looks between Mercy and Dahok slowly.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> It'd be my request, but this is a group thing so it's what's everyone can agree on
<Zeal> 6Zeal jerks, hanging her head. 1"I-- am defeated by that kindness.
<Zeal> <Zeal> Myself, I might have requested her presence. Sir Fyro-- that is touching.
<Kaelan> "It is..."
<Zeal> <Girl> Rachael's not enough?
<Zeal> Wh-What are you talking about!?
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy blinks even more at Zeal.
* Kaelan blinks and slowly peers between Zeal and Rachael.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Mercy doesn't need to come with us, she'd be better living her own free life.
<DeathStar> <Mercy> I--- you should surely ask for something more important for your journey. I am fine, Sir Dahok, Lady Zeal.
* X1 has quit IRC (Quit: Client Exited)
* Zeal sulks, looking shamed. 1"I have always wanted a maid-- and she is nothing shy of perfect."
* Zeal pauses, tugging at her clothing, currently dressed like her, then facepalms.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Want Mercy, too! 6* She notes drunkenly. "She sings Jean songs at night when ring bell!"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok glances at Zeal at the maid comment and he looks away. 1It's alright, Mercy, I just remember you saying you remember looking at the skies as a kid. I figured it'd be nice if you could do that again
* Kaelan smiles a little. "As nice as Mercy's company might be, our path isn't for her."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael just blinks at Zeal wanting a maid, then deadpans at Jean
<Zeal> <Girl> Hm? Angel like singing?
<DeathStar> 6* Arcane studies Zeal. "I admit, I wouldn't know what to do without Mercy. Though if you want to request what Dahok suggested, I would be glad to make it so as your wish."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods
<Zeal> <Girl> Moody angel looked embarassed when I made her.
<Zeal> <Zeal> Sir Fyro is more alligned. If she came with me, she would merely be in danger as is. That would hardly be right.
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy quietly peers down, looking embarrassed
<Kaelan> "Moody probably liked it and didn't want to admit it." *she takes a sip of wine* "While we could use the gold, Dahok's request seems noble."
<DeathStar> <Jean> MAybe moody angel shy!
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael leans in to whisper to Dahok and Zeal. "Your request might be reasonable, but it's not enough." 6* She notes.
<Zeal> Oh, that is not my request.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok looks at Racahel. 1"I know, we need something that can help us in that."
<Chad`Winters> NRP: this
* Zeal crosses her arms. 1"See, I have been told the prince is a good and kind, reasonable man. Surely as a king he is no different. Something like that, such a man should behest a servant he 'would not know what to do without.'"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> No. If you want to do something for Mercy, get her out of the castle. I heard other maids talk about how some of the King's guests make her do things."
<Zeal> Even without our asking.
<Zeal> 6The girl peers over at the three, smirking.
<DeathStar> 6* Arcane just peers at Zeal, whiel Kyle eyes her.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok glances at Mercy and gets up. He moves towards her and in close
<DeathStar> 6* Jean seems to peer about, as if sensing something in the air
<Zeal> Feel free to correct me if I am wrong, your majesty. Yet surely there should be some pride and reason to being such an upstanding servant compared to usual rabble sneaking behind your back.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> How would you like to be able to do whatever you wanted? 6He looks at her, whispering quietly so she can only hear
<DeathStar> <Arcane> I do not get what you are saying, Lady Zeal. Forgive me, but could you speak more plainly?
* Zeal makes a face, looking to the side.
* Kaelan sips her wine quietly, letting them diliberate.
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy jerks, peering at Dahok, then at the King, then at Dahok. She looks down instead of answering and mumbles something about being happy with her job.
* Kaelan looks over at Jean. "What's wrong?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok leans in close. 1"Are you sure this is what you want?"
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Please, Sir. Dahok... 6* She pleads uncomfortablely.
* Zeal shakes her head and looks forward at Arcane. 1"Lady Mercy is beyond loyal and caters to every whim. It is my belief you should value her for her worth and not treat her as a trivial decoration to this castle who should have to serve to baser needs of guests."
<Zeal> And even pets require a day of rest.
<DeathStar> <Arcane> Hm. You are right, of course.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok nods. 1"Alright."
<Zeal> Reward of better treatment and the likes could even serve as example of your generous rule and a model behavior to follow for others.
* Kaelan hooks some of her hair behind her ear and sits up. "So... have we decided on something?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean is quiet, but peers at Zeal, and puts a hand on her arm. The look she gives is to say "stop"
* Zeal blinks, looking to Jean.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok gives her a smile and he looks at the others. 1"I know we could use gold for our supplies and what not, but we've done fine so far on our own. Which is why I'd like it, as Zeal puts it one way, that Mercy be treated as say any other noble or knight in this castle.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> But this is my thought, what everyone else wants, I'm alright with.
<DeathStar> <Arcane> Mercy, is that what you wish? 6* Mercy jerks, then shakes her head no. <Mercy> I am fine, my lord. Please. 6* Arcane nods, then peers back at the group
* Zeal gives Jean a questioning look.
<Kaelan> "If we could get gear from the armory or gold for our journey, that would serve us best."
<DeathStar> <Arcane> Well, then, I suppose that is that. You should all follow Sir Kyle and get ready to travel north. Mercy will bring your supplies and pet to you
<DeathStar> 6* Arcane rises and steps out, while Kyle motions for them to follow him
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok nods, a somewhat sad look in his eyes.
* Kaelan nods, she rises and curtseys formally to Arcane as her leaves.
<Zeal> Why did you silence me, lady Al'ryl?
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Thank you for your hospitality King Arcane. 6He bows to him slightly
* Kaelan pauses and looks at Zeal.
<DeathStar> <Jean> You were making matters worse. 6* Is all she says, waving at Kyle cheerfully, as if drawing Zeal's attention to him
* Kaelan blinks and moves over to join Kyle.
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle begins to step down the hallway. Jean casually lets him get ahead.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> MErcy, did you need help with Baby?
<Zeal> I -- just want her treated better. It should not require a wish granted for humane treatment..
<DeathStar> <Mercy> I will be fine, sir Dahok. 6* She bows, then moves to head for the tower
<Zeal> <Girl> Look at this way-- at least she's not a halfelf.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael winces.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok eyes the girl. 1"Hey."
* Kaelan turns and eyes the girl.
<Zeal> 6Girl grins at Rachael. 1"Knew it."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael just moves on without another word
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> We don't tolerate that kind of talking
<Zeal> <Girl> What kind of talking?
<Kaelan> "Dahok, check under her hair." *she follows after Rachael*
<DeathStar> 6* When Kyle is ahead enough, Jean speaks. "You were changing the King's attitude in a bad direction. He was not appreciating your words. I did not want things to get worse.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Last time I got close to her, she put a knife to my groin. Pass. 6He moves after KYle.
<Zeal> Then maybe I should have slept with him?
<DeathStar> <Jean> After we are gone, we won't know what happens to Mercy.... maybe would have been nicer to take her with us and leave her in a nice town.
* Zeal looks indignant.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks confused. "Zeal not love King. Why sleep with him?"
<Zeal> Then his attitude would not matter..!
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks more confused.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok rests his hands behind the back of his head. 1"Then she kneed me there. It hurt."
<Zeal> <Girl> She's saying it would have been a pillowfavor.
<Zeal> Sh-Shut up!
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael pauses, peering back. "You think if one of us slept with him, it would help Mercy?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Pillowfavor?
* Kaelan jerks a bit and blinks.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok looks at Rachael then back at Zeal. 1"...Huh?"
<Zeal> I was not being serious!!
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... 6* She chews on her lower lip, peering back the way the prince went.
<Zeal> <Girl> Sure. Of course he'd be more lenient if he was getting some in return.
<Zeal> <Girl> Of course that doesn't say anything about you dump him and head north.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok looks ahead then at Rachael look, eyeing it. 1"Woh. Don't Rachael."
<Zeal> Do we not have a muzzle for this nightwalker..!?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Why not? I can sleep with him and ask him to fire Mercy. Then she'd be out of the castle
<DeathStar> <Rachael> You all think he wants to have sex with me, after all
<Kaelan> "She... said she liked her job..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I'm not ok with you trading your body for that.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Who can possiblely like a job where you have to serve the whim of anyone who is above your station?
<Zeal> <Girl> Most jobs are like that-- her's is just more honest about what they really want!
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> We could always try to change our wish and ask her to come with us.
<Kaelan> "Don't know... is she really mistreated?"
<Kaelan> "I think we've pushed out luck already."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> It's not right. It just isn't. I don't think she should come with us, but I don't like the idea of her being here
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle peers back at them, some ways ahead.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks lost still.
<Kaelan> "We're falling behind."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Then we do what Jean suggests, ask for her to join us instead and then once we get on the ship, let her go where she pleases.
<DeathStar> <Kyle> And what good will that do? 6* He speaks finally
<Zeal> She does not know anything but this castle, does she?
<Zeal> She would merely serve the same ends to worse client or worse still. Perhaps even end up with slavers out of naivity.
<DeathStar> <Kyle> She has lived here in the castle her entire life; she will simply die out there in the world. She will fall into a line of duty similar to the one here at the castle, because it is all she knows.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Probably not much, she'll most likely just come back here since it is all she knows
* Zeal glances at Kyle.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> It's kind of why I wanted her to have one night to herself.
<DeathStar> <Kyle> Here, she is fed well, and not abused. You should be well to leave matters alone.
* Kaelan rubs the back of her head a little.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael frowns at Kyle
<Kaelan> "Maybe those other serving girls were just talking rumors, we can't know, and Mercy hasn't actually said anything that's been lead to be believed."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I saw her clothing
<DeathStar> 6* She notes darkly.
* Kaelan blinsk, she looks at Rachael.
<Kaelan> "C-Clothing...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael describes the skimpy nightwear and stockings she saw in Mercy's room
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers at Rachael describing that and goes all O_O
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I cannot believe she wears that under her uniform because she likes it. I like little clothing, but it was practically... ee through
* Kaelan looks at Kyle. "Is that... part of the uniform?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I only go without my top when it's hot.
* Kaelan blushes more.
<DeathStar> <Kyle> I cannot speak of such matters. Now please come. 6* He notes, gesturing. "In life, sometimes one accepts the grays of the world."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok stares at Rachael at the topless comment
* Kaelan frowns a bit, not liking that answer. She sighs, "We should... at least get to where we can get ready and not use up Sir Kyle's time."
* Zeal looks to the side, silent after the description
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle moves on again. Jean speaks after a moment. "Pillowfavor is bad, right?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Yep
<DeathStar> <Jean> Then Jean should do it as leader!
<Zeal> Unless you love one another!
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I don't think so.
<DeathStar> 6 *Rachael puts a hand to her face
<Zeal> 6The girl pauses and eyes Jean, then laughs.
<Zeal> Absolutely not!
<DeathStar> <Jean> But--- you have to obey Jean...!
<Kaelan> "Everyone..."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok reaches over and puts an arm around Jean. 1"Sorry, but that's something I can't obey, no matter who it was.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean puffs her cheeks a bit. "Bad team. I think of punishment later."
<Zeal> Wh-What..!?
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Punish me later then Jean. But I'll take the blame for not letting anyone do the pillow favor on this one.
<Zeal> <Girl> Punishment sounds fun!
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers at Dahok. "Fine; Dahok can do pillowfavor. Jean will stall for time."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods, then moves after Kyle.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael pauses, then giggles softly despite the situation
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok jerks and pauses. 1"B-But that's not how it works."
<Zeal> 6The girl bursts out laughing
* Kaelan blinks. "How... does that..." *she giggles* "Hmmm..." *she shakes her head and follows Jean*
<Zeal> I--
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael pats Dahok. "Good luck. I will completely respect you more if you can do it." 6* She follows Jean
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok's jaw drops at Rachael now. 1"N-Not funny."
<Zeal> H-How does that even work..?
<DeathStar> 6* OUtside, they would see strangely shaped white horses in front of carriages; there are three large carriages and about six horses, two for each, then two extra horses without a carriage
<Zeal> ..The only time I rode a carriage was in waiting for the bishop...
<Kaelan> "Wow... riding in comfort."
<DeathStar> 6* Men are also outside, getting everything prepped; the carriages are large, and seem to be made from wood, which seems to be rare in Nuege. It looks polished and fine, with actual windows set up and velvet curtains to hide what's inside. The seats are plush and velvet.
<Zeal> <Girl> The only time I ride carriages-- I'm hiding.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks in awe.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I have never ridden in one.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers at the sight and whistles. 1"Seen them a few times, tried to sneak into one...Hey look at those horses."
<Kaelan> "So how do we go about dividing up?"
<Zeal> <Girl> I'm going with the Angel and Rachael!
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael blinks at being claimed.
<Kaelan> "Sh-Shouldn't you ask Rachael first?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean smiles. "Okay, little Mercy."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well Jean's the leader, so she can decide who goes where maybe?
<Kaelan> "Good idea."
<Zeal> That... is fine with me.
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy appears carrying all their supplies, struggling to carry them along, but she seems to be peering down at her breasts with a blush. The bearoar follows along lazily
* Kaelan rushes over to help Mercy. "Here, give me some of that."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Hm, three carriages. It can be Jean, little Mercy - Kaelan and Dahok - and Zeal and Rachael!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok moves over to help her quickly
<Zeal> I-- am fine with that also.
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle steps over to aid as well, taking bags of supplies and whatnot to carry to the carriages. Soma pops out of Mercy's cleaveage and she seems to be completely wooed by it
<Zeal> <Girl> But then I can't tease Rachael..
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael eyes the girl, red in the face, then peers at Mercy, then Soma. "Hmm, maybe we can lure Mercy with us using Soma."
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar flops over to be lifted into a carriage
* Zeal blinks at Rachael. 1"Lady Rachael..."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok grabs some stuff and then hurks as he picks up Baby
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Y-Yes?
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy pets Soma on the head and gives it some meat.
* Kaelan grabs some stuff and smiles. "Thank you for all your help, Mercy."
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle finishes getting their supplies on, then orders his men to take to their positions.
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Of course. 6* She bows, then removes Soma to hold out to zeal
* Zeal reluctantly takes Soma from her, peering at her.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok puts Baby and some stuff into his carriage and he moves over to Mercy and hugs her
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy holds out the rest of the meat to Zeal to take and feed the tigoar.
<DeathStar> 6* Then blinks as she's hugged, looking embarrassed.
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Yes, sir Dahok?
* Zeal sulks somewhat. 1"I still want her."
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle speaks. "Can any of you cook? If not, we might need to bring along someone who can do so. I will have eight men with me."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well I don't think any of us can cook. 6he notes quickly.
<DeathStar> 6* Indeed, eight burly men in armor are getting onto horses; some eye Rachael and Jean and Kaelan, since she has high charisma
* Kaelan starts to pack the stuff into the carriages. "Rachael can cook, I can put some things together as well, thanks to her."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Not that well tho.
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle nods to Kaelan. "Ah. I see." 6* He notes
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael shakes her head at Kaelan, a look of disgust on her face as she gets into a carriage; something might tell Kaelan her cooking lessons are over.
<Kaelan> "Well, I am only a beginner..."
* Chad`Winters stares at Kaelan.
* Kaelan looks confused.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok looks at Mercy, a frown on his face. 1"Sorry, Mercy. Here I thought we could get you a short get away."
<Kaelan> "Truth be told, we're both not that good."
<Kaelan> "Maybe Mercy should come along?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Kaelan should remember details about being a sister. 6* She notes, referring back to Kaelan's lies to the burly man in the inn
<DeathStar> 6* The burly men eye Mercy, then Kyle. <Man> Te King won't like us taking his favorite cook if one of them can cook, Sir Kyle."
<Kaelan> "I got Dahok sick once."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Cooking is a very loose term.
<Kaelan> "Forgive me for boasting."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> It's more, stick food over fire and wait till it's black
<DeathStar> <Kyle> ...
* Kaelan looks down.
<Kaelan> "I'll get better one day."
<DeathStar> <Kyle> And...how well of a cook is Lady Rachael?
<Kaelan> "I really think you're better off bringing someone."
* Kaelan makes a show of looking at Rachael being in a carriage.
<Kaelan> "Really think."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I well...6He begins to describe how he spent several days in a bush
* Zeal looks confused, but peers to the side.
<DeathStar> 6* The men begin to look uncomfortable. Kyle nods.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I still have nightmares about it.
<DeathStar> <Kyle> His majesty will have Harmonica, who does the majority of his meals anyway.
<Zeal> Lady Kael is a blacksmith, not a cook. Use your imagination.
<DeathStar> <Kyle> Though if you wish to begin this journey without Mercy... 6* He notes. The men consider, then decide Kyle will be the one to take the heat
<DeathStar> <Kyle> Mercy, please get your cooking supplies and come back. Do not make any unnecessary stops
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy looks completely baffled and confused, but bows and moves on to do so
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers over at Mercy, a smile on his face. 1"Need any he..Guess not."
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle turns to walk off now himself.
* Kaelan moves over to Rachael's carriage, she looks in, making an excuse by putting some supplies in. "Good news, we don't have to cook." *then adds softly* "Sorry..."
<DeathStar> <Kyle> The journey north will about a week. Perhaps in that time you can decide for yourselves the reality of the grays of the world
<DeathStar> <Kyle> And how you will face it
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle moves on again, hand on his hilt as always as he marches off.
<Zeal> Sir Lambert...
* Zeal smiles slightly.
<Zeal> 6The girl eyes Zeal, then snickers off to the side.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael quietly studies Zeal, and Jean leans over. <Jean> Zeal have crush?
<Zeal> Huh? I--
<DeathStar> <Jean> Zeal have this smile and red face.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean describes it cheerfully and drunkenly
<Zeal> I have said nothing of the sort!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok moves over to his carriage and peers in at Baby. 1"You hear that? Mercy's comin with us."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Like when Kaelan looks at DAhok
* Kaelan blinks, "I---"
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers at Kaelan now
<DeathStar> <Baby> Roar
* Kaelan busies herself with putting supplies away. "W-We should get packing."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean then leans against Zeal, and whispers to her and Dahok. "Don't like how men are looking at us. Will we be okay?" 6* She asks seriously. "Will they ask pillowfavors?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I know. Maybe if you're smooth you can keep her warm at night. 6He wiggles his eye brows at him
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy returns with pots, pans, plates, and a sack of food supplies, clearly not realizing pots and pans probably won't work well on a trip
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers back at Jean and Zeal. 1"I'll deal with them if they do."
<Zeal> They would regret it.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Okay! I will live pillowfavors to Dahok if men ask for it
<Zeal> <Girl> Mmm, this might be fun.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok jerks and hangs his head
<DeathStar> 6* Jean cheerfully climbs into a carriage.
* Kaelan looks over at Rachael, she looks down. "I'm sorry... I've been quite stupid lately."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok points at finger in at Baby. 1"Not one roar out of you, Baby."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael doesn't comment, peering to the side. It's clear she probably thinks that, but isn't rude enough to say it. "At least things worked out."
<DeathStar> <Baby> Rawr.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Hey!
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers out. "Rachael can ride with Jean and Pan if Mercy wants to ride with Zeal."
<Kaelan> "I seem to be saying a lot of things I shouldn't." *she sighs*
* Zeal blinks, looking over. 1"I-- ... w-well that might be nice. If that is what lady Rachael wishes.."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I--I---
* Kaelan gets up from securing the last of the supplies she had and stretches.
<DeathStar> 6* She stiffens and eyes the girl, almost worriedly since she said teasing her
<Zeal> 6The girl smiiiles back.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> If--- Zeal wants to ride...with Mercy...that's...okay... 6* She squirms into the velvet seat
<Kaelan> "You could join us, if you want Rachael."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael deadpans.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok looks over at Zeal then at Rachael's carriage. 1"Aww how cute."
<Zeal> I ... do not mind if she stays with me. Regardless.
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy waits to be directed to a carriage, hands in front of her
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael gets out slowly and moves over to Jean's carriage and gets in
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> So which carriage is Carly staying in?
<Kaelan> "Where is Carly...?"
* Kaelan looks around.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I-- forgot all about her.
* Zeal rubs her face.
<Zeal> It is difficult to keep track of one who takes any form she likes..
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok just moves inside, since it was Zeal's job to find her.
<Chad`Winters> 6inside the carriage.
* Kaelan facepalms a little.
<DeathStar> <Men> We need to get going now; King's orders
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok pokes his head out to look at Mercy. 1"You can join me, Baby and Kaelan if ya want. Or if Zeal's or Jean and Rachael and Pads.
<Zeal> Kael...
* Kaelan pauses and looks at Zeal.
<Kaelan> "Yes...?"
<Zeal> Surely she is not still at the castle-- as you know who?
<Kaelan> "She could be."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Who?
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy looks confused as well
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> She's hoping it's Mercy
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Huh? I am right here.
* Kaelan nods a little.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Oh you are. Come take a cart.
* Zeal rubs her face, looking to Kyle. Kyle knows about Carly and hasn't said anything.
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle has left.
* Kaelan gets up into the carriage with Dahok, she looks exasperated and slightly down in spirits.
* Zeal glances around, then scowls. 1"I--"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok helps her up and he pokes his head to look at Mercy. 1"Which carriage you wanna ride in?"
<DeathStar> 6* The men clear their throats
<DeathStar> <Mercy> I will ride in whatever carriage I am told to
* Zeal looks to the men. 1"What?"
<DeathStar> <Men> We have to go.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I'll do this just once. 6He points. 1"Because I don't like ordering, but come on with us." 6HE hold a hand out
<Kaelan> "MErcy, please get in Zal's carriage."
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy eyes Dahok, then Kaelan
<Zeal> Lady Al'ryl, what do I do about Carly?
* Kaelan blinks and looks at Dahok. "...I'll leave it up to you."
<DeathStar> <Jean> I--- 6* She seems to be thinking. "I don't know." 6* She admits.
* Zeal reels.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shrugs and motions her to get on.
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy walks over to comply.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok holds a hand out to help her up
<Kaelan> "You could go looking and try to catch up, or get aboard since we're being urged to leave."
<Kaelan> "It's... really up to you Zeal."
* Zeal frowns, then shakes her head and just quietly gets to her own.
* Zeal sits in it by lonesome.
<DeathStar> <JEan> Zeal can't ride alone! No good! 6* She eyes Dahok now with a front, then pulls the girl to join Zeal's carriage, and Rachael's
<DeathStar> *frown
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers out at her being alone. 1"She's alone!? Sorry!"
* Kaelan sits a bit curled up on the seat, looking out the opposite side of the carriage.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Won't forget. I will punish Dahok later! 6* She sing-songs cheerfully
* Kaelan smiles a little.
<DeathStar> 6* The men urge the horses on and the carriages start moving. Mercy settles her hands in her lap, trying to get comfortable with the bearoar, Dahok, and Kaelan
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers at it being crowded. 1"Huh...a bit crowded." 6He peers around then plops down in a free spot
<Zeal> <Girl> Jeanie..." 6She leans in close to her face.
<Kaelan> "I could take Baby to the other carriage."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks
<DeathStar> <Jean> Yes?
<DeathStar> 6* The men call out. "Close the curtains on your carriages while we are traveling for now."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> No, I'd take the free carriage so you three could have more room. Plus I think we're moving. 6He shifts to do so
<Zeal> 6The girl nuzzles her. 1"You liked to be sung to sleep?"
* Kaelan closes the curtains of the window she was looking out of.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Yep!
* Zeal shifts to slide the curtains on theirs.
<Kaelan> "When we stop to rest."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> So Mercy, you excited to see something outside the castle?
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar shifts to put it's head in Dahok's lap, and keeps bumping his penis with his head
<DeathStar> <Mercy> I--- find it a bit frightening
<Zeal> <Girl> Then I'll sing you lullabies.
* Kaelan pulls out a tool used for sword maintenance and plays with it quietly.
<DeathStar> 6* Then the bearoar stretches and rams it's feet into Kaelan's breasts as it stretches out
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> It can be overwheLMING...6He plants a hand down on Baby's head, eyeing him then looks up, smiling at Mercy. 1"But, it'll be fun. Getting to see new things."
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar begins to use it's tongue on his lap now
* Kaelan oofs and grumbles. "Ow..."
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy nods politely, strangely not being hit or molested by the bearoar
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts to grab the tongue. 1"But don't worry, we won't let anything happen to you.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean smiles. "That would be nice."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael shifts a bit, and seems to be breathing heavier
<Zeal> Claustrophobic still, lady Rachael?
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar kicks Kaelan's breasts again, enough to knock her top off balance a bit
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael nods a bit palely.
<Kaelan> "H-Hey!"
* Kaelan blushes and pulls her top back into place.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok slowly peers over, his hand holding Baby's tongue
<Zeal> 6The girl eyes Rachael, shifting over to her side, sitting on her lap, draping her arms around her neck and smiling.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael blinks and looks at the girl in surprise. "Y-Yes?"
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar's eyes remain closed as it stretches again, it's razor sharp feet claws shredding Kaelan's dress along the top for all to see.
* Kaelan eeps and tries to shift away. "B-baby!"
* Kaelan holds her arms over her breasts.
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy blinks and looks at the dress with sadness. "Oh, I think it's ruined, Lady Kaelan----I'm sorry."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok's eyes go wide at that and he coughs peering up at the cieling. 1"If you need any help with cooking and what not, Mercy. I'd be honored to give you a hand."
<DeathStar> 6* Baby's foot shifts out toward Mercy's maid outfit now
<Kaelan> "It's alright... I have a change of clothes at least..."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok jerks to grab onto the leg and stop it.
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar's paw reaches out now for Mercy
<Zeal> 6The girl leans in close to Rachael, kissing her lightly, then closes her eyes and just leans on her, using her voice to sing tones-- not quite a lullaby, but close.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok let's go of his tongue to grab onto the paw.
* Zeal deadpans, eyeing her, then pauses, listening.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael blinks at the kiss, blushing and about to say something, but pauses at the singing, her breathing slowing down
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar almost seems to laugh
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You'll have to excuse Baby here, he's a bit of a wild sleeper.
<Kaelan> "Y-Yeah..."
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Really? He seems to be acting unusual from when I usually saw him asleep
* Kaelan keeps her arms hugged around her chest.
<DeathStar> 6* She watches the bearoar shift again and it's tongue waggle at Kaelan's breasts
<Kaelan> "B-Baby! Enough you silly thing." *she backs up a little more*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok jerks a bit from the shifting. 1"Yeah? I'm sure he's just in a very playful mood."
<Zeal> Sh-She is quite good... I have to ..admit.
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar stretches out more, his eyes closed as his tongue keeps searching out her breasts; his other paw reaches out to try to shred more of the dress
<DeathStar> <Men> Okay, you may raise your curtains, we are outside the city! 6* They call out
<DeathStar> <Jean> Pretty!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok motions to Mercy to go ahead and raise the curtain
<Kaelan> "B-Baby what's gotten into you?" *she blushes more and tries to preserve her dignity*
* Zeal blinks, shaking her head, then leans over to open the curtains.
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy does so; they can see the other carriage across from the.
<DeathStar> 6* As Zeal opens it, she can see into the other curtain, and gets to witness Baby slowly shred more and more of Kaelan's dress. The bearoar sticks it's face against the window to peer at her
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Thanks Mercy. 6He jerks as Baby shifts towards the window now.
<DeathStar> 6* Then sticks it's face against Mercy's breasts and rubs his face against it
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok herks and pulls Baby's head back.
* Zeal facepalms, then reaches into her things, pulling out a coin and aiming carefully-- then pegging Baby with it
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy smiles at the bearoar. "He is very friendly."
* Kaelan sits there red faced and embarrased.
<DeathStar> 6* She blinks as a coin comes flying in
<DeathStar> 6* She eyes a coin shaped crack in the window
<Kaelan> "I-Is Zeal being violent again?"
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar rubs it's face and rawrs, then begins nuzzle against Kaelan's breasts and Mercy, whimpering
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok shifts to put Baby in a playful headlock. 1"I think he likes you a lot
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Z-Zeal, why did you---?
* Zeal gestures out the window to Baby in the other carriage
* Kaelan sighs and pets the bearoar. "Fine fine, I'll give you affection if you stop destroying the only dress I've ever worn more then an hour."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> --- I---
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar then sticks it's face against the window again
<DeathStar> <Mercy> The poor thing-- 6* She murmurs, petting Baby's head
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers at Baby then sticks his head in an open spot of the window to peer out
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael then squints as she eyes Baby, jerking
<Zeal> I-- No way!!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok makes a face against the window
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael points at Baby's face
<Zeal> Then where is Baby!?
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks up from singing, confused, then leans over and barely can see Kaelan's indecent state. "Where is Kaelan's dress?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok waves at Jean
* Zeal covers Jean's eyes, gawking
* Kaelan is still trying to hide herself.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, confused as she goes blind. The bearoar puts it's rump against the window
<DeathStar> 6* And shakes it
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok quickly pulls away from the window then starts laughing
<Zeal> That is Carly-- where is Baby..?!
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Oh no...
<DeathStar> <Jean> .... 6* She jerks. "Baby is missing?"
<DeathStar> 6* Baby shifts into Carly, sitting on Dahok's lap - naked.
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy lets out a shrill shriek of fright
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok jerks then shoves Carly off his lap and onto the floor
<DeathStar> 6* Carly hits the floor, rubbing herself in pain. "Rude."
* Kaelan would fall over if she wasn't sitting. "Wait... so where's Baby?"
<DeathStar> 6* Her icy blue eyes blink at Dahok
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Right, and what you did wasn't?
<DeathStar> 6* On top of the carriage, where the supplies are kept, a muffled roar is heard. Pitifully.
* Kaelan pauses, looking up.
<DeathStar> <Carly> You seemed to think it was funny beforehand. Just because Carly wasn't an animal, it's different?
<Kaelan> "...I think Baby's still with us."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Because I thought you were Baby. 6He looks at Kaelan then up
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy, a hand still to her chest, peers at Carly, wide eyed
<DeathStar> <Carly> Hmph. Rude. So if it was the beast, it would be fine.
* Kaelan blinks and looks over at Mercy, she hugs her. "It's alright, Carly's a friend."
<Zeal> If that noise is... thank heavens..
<Zeal> 6The girl stops. 1"Hm, no one listening now."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean begins to open the window and climb out onto the top
* Kaelan looks to Dahok. "We should really get Baby out of the luggage..."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael shakes her head.
<Zeal> Lady Al'ryl! Be careful!!
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Apparently Jean's doing it. 6He shifts to open his window now and pokes his head out. 1"Hey Jean, that Baby over there?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> T-That's dangerous!! 6* The cold, icy sleet flies in as she goes out
<DeathStar> 6* Jean balances and gets ready to leap to Dahok's carriage
* Kaelan sighs and leans over, looking at Carly. "He's just annoyed you tricked him."
<Zeal> Lady Al'ryl!! No!!
<Chad`Winters> 6DAhok eyes go wide and he shifts to climb out himself now and pull himself up.
<DeathStar> <Carly> Ha ha ha. Maybe next time I'll pretend to be some random barmaid and we'll get even closer
* Kaelan looks over at the ruckus.
<Kaelan> "You sure you want to do that Carly...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean then begins to slip from the ice on the top.
<DeathStar> <Carly> You want to do it. 6* She notes,
* Kaelan jerks. "I-I..."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok yells at the guy handlign their carriage. 1"GET CLOSER TO THEM!"
<DeathStar> 6* The man looks back, eyeing them on the top like they were mad. "We can't get any closer. It's too dangerous!"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean makes a squeal as she falls onto some bags, then giggles as she sits up
<Kaelan> "...Why don't we stop the carriages again?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok makes a face and he looks over at Jean then relaxes some what. 1"You alright Jean?!"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods, her hair looking white from the snow. Strangely, it suits her
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You look pretty good from here! 6He gives her cocky smile
<DeathStar> <Jean> Thank you! You look like you don't want to be punished later!
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well it depends on the kind of punishment.
<DeathStar> <Jean> ... There's different kinds? 6* She thinks on this. Meanwhile, a big bag shakes near Dahok and angry roars are heard
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts around to check over the bags for the pitiful Baby
* Zeal sits back, looking like she had a heart attack
* Kaelan looks over at Carly. "H-How do you know I like Dahok...?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok opens the bag.
<DeathStar> 6* She touches her breasts. "Your blood smells tastier."
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar bites his hand and looks at him angerily, roaring at him with accusations
* Kaelan blushes and looks away. "W-Well..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> OWW! I'm sorry! How the hell was I supposed to know?! I thought you were being my wing bear!"
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 6* That night, they have stopped - with plenty of mini adventures available for the carriages, and the knights have carved out a spot in the snow to shield them from the wind chill and have gotten a small fire going using tools. Mercy has a pot over it, cooking some food
<DeathStar> 6* A few of the Knights set up their own tents ,peering at the girls with no subtlely
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok finishes setting up his tent and he dusts his hands off, he moves over to the pot and sniffs. 1"Smells lovely, Mercy."
* Kaelan sits near Mercy, watching her cook with interest. She takes some unnerved glances at the men.
<Kaelan> "So... not used to being stares at." *she fixes the fresh tunic about her*
<DeathStar> 6* Jean prances about in a silky dress, despite the cold, while Rachael wears furs and whatnot, her ears firmly covered
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Thank you
<DeathStar> 6* Carly winks at Dahok whenever he moves near her
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> What is it exactly?
<Chad`Winters> 6Which he doesn't
<DeathStar> 6* Carly has planted herself near the pot and Mercy
<Chad`Winters> 6Curses
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy names some food item that he wouldn't recognize
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Never had it.
* Kaelan tilts her head a little. "What're you putting in it again?"
* Zeal is back in her rabbit fur outfit, though wondering if she should have forgoed the skirt design, peering at the knights with a twitch as she holds out down, despite sitting 'proper.'
<DeathStar> 6* The Knights hang back and seem to be eyeing the girls, clearly having a contest amongst themselves who they think is pretties.t
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I miss the warmth of the castle already. 6* She notes miseriblely. One Knight hoots. "I can keep you warm in my tent."
* Kaelan yawns a little and blinks, peering at the Knight.
<Zeal> 6The girl returns with a skip, having shed the wonderland dress in favor of her own clothes, bearing markings of several different tribes of nomads and land dwellers.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok leans into Mercy. 1"So if you want you can sleep in my tent tonight with me and Baby. Ya know, that way the knights dont' hound you and what nots
<Zeal> 6She stretches, though the clothing is mostly layered garments along her body, and flowing garments, it doesn't particularly look foolproof in warmth. More like decoration.
<DeathStar> <Mercy> I am sure I will be fine. I need to be available to everyone in case they need anything.
<Zeal> Lady Mercy, I would ask you sleep with me tonight.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael eyes the Knight, then away. The Knights laugh at her reaction
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I know, you could spend some time looking out at the glittering with me tongiht
<DeathStar> <Mercy> But--I should really be available in case anyone needs anything...
<Zeal> That is my own personal order.
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy pauses, then nods obediently. The Knights eyes Zeal dangerously
* Kaelan looks over at Dahok, then down at the food again, she frowns more.
<DeathStar> <Carly> Carly will watch the glittering with DAhok
<DeathStar> 6* Carly leans into him
* Zeal eyes them right back, having been around knights half her life!
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I'll pass. 6He notes as he glances at Zeal and moves away from Carly and Mercy.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael eyes the food, peering at Dahok once, then back at the pot.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean plops down as Mercy begins to get bowls prepared up to dip the food into it
<Zeal> <Girl> Jeeeanie?
* Kaelan lets out a soft sigh and peers at the pot some more.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Yes, Pad? 6* She looks at her
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok stretches a bit and he moves over to his personal stuff and he grabs his fishing rod and what tackle he has. He moves back over near the group a bit and plops down and starts going through his stuff.
<Zeal> 6The girl rests her head against Jean again, nuzzling. 1"Are you really the angel?" 6She whispers.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean don't know; everyone says Jean is. Try to kill her.
<Zeal> 6The girl nods, then shifts, taking both of her hands. 1"Then, can I ask a favor..?
<Kaelan> "Jean is Jean. No matter what other people say."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Sure!
<DeathStar> 6* As Dahok goes through his stuff, he'd pull up a tigoar attached to one of the wormy like things
<DeathStar> 6* It dangles
<Zeal> <Girl> Read that the angel can bestow magic. I want magic!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok eye Soma. 1"Looks like you got more than you bargained for."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks at that, then considers. "Friends got magic in fights while protecting me."
* Kaelan slowly peers at the girl.
* Zeal sighs at Soma.
<DeathStar> 6* The tigoar mewls
<Zeal> <Girl> Eh? So if I protect you-- I get magic?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok pets his head and he shifts to free him a bit then sets him on his shoulder.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Think so!
<DeathStar> 6* Soma sits down on the shoulder, trying to look like he meant to do that, like a typical cat
<Zeal> 6The girl grins, then tilts her head. 1"How do I protect you?"
<Kaelan> "Let's hope you don't have to Pad."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean thinks now. "I guess if someone attacks Jean, you--- stop them?"
<Kaelan> "Yeah... essentially that."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Friends got magic first time fighting a god, then KAelan got magic fighting a big Anima
<Zeal> 6The girl shifts her glance to Kaelan, no longer smiling, her eyes having that eerily vacant stare. 1"I want. Magic."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok eyes the girl being demanding like that
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael studies her. "Why?"
* Kaelan raises a brow.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Is that the only reason why you're with us?
<Zeal> <Girl> Nope.
<Zeal> 6The girl peers upward slightly, eyeing a lock of hair and wrapping it around her finger, playing with it.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> And if you don't get magic? Then what?
<Zeal> <Girl> Find something else.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> What's something else?
<DeathStar> <Carly> You could get one of the Knights to try to rape the angel. Then beat him up
<Kaelan> "Carly."
<Zeal> <Girl> Hm. No thanks. Don't want to be raped!
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> If you're going to stay with us, which I'm guessing you want to, you can't do it for personal reasons like wanting magic.
* Zeal peers around Dahok at the girl, but turns her attention to taking Soma back, chiding at him
<Zeal> <Girl> Sure I can.
<DeathStar> <Carly> What?
<DeathStar> 6* Carly looks at Kaelan
<DeathStar> <Rachael> But why do you want magic of all things?
<Kaelan> "That's... don't kid about stuff like that."
<DeathStar> <Carly> I'm not kidding. 6* She says, completely serious faced
* Kaelan goes a bit pale.
<DeathStar> 6* Soma mewls a bit as he's chided
<DeathStar> 6* And gives her tigoar eyes
<DeathStar> <Carly> But fine, why not give her that big monster you guys carry around?
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> We're here for a certain reason, to protect Jean. The magic thing, it is what it is.
<Kaelan> "If your desires are purely selfish, you probably won't get magic." *she rubs her head* "At least in the long and short of it."
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy moves over to the Knights to give them their bowls of soups; some of them hoot and ask her to spoon feed them
<DeathStar> <Jean> I would give magic if I could, but not sure how I gave it in the first place. Maybe "other me" knows!
<Zeal> <Girl> I'm here 'cause I want to be. I also want magic-- and I like moody angel. She's like me. That's why I call her big sis.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Kaelan's got it.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Wonder why I can't use wind magic like everyone else. MAybe I don't give it?
<DeathStar> <Jean> MAybe it's power inside you all!
<Zeal> <Girl> You're all being pretty judgmental, you know. From my perspective, you're all being selfish, not me.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> How do you think that?
<Kaelan> 'How're we being selfish?'
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Us? 6* She begins to eat her food
* Kaelan starts to eat as well.
<Zeal> <Girl> You're acting like you're better than me just because you're saying you're doing it for the angel and not yourselves. But that's what you want, right? She was going to ditch you guys because it was more convenient and easier on her.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> How do you know what anyone wants?
<Zeal> <Girl> Because you said so. And I know some of you a lot better than you think.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> When did I say that?
<DeathStar> <Jean> Dahok said he was here to protect Jean!
<DeathStar> 6* She hugs him
* Kaelan smiles.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok puts an arm around her, hugging Jean back.
<Zeal> 6The girl raises an eyebrow, pointing to Dahok. 1"Does he always do that? Like a street advertiser. Over and over.
<Kaelan> "Pad, maybe I can help you understand."
<Zeal> <Girl> Reminds me of a lawyer! Turns questions back at everything.
<Kaelan> "Jean, do you feel how this girl says?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You saw we think we're better then you, but fact is we don't. You just assume things because it's easier for you to d o that, if you're wrong you pass it off as something else.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: say
<DeathStar> <Jean> Feel what?
<Zeal> <Girl> You're doing the same thing-- assuming my motives.
<Zeal> <Girl> And again, judging them.
<Kaelan> "Well, she said the Angel would rather us not be around, I don't agree, do you?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I'm only doing what you're doing. 6He notes and he shows a lure to Jean, explaining what it's best for
<DeathStar> <Jean> I like everyone around, but--- it would be safer if you weren't near Jean
<Zeal> <Girl> Wow. Talking to you is worthless.
<DeathStar> 6* She peers at the lure, blinking
* Kaelan looks thoughtful, thinking of the Angel's words earlier.
<Kaelan> "Safer for us?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Now the colors are used to mimic a smaller fish that the big fish eat.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Huh? 6* She looks up from Dahok's words, having not heard
<DeathStar> <JEan> Kaelan say something?
<Kaelan> "Do you mean we'd be safer, or you?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Yep! You'd be safer!
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Don't worry about it Kaelan.
<Kaelan> "Thought so."
* Kaelan smiles.
<Zeal> <Girl> Assume what I'm doing-- call me for it-- tell me I'm the one being critical, then ignore me and start talking about fishing bait. No wonder Zeal gets mad you. She's only based on words-- naturally she'd get angry if you make no sense and ignore her.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Speaking of, remind me when we get to the port city to find you the right sailing hat.
<Kaelan> "I'm not. See... Jean's my friend, she might feel bad that we put ourselves in danger, but we know the risks, we're doing this because we care."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael thinks carefully. "You're right. We don't know your motives for wanting magic."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> It's why I'm asking you - why do you want magic?
<Zeal> <Girl> I didn't say you, Kaelan. He's the only one that put me on a stage.
<DeathStar> <Carly> Safer for the angel, too
<Zeal> 6She waggles her finger at Rachael. 1"I'm not telling. At least not right now."
<Kaelan> "Can you answer Rachael please?"
<DeathStar> 6* She chimes in
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Sorry, I don't like having people judge me. 6He shrugs and pulls out another lure and explains it to Jean
* Kaelan frowns, looking at the girl.
<Zeal> 6The girl pauses, staring at Dahok. 1"--That's twice he's told me what I just told him."
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy returns and sits down
<Zeal> <Girl> I think he's broken. More than you, Kaelan!
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers at Carly quietly, and Carly innocently plays with her hair
* Kaelan sighs.
<Kaelan> "You realize it's hard to trust someone who won't only not give a name, but won't even give reasons or motivations for your actions."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Did--the other Jean say why she didn't want us around?
<Zeal> <Girl> I didn't ask for trust.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers at Jean and plants his hand on her head. 1"Hey, you alright?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, then nods. "Yep!"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> So once we get you the right sailing hat and we get on the ship, I can teach you how to man a ship
<Kaelan> "She said she was better off without us around." *she looks to Rachael*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> That's it?
<DeathStar> 6* Jean beams. "Jean will sail good! But first----!"
<DeathStar> 6* JEan looks at everyone, leaning in. "Group decision time."
* Kaelan blinks about to answer but looks at Jean.
<Zeal> <Girl> Recap! I asked Jean to give me magic. You all asked why-- Dahok stuck his nose in and told me I couldn't be around for selfish reasons-- I told him I could, but not to assume what I'm thinking and I don't like being judged based off nothing. Suddenly he doesn't like assumptions or being judged... now we're talking about sailing, fishing, and two people are asking what the angel wanted.
* Zeal twitches slightly, her arms crossed. 1"... It is only slightly disturbing I have had no hand in any part of this."
<DeathStar> <Carly> And you all thought I was annoying.
* Kaelan rubs her forehead.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Let's hear it Jean
<DeathStar> <Jean> First!! Pad. 6* She gives her a hug and a pat on the back. "You will get magic, I am sure. As for you and Dahok, please agree that you each need time to learn more about the other."
<DeathStar> <Jean> And Dahok, it is rude to just cut to a new conversation like you did.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I only did it to avoid an arguement.
<DeathStar> <Jean> And it is rude. And it hurts girl's feelings.
<Zeal> <Girl> You created the argument, then talked over it-- that's even worse. Haa.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean puts a hand to the girl's mouth to shut her up at you
<Kaelan> "Don't press it..."
<Zeal> 6She flails a bit, blinking.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok rubs the back of his neck. 1"Sorry, it's just how I avoid making things worse. I learned the fastest way out of a pointless arguement was to change subjects."
<DeathStar> <Jean> As I said, for now, you both should agree that you need to get to know each other. After all, Jean didn't know any of you when she first met, either. Any of you could have had your own reasons for joining."
<DeathStar> <Jean> If Jean simply assumed you wanted to be with her because she was the angel instead of her friend, Jean wouldn't be happy.
* Kaelan pauses, then nods slowly in agreement. "Fair enough."
<DeathStar> <Jean> But the important thing now
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> And I wasn't trying to say her reasons for wanting magic were bad, I just wanted to make sure they weren't to take advantage of you. Then it got all...confusing so I gave up.
<Zeal> 6The girl bites Jean's hand.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean uncovers the girl's mouth. "We all need to vote on what Dahok's punishment will be."
<DeathStar> 6* Somehow she times it so the girl bites air
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok's jaw drops
<Zeal> 6She wiggles her nose, then leans back. 1"Ah, I am here just because you're the angel. But..."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks at Mercy, then Zeal, then Rachael, then Kaelan, then the girl seriously. "Jean thinks Dahok should run through the snow naked."
<Zeal> <Girl> The difference is, you're the angel, but not. See, I'm not calling you 'sis,' 'cause you're nothing like me.
<Kaelan> "N-Naked...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods cheerfully.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> That's it? 6He stands up, already moving to take his clothes off
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I--- but--- it's really cold...
* Kaelan hides her face in her hands.
<Zeal> <Girl> The angel would know that getting naked is hardly a punishment for that guy of all things, for instance.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Ya only live once.
<DeathStar> 6* The Knights begin to hoot and Mercy peers to the side
<Zeal> That seems more like its punishing us..
<DeathStar> <Jean> Just watch! 6* She says cheerfully. As Dahok gets naked, the cold makes little Dahok vanish literally, so he's like a shivering girl
<Kaelan> "I... I..."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Now Dahok is like one of us!
<Zeal> ..." 6She walks to her tent, hands on her face.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers down. 1"Damn." 6He slowly reaches down to poke there
<Kaelan> "H-Huh?" *she looks up, peeking through her fingers*
<DeathStar> 6* No response.
<Zeal> <Girl> Huh, not bad, for an amateur.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Start running!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shrugs and he stretches a bit then moves off running
<DeathStar> <Jean> Now guys more likely to ask DAhok for pillowfavors tonight
<Zeal> 6The girl leans on Jean. 1"I want to be with the angel, but the difference is-- I'm willing to make friends with you in the meantime. That's reasonable, isn't it?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks at the girl, then smiles. "You're already my friend!"
<Zeal> <Girl> Am not.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Uh huh!
<Zeal> <Girl> You don't even know my name.
<DeathStar> <Jean> That's okay; Jean doesn't even know her own name.
* Kaelan peers at Jean, an odd expression on her face.
<DeathStar> <Carly> Jealous? 6* She whispers to Kaelan
<Zeal> <Girl> I take it back, then. We do have one thing in common.
<Kaelan> "No... just noticing something..."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Besides. Jean likes people with good hearts 6* The Knights watch Dahok, while the girls pay him no mind it seems
<Kaelan> "Jean... you're growing."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks at Kaelan, then peers up. "Taller or bigger breasts?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok comes running by. 1"Bigger breasts."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean glances down at her chest curiously, groping herself; then begins to remove the dress to see
* Kaelan shakes her head. "Your personality, your mind, you seem stronger in all areas lately."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok jerks to stop and hits ice and falls onto his ass. He cranes his neck to look at Jean
<DeathStar> 6* Carly shifts in his way
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok rolls
<Zeal> 6The girl absent-mindedly hands Carly her knife
<DeathStar> <Jean> Oh? Thanks! 6* She covers it back up just as Dahok is about to get a view
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok hangs his head in defeat
<Zeal> <Girl> I don't remember my real name, either. Who named you Jean?
<Zeal> <Girl> What is 'Jean Al'ryl?'
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pulls out a bent piece of metal that has symbols on it, though some are destroyed and unreadable
<DeathStar> <Jean> This says Jean Al'ryl.
<Kaelan> "Yeah, we found her with that."
<Zeal> <Girl> Does it?" 6She reaches for it, practically snatching it away
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok stands up now and moves past Carly to get his clothes
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks
<Zeal> 6She started walking off with it, scrutizining it
<DeathStar> 6* The Knights, meanwhile, have moved closer to try to see the boobs, and curse their luck as well
<Kaelan> "...Should I tackle her?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean sure she will give it back!
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... I don't know with her
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> She wont' steal it, it'd be foolish if she did.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok starts dressing
<Zeal> 6The girl starts to come back, tossing it over her shoulder like trash. 1"Eh."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I was taught...6He pulls his shirt then cloak over. 1"Never crap where you eat."
<DeathStar> 6* There's suddenly a noise nearby. Jean peers up, squinting
<Zeal> <Girl> Doesn't explain why you talk so much shit!
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I-- 6* She moves over to pick up the item, then peers up. "Someone is out there."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok frowns a bit and he moves to grab the gauntlet and then his staff
<Zeal> 6Rachael picks up one of the royal coins she had taken from her as the finder fee. The girl snickers, still holding the item.
* Kaelan looks over, frowning a bit.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok begins twisting his two piece bo to gether as he moves to look outside
<Zeal> 6The girl slides back over to Jean, putting an arm around her and leaning up to kiss her like she did Rachael.
* Kaelan slowly begins to rise.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael looks over, while the Knights get on alert. Mercy pauses with worry and Rachael shifts to follow Dahok; he'd see a shadow of someone outside the camp area, circling it suspiciously. The bearoar, which was snoozing on the edge, rawrs as an arrow lands near it
<DeathStar> 6* It goes running toward Dahok like a big baby
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok eyes the arrow and he grabs the bo tightly. 1"Who goes there?"
* Kaelan draws her sword.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks at the kiss, but doesn't pull back. "Pad want to be intimate with Jean?" 6* She peers back at the arrow, her eyes narrowing dangerously
<DeathStar> <Jean> ... 6* She holds up a hand and a flash goes off, and a goofy man comes falling down, blind onto the ice and into the camp
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts to get ontop of him and he plants his foot against his chest and his staff against his throat
<Zeal> 6The girl slips the object back to Jean, or rather into her breasts, smiling. 1"Maybe, maybe not." 6She looks toward the goofball falling, then nuzzles Jean. 1"I was found with-- my name is Nephilim."
<Kaelan> * The man rises, shaking his head, tossin snow out of it, scrambling to pick up his bow. "What in the gods names was that!"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks at her, back to smiles and happiness. "Nephilim. Pretty."
<Kaelan> * The man is pinned, saying that.
<Kaelan> Seth> "Also... hi."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael aims her sword at the man. "Who are you?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Were you the one that shot an arrow at my buddy?
* Kaelan aims her own sword at him.
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar cowers behind Kaelan, the muscled girl
<Kaelan> Seth> "You mean the monster sneaking around your camp? What did you train it?"
<Kaelan> Seth> "Name is Seth, Seth Vimes, I'm a Hunter."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> He wasn't sneaking, he was probably marking his territory
* Zeal exits her tent, her bow drawn, then stares. 1"Who-- is that?"
<Kaelan> Seth> "Fraid to tell you this, but monsters rarely get close to cuddle."
<DeathStar> 6* Soma peers out at Seth, and mewls fiercely
<Kaelan> * Kaelan looks back at Baby. "Were you planning to eat us?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well I could have him come over her and cuddle with ya.
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar sits and covers it's eyes
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Baby. 6He whistles towards him
<DeathStar> 6* Then trots over on command, apparantly having been taught to listen to whistles
<Zeal> That is right, Soma. Tell him.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean claps. "Dahok taught him a trick."
<Kaelan> Seth> "...Interesting. Rarely seen a domesticated monster, my apologies."
<DeathStar> 6* Baby sits it's rump down on Seth's face
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Apologize to him. 6He shifts the bo end up against Seth's chin
<Zeal> <Nephilim> Rarely? You've seen one before, then?
<Kaelan> * Seth holds up his hands. "S-Sorry?" *muffled by Baby butt*
<DeathStar> 6* Soma looks proud at the compliment and holds his head up proudly
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> What do you think, Baby?
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar seems to accept it, then rolls onto it's back lazily
* Zeal smiles, scratching under Soma's chin
<DeathStar> 6* Jean steps over and rubs the bearoar's stomach, her other hand holding Neph's.
<Kaelan> Seth> "Can I get up now? As much as I like getting on my back when I first meet people, the ice is rather cold."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Guess he's forgiven you. 6He shifts the staff out from under his chin and rests it on the ice. He then takes his foot off his chest and holds a hand towards him
<Kaelan> * Seth takes the hand.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Why---would you like getting on your back?
<Zeal> 6Nephilim lets herself be lead along, staring at the newcomer. 1"Maybe he likes pillowfavors from people like Dahok, too."
<Kaelan> Seth> "Oh, number of reasons." *he waggles his eyebrows*
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Apparently he thinks he's a charmer like me.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael looks at him blankly. "Maybe it's a Nuege custom, then."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok let's go when he says that tho
<Zeal> <Nephilim> If <snakes> count..
<Kaelan> Seth> "I--- I try." *he ruffles his own hair* "I'm not actually from Nuege, don't really have a home these days, how about all of your?"
<DeathStar> 6* Soma purrs
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> It's a male thing if anything and I'm not from Nuege...6He hangshis head
* Kaelan sheathes her sword and shakes her head.
<DeathStar> <Knight 3> Should we kill him?
<Zeal> <Nephilim> What's a home?
<DeathStar> <Jean> It's our camp. 6* She nods
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Nah, I don't think he's worth the effor
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Effort
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy quietly fixes another bowl for the stranger
<Zeal> <Nephilim> I think you should." 6She notes to the knight.
<Kaelan> Seth> "No ill will, I'm just hunting a mark, nothing here, I should note."
<Zeal> <Nephilim> He could be a thief.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> You're one to talk - Nephilim
<DeathStar> 6* She notes, having heard the name
<Zeal> <Nephilim> I know, right?" 6She smiles to Rachael.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers at Rachael, with a slight grin and he looks at Seth. 1"So a hunter huh?"
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "He seems too stupid to be a bandit, firing into a camp filled with soldiers."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Do you have a license?
<Zeal> 6Nephilim skips over to Rachael, whirling around her, then comes to a pause behind her, reaching around without ceremony to grope her chest.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael makes a girly noise, jerking
<DeathStar> 6* She turns aroudn to eye Neph. "W-What?"
<Kaelan> * Seth raises a brow then feels about his cloak. "Hmmm, lisence..." *he pulls it out* "Here we go."
<Zeal> 6Nephilim rests her face against her arm, too short to rest on her shoulder, smiling cheshirely. 1"Recognized the name, did we?"
<Zeal> <Nephilim> But does it mean anything? Does it honestly stir anything up in that head of yours? Or is it just a name?" 6She chuckles.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Neat. 6He moves over and grabs an empty bowl and scoops some soup into it and holds it out to Mercy.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I guess we have some things to talk about. 6* She notes. "You haven't aged much." 6* She whispers.
<Kaelan> Seth> "See here? I'm out hunting the Wolpertinger... you haven't seen it, have you?"
* Kaelan peers between Rachael and Nephilim.
<DeathStar> <Jean> What's that?
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Don't even know what that is."
<DeathStar> 6* Carly snatches the license and eyes it, then dangles it over the fire
<Zeal> <Nephilim> Ah, but you have. Now you understand my fascination with--" 6She squeezes twice. 1"Earlier, when I took those coins. Hee."
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy blinks and takes it, then eats
<Kaelan> * Seth is about to answer when he's theived. "H-Hey! Be careful with that!"
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael makes two more noises, red faced as she tries to look stoic.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok smiles at her and he makes his own bowl of soup and eats it
<DeathStar> 6* Carly casually shifts it over to Dahok, then hands Seth a fake illusion copy
<DeathStar> <Carly> Carly sorry.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok takes it and starts looking it over
<DeathStar> 6* Then hands him a bowl of soup Mercy prepared.
<Zeal> <Nephilim> You're more beautiful than ever." 6She lets go, moving back around, twirling in front of her and clasping her hands behind her back as she leans forward, smiling, then skips back to Jean
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael looks off guard and embarrassed like a child for some reason
<Kaelan> * Seth takes it from her and then slowly eyes Dahok.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Is it scary? Or furry and cute?
<Kaelan> "Is anyone else seeing Nephilim sweeping Rachael off her feet suddenly?"
<Zeal> <Nephilim> He's hunting it. It's scary or it wouldn't be worth a mark.
<Kaelan> Seth> "Oh it's a terrible creature, always besting me, wit's got rough fur and terrible horns."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael jerks her eyes to Kaelan. "W-What? I was a little girl when I--"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Oh I saw it, something between them in the past probably.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok turns the license over, seemingly more interested in that
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael quiets down, since she looks the same age as Neph
* Kaelan smiles, teasing.
* Zeal pauses, peering to Rachael and Kaelan. 1"Is-- something wrong, lady Rachael?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> No.
<Zeal> Are you sure? You do not look well all of a sudden..
<Kaelan> Seth> *looks at the liscence, then the real one in Dahok's hands* "It's legit, if that's what you're wondering."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael grows quiet, thinking back to the past, looking sullen and withdrawn again, probably thinking of Valen
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I think I'll lay down, actually. 6* She sheathes the sword and moves for her tent
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Sleep well, Rachael
* Kaelan frowns a little, she shifts over to Rachael to give her a hug. She pauses when Rachael moves.
<Kaelan> "Night Rach..."
* Zeal pauses, then follows Rachael quietly.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean watches her go, then peers at Seth, then motions him t osit. "Tell us about being a Hunter!"
<DeathStar> -END-
Session Close: Thu Mar 25 23:58:38 2010

Session Start: Thu Mar 25 00:00:00 2010
Session Ident: #TAW-Medieval
<DeathStar> 6* A hooded Rachael moves along the streets, purchasing supplies with money that looks like isn't her own, judging by the condition of it. Underneath her cloak is her typical tribal outfit, despite the chill in the air
<Zeal> 6The wheat-haired girl from another scene stalks the roofs and buttresses along her path, eyeing her as she goes, playing acrobaticly to her own entertaining, before finding a place she does a last sliding flip and drops to the ground, quickly matching her step to the people about some ways behind Rachael.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael quietly gets a fourth bag of supplies and ties it carefully to her arm, though it looks more like she has to remember to do it than habit, then begins to walk along the streets idlely as she peers up at the festive glowstones
<Zeal> 6The girl smiles to herself, letting herself closer to Rachael, her glance bouncing back and forth from Rachael to the aforementioned coins, undoubtedly fixated now.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael stops to watch a juggler as he juggles some balls, blinking in surprise and awe.
<Zeal> 6The girl slides right up beside Rachael, clapping for the juggler.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael smiles a bit as she watches, not even noticing the girl about her age next to her
<Zeal> 6The girl claps more, having swapped some of the supply bags to her own arms and starts backing up little by little as she cheers for the juggler.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael blinks as the string she has gets tugged when the girl tries to move the bags; she looks down, then at her.
<Zeal> 6The girl grins sheepsihly, then slices the string with her knife, not really looking surprised or embarassed, perhaps triggering it on purpose, then shifts to almost skip away
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I--hey! Stop! 6* She notes, moving after the girl quickly. "That's mine."
<Zeal> 6The girl measures her steps, going side to side around other people before giving them a chance to clear way, turning at times to wave to Rachael, as if playing with her.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael darts along the people easily herself, though she seems embarrassed at showing that side of her as she tries to keep up with the girl. Then, after a moment, in a surprising move, she begins to overtake her
<Zeal> 6The girl seems to accidentally drop one of the supply bundles, continuing a bit before another 'accidentally' drops a bit off to the side. She giggles, watching Rachael-- always smiling and such, though her eyes seem calm and perhaps a bit out of touch with her apparent emotion.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael swipes it as it goes down without losing step, gracefully moving forward and begins to get within arm distance of the girl.
<Zeal> 6The girl pivots on her heel and springs toward Rachael instead, grabbing her, a turn on things, hugging.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael blinks as she stumbles, caught completely off guard by the action. She pivots her foot to keep from falling over, and blinks down at the girl, a squint there as if recognizing her from somewhere
<Zeal> <Null> You're Rachael. The angel wants you. Hee.
<Zeal> NRP: WAH
<Zeal> NRP: Stupid subliminal things.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael jerks. "I-I-- don't know what you're talking about."
<Zeal> 6The girl peers up, her neutrally-fixated eyes glower slightly, pure green. 1"You're not Rachael..?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I-- 6* It's clear she's trying to think fast on who this person is, and how she knows who she is, and more importantly the connection to the angel
<Zeal> 6The girl snickers, grabbing one of Rachael's hands in her own. 1"C'mon. The angel's waiting. She wants to go north..." 6She smiles warmly despite the emptiness in her eyes.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I--- know you. 6* She notes softly.
<Zeal> <Girl> Do you..?" 6She glances forward, trying to pull Rachael along to her own pace
<DeathStar> 6 Rachael is pulled along, looking more off balance and confused than ever. "What is your name? How do you know Jean?"
<Zeal> <Girl> Met her in tavern an hour ago...!
<DeathStar> <Rachael> She was .... 6* She shakes her head a bit in exasperation, then tries to tug the girl to a stop. "Can we---slow down---for a moment? Have we met?"
<Zeal> 6The girl stumbles, not weighing much at all, even noticeably an amount less than Rachael, but pouts, tugging back on Rachael. 1"Angel waiting..! Wants to go!"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> We can't leave just yet and she knows that.
<Zeal> <Girl> Why not?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> We need the king's aid first off. And the others are still at the castle.
<Zeal> <Girl> Oh. Angel only say she wants Rachael. Muscle girl won't leave side though. Stubborn!
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Muscle girl--- --- --- Kaelan? 6* She begins to move along willingly now, knowing she needs to get to the bottom of this
<Zeal> <Girl> Don't know. About yea tall, pissy about a locket!
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... ... yes, that must be Kaelan
<Zeal> <Girl> Oh!" 6She just notes, matter of factly.
<Zeal> <Girl> Didn't say anything about others. Was just going to stay with Angel!
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I see...
<Zeal> 6The girl hums as she pulls Rachael in a haphazard and rushed path back to the inn
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael keeps studying the girl intently
<Zeal> <Girl> Here we are!~" 6She sings, opening the door for Rachael, then holds up the money pouch in her other hand. 1"Finder fee!"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Finder...fee? 6* She looks completely confused
<Zeal> 6The girl smiles mischievously, then reaches over and fondles Rachael.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael makes a noise, pulling back a bit in surprise.
<Zeal> 6The girl smiles with her eyes closed in contentment, her second hand holding a handful of the royalty's coins.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I--- alright. 6* She murmurs, flustered and off balance. "I suppose that's... fair. I guess."
<Zeal> 6The girl nods in agreement, then hands Rachael the handful of coins.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael takes the coins, blinking at them again, looking completely lost now
<Zeal> <Girl> Not fair if I take them all, right?" 6She wiggles the whole pouch in her first hand.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I--- guess so...
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers at the coins slowly ,then back up at the pouch. "But---we really need that money..."
<Zeal> <Girl> We?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Our group.
* Seraphna is now known as Kaelan
* Kaelan gently pat's Jean's back, sitting with her and sighing a little tiredly, but still sounding happy. "Thinking about it... we can't really leave until they get here."
<Zeal> 6The girl points in at Kaelan. 1"See? She sighs when thinking about others coming!"
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael keeps studying the girl, then peers up, blinking
* Kaelan looks up, blinking. "Oh, hey there."
<Kaelan> "I'm sighing because I had to hunt down a friend I was worried about and I'm now tired. Little stranger. Are you ever going to give us your name?"
<Zeal> 6The girl springs over and leaps at Jean
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks as the girl leaps at her ,already getting a bruise around her eye where it looks like she got punched. "I--hello!"
* Kaelan cuddling Jean gets tackled too.
<Zeal> <Girl> Muscle girl beat you up?
<DeathStar> <Jean> No! Just hit Jean in the face. Who are you?
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael eyes Jean's face, then eyes Kaelan slowly
<Kaelan> "I opened the door too fast and she got hit with the knob. It was an accident."
* Kaelan looks down in shame.
<Zeal> <Girl> When someone hits you in the eye, you cut them!
<Zeal> 6She chides with her finger. 1"They don't do it again!"
* Kaelan jerks and looks at the girl. "...Wha?"
<Zeal> <Girl> Or they get mad. But they get mad when you take their things anyway, so no loss!
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks in confusion as she listens.
* Kaelan lets out a sigh. "This girl certainly has a lot to say for a padfoot."
<Zeal> 6The girl peers over at Kaelan, then lifts her feet up, slipping off a moccasin-like shoe to peer at her feet, wiggling her toes.
* Kaelan bursts out giggling.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Cut people who hit friends in eyes. 6* She repeats slowly, thoughtfully
<Zeal> <Girl> Only natural!
<DeathStar> <Jean> What's a padfoot?
<Zeal> <Girl> Don't have pads!
* Kaelan sets mode: +b *!*@blk-224-169-0.eastlink.ca
<Kaelan> "It's... a word for someone who's very good at being subtle and sneaky. I think it a nicer word, kind of roguish."
<DeathStar> <Jean> So you were planning to leave without the others, Kaelan?
<Kaelan> "Not if I could help it."
<Kaelan> "Thankfully it seems I don't."
* Kaelan smiles a bit. "I told you, we'll try and fix this."
<DeathStar> NRP: Er, Rachael said that
<Kaelan> NRP: Oh
<Kaelan> NRP: Forget the last line then.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> .... 6* She keeps peering at Kaelan, her expression hard to read.
<Kaelan> "Our fighting has been causing the other one to want to leave us all behind."
* Kaelan looks at Rachael.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> The other has wanted to leave us behind from the beginning. And you were going to let her?
<Kaelan> "Like I said, not if I could help it. But do you really think I could stop her if she wanted to go?"
* Kaelan rubs her forehead. "We all need to talk about this as a group, I was able to keep her from running off through a gate covered in Templars at least."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Maybe not, but still... if you had left, we'd have no idea
<Kaelan> "I know... but, would you rather I left Jean defenseless?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> You just said if she wanted to go, yo ucouldn't have stopped her. That doesn't sound like she's defenseless. 6* She notes.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers at them, then at the girl, smiling. "Hi, I'm Jean!"
* Kaelan peers at her. "I said the other one I couldn't stop, our Jean wouldn't leave us."
<Zeal> <Girl> Hi!" 6She hugs onto Jean. 1"Jean's the angel!"
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael just shakes her head as Kaelan misses her point.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean not bad, though. 6* She notes quickly. Having associated angel with a bad word
<Zeal> <Girl> Me either!
* Kaelan blinks and thinks about it. "Rachael... I really didn't know what to do."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> We should get back to the castle.
<Kaelan> "I agree wholeheartedly."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean reaches out into the girl's hair and begins to pet something
<Kaelan> "Can... you escort her down?"
<Zeal> 6The girl glances over at the two quickly. 1"Castle? I don't wa-- ah.." 6She leans into Jean, smiling with her eyes closed.
<Kaelan> "I'll tell you everything that happened back at the castle."
<Kaelan> "And... yeah, let's bring the girl. She doesn't seem to have much sense of self preservation."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> She's... Don't underestimate her. 6* She notes softly, watching Jean grin as she pets the girl happily
<DeathStar> <Jean> I like her!
<Zeal> <Girl> Mmn...! .. ahn...~
<Kaelan> "She's an elf, a pickpocket, an amazing singer and wiser then she lets on, despite some foolish yelling of a certain word. No underestimation, I just want to be careful."
* Kaelan looks at Rachael. "The first one being awfully important, we need to be sure she isn't caught."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> What? An... 6* She eyes the girl slowly
<Zeal> 6The girl giggles, distracted by Jean's meddling before finishing her complaint about going to the castle.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean picks her up like she were a toy. "Lets go!"
<Kaelan> "Yes."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> How can you be sure?
* Kaelan gets up and moves to grab her things.
<Kaelan> "I can't, but between the other's guess and how she's acting right now, I have a good hunch."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Other's guess?
<Kaelan> "She asked her earlier if she was one of those who escaped."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I-- it doesn't mean she's an elf. She could be a half-elf, or even a lucky prisoner who got out when the dungeon blew.
<Kaelan> "Yeah... I'm just guessing, we could lift her hair up and check, but what Jean was just doing seemed to confirm it for me. At least half-blooded."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael steps back into the shadows, looking worried. "She can't be an elf. Elves hate halflings..."
* Xanatos has joined #TAW-Medieval
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Xanatos
<Kaelan> "Maybe I'm wrong then. She's just a person to me no matter what she is. I don't even know what I am anymore..."
<Zeal> <Girl> Human!
* Kaelan shakes her head and adjusts her weapons belt.
<Zeal> <Girl> Muscle girl!
* Kaelan smiles, "I appreciate that."
<DeathStar> <JEan> Muscle girl. 6* She giggles. "Who's that?"
<Kaelan> "Apparently me."
<Kaelan> "Do I really have that much muscle?" *she looks down at herself*
<Zeal> <Girl> More than Rachael and Jean! And me!" 6She holds her arms up, flailing-- if she wasn't decorated in cloth and flowing garment she might be rather thin.
<Kaelan> "Guess it comes from being a blacksmith."
<Zeal> <Girl> Healthy muscle! Strong woman. Different from blocky men.
* Kaelan blushes a little bit.
<Kaelan> "So are you going to give us a name or do I have to make one up for you?"
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael quietly stays in the shadows, studying the girl
<Zeal> <Girl> Don't need a name.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean wants to call her Pad!
<Kaelan> "It's easier then calling you girl. I like that, Pad."
* Chad-Work is now known as Chad`Winters
<Zeal> <Girl> But I don't have pads.
<Kaelan> "Pad, Bob, or you can give me a name." *she smiles*
<Zeal> <Girl> If I give a name, you'll just be sad when I'm gone.
* Kaelan blinks a bit.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Leaving? 6* She already looks sad.
<Kaelan> "You... don't have to go. You can stay with us."
<Zeal> <Girl> Oh, I don't mean leaving. But I'm like the angel. No one will miss me when I'm gone.
* Kaelan raises a brow.
<Kaelan> "That's not true. I'd miss Jean plenty."
<Zeal> <Girl> But you're odd.
<Kaelan> "In fact... my heart might break... it's why I fought so hard."
<Zeal> <Girl> You leave friends to stay with moody angel-- that's weird.
<Kaelan> "I don't want to leave anyone... but they can catch up, it's when Jean wakes up alone that scares me." *she looks away* "I-I mean..."
<Zeal> <Girl> If left they don't know where to follow.~
<DeathStar> <Jean> But Jean not alone now! 6* She walks out holding the girl like a doll
<Kaelan> "Actually they should right now. We have a destination in mind."
<Kaelan> "The place that the Angel wants to go, we're readying to go to already."
<Zeal> <Girl> Shoulda, woulda, coulda!
<Kaelan> "There is none of that in play right now, we're all together."
<Zeal> <Girl> We are? Can leave now, then!
<Kaelan> "Well, we will be when we meet up with Dahok, Zeal, and Carly."
<Zeal> <Girl> Then we're... not all together!
<Kaelan> "I-I meant figuratively... I'm bad with words." *she pouts*
<Zeal> <Girl> Bad with facts, too!

<DeathStar> (Mew)
<Zeal> 6Zeal peers into Rachael's tent. 1"... Lady Rachael..?"
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael looks over, getting some of the fur off. "Yes?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers at Seth. "Tell us about you!"
<Zeal> 6Zeal pauses, then shakes her head, trying to get over Rachael being more free about it. 1"Are you sure you are fine?"
<Kaelan> * Seth smiles winningly at Jean, "Sure thing beautiful." *he takes a seat*
* Kaelan takes a seat as well, watching the stranger.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Yeah. Just was thinking back to when Valen and I were children."
<Zeal> <Nephilim> Haa. Charmer indeed.
<DeathStar> <Jean> What's a charmer?
<Zeal> <Zeal> What for...? Were you not feeling better..
<Kaelan> Seth> "Why, me!"
<Zeal> <Nephilim> He makes you feel good so he can pull your panties down. Like the prince.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I am. Just sometimes I feel a bit sad. It's hard not to. I grew up with Valen all my life
<DeathStar> <Jean> Oh.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Well, too bad! Only one person can pull down Jean's panties
<Kaelan> Seth> "I'm being likened to a prince already? Amazing."
<Kaelan> * Seth looks at her, Kaelan does too with wide eyes.
<Zeal> 6Zeal nods slowly, moving over to sit on her knees by Rachael, unable to help but laugh just slightly, since her outfit for cold weather is made of rabbit fur, they're similar-- although there's much more to her outfit than Rachael's.
<Zeal> 6Nephilim pauses, peering at Jean with a smirk. 1"Oh?"
<Kaelan> Seth> "And who is this blessed individual?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok jerks slowly peering towards Jean
<DeathStar> <JEan> Well. 6* She looks at Dahok first, then Kaelan, then Neph, then Seth. "Only Jean!"
<Zeal> 6Nephilim reels at that.
<Kaelan> * Seth hangs his head.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> That's my Jean
* Kaelan smiles a little and sighs in relief.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> What-- is funny?
<DeathStar> <Jean> Until someone falls in love with her
<Kaelan> Seth> "Well anyway, I'm a bit of a nomad you see, I've been tracking the Wolpertinger all over the continent."
<Zeal> 6Nephilim slides over-- and against Jean, letting her hands rather abrubtly target the specific article of clothing. 1"What if I want your panties?"
<DeathStar> <JEan> Jean can give them to Neph!
<Kaelan> * Seth scratches his head.
<Zeal> 6Nephilim dances back a few steps, twirling them on her finger. 1"But I'm magic."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean stares now, then lifts her dress up to peer down at her thighs
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> She did that trick to me already
<Zeal> 6Nephilim laughs slightly, shaking her head-- Jean still has them on.
<Zeal> <Nephilim> So gullible.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks now.
<Zeal> <Nephilim> From the luggage." 6She notes. 1"Planning ahead and deception. Useful!"
<Kaelan> Seth> "Neat trick, you some sort of entertainer?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean claps her hands. "Do another trick."
<Zeal> 6Nephilim pauses, tossing Jean the extra panties and pads over to Seth, smiling. 1"Depends on who's asking..."
<Kaelan> * Seth grins, "The man of your dreams?"
<Zeal> 6Nephilim arches her brows and leans against him, letting her hands wander. 1"Oooh..?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> And now you're short some things
<DeathStar> <Jean> Why would someone want a man from dreams? Would go away all the time and be hard to remember
<Kaelan> Seth> "Did she steal my heart while she was at it?"
<Zeal> 6Nephilim looks over to Jean in the middle of rifling some of Seth's belongings in her hands-- and laughs.
<Kaelan> * An empty pouch with an animal foot in it and his liscene.
<Zeal> <Nephilim> He's almost as poor as Dahok.
<DeathStar> <Jean> That's because Rachael has all the money for the group!
<DeathStar> 6* The Knights go shift eyed
<Zeal> <Nephilim> I took most of that.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Oh come now, we split it all up. 6He pats Jean and sits down
<DeathStar> <Jean> Like--sisters?
<Kaelan> Seth> "Did you want my lucky rabbite foot?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean slowly turns to look at Seth, horror on her face
<Kaelan> * Seth looks at her slowly. "What's wrong?"
* Kaelan shakes her head and sits back, fixing her boots.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Y-You have a poor rabbite's foot? 6* She begins to ear up
<Zeal> <Nephilim> You bastard. How could you maim a poor, defenceless creature and then desecrate its body into a trinket?
<Kaelan> Seth> "Aww, don't worry, it's not real."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> How can't it be real? It looks real.
<Kaelan> * Seth snatches it over and shows it to her. "See? It's a twig with cloth fibers made to look like fur. Made by a maiden on a warm Navarro's Spring Night under the glittering."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, eyeing it slowly
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers at it
<Zeal> <Nephilim> ... ..A stick died for that, you know?
<Kaelan> Seth> "It's a charm, to bring luck and a spring in your step. Got it when I was... a-a stick?"
<Zeal> <Nephilim> That poor, defenseless stick. Broken and cocooned in fabric, suffocating.
<Kaelan> Seth> "It's ground tinder, it was dead long before it was dressed, and I've loved it since I was twelve."
<Zeal> <Nephilim> And all this time it has longed to return to the earth..
<Kaelan> Seth> "Y-You're burning more wood then's on fluffy."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok just kind of eyes the two now
<Zeal> <Nephilim> Wow. He gave it a name. Saaad.
<Zeal> 6Nephilim turns and prances back to leap at Jean
<DeathStar> 6* Jean eyes Gluffy, then is leapt on
<Kaelan> * Seth hangs his head. "Harsh."
<DeathStar> <Carly> Heh. Fluffy.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok rubs the back of his head and moves off a bit to peer outside
<Kaelan> * Seth musses his hair a bit and fixes a leather armband about his wrist. "Anything you wanted to know about me? I'm happy to share."
<Kaelan> * Kaelan gets up and bows a bit before moving after Dahok.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Yes! TEll us stories!
<Zeal> <Nephilim> Not interested!
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pouts
<Kaelan> Seth> "Well I'll tell this beauty here, you don't have to listen."
<Zeal> <Nephilim> Why thank you! I won't!
<Kaelan> * Seth just smiles at her and leans back, "Oh yes, you wanted to know about my mortal enemy, the Wolpertinger."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Yes.
<Kaelan> Seth> "It's a terrible beast, craft eyes, terrible horns, moves faster then you can track with your eyes. And that laugh..." *shudders* "I'll catch him one day."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Laugh?
<Kaelan> Seth> "Sorta a chitter really, but it just... it enfuriates you! How he judges you with those evil eyes."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean cowers a bit
<Kaelan> Seth> "Don't worry, I've survived many encounters with the beast. You're safe with me."
<DeathStar> <Jean> With you? 6* She blinks
<Kaelan> * Seth nods. "I'm an expery monster hunter after all."
<DeathStar> <Jean> But--- JEan already has team!
<Kaelan> Seth> "Oh? Where're you all headed?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean begins to tell him everything, like a naive little Jean
<Kaelan> * Seth listens with interest, eyes slowly going wide as he listens.
<Kaelan> Seth> "Interesting, I'm headed that way myself. I suppose I could escort you all and make sure you're not attacked by the Wolpertinger."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Really? Will have to ask team, though!
<Kaelan> Seth> "Sounds good to me." *he smiles that winning smile* "I could entertain a beautiful damsel like you with stories all day."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Seth has more stories?
<Kaelan> Seth> "Oh many, there was this one time it was me and three cheatoars, terrible beasts." *he starts to get wound up*
<DeathStar> 6* JEan blinks as she leans in
<Kaelan> Seth> "I thought I was tracking them, but they were tracking me, got me cornered in a ravine you see, deep in the woods. I was working solo at the time so I had no backup."
<DeathStar> <Jean> And?
<Kaelan> Seth> "They all leapt at once! I ducked and rolled, started running for my life! Then as another leapt at me..." *he throws up his hands* "Slash! I gave it a good slice!"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Why slice it? It was probably just hungry
<Kaelan> Seth> "Hungry for me." *he grimmaces*
<DeathStar> <Jean> Should have offered it a hug!
<Kaelan> * Seth shakes his head. "If only I could little lady. Unfortunately that pack was a bunch of maneaters. Literally."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Oh.
<Kaelan> * Seth nods gravely. "That's why we hunters are around, we sort of punish the bad monsters."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Maybe monsters are misunderstood?
<Kaelan> Seth> "Maybe, haven't met many friendly ones like that bearoar of yours."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean adopted Baby!
<Kaelan> Seth> "I see, cute name."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods. "And our tigoar kitten is Soma!"
<Kaelan> Seth> "Thought I saw a tigroar... so the trick is to raise them young huh?"
<DeathStar> <JEan> And love them!
<Kaelan> * Seth rubs at his chin. "Mmm... curious. I'd love to see how you train them."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Hugs.
<DeathStar> 6* She points at the bearoar showing it's belly to Dahok
<Kaelan> * Seth grins. "Playful tyke huh?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok can be seen showing his belly back
<DeathStar> <Jean> He's a wingbear.
<Kaelan> Seth> "Wingbear...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean shrugs
<Kaelan> * Kaelan giggles, watching the two's antics.

<Tabetha> Seth> "Does he fly?"
<Zeal> Wh-What?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> What--is funny?
<DeathStar> <Jean> Nope!
<Tabetha> Seth> "Mmm, ood. So, I don't think I caught your name." *he smiles at Jean*
<Zeal> Oh. Just-- we both look like natives now, do we not?
<Zeal> I may not be showing as much skin as you... b-but this a fashionable set of fur and leather.
<Zeal> <Nephilim> Her name's off-limits.
<Tabetha> Seth> "Oh come now, I need a name to put to this beautiful face when I see it in my dreams."
<Zeal> <Nephilim> 'Forbidden.'
<Tabetha> * Seth eyes the girl slowly.
<Zeal> <Nephilim> Yep. Just like that-- slowly walk away!
<Tabetha> Seth> "I like sitting right here."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks confused
<DeathStar> <Jean> You see Jean in your dreams?
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael considers, then giggles softly. "I guess it is." 6* She smiles.
<Tabetha> Seth> "Jean is it? I will after meeting you, my dear."
<Tabetha> * Kaelan takes a seat next to Neph and eyes the stranger, leaving Dahok to his manly love time with Baby.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean puts a finger to her lips. "Jean's dreams not always clear. Sometimes confusing and scary."
<Zeal> 6Nephilim peers at Kaealan, as if examining a bug.
<Tabetha> * Kaelan puts a hand on her head, as though patting her. "So is it Pad still or Neph?"
<Tabetha> Seth> "Awww, a lovely girl like you should only have good dreams."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean has happy dreams when sleeping with someone! Like Zeal!
<Tabetha> * Kaelan peers over at Jean. "So it's a good thing I've been trying to keep you company with Zeal busy?"
<Tabetha> * Seth looks between the two wide eyed.
<Zeal> <Nephilim> Don't care what you call me, Scale-n.
<Tabetha> * Kaelan looks back at Neph. "Wha?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean bet Neph will give even better dreams.... for some reason Jean feel like someone used to sing her to sleep long ago
<Zeal> 6Nephilim smiles at Kaelan, then grins over at Jean. 1"I'm confident enough!"
<Tabetha> * Kaelan blinks. "KInda like my Mom did with me... maybe your mother sang you to sleep, Jean?"
<Zeal> <Nephilim> When I sing, it's the closest I get to feeling magic!
<Tabetha> Seth> "Singing is magic. A powerful magic." *he smiles*
<Zeal> 6Nephilim beeeehs at Seth.
<Tabetha> Seth> "I'm serious, I've heard some amazing singers in my life, the way they can move the heart and make people feel things... if that's not magic I don't know what is."
<Zeal> <Nephilim> I do!
<Tabetha> * Kaelan peers at Seth, studying him.
<Zeal> 6Nephilim sniffs. 1"Maybe I'll do both!"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean thinks. "Wonder where Jean's mother is---...Think Jean had one?"
<Tabetha> Kaelan> "Everyone has a mother."
<Zeal> 6Nephilim grins mischievously at Seth. 1"Maybe I could sing-- and blow up your heart."
<Tabetha> Seth> "If you're a great singer, perhaps you can."
<Zeal> <Nephilim> That's moving it right out of your chest.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Sing for us! 6* She asks Neph suddenly, leaning forward intently
<Tabetha> * Seth now gives the girl a look one gives a very creepy person.
<Zeal> <Nephilim> I could give it a try." 6She smiles at Seth, a hand to her 'heart.'
<Tabetha> Seth> "Umm... sure."
<Zeal> 6Nephilim then peers to the side, as if thinking.
<Tabetha> Kaelan> "Neph, Nephie, Nephil..." *she grins*
<DeathStar> 6* Jean rocks as she waits
<Tabetha> Kaelan> "Your name is pretty and fun to play with."
<Zeal> <Nephilim> S-kael-ie.
<Tabetha> Kaelan> "If that's what you want to call me."
<Zeal> <Nephilim> Pari called me 'Phi.'
<Zeal> 6Nephilim nods to something, then closes her eyes and lifts a hand, as if feeling something out, and begins to sing an airy melody with either lyrics in a different language, or simply gibberish, perhaps only Jean would know.
<Zeal> 6She seems to smile as she does, the tone teetering back and forth, as if some sort of race or game of tag was going on.
<Tabetha> Kaelan> "Phi? Okay..." *she blinks and listens*
<Tabetha> * Seth pauses and listens, swaying a bit with the music.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean listens, then begins to mimic the song's tone and pitch perfectly, as if she were a natural singer, though it's clear she doesn't know the words - yet
<Tabetha> * Kaelan starts to hum along again too.
<Tabetha> * Seth sits back, listening in a trance.
<Zeal> 6Nephilim shrugs, smirking. 1'Fancy that, she's stealing my song."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean claps and grabs Neph's hands. "Pretty!"
<Tabetha> * Kaelan smiles and claps too. "That was lovely."
<Tabetha> Seth> "I've heard tales of singing beauties that lure men to their dooms. I think I just met one." *he grins*
<Zeal> <Nephilim> ..." 6She looks to Seth, then smiles. 1"Ha. Ha ha. Ha ha ha."
<Tabetha> Seth> "I'd die happy, little lady." *he winks*
<DeathStar> <Jean> Dying sad. Why die?
<Zeal> <Nephilim> What's amusing to me is hearing something like that-- the rumors do start somewhere. Hee."
<Tabetha> Seth> "Don't actually want to Jean." *he smiles to her*
<Tabetha> Kaelan> "He's joking around... at least I think he's joking."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks confused
<Tabetha> * Seth looks at Jean curiously.
<Tabetha> Kaelan> "Erm... when someone says something like that they mean whatever it is is so fulfilling that they'd be happy the rest of their lives."
<DeathStar> <Jean> That doesn't make sense.
* Tabetha considers. "...You're right. Probably why I've never said it myself."
<Tabetha> Seth> "Well, a lot of sayings don't seem to make sense."
<DeathStar> <JEan> Then why say them?
<Tabetha> Seth> "I... I don't know."
<Tabetha> * Kaelan giggles a bit.
<Zeal> <Nephilim> They're exaggerations. They may not make sense in the conventional means, but they're like our own feelings. Exaggerated so that we might experience them all that much more vividly.
<Zeal> <Nephilim> The more strongly we express something, the more strongly we impress it upon others, no?
<DeathStar> <Jean> Hmmm... 6* She thinks
<Zeal> 6Nephilim grins. 1"Or maybe humans are just absurd liars."
<Zeal> <Nephilim> All have to brag about how miserable they are and how much worse it is than the next!
<Tabetha> Seth> "...Humans?"
<Tabetha> * Kaelan gently puts a hand on her sword hilt.
<Zeal> <Nephilim> That's how the sayings go, right? Human beings?
<Zeal> <Nephilim> What else would I say? Mud monkeys? Hairless apes?
<Tabetha> Kaelan> "People, I think."
<Zeal> <Nephilim> Goofy lechers who hunt teddy bears?
<Zeal> <Nephilim> Ah, yes. 'People.' Sounds so much like peep hole, though, you naughty girl.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean seems to be trying to follow the convo, but looks more and more confused with the new words
<Zeal> 6Nephilim glances at Jean with a playful expression
<Tabetha> Seth> "Don't worry, I'm lost too."
<DeathStar> <Jeaen> Lech..ers? Peep hole?
<Tabetha> Kaelan> "Lechers are people who are naughty and want to peek at naked girls. I think. I was taught to yell at them and beat them up."
<Zeal> <Nephilim> People who look at naked girls? What about people who look at naked boys? Are thye normal?
<Tabetha> Kaelan> "Who would look at a naked boy? That's improper."
<Tabetha> Kaelan> "Wait..."
<Tabetha> * Kaelan deadpans. "Didn't we all just look at Dahok earlier..."
<Tabetha> * Seth stares.
<DeathStar> <JEan> So Kaelan is a lecher
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods sagely
<Tabetha> Kaelan> "B-But you looked too Jean."
<Tabetha> Kaelan> "So did Neph..."
<Zeal> <Nephilim> I'm an equal-opportunist.
<Tabetha> Kaelan> "Doesn't that make you a lecher for looking at girls?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean didn't really look! That would be rude1
<Tabetha> Kaelan> "I-I..." *hides her face* "I'm not a lecher... I..."
<Zeal> 6Nephilim laughs to herself.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pats Kaelan sympathically
<Tabetha> * Kaelan pouts and hugs Jean.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean hugs Kaelan. "Soma lecher, too!"
<Zeal> <Nephilim> Soma? The kitten?
<DeathStar> <Jean> He likes to look at girls!

<Zeal> <Nephilim> For that he's a lecher? I'd have thought it was the getting all cozy in our breasts.
<DeathStar> <Jean> That too! But Jean like breasts, also. 6* She plans her face against Kaelan's as if to emphasis. "Comfortable."
<Zeal> <Nephilim> Maybe now, they are.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Zeal has the comfiest so far
<Tabetha> *Kaelan blushes and gently pets her hair.
* Chad-Work is now known as Chad`Winters
* Chad`Winters is now known as Chad-Sleep
* Chad-Sleep has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<Zeal> <Nephilim> Zeal, eh?
<DeathStar> <Jean> Yep!
<Zeal> <Nephilim> Hm. Who would have guessed..
<DeathStar> <Jean> Kaelan says they are melons.
<Zeal> <Nephilim> What does that make her's? <mangoes?>
<Tabetha> Kaelan> "H-Huh?"
<Tabetha> Kaelan> "Well... Zeal's are bigger then mine."
<Zeal> <Nephilim> Yes, who would have thought? Hee.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean gropes her's, which is not overly large, but bossom enough. "What are mine?"
<Zeal> <Nephilim> [Honeydew?]
<DeathStar> <Jean> Honeydew! What's that?
<Tabetha> * Seth just watches. He's in love with all three girls already.
<Zeal> <Nephilim> A sweet melon, modest in size. Not the largest or the smallest. They're delicious.
<DeathStar> <Jean> So Jean's breasts are delicious?
<Zeal> <Nephilim> I bet they are, hee.
<Tabetha> * Kaelan blushes.
<Tabetha> Seth> "Seems we have a second lecher."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean seems to consider that
<Zeal> <Nephilim> I told you. I'm an equal-opportunist.
<Tabetha> Seth> "Noted."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean leans down as if to lick herself
<Zeal> 6Nephilim starts giggling again, shaking her head.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean huffs after a few tries.
<Tabetha> * Kaelan blinks and shakes her head, she gently puts a hand over Jean's hand. "You're in front of people... Jean..."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Huh?
<Tabetha> Kaelan> "It's... something Zeal would stop you doing."
<Tabetha> * Seth just stares in awe.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Oh!
<DeathStar> <Kaelan> Do mangoes taste good? 6* She eyes Kaelan's chest
<Zeal> <Nephilim> Yep!
<Tabetha> Kaelan> "I-I..."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Hmmm.... 6* She leans in to eye them thoughtfully. "But they don't look like fruit."
<Zeal> <Nephilim> One way to find out!
<DeathStar> <Jean> Hm. 6* She leans over - and bites
<Zeal> 6Nephilim laughs!
<Tabetha> * Kaelan eeps and gasps. "Y-Yikes!"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Hm. Nothing came off.
<Zeal> <Nephilim> Maybe you didn't bite hard enough?
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks thoughtful, then begins to lean over again
<Tabetha> Kaelan> "Y-You can't eat those..."
<Tabetha> * Kaelan blushes a bit and looks at Jean.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Oh.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks sad now
<Tabetha> Kaelan> "Umm... you can taste if you really want, but getting something off them would hurt me." *she blushes and looks away*
<Tabetha> * Seth leans forward.
<DeathStar> <Jean> So, unlike fruits, you don't bite off breast fruits.
<Tabetha> * Kaelan nods. "Y-Yeah."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Then no good!
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods, as if that were that
<Tabetha> Seth> "You three are quite possibly the most wonderful and interesting women I've ever met, maybe except for Sally."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Sally?
<Tabetha> Seth> "Aye, my sister."
<Tabetha> Seth> "Haven't seen her in a long time though, we walked two different paths in life."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Different paths?
<Tabetha> Seth> "Yeah..." *he looks into the fire* "She's on a foolish path."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Why foolish?
<Tabetha> Seth> "She's a soldier. Soldiers wind up dead."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Why?
<Tabetha> Seth> "Generally because they get into fights. My parents died in battle when we were little."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Don't you fight?
<Tabetha> Seth> "Yeah, but if the fight is too dangerous, I can always get out of it. One always should instead of taking a needless risk."
<Tabetha> * Kaelan peers at the man slowly.
<DeathStar> <Jean> What if important to protect people?
<Tabetha> Seth> "Then it's not a fight I want to walk away from. That's why I hunt monsters that hurt people... though..."
<Tabetha> * Kaelan studies his face curiously. She hugs Jean a bit.
<Tabetha> Seth> "Monsters are simple... they're monsters, you expect them to be agressive, I find them easier to fight then people, they can be worse kinds of monsters."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Why?
<Tabetha> Seth> "Their motives aren't always simple, they're not trying to eat, they're not guarding their young... well, not always... the killers I've seen... they kill for horrible reasons, for fun, for power... or because it's easy."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers down quietly now, her mood no longer cheerful, but thoughtful
<Tabetha> * Kaelan blinks and hugs him softly. Seth looks up, "Hey... now don't feel down, I'm sure there's no one like that here. The creeps I used to deal with weren't tolerable by such beautiful women."
<DeathStar> <Jean> ...
<Tabetha> NRP: him = her
<Tabetha> Kaelan> "Are... you alright Jean?"
<Tabetha> * She glances over at Seth accusingly.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Hm? Sorry, Jean not listening. 6* She looks up
<Tabetha> Seth> "I didn't frighten you with that, did I? I can get a little lost in what I'm saying."
<DeathStar> <Jean> I'm okay! 6* She says with a smile, though it's not as cheerful or natural as usual.
<Tabetha> * Kaelan frowns a little and kisses her cheek.

<DeathStar> 6* Jean holds a bowl to Mercy, who dips more
<Jen> * Seth licks his lips, looking at the food. "So what're you all eating there?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean eyes Seth oddly, since she gave him a bowl a long time ago
<Jen> * Seth seems to remember and tries some.
<Jen> Seth> "..." *he pauses, then nods* "...Best damn food I've ever had."
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy bows. "Do you want more?"
<Jen> Seth> "Gladly." *he holds out his bowl cheerfully*
<Jen> * Kaelan shrugs and sits back, "He's weird, but not much more then any of us."
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy refills it, and Seth earns grumbles from the Knights for taking up their food
* Chad-Sleep is now known as Chad`Winters

<DeathStar> 6* On the second night, Mercy tries to cook a rabbit she brought along. When Jean asked what it was, she lied and said it was a terrible beast
<DeathStar> 6* Terrible beast.
<Kaelan> Seth> "GOt to be careful with those terrible beasts. They have poisons, sometimes."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean stares at him. "Why eat if poison?"
<Kaelan> Seth> "I'm sure a cook like Mercy knows how to cleanse the meat." *he nods*
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael watches Mercy cook curiously, but is also wary of the male Knights who eye them.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks at it warily now. "Can Jean eat fruit..?"
<Kaelan> Seth> "And of course, remove the pointy teeth."
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Zeal likes it when you at least pretend to eat the meat." *she smiles and slips a fruit into Jean's hands*
<DeathStar> 6* Jean takes it and nibbles on it
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I-- don't mean to be rude, Mister Seth, but may I ask why you are traveling with us still? 6* She glances at him
<Kit> <Nephilim> Yeah-- why are you still here?
<Kaelan> Seth> "Company, I'm headed the same way so I figure another brave hunter to keep the monsters at bay is the least a service I can do for you fine ladies."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> But if you hunt monsters, wouldn't a large group scare them off so you couldn't do your job?
<Kaelan> Seth> "Only when I'm on an active hunt, I'm heading north to the port to look for new work, as well as word of the Wolpertinger. He likes to raid towns and villages you see."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Oh.
<Kaelan> * Seth nods sagely. "I normally travel alone, but finding some friendly faces to admire while I travel is a welcome change. Especially a face like yours, Lady Rachael." *he grins and bows his head*
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael blinks at that, peering to the side slightly. "Um, thank you." 6* She notes, not glancing his way anymore
* Kaelan watches Mercy cooking, as though trying to pick up tips.
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy sprinkles some things into the rabbit stew.
<Kaelan> Seth> "You're welcome, Lady."
<Kaelan> "What sort of herbs are you putting in?"
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy names all the ingrediants as she puts them in, carefully stirring the stew. Jean twirls a bit in her dress, nibbling on the fruit and making sure Zeal doesn't catc hher
<Kit> <Nephilim> Playyyboy...
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok steps in from off scenes, Baby across his shoulders. 1"I told you she'd cook something wonderful, Baby."
* Kaelan nods and seems to take mental notes on everything Mercy says.
<Kaelan> * Seth slowly looks at Neph. "Are you talking to me?"
<Kit> <Nephilim> To? No...
<Kaelan> Seth> "Are your beautiful siren sounds directed at me at all?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok moves over to Jean and he grab's Baby's paw and plops it down ontop of her head. 1"Hey Jean."
<Kit> <Nephilim> At? Not really.." 6She shrugs, smiling.
<Kaelan> * Seth slumps his shoulders. "You break my heart."
<Kit> <Nephilim> I get that a lot.
<Kaelan> Seth> "Playgirl, is it?"
<Kit> <Nephilim> Not really!
<Kaelan> Seth> "I see. No hope for youing hunters out in the wilds then?"
<Kit> <Nephilim> I wonder.
<Kit> <Nephilim> This one seems hopeless by himself!
<Kaelan> Seth> "Of course."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> He made it this far in this harsh weather, so he's got some talent atleast.
<Kit> <Nephilim> Maybe he's lucky like me?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok looks at both their stats, kidding. 1"I don't think lucky'll let a guy or girl survive in this weather."
<Kaelan> Seth> "I've learned to live through a cold night since I was but a lad."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean seems to be staring at the covnersation in complete awe and confusion
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I know I couldn't make it through this type of stuff by myself.
<Kaelan> Seth> "It's hard travelling alone no matter what the weather."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Yeah? I've travelled alone a bit before, some area's aren't that bad.
<Kaelan> Seth> "Gets lonely after a while. I think the last time I travelled with company was... going on two months now."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Where was that?
<Kaelan> Seth> "Let's see... I've been up and down the range of Navarro and Matias, then I came up here after... eh, nothing big."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok nods. 1"How many jobs you complete as a hunter so far?
<Kaelan> * Seth makes a show like he's counting. "...About 47 successes."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> That a lot?
<Kaelan> Seth> "Not completely sure, been at this for years now though. I tend to just do jobs and move on."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Suppose if it was you'd be bragging more about it. Atleast I know I would
<Kaelan> Seth> "I'll have to look into it, could be bragging material, though I've rarely fought anything of true note."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> We killed a demon once...And this really nasty beast that was...6He describes that one thing they killed off.
<Kaelan> * Seth stares. "And you all AREN'T Hunters?"
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy begins to dish out rabbit stew to everyone. Rachael takes a bowl and sits down
<Kaelan> * Kaelan takes hers and smiles, "Thank you Mercy."
<Kaelan> * Seth pauses from his amazement to take a bowl and wink at Mercy.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Thanks, Mercy. 6He gives her a big smile and starts eating.
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy bows with a smile, moving to give the Knights their share. JEan looks at them worriedly to see if they'll die. She leans in close to Dahok, touching his arm
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers at Jean. 1"What's the matter?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Making sure it doesn't poison and kill you. Seth said was poisonous
<Kaelan> Seth> "Perfectly safe little lady. Like I said, Mercy is an amazing cook."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers down at it then just eats it faster.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean waits worriedly, and keeps touching Dahok's arm
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok let's out a belch and pats his stomach. He holds the bowl to let Baby clean it out
<Kit> 6Nephilim slowly peers at Dahok, then shakes her head, smirking.
<DeathStar> 6* Baby does so, then falls over dead.
<DeathStar> 6* Then snores
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers at Baby go limp over his shoulders. 1"Lazy bum."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks relieved and hugs Dahok as if he over came a trial
<Kaelan> Seth> "Honestly never seen a bearoar so... endearing."
* Kaelan smirks and eats quietly.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok smiles at her and he hugs her back. 1"I was always told I had an iron stomach."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Dahok hero! 6* She takes a tentative bowl to eat now, then smiles happily
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I wish I was this good at making food.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok looks over at Rachael. 1"You could always ask Mercy to teach you somethings. A person never stops learning."
<Kit> <Nephilim> You can be-- in time.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "You're still a good cook." *she looks into her bowl*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I've been watching her carefully, but she knows about ingredients I've never even heard of
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I'm sure she has access to more then we do. 6He shrugs. 1"I still love you're cooking."
<Kit> <Nephilim> I know of ingredients you've never even heard of--
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Don't different regions all have different ingredients?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Thank you. 6* She smiles at Dahok and Kaelan, then looks at Neph, leaning in. "Really?"

<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> So how's it taste, Jean? 6He looks down at her
<Kit> <Nephilim> Of course! Ever heard of a nyaccusaicus root?
<DeathStar> <Jean> It tastes nice! Much better than other soups I had.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> No.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok nudges Jean at that
<Kit> <Nephilim> I rest my case! Hee!
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers at Dahok
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael quietly pretends not to hear Jean
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Nevermind. 6He gives her an apologetic look and he plops down now, shifting baby off his shoulders gently and onto the ground
* Kaelan sits back a little and yawns a bit. She sets the empty bowl down and reaches back to pull her hair back off her shoulders.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers over at Mercy. 1"The soup was good, Mercy."
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy returns and bows, kneeling down to make sure everyone has enough. Jean politely gives Soma a bowl of food and watches him lick at it and then gnaw on the rabbit fiecely
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok gets up and moves to get a bowl ready. He holds it to Mercy. 1"Here you go."
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy takes it but seems to hold off eating as she judges if everyone else is full
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I was wondering, Mercy, if you'd like to come look at the glittering later with me for a bit.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan peers over between Dahok and Mercy quietly.
<DeathStar> <Mercy> IF you wish, sir Dahok. 6* She bows politely again and begins to quietly eat dainty sips of the soup, as if she were royality or something instead of a servant
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael seems to watch as well, running her fingers through her hair. Her expression seems thoughtful as she watches Dahok especially, instead of the usual frown when he talks to women
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok smiles at that. 1"I'd love that. The glittering seems more bright around this area."
<Kit> <Zeal> You all seem to be enjoying yourselves..
<Kaelan> * Kaelan peers down at her bowl quietly.
<Kaelan> Seth> "Ah, the Lady Knight comes to join us by the fire."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Hi, Zeal!!! 6* She waves cheerfully. Rachael smiles at Zeal, too, and gets a bowl ready for her.
<DeathStar> <Mercy> It is? 6* She peers out the makeshift snow cave
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok nods. 1"I think it's because of how open it is.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan closes her eyes. "It is nice to see it again, and it is prettier up here in the north. Kinda like it was in the wastes..."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> It is hard to see in Lenil, unless you climb the trees
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok looks at Rachael. 1"That's where you're from, right?
<Kit> <Nephilim> Yup! She's a tree-girl.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Tree-girl?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I'd like to see the glittering from there once.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> We live in the trees.
<Kaelan> Seth> "Lenil? Interesting."
<Kit> <Nephilim> Not at all-- that's why I like it.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Really? 6He peers at Rachael curiouslly
<Kaelan> * Seth looks at Rachael curiously.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> The forest is dangerous, so while some live on the ground, too, it's safer to built walkways and huts in the tree tops; we're all good climbers in Lenil
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> That sounds neat. I want to see that now.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean want to be atree girl, too!
<Kaelan> * Seth takes the last bite of his food. "They say the people of Lenil are very much like elves. They'd be interesting to meet."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> They do? 6He looks at Seth
<Kaelan> * Seth nods. "They do."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Don't know a lot out about elves. 6He scratches his head
<Kaelan> Seth> "Me either, it's why I'd like to meet some."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael is silent now, eyeing the empty bowl hard
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Probably won't see any up this way. 6He pulls out a piece of parchment and some chalk and he starts writing on it. 1"So what do you think of this area so far Rachael?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I don't like it very much.
<Kaelan> * Seth shrugs, "Probably."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Too cold?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Yes.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> That's one thing I still find hard getting used to.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Not terribly joyful of the cold myself, even if I grew in the Wastes."
<Kit> <Nephilim> You people are weird. People are generally spritz about elves and half-elves, and here you are 'hope we meet some!'
<Kit> 6Zeal frowns slightly, peering to the side-- guilty until recent.
<Kaelan> Seth> "I don't subscribe to what most people believe in."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Never heard of them until I came to Navarro.
<Kit> <Nephilim> That's your problem-- the elves believe the same thing. Why do you think they keep to themselves?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok mouths the that's your problem with a confused look.
<Kaelan> Seth> "Because humans tend to believe their evil nastey creatures who bewitch the innocent and godly. I don't believe anyone's innocent and don't get me started on gods."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> And--- why do you want to meet an elf, Mister Seth?
<Kaelan> Seth> "To see for myself what elves are like, who they are as a people."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well I met three before, they were nice enough to heal me.
<Kit> <Nephilim> And if they launch an arrow while you're saying 'hi?'
<DeathStar> <Rachael> And probably to work your "charm" on them. 6* She notes flatly and rises, moving to her tent. Mercy is silent, sensing notto speak that there is two right there
<Kaelan> * Seth tilts his head. "Something I said?"
<Kit> 6Zeal jerks, getting up to move after Rachael.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Last I checked, anytime a woman walked away like that, it was just wiser to assume you did.
<Kit> <Nephilim> Duh!
<Kaelan> * Seth nods. "Elves are a touchy subject for her, noted." *he eyes Nephilim* "As for firing arrows, no. Maybe if there were less people around who judged others without even knowing them, we'd have less issues like relations with elves being poor."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well from what I hear, they kinda have a reason to be hostile first.
<Kaelan> Seth> "Everyone always feels they've got the first reason to be hostile."
<Kit> <Nephilim> --That doesn't change the fact it's already like that.
<Kit> 6Nephilim gestures. 1"I'm not arrowing people."
<Kaelan> Seth> "...Okay." *he peers at Nephilim more, if he's already figured something out, he doesn't give a hint*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok glances to look at Jean unless she snuck off
<DeathStar> 6* Jean is peering off toward Rachael's tent, distracted. Rachael ignores the invites from the Knights to sit near them
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You get enough to eat Jean? 6He nudges her gently
<Kaelan> * Kaelan opens one eye a little and peeks. "How much progress do you think we've made in these carriages?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Not sure, I find myself getting lost easily around here since a lot looks the same to me out here.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks, then nods
<Kaelan> "I wonder how they can tell if we're going the right way."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> The sun.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael stops outside the tent, arms crossed as she eyes Seth
<Kaelan> "Oh, right." *she blushes a bit* "I should probably take some time to learn some navigation tricks."
<Kaelan> * Seth looks up, sensing beautiful eyes on him, he rubs the back of his head and bows it apologetically, though he doesn't seem to know what he did.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok leans back against Baby, using him as a backrest. 1"The only thing making this long trip exciting is that we get to be on a ship soon.
<Kaelan> "You'll teach... us... some sailing tricks, right?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Of course.
<Kit> <Zeal> Are you okay, lady Rachael?
* Kaelan smiles, her ungloved hand wanders up to toy with her hair a little. "Good."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Yeah. I--- the men back ni Lenil aren't like the people here. Always telling every girl things about how pretty they are, how they dream of them, and eyeing women like they're just there for their pleasure. I thought Dahok was bad, but this Seth is worse."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Dahok said that Jean can be his first mate!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok nods. 1"I'm even picking out a sailing hat for her."
* Kaelan giggles a little. "Sounds good."
<Kaelan> * Seth gets up and smiles to the ladies, he bows and walks a little ways off on his own, where he stops and looks up at the glittering.
<Kit> <Zeal> He... does seem quite fixated.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I think Carly plans to get in his tent tonight. 6* She notes at the lack of the ice demon
<Kit> <Zeal> Perhaps for the best..." 6She says quietly.
* Kaelan smiles and looks at the fire quietly. "Bet it'll be a better trip then my last time on a boat."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I wonder how big the boat'll be.
<Kaelan> "Well Arcane said we'd have a crew... so big enough for quite a few people."
<DeathStar> <Mercy> The King has many large ships.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok looks at Mercy. 1"I'm sure there's a certain one we'll be taking.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael sighs. "I just wish men didn't look at women like we're just .... dolls or something. I bet Seth wants to meet an elf to have sex with her like Arcane.
<Kaelan> * Seth stands still, staring up silently at the glittering, he takes in a breath and can be faintly heard saying, or maybe singing something.
<Kit> <Zeal> It seems men have that in mind with most women, regardless of species. Perhaps it is a sole unifying characteristic.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan fixes the blue cloth about her neck, she sits up and straightens out her cloak.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> His ships must be nice though. I've never been on a royalty ship.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean never been on any ship.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Maybe.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> We'll I'm glad I can be the one to help you with your first time.
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy quietly plays with Soma when no one is looking, and smiles like a child as he licks her fingers
<Kaelan> "I bet Jean'll take to the sea just fine."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> That or she'll get sick from it.
<Kaelan> "Oh don't say that, people can get sick just thinking they might. I did until Dad tricked me."
<DeathStar> <Jean> The sea makes people sick?
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Not the sea itself, just the motion of the ship on the water does
<Kaelan> "The way the ship rocks can make people feel ill, I was convinced it did it to me until halfway through the passage to Navarro."
* Kaelan nods with Dahok.
<DeathStar> <Jean> You have to know the motion of hte ocean to please a woman. 6* She seems to quote. Rachael half-jerks, her ears picking up on it
* Kaelan blinks, "Wh-Wha...?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok points a finger at Jean then holds his hand out for a high five.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean returns the high five
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Haha, so you heard me, huh? 6He starts laughing
<Kit> 6Nephilim bursts out laughing
<Kaelan> "H-Heard you? Who would you be saying that to?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean smiles happily at all the laughter
<DeathStar> <Jean> 'It's not the size of the boat that matters, it's how you steer'.
* Kaelan reels.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts to get up, dusting his hands off. He pauses to look at Jean then busts out laughing again
<Kit> <Zeal> ...Oh dear.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Just remember Jean, it takes a long time to get to Navarro in a row boat.
<Kaelan> "A-A rowboat...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks at that. "Long time good, right?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Depends on the situation. 6He stretches and moves off to his tent
<DeathStar> <Jean> Does Dahok own a rowboat?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok steps out of his tent with three blankets over his shoulder. 1"You say something Jean?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Was wondering if Dahok owned a rowboat.
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy giggles at Soma as he tries to get in her cleaveage.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I think, perhaps, we should teach Jean some respectable quotes....I don't understand a word she's saying, but it can't be good.
<Kaelan> "I think the conversation got away from me too."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> My boat's a bit bigger then a rowboat. 6He moves over to the others and looks over at Mercy. 1"Ready to check out the glittering?"
<Kit> <Zeal> I believe these are sexual innuendo.
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy looks up from her breasts, and rises, bowing to Dahok
<DeathStar> <Rachael> What's...an innuendo? The boat is a penis?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok moves outside and sets down a blanket for them to sit on.
* Kaelan watches Mercy and Dahok quietly.
<DeathStar> 6* Carly whispers in KAelan's ear. "You should invite yourself to join them."
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy kneels onto the blanket.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok holds out the second blanket for her as he sits down.
* Kaelan shakes her head. "That'd be rude... if... Mercy makes him happy then so be it..."
<DeathStar> <Carly> That or he knows she's an easy lay.
<Kit> <Zeal> Metaphors to indirectly infer certain actions..
<DeathStar> 6* MErcy takes it and wraps it around herself carefully; Soma pokes his head out to try to eat snow
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Oh.... oh. 6* She reddens.
<Kaelan> "Makes him happy, doesn't it...?" *she smiles weakly and looks at the fire again*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok tosses the blanket around himself and he lays back to look upwards.
* Chad`Winters is now known as Chad-Sleep
<DeathStar> <Carly> You're weak. You'll never get a man like that. You'll end up with the bearoar at this rate.
<Kaelan> "Well I'm not clubbing one and dragging him to a tent. I'd prefer a man who will stay with me. Someone who loves me."
<DeathStar> <Carly> Sounds like you want the angel, then, instead of a man
<Kaelan> "H-Huh...?" *she blinks a bit*
<DeathStar> <Carly> Men are dogs. They don't want to stay until they get old and have no choice. Only women want that. And I don't think Zeal is into women. Rachael might be - I hear elves go both ways from the Knights.
* Kaelan frowns. "Well before Dahok, the closest thing to a 'man' in my life..." *she frowns, getting angry, she falls silent*
<DeathStar> 6* Carly leans in, eagerly. "Yes?"
<Kaelan> "Kalo, the Lord that I was sworn to. I was what you called a reared servant, if he found no suitable noble girl... and believe me, no girl would stand him... I'd eventually have been taken in hopes of breeding him some sort of lineage. I hate him."
<DeathStar> <Carly> Did he ever molest you?
* Kaelan goes perfectly silent, she looks at the fire.
<DeathStar> <Carly> Did it feel good?
<Kaelan> "I hated every second he touched me. He also hit me whenever he was displeased."
<DeathStar> <Carly> Then inform him you would cut off his penis if he ever did it again, or failed to please you
<Kaelan> "If I ever see him again... I.." *she shakes a little* "That man killed my father."
<DeathStar> <Carly> ... Oh. .... Carly sorry.
* Kaelan takes in a breath and sighs. "It's okay... I'm okay."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean is peering at Kaelan quietly; she leans over and hugs Kaelan suddenly
* Kaelan blinks and hugs her back.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean keeps hugging Kaelan, looking sad
* Kaelan kisses her cheek. "Thanks Jean. Don't be sad please."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Can go back to Navarro and make Kalo apologize if Kaelan want
* Kaelan shakes her head. "First, I'd never put you in danger, second, I'd rather just never see him again. If I do see him... I will make him apologize."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean will help. 6* She nods. "If Kaelan wants, Jean will touch her whenever she wants."
* Kaelan blinks, "Touch me?" *she hugs Jean still*
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods, then touches her head and pets it
<DeathStar> <JEan> See?
* Kaelan smiles. "Can't say I don't like it. You're a good friend Jean."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pets Neph, too
<Kit> 6Nephilim blinks, peering at Jean.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean's hand pets around her bandana, going for -- the ears!
<Kit> <Nephilim> How do you just seem to know tha-- ah... ahhh...
<Kaelan> "Mmm... you should be a little more careful around our guest, Neph." *she sighs a bit and looks at the fire again, but she seems cheered*
<DeathStar> 6* Jean keeps rubbing them happily; shje also rubs Kaelan's ears
<Kit> 6Nephilim lulls to the side, her eyes closed as she murmurs softly.
* Kaelan giggles a little as it tickles a bit. "J-Jean... silly..."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean stops finally and lays across Nephilim's lap happily, putting her legs across Kaelan's
<Kit> 6Nephilim flutters her lashes a moment, then stares at Jean on her lap.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean wiggles her head at Nephilim enticingly, her own ears buried in her thick blonde hair
<Kit> 6Nephilim stares more, then tentatively pats Jean on the head.
* Kaelan starts to give Jean a footrub.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean giggles happily; her hair shifts a bit

<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts his hands behind his head as he lays on the blanket and peers up at the glittering. 1"When I was a kid, I'd try to connect the glittering to make images of things. Sometimes a really badly drawn fish, and other times..well a really bad drawn boat."

<Anyata> * Seth drops down on the blanket between them, looking up. "Looks nice."
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy, who was listening politely, then peers at Seth
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok slowly peers at Seth cockblocking for Kaelan
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> It's why I look up at it.
<Anyata> * Seth looks up at the glittering still, "Sure was a good idea."
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Who made the glittering? The gods?
<Anyata> Seth> "In a way, yes they did."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> It's what we're taught.
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy considers
<Anyata> Seth> "When the gods smote down the ancients, they destroyed the moons... I think thats what they were called. The Silver Moon became the glittering."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Sounds about right.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean, meanwhile, looks relaxed as she gets the royal treatment to her feet
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Why not put it back together?
<Anyata> * Kaelan continues to give her a foot massage.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> If they fixed it, then we wouldn't learn from the ancients mistakes
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Oh.
<Anyata> Seth> "Yep, that's what gods do, leave us lessons to learn. There were two moons, the other one, the Black Moon, fell all over the world, it's pieces broke up our lands into the continents and islands. It'd be a lot to put back together."
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Then isn't the glittering --- suppose to be more depressing to look at, if it reminds of bad things?
<Anyata> Seth> "It's to remind us of what we had, before we defied the gods."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> It's supposed to be, but I don't look at it that way. I just try to see the good from it
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy looks up at it quietly, though not really with wonder anymore, but thoughtfulness - as if seeing it as a warning now
<Anyata> Seth> "Personally... I wonder if we shouldn't look at it as a sign of what we could be again one day."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> How do you come up with that?
<Anyata> Seth> "We got there once, what's stopping us again besides fear?"
<DeathStar> <Mercy> The gods. 6* She notes simply. "They are our superiors."
<Anyata> Seth> "I never did sit well with authority... even when I was one."
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Oh. I - I apologize if I have angered you, Sir Seth. 6* She notes quickly.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> That they are. But I still prefer to look at the glittering as something new to see every night instead of a warning of some sorts
<Anyata> * Seth peers over at her. "I don't think it's possible for a girl of your beauty to anger me." *he smirks*
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy bows respectfully. "You honor me with your words, Sir. Seth." 6* She sits back up, then looks up.
<DeathStar> <Mercy> But isn't it...the same every night?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shakes his head. 1"It changes a bit."
<Anyata> Seth> "It looks different from different places, if you travel a lot you'll notice it."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well yeah but even now, if we looked up at the sky from this same place a few weeks from now, most of what we see now would be different
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok scratches his head. 1"Wait...I think that's wrong."
<Anyata> * Seth just smiles, looking back up at the glittering.
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Oh. 6* She considers that
<Anyata> Seth> "You may be thinking it due to the stars changing their position. A change of background can make anything look different."
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy sneezes a bit from the cold
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts up to peer at her. 1"Need another blanket?"
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Oh, I am fine, sir Dahok. I am just not used to being out in the snow.
<Anyata> Seth> "Perhaps it wouldn't be a good idea to be out here that long if you're not used to the elements yet."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well if you're that cold you could always move over closer to me.
<DeathStar> <Mercy> I am sure I will be fine, sir Dahok - sir Seth. 6* She seems to make a point not to sniff anymore, as if it would be offensive to them
<Anyata> Seth> "Mercy, you're a maid at Nuege Castle, aren't you?"
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Yes, sir Seth
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> A good one too
<Anyata> * Seth leans over and whispers into her ear. "You don't have to change anything to suit my needs, please be yourself."
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Of course, sir Seth. 6* She bows politely.
<Anyata> * Seth seems pleased and looks back up at the glittering.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> 'bout how many more days of travelling do we have, Mercy?
<DeathStar> <Mercy> I do not know. I have never traveled outside the castle before.
<DeathStar> <Mercy> I can ask a Knight for you
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> It's no biggy, I'll just have to make the best of what time we have to gether
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy nods. "I will be sure to let you know how long the Knights think we will take to reach the destination." 6* She says, as if to help his scheduling
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well I don't want to trouble you
<DeathStar> <Mercy> I do not mind; it is what I'm here for.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok smiles at her. 1"Thanks, Mercy."
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy bows politely.
