| "Kiley said that it was his sister, Juline, and he said she's blond and is usually wearing white. He said we'd recognize her because she dresses very regal," Akana replied, then took a drink from the glass before her, "In other words, she'll probably be easy to spot. He mentioned she'd probably be traveling aorund with a group too." Gaia walked into Narya, wearing a cloak to cover her features. Running about on the rooftops would be too much trouble now, especially with so many people about. She headed past some kids playing along the side of the street, one of the children pointing out she had red skin when he caught sight of her bare feet. She stopped, turning to the little kid. From under the cloak, she lifted a finger to her lips in a silencing gesture with a smile. The kids giggled, running off back to their games. The red, elven woman straightened, continuing on her way, stopping outside of a store and leaning against the outside wall of it near the door. Gaia only had to wait for Juline, Phulan, Kia, Iviana, and the new girl she had spotted to arrive. Juline would get rather lucky today, from what she could sense... 2 senshi and 3 knights.. but if they'd accept this mission or not was another story. Celes and her father were nearly at Everi. She was happy that she was back to see her beloved mother, even if it wasn't in person. Suddenly a thought came to her and instantly it formed into words.. "Father can we stop off at Narya? I want to buy some nice flowers for mother." Celes didn't know why she wanted to go there first nor why she wanted to get flowers, there were plenty of nice flowers already around in the wilderness. *...If you want little dragon. We can get some more food and supplies while we're there.* Her father agreed and changed direction slightly, towards Narya. Phulan was about to tell Juline that it was probably nothing but when the girl appeared she raised an eyebrow. *Well what do you know? I'm pretty good at this...* She thought and kept her golden eyes on the stranger. Though she knew she probably didn't need to be cautious, she was-out of habit, and she wearily observed the armored girl as she said somewhat coldly, "Perhaps...why do you wish to know?" Ruman started to whistle as he past many different people, ships, and stores. He then furrowed his brow and stoped, looking up at the sky briefly. "Hmmm..." He mused as the wind russled through his red hair, "Seems like there's a new wind blowing..." And with that he shook his head and continued on his way, picking up the tune again. Pansha looked into her drink and swirled the pink content in it once and took a sip. "I see...well. If she's traveling in a group, that also might not be hard to spot...so what do you suggest as an attack plan?" Celes father decended from the sky and landed just outside of Narya, in a small clearing surrounded by thick trees. Celes climbed off her father's back and tidied herself up. A flash of light appeared beside her and her father emerged at her side. "Come then little dragon, lets us get our shopping." He said with a smile and hugged his daughter. He took the huge green bag off of Celes and pulled it onto his shoulders. Celes gave him a small smile back and they started walking towards Narya. Yasmine crossed her arms before her chest, "Because some weird looking chick said to go into town with the group that was coming, which was you guys." "That must've been Gaia.." Juline said softly, "A red-skinned elf?" "Yeah! She just kind of fell down from the tree beside me and told me that, then disappeared. She was heading into town too," the armored blond replied. Akana thought for a moment, "Probably a surprise attack, go for the stronger ones of the group. If we get rid of them, we can pick off the weaker ones and go from there." Gaia stretched her arms out, the sunlight catching some of her red-tinted skin. She lowered her arms, her eyes seeing Ruman. Smiling lightly, she glanced to the road that led into town, "Come along Juline.. you've met one, and there's one of your knights wandering about.." *Wait a minute..* Her mind told herself, *Why do you care? They've all been so horrible when they found out who you really are.. why care?* Mentally, Gaia waved the question off, deciding to answer it herself later. Iviana smiled, watching Yasmine talk to Juline. She decided she liked when Gaia showed up, especially to instigate Juline. She thought it was funny. "Shall we go find her then?" Ivi asked, watching Kia squirm to the ground and start picking flowers. Peeking through the edge of the bushes and trees, Celes saw crowds of people walking to and fro. They stepped out into the town and walked around looking at different shops. Celes walked past a type of resturant with people drinking outside. She noticed two females drinking on a porch and felt something strange when she saw them. *How weird, I must be coming down with something..* Celes thought and excepted it as an answer, but inside she still felt anxious. Phulan kept a weary watch upon Yasmine and frowned slightly as she heard Gaia's name mentioned. *hmmm, if Gaia sent her to us...then...could this be another senshi? No way, she doesn't look like it...but then I don't think I look it either...* She then crossed her arms still watching the other girl, she then replies to Iviana's question "Sure...it'll be interesting." Ruman kept walking, he decided that he'd go home first and then think about eating. However, upon seeing a young girl looking into a restaurant he stopped. *Funny...I seem to be drawn to her...as if we had some sort of connection...* He shook his head and went over to her. "Hey there kid." He said to Celes with a smile. Pansha nods "Sounds like a good plan..." Just then she caught Celes's gaze and frowned, she frowned even more as she watched Ruman approch. Turning back to Akana she said "Looks like someone's taking interest in us." And with that she finishes her drink. Celes was about to catch up with her father when she heard a guy's voice call behind her. She jumped and quickly looked round, seeing a very tall, well built guy smiling at her. Making contact with his dark brown eyes, a cold shiver ran down her spine and a gust of wind blew passed them. She felt a strange connection to him. Realising that she had not answered him after several seconds she blinked and said "Hi.." Juline nodded, "Then into town we will go, and what is your name?" She directed the question to Yasmine. "I'm Yasmine Duress, and all of you?" She asked, uncrossing her arms. "I'm Juline, and the others are Phulan," the Council member said, pointing to the thief, "Iviana and Kia, who is the youngest.." Juline finished, pointing to the other two, "Shall we go then?" "I suppose..." Yasmine trailed off, watching the others. She then turned, heading into Narya. Juline smiled to the others, then started to follow. |
