Kiasar_Kisareno looks at Jin as she continues the conversation from the beach. "Fish? Try again. There were plenty of sailors to go around and many of them very willing for a good bite."
Jin-Saotome follows his nose with Kiasar close behind him. He smells fire and food, both of which he's rather good friends with. Sneaking past some trees and shrubbery Jin steps out into the camp and looks around at Boromoy, Abby, Exmerlda...and anyone else there. He makes a face to Kiasar and says, "Blood, ick.. you should try a nice eclair or some stroganoff sometime."
Kiasar_Kisareno looks at Jin and laughs "My system would kick it back quicker than you can say... What was that place you mentioned earlier? Radioshack?"
Boromoy clears his throat " the stew is good tonight'
[Boromoy whispers to Flash_Guardian] The Gypsy camp lies in a tranquil meadow deep within a dark forest. The camp fire is always blazing with fresh stew and hot coffee that flow freely. Most all are welcome here. Just out side the light of the fire you may see a wagon setting. For the right price some here might sell you potions, balms, or other such items. Music dance and merriment are the order of the day here.
Jin-Saotome replies to her and says, "Like a merchant shop that sells things, advanced things. Things from a galaxy far, far away or however that nonsense goes. You could get anything from those places, parts to make the grandest of machines!" Jin forgets his manners for a second then turns and waves to everyone at the camp. "Hey... hello there. I smelled food and thought I'd drop on in... if that's ok."
Kiasar_Kisareno sighs as she looks around. "This is a pretty nice place." She smells the air and smiles. "I haven't smelled anything that good since I was little."
Kiasar_Kisareno looks at Jin "A merchant shop with advanced things? Strange concept..." She shakes her head, smirking. "Ah well. To each his own."
Ezmerlda blinks as she sits beside Boromoy. The man obviously knew him....and seemingly fairly well.
Flash_Guardian shadows his way after Jin and Kiasar. Eventually he comes within sight of some sort of encampment. The music is lively, the fire is bright, and the food smells wonderful! Flash is again reminded of his newfound hunger as his stomach rumbles. He peers out from the woods, watching the other two simply waltz in. He assumes that maybe it is just that easy, and steps out into the firelight, making no attempts to hide himself.
Jin-Saotome waves over to Flash all howdy-like.
Abbey gets up, dry, and walks back to the group, a little surprised at how the numbers had grown
Jin-Saotome bows to Boromoy and says, "Fresh stew? How much, what kind?"
Robert~Darklord rolls up to the camp in his Viper, letting the headlights shine on the camp as he steps out of the car, standing there for the moment as he looks over the area, letting his shades dip for a moment before he pushes them back up, reaching in to turn the car off and kill the lights. He pockets the keys in his trenchcoat before he slams the door shut, arming the security system before he enters the camp slowly, his face holding a cold expression as he takes a drag of his cigarette, heading towards everyone else as he cracks his knuckles loudly before he stops near Jin, letting a smirk come to his face "So, your still not dead my friend. That's very good to know"
Jin-Saotome eyes Robert's car. "How did you drive that thing through the forest without a road?"
Flash_Guardian at last recognizes the figure, now that his face is properly lit. He smiles and approaches Jin merrily. "Jin! Long time no see!" He stands with a hand resting on his hip casually.
Abbey looks at Robert, and stops, not moving, standing just near Boromoy
Boromoy Looks up from beside Ezmerlda ' help yourself Friend allways plenty"
Flash_Guardian eyes Robert's car with much curiousity as well. There were some places that vehicles weren't meant to go, especially ones so expensive.
Jin-Saotome chuckles to Flash and says, "Not true, I saw you on the beach earlier, I just didn't wanna interrupt you." He nods to Robert and says, "Good to see you alive too friend. Well, as close to that as you get."
Boromoy glance between Rob and Abbey
Abbey sits down, her eyes lowering as she scolds herself for jumping to conclusions
Jin-Saotome doesn't wait for a second offer and fetches himself a bowl, filling it with stew. "Many thanks. My name's Jin, Jin Saotome." he says to Boromoy. "A nice little outfit you have here. What's the occasion, just a merry band of party-goers?"
Flash_Guardian looks between Boromoy and the soup hungrily, licking his lips and swallowing. "Ahh," Flash says, nodding gratefully. "Probably best. Wasn't one of my best moments." Flash's cheerful look darkens marginally, but is impossible to diminish given his current setting.
Robert~Darklord grins as he looks back at his car for a moment "All terrain tires, plus the fact I am one hell of a driver, no matter where I go. I would have brought my Harley but I wasn't feeling like a biker tonight, so I brought the pride and joy of my collection here. You should really come by sometime and check out my vehicles dude"
Ezmerlda sits, unsure of what to do
Aiza strolls into the camp, her eyes glowing a deep purple. She looks from person to person, her white wings folded against her back.
Jin-Saotome wiggles his fingers at the bewildered Ezmerlda and says, "Heya there. You look like you're part of this little group, what's up?"
Flash_Guardian nods respectfully to Boromoy, assuming that he's the one in charge of the soup. "How do you do? My name is Flash," he says simply and respectfully, then nods once to the soup. "May I?"
Boromoy leans over to Ezzy " I say it looks like a good time for some dancing "
Jin-Saotome nods to Robert and says, "I'll take you up on that sometime."
Ezmerlda blushing softly she smiles "Nothing." she says, her hand still in Boro's. Kissing his cheek softly she whispers "I will dance for you."
Boromoy nods to Flash " Boromoy at your service help your self to Stew and Coffee"
Aiza sneaks up behind Flash and taps him on his right shoulder, then dodges to his left side.
Jin-Saotome shrugs at Ezmerlda and devours his soup without a spoon. He gnaws a bit at the edge of the bowl realizing he's done and sets it down. Jin spies Aiza and chuckles... hehe.
Boromoy pulls out his fiddle and begins to play a Jaunty little tune
Robert~Darklord grins at Jin as he takes another drag, cracking his neck slightly as he looks to the people who probably inhabited this camp "Name's Darklord, and that's all you need to know"
Flash_Guardian ' eyes simply go wider. Food and dancing? Tonight was most definitely his night. Oh how he'd missed those rare times spent with the gypsies in his past. Only once or twice. He is about to reach for a bowl as he feels a tapping, unwittingly spinning to his right and continuing to spin until at last he faces the tapper ... and breaks into a smile at her sight. "Aiza!" Whatever look of darkness was over Flash before, it is entirely gone. What a night this shall be!
Jin-Saotome looks over at Robert as he gives his introduction and gives him a golf-clap. "Niiiice, why not threaten them while you're at it and extort some toll-money. Just get a bowl of soup and take a seat."
Ezmerlda grining she steps up quickly, her slippers being left behind as her small feet start to dance. She would move in small circles before the fire, her skirts twirling about her as her hips moved....
Aiza smiles at Flash, her eyes lighting up a bright green, "Hello Flash. How are you?"
Jin-Saotome mutters something about sidekicks and heads over to the wagon, inspecting the goods. He picks and prods through the wares, finding a small lamp and a belt-pouch. "Who's the barterer here?" Jin asks, wiggling the items in his fingers.
Boromoy start to liven up the tune he is play his feet tapping along
Ezmerlda turning slowly she moves around the fire her eyes never really leaving Boromoy as she moves happily.
Flash_Guardian notes the color of Aiza's eyes, sighing as he remembers what they mean. "I'm ... not bad, really." He wastes no time in spooning up some stew to appease his aching tummy, thanking Boromoy and quickly finding a seat to watch the dancing. There is a seat for Aiza nearby, and he offers it to her.
Boromoy nods to Jin indicating that he will be with him in a moment as he continues to play
Flash_Guardian begins to put away his stew in record time. A pity, really, considering it's probably some of the finest he's had in a long time. Seems he's eager to dance as well.
Jin-Saotome sets his items down and heads over to the group where Boromoy and Ezmerlda are making their festivities more... festive. He catches Boro's rythm and claps quietly, nodding to the beat.
Aiza sits beside Flash and says, "Don't worry. We've got it under control." She pats him on the shoulder and looks around, "Where's your bride?"
Robert~Darklord looks at Jin as he narrows his eyes, thankfully with them being hidden by the sunglasses "I'm not hungry for any kind of food right now Jin. I need something else, something that I will not say out loud because it may scare the women" He takes a final drag before he spits the cigarette into the grass and stomps it out with his foot
Jaia-Asumoto moved toward the light of the fire, her form beset by shadows cast from the trees. Stepping into the meadow, she become visable to any who would observe at a distance. Her kimono was its dull brown as she had removed her armour after her last bout in another tournament she had the honour of participating in. Her left hand rested on the pommel of Ichijmond, which was held tight to her waist in it's sheath by her plain, green sash. She approached cautiously, but not in any way that would reflect an inability to speak or socialize...even if that was the case. She wore a straw hat, spread out, like a flat cone..its brim casting a shadow over her features leaving only the light reflecting against her eyes to be seen. She stepped into the camp, a silent entity...chosing not to disturb anyone..especially not the hosts, as a samurai..if she did so it would disgrace her.
Boromoy bring his song to a close leaving the music to the other Musician about the camp
Jin-Saotome nods to Robert and continues to pester him by saying, "Look, I told you before I don't know where I can get you livestock at this time of night. Hell the livery stables are closed and you've scared just about every farmer here by chasing their sheep around. Just have a bowl of soup, it's good, really."
Ezmerlda smiles dashingly as she moves behind Boromoy, gracefully draping her shawl over his shoulder, leavng the soft smell of roses lingering around him as she danced by, the music stoping. She wrap her arms around his neck and kiss him softly
Flash_Guardian offers a cheerful wave to Robert as he eats, seeming much happier than last perhaps Darklord saw him. As he eats, he watches the gypsy woman spin her circles around the fire. He then turns to the angel seated next to him, shrugging and swallowing another bite. "Your guess is as good as mine, Aiza." He seems distracted by something for a moment, a shadow coming over his eyes, hinting at a bit of nervousness. To the undiscerning eye, Flash was Flash, but anyone worth their religious salt could tell that there was something drastically different about the man. Something not good.
Jin-Saotome claps for Boromoy and Ezmerlda's performance, heading over to them. "Excellent show, excellent indeed."
Ezmerlda blushes under the man's praise
Flash_Guardian overhears Jin, distracting him from his distraction as he has a laugh at Robert's expense. Not wishing to seem impolite, he quickly stifles it and applauds at the end of Boromoy's performance.
Boromoy bows to Jin-Saotome "Thank you sir, A bit late for shopping but I am sure that we can come to some arrangement"
Jin-Saotome turns to see Jaia approach and notices she's in a Japanese kimono. He bows keeping eye contact, and winks at the end. "Hello there, come right in and enjoy the music and dancing. Oh and the stew, it's rather good."
Jin-Saotome nods to Boromoy and says, "Well I don't get much sleep around here these days and the overhead cockpit light in the Blodia blew out... so I need a lamp."
Aiza 's wings twitch as she feels her sister.
Flash_Guardian notes another more silent figure entering the camp, gazing in Jaia's direction for a moment in curiousity. He puts away the last of his stew, then looks around wondering where on earth to put the bowl, seeming entirely lost. A moment after, his pendant glows, alerting him to another's presence. His heart skips a beat, though he neither smiles nor frowns.
Boromoy looks up at the night sky " very dark and very dangerous out there " shakes head " you have gold I trust"
Robert~Darklord rolls his eyes as he grabs a spare bowl, filling it with the food before he begins to eat, finishing it off quickly before he sets the bowl down and cracks his neck again "Well pardon me for not only craving, but enjoying the taste of fresh blood Jin. That stew or soup or whatever you call it is good, but i'm still not satisfied yet" He returns Flash's wave as he sits down and shuts his eyes
Bida begins wandering towards a firelight, towards a camp. Her pendant begins to glow, and she looks around half expectantly.
Jaia-Asumoto had stopped for a moment, to observe the scene before her, almond shaped eyes narrowing to focus in the dwindling light, although the fire seemed to make up for it. For a moment she remained completly, still, in a calm undisturbed way...almost as if she were like a statue..a trance which some could easily be confused by. Inclined her into a single respecting nod toward Jin, before looking about the camp..surveying the scene through the eyes of one who had made many observations. Moving her right hand to push the straw hat back, as the chin straps held the hat to her neck. Her face almost immediatly gave away her Japanese blood, as she looked around her carefully with brown eyes...having not said a word thus far.
Flash_Guardian just stares at Bida from his seat, half wanting to approach her, and half wanting to run and hide. His left hand moves to clutch his right, wringing it absently ... wait a minute, is something missing from that hand?
Jin-Saotome searches through his various pockets and furrows his brow. He produces a stick of lint-ridden gum, some parking tickets, some silver coins (old world style mind you) and golden amulet with the egyptian pyramids emblazoned on them, and some other worthless stuff. He holds up the amulet to Boromoy and says, "This close enough? Got it off of a Lich a while back, crypt guardian of some sort."
War walks towards the light she can see as she leaves the trees, the stallion that had been at her shoulder staying back as she continues towards the voices.
Bida walks to Flash, her face split in a smile, "Hello, love." Her smile falls as her eyes fall to his hand, "Your ring, What's happened to it?"
Jin-Saotome figures he'll pass off the cursed artifact to the gypsies to sell to someone else. That's how rp's get started anyway...
Bida takes a step back and a second look at Flash, "You. . .are, different. . ." She is now worried, and it shows.
Boromoy eyes the Amulet turning it over in his hand " fair enough " looks about the camp " I can think of better things to do than barter right now"
Aiza stands, and leaves, without a word to anyone.
Jin-Saotome swipes the old lamp and the empty beltpouch, wrapping it around his right leg. "Then by all means let's have some fun. I'm going to get some oil for this lamp and I suspect I'll return for more of that stew."
Flash_Guardian is breathing rather quickly, his eyes unable to stray from his loves face as he sits looking up at her from his seat near the fire. The firelight casts strange highlights over his haunted eyes, and he swallows. There was no avoiding this. "Ummm ... Bida? Aiza? There's something you need to know ... something that's happened." He speaks with quite a bit more strength than the last few times he's had to explain. Unbeknownst to him, however, is that Bida already knows what he's about to tell her. To an angel, it's as plain as day what's happened to him.
Robert~Darklord shifts his body as he sits in a lotus position, laying his hands on his knees as his forefinger and thumbs touch, soft words coming from him " Azarath, Metrione, Zinthos " He figures whilehe has the time, he will get some meditation in to cleanse his inner being and clean his karma
Bida takes another step backwards, shaking her head and looking terrified. She falls to her knees, tears coming to her eyes, "no. . .it can't be. . ."
Jin-Saotome nods to Robert, Flash, Bida, Boromoy, Jaia (who he's like to talk to sometime, woot a japanese girl!) and the rest of the bunch before heading off into the woods. He rubs the lamp a few times and huffs when no genie appears... at least it'll keep him from tripping over the control panel at night.
Boromoy carefully wrapping the amulet in a black pouch he wonders if jin knew what he had just given him
Flash_Guardian just looks down and away in shame. She knew. Seeing his love's reaction, he quickly moves over towards her, placing a reassuring arm on her shoulder. "I'm ... I'm sorry."
War glances around herself as she stops walking towards the fire, her face showing her slight surprise at the different people here and what they seemed to be doing.
Jaia-Asumoto watches a rather juicy situation begin to unfold. Shaking her head a little as she never had enjoyed the dramatic...she would honour their privacy, and took a step back, before circling around the fire, to the far end of it, out of earshot so she could hear nothing. She noted the exit of the female, and then returned the nod favoured to her by Jin, although she did not know him personally. Shifting her left hand from the pommel of Ichijmond to just below it's hilt so that she gripped the sheath that held it, she slid it out of the sash that kept it at her side, before placing it down in front of her as she knelt reverantly. Bowing her head, she slowly pulled the straw hat over her head, and placed it aside before closing her eyes as her longer hair unfurled and cascaded down her shoulders, her eyes closing as she drew in and released a deep relaxing breath..almost in a state of meditation.
Bida 's face falls into her hands as Flash holds her. She shudders at his touch, she can practically feel him aging. She shakes her head, and wipes her face dry. Standing, she wrapped her arms around him, "Don't be, love. It'll be alright."
Boromoy looks about the camp and smiles yawning " Good night all " as he walks toward his wagon .
Flash_Guardian falls quickly into Bida's arms, wrapping his own around her, his red cape now wrapped around her, joined to his wrists as it is. The soft, downy feathers at the tips of her wings brush up against his bare arms. He just closes his eyes, not quite as pained by his loss as before. His tears have already been shed ... and now that he knows that Bida is aware of what happened and is still at his side, that's all that he needs. He smiles, leaning back and smiling at his love, nodding. "I know," he says, brushing a thumb along her cheek to wipe away her tears and smiling. "I'm gonna be okay," he says, as much to reassure Bida as himself.
Bida smiles, but her eyes show a fierce determination and a plan forming in her mind. She says, "Everything will be perfect. Comeon, lets go sit."
War sits down a hand on her knee as she looks into the fire, not really paying much attention to the people around her as she admires the light.
Flash_Guardian watches as the last of the gypsies actually heads to bed. Strange, from what he remembers, Gypsies never slept. They just danced and sang all through the night, and never went to bed before their guests. He shrugs, looking back to Bida curiously. "Perfect? What are you thinking?" He looks around awkwardly. "I guess we should find someplace else? Don't want to wake the occupants."
Flash_Guardian seems depressed that he missed the dancing. He clearly doesn't want to go.
Oraine appears first as a pool of shadows that from under a tree. From the shadow appears the figure of Oraine, the shadows travel up around him like a second cloak. His dark eyes scan the area curiously before he steps out into the camp.
Bida looks at Flash and smiles innocently, almost too innocently, "Who said I was planning anything, love?" She looked around, "If you want to go, or we can stay. Your choice."
Flash_Guardian gazes back at the firelight longingly, then back at his love, grinning with excitement. "I wanna dance," he says, then turns and calls to the others around him, breaking from his love. "Hey, anyone here a musician?" he asks eagerly.
Bida raises her eyebrow at Flash, and looks around at the others. Her hand strayed to her pocket, where she kept her flute, but she had a feeling Flash didn't mean her.
War looks at Flash with a grin, "Nope, but its on my to-do list."
Jaia-Asumoto remained where she was, in the traditional sitting style of a japanese samurai...both knees on the ground, while she sat back onto her feet, and seeing she was rather light, this did not bother her in anyway. Each hand was resting to the leg on either side, as her posture was straight, her eyes closed...and thanks to the loss of her hat, her hair remained a cascade of untidiness sliding down her shoulders. She noticed the presence of others arriving, and acknowledged them indivdually with a nod before a single voice caught her attention. She was a musicion...but she had left her flute behind in the village. Sighing with a slight pang of displeasure at the thought of destroying the male's enthusiam so she looked up and spoke, deciding to give him the honesty he deserved, "I would play for you...But I fear I have left my flute in Asumoto Village..and it is a good day's walk from here." bowing her head gently, she sighed apologeticly, "Forgive me."
Bida steps forwards, withdrawing her own flute, "You could play mine, if you wish."
Oraine steps quietly into the camp, small tendrils of shadows trailing behind him. He looks around at everyone,"wow, there's people here," he says a bit surprised.
War turns her head to look at Oraine with a grin, "Thats what i thought."
Flash_Guardian just grins, the ladies' responses not seeming to matter. He quickly unties the pouch from his side, kneeling and placing his pouch on the ground before him. His mouth moves as he mutters something, placing a flat palm to the brand on the pouch's side. All at once the rune there glows, and the pouch quickly swells, now the size of a large sack. He pulls open the drawstring and reaches inside. After fishing around for a moment, he pulls out two objects: a silver flute which he sets in his lap, and a guitar which he sets on the ground next to him. "Not a problem," he says to the others with a grin.
Bida notices Flash's bag, and laughs. She is genuinely amused and walks to his side and sits, almost leaning on his shoulder.
Oraine turns to War and looks at her curiosly,"wow, you know your eyes are orange?" He moves his eyes as if trying to look at his own,"I wonder if I could have orange eyes too." he walks over to her,"I'll trade you."
Bida nudges Flash softly, "Play something, and I'll dance for you."
Jaia-Asumoto bows her head gently, as she smiled a little...pleased that she would dishonour those around her. For a moment she noticed Flash's use of magic and winced a little bit, seeing she did not genuinly enjoy the presence of magic..which is why she always felt safer in the Asumoto Village. Smiling gently, her brown eyes closing once more as she inhaled a steady breath, taking in everything around her before releasing it in a breath to clear her mind. Looking up at Flash and Bida, she looked to Oraine and War and chuckled inwardly. It seemed partnerships bloomed everywhere. She, however, did not mind the solitude...as her path always bordered the lonely. Sighing softly, she leant back onto her feet, with a far more relaxed expression.
Flash_Guardian makes a large 'o' with his mouth, quickly rising and snagging the bag and flute, dragging the bag off to the side and away from the firelight. "Oh! Well, now, I can't very well turn down such a beautiful lady's request, can I?" He beams back at her mischievously, seating himself quickly. He sets the flute down on his bag, on open offer for anyone to use it. With that, he takes his guitar and begins quickly tuning it. Bags of holding weren't very kind on such instruments.
War glances at the eyes like her own shining in the shadow of the trees before looking back at Oraine, "I was recently made awear of that fact, and i like them just how they are," She looks at his eyes for a moment, "But yours are pertty cool to, why would you want mine?"
Oraine shrugs,"well, mine are black, and it's kind of boring, because it matches the rest of me. I guess it's convenient for hiding in the shadows, they blend in. But orange eyes would be fun, people could look at a shadow and see creepy orange eyes." He pauses,"and just because it'd be something new." he sits down,"I'm bored."
Flash_Guardian quickly has his guitar tuned and ready. He wastes no time, quickly strumming away a lively little tune, just the basic melody to start with.
War watches Oraine, struggling not to laugh at his comment about shadows and creepy orange eyes, wondering if he had looked at Blood Moon as he arrived, "I'm used to not changing." She says, glancing around with a grin at the instruments before turning her gaze back to Oraine, "At least it looks like there might be something happening here soon."
Bida stretches her arms and stands. Walking towards the fire, she took a few tentative steps, her hips moving to the rhythm.
Bida soon got into it, flowing and moving gracefully, like a lily on the water. She half spread her wings, the white feathers catching the firelight and seeimg to glow gold. Her eyes lit up as she danced.
Oraine looks at her like she's crazy,"no change! Are you kidding me?" He looks around at the instruments,"you know, I've changed alot. Once I was an Elf, and then I saw my village get killed, so I killed this demon, and poof, there went my conscience. So the leader of the demons brought me to this sorcerer who turned me into a Dark Elf, and I killed a bunch of people. I guess that was wrong, but that's okay. So no change huh? That must get boring after a while."
Flash_Guardian is a decent enough musician, but perhaps by some greater fortune or the luck of the lunar eclypse, or even some latent magic of the gypsy camp, his music is easy to get into. Not too fast to be overwhelming, not too slow to be unenergetic. He begins to add little plinks to his song and other ornamentations after a moment, looking up and smiling at his love and her golden wings, watching her movements with interest. He shoots a look back at the others, wondering if they'll get into the dance as well.
War nods at Oraine, "I got used to it a while ago. I pay more attention to the changes around me now." She seemed to take his story in her stride, with the look of someone who had heard many like it.
Jaia-Asumoto watched with a silent interest, her eyes in their soft, adorable brown..gazing upon the roaring flames as she sighed softly into the light breeze that seemed to flow, unreflected by the branches of the trees around them. Closing her eyes for a moment she began to reflect what had happened recently. The Blood Moon Assasins had evaded the Black Talon again...but barely..and things were getting dangerous. Her village would soon be threatened by the conflict..and she knew it. Sighing for what seemed the umpteenth time..she watched the surroundings and listened to the place in all the music that appeared to move gently through the place. Looking down...she felt a slight pain in her side. Wincing she knew it was the same wound she had received three days ago. Attacked again..in her own village...but who kept sending assasins? She shook her head and consentrated on the music...smiling a little forgetting all worries for the time being.
Bida is becoming almost intoxicated by the dance and the music and the happiness. She hadn't felt like this in a long time, nor had she danced like this in centuries. She moved closer to Flash, now dancing in circle around him.
[Flash_Guardian ] With a flourish, Flash strikes a chord and lets it linger for a moment before returning to the melody once more. And this time, with words. o/' love ... I get so lost, sometimes ... days pass ... and this emptiness fills my heart ... when I want to run away, I drive off in my car ... but whichever way I go, I come back to the place you are ... o/'
Oraine watches the dance with only mild amusement, not that Bida wasn't good at it, or that Flash wasn't a good musician, it was just that very few things interested him for very long. He nods to War,"you know, I don't think I'd ever get used to not changing." His face grows a bit more serious at the music,"excuse me a minute, I think I'd like to join in on the dance." he stands.
Bida moves back towards the fire, drawing her sword, and moving it with the same grace she moved herself with. She sheathed it again after tossing it in the air with a spin, all in one fluid motion. She danced on, seeming tireless.
War smiles at Oraine, not bothering to reply as she lays back on the grass, her gaze on the sky as she listens to the music her arms going to rest behind her head.
Flash_Guardian picks up the volume just a little, smiling appreciatively into the music and singing out his joy. o/' ... all my instincts ... they return ... and the grand facade ... so soon will burn ... without a noise ... without my pride ... I reach out from the inside ... o/'
War glances at Bida, only just seeming to notice her wings. She frowns, turning to look over at Blood Moons eyes which she can still see in the shadows as she thinks.
Oraine stops a little ways away from bida, not wanting to interrupt her at all. he draws his two sabers out and lays them on the ground. he begins forming shadows into more sabers, laying them on the ground in an intricate pattern. He reaches down and picks up the original two, somehow picking them out from the collection he has created. Closing his eyes a moment he feels the music, then leaps in among the pattern, somehow avoiding the various blades as he steps gracefully among them in time with the music, twirling, spinning, his hands forming patterns in the air.
Bida 's movements seem to exaggerate as the volume raises. She spreads her wings fully for a moment, then half closes them again as her eyes fall on the other dancer. She moves towards him, and circles him twice before returning to where she was beside the fire.
Flash_Guardian closes his eyes, now fully lost to the music, smiling happily. o/' in your eyes, the light, the heat, in your eyes, I am complete, in your eyes, I see the doorway ... to a thousand churches, in your eyes, the resolution ... of all the fruitless searches ... I see the light and the heat ... oh, I want to be that complete ... I want to touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes ... o/'
Flash_Guardian seems to calm, the music subduing slightly as he moves from the chorus into another verse, keeping the rhythm steady. o/' ... love ... I don't like to see so much pain ... so much wasted ... and this moment keeps slipping away ... I get so tired of working so hard for our survival ... I look to the time with you ... to keep me awake and alive ... o/'
Bida spins towards Flash, and kneels in front of him as he sings. She leans over to him and gives him a quick kiss on the cheek. Standing, she leaned near his ear, "Don't worry. It'll all be perfect. I promise." and she set off, without waiting to hear a responce.
Oraine suddenly begins kicking each saber into the air, spinning around them, or even under them, narrowly escaping the rain of steel the he creates around himself. The blades begin to fall into a new pattern, just as intricate as the first, as the music slows he picks up a speed double that of the music, fairly disappering under the blur of sabers. Finally he stops, the sabers weaving around him in a circular pattern, with him standing in the center.
Flash_Guardian is startled by a suddne kiss, smiling and trying to keep from breaking his rhythm. Unfortunately, he seems to have been distracted from the remaining words, so ... he just plays an improvised bridge, nodding after his love and mouthing, 'Thank you!'
War turns to watch Oraine with a grin.
Jaia-Asumoto watches as the music moves, and the dancing seems to move with it...the flames and the people as if one entity. If only she had learnt other styles of dancing, otherwise she would have gotten up as well. She watched the others dance until one made a sudden move, kissed the musician and left as quickly as it took for the flames to dance. Sighing softly, she lowered her head gently...her petite form casting a shadow twice its size as the flames continued to dance into the night. Wishing somehow that she was home, asleep in her own house. Looking up, she noticed that the singing had ceased, but the music had continued. Closing her eyes gently, she sighed again...just relaxing in all the purity of the moment provided.
Flash_Guardian again closes his eyes and lets the music swell with his own emotions, plucking and strumming delightfully. o/' ... all my instincts ... they return ... and the grand facade ... so soon will burn ... without a noise ... without my pride ... I reach out from the inside ... o/'
Oraine lets the sabers stay where they are, carefully stepping among them until he is free of the circle. it seems that the moment he leaves it that grin spreads across his face once more. He goes back over to War and sits down,"you should have danced with me, would have been more fun that way."
Flash_Guardian seems happy that others are enjoying his music also, though the shadowy blades doesn't seem to distract him too much. He makes not of it and continues, pouring his heart into the words. All who hear him can feel the meaning behind the words that tells them he knows and feels what he is singing. o/' in your eyes, the light, the heat, in your eyes, I am complete, in your eyes, I see the doorway ... to a thousand churches, in your eyes, the resolution ... of all the fruitless searches ... I see the light and the heat ... oh, I want to be that complete ... I want to touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes ... in your eyes ... in your eyes ... o/' And slowly, he brings the song to a close with one final, lingering chord, pausing and letting the last notes linger in the air a moment longer before at last looking around to the others with a happy smile. ((Credit for lyrics go to Peter Gabriel.))
Flash_Guardian seems very pleased by his splendid performance, hoping he did the other gypsies proud.
War just watches Oraine as he walks over to her, "I wasn't awear that was an option. I'll keep it in mind if theres a next time." She says, her grin widening slightly.
Oraine nods vigorously,"of course it's an option. I mean, that was fun enough, imagine how interesting it would be if I had to keep two people from being cut." he seems to ponder the thought, eyes lighting up,"now THAT would be fun."
Jaia-Asumoto opens her eyes slowly, concerns for the Clan, subsiding as the sound of the singer's voice came to a final close. Bowing her head gently to show her appreciation for the talent displayed, she wished she knew who the hosts were...as to honour them for their hospitality. Standing slowly, she moved in a slow circle around the fire, her right hand extended, palm down to feel the flames flicker and lick at her olive brown skin, while her brown eyes merely danced with the reflection of the flames...and as always..she never strayed far from Ichijmond.
War laughs, "Sounds fun at that." She sits up, still watching Oraine and wondering why she hadn't joined in, before shrugging the thought off as good hind-sight, "So, the eternal search for entertainment." She says randomly.
Flash_Guardian bows his head, wincing at the rather gory conversation near him. He looks to each in turn, offering them a smile. His eyes at last come to rest on Jaia. He quickly sets his guitar aside and stands, making his way over to her, his red cape trailing behind him as he moves, careful to stay out of her way. He bows respectfully as only one experienced in the martial arts can. "How do you do, my lady?" he asks inquisitively, noting a lingering concern in her demeanor, her look rather clashing with the cheery surroundings. "I trust you are well?"
Oraine looks around curiosly as if looking for something to do,"well, yes. I mean, after the war was over and I couldn't fight anymore, I went traveling. And I found that I was bored, just bored." he shrugs again,"I mean, I've already been told tonight that I'm insane, maybe I am." he looks over at her,"have you ever had a slave? I always wondered what it would be like to have a slave," he pauses," or be a slave, maybe I'll try both sometime." His eyes widen,"or I'll try both at the SAME time!"
Flash_Guardian calls over his shoulder to Oraine. "Why don't you enslave yourself, then?" he comments sarcastically, winking.
War continues to grin, wondering if he was always this entertaining or if he was trying, "Pretty much everyone is a slave to something or someone." She pauses a moment before adding, "I think i had a slave once, a long time ago. It was quite interesting if i remember rightly."
Jaia-Asumoto moved slowly, feeling the flames as they bite and burn her skin, but only lightly to cause a heated feeling against the palm of her hand. Closing her hand, curling it into a fist, did she withdraw it from the flames, before turning her head in the direction of the voice that seemed to be directed toward her. She inclined her head for a moment, averting her narrow brown eyes back toward the flames before looking back up at him with a small smile lingering on her small mouth, "I am...living. I suppose that means a little" bowing her head in respect of his presence...although she was used to being bowed too..by her students and fellow samurai. She shrugged lightly and turned to look down to her left where the sheathed katana, Ichijmond lay.."And you, sir? How do you fair?"
Oraine looks at flash,"you think i could really do that? Wow, that might be kind of fun, but then again, who wants to be a slave to themselves?" he turns back to War,"really, you had a slave? What's it like? Should I try it sometime?"
[War ] Well mine never seemed to last very long. In those days i got in pretty foul tempers quite alot. They weren't very good at surviving those *looks thoughtful* But when each was around it was pretty good.
Flash_Guardian nods reverenly. "Living means everything," he says appreciatively, placing a hand on his chest as if to reaffirm his own existence. "I think I believe that now more than I have in a long time." His eyes follows Jaia's gaze back to her sword, lingering over it and appraising it quickly, squinting at it. "You bear the sword of a samurai," he states observantly. "And you also bear something else, something that keeps you from enjoying a good song and brisk dance." He turns away, not wanting to pry. She would reveal her troubles as she would.
[Flash_Guardian ] "Nothing is impossible, sir," he grins back at Oraine. "Least of all in a place like this."
Oraine nodded considering her words. 'Well hey, you said in 'those days' what about 'these days?' Wanna slave now? I could be your slave, at least for a few days, and then we could switch, come on, it would be fun."
[War ] W/me thinks for s moment, "There are less things to annoy me now, so less bad moods, and so less death. I don't really think i'm the right kind of person to be a slave." She adds simply.
War thinks for a moment, "There are less things to annoy me now, so less bad moods, and so less death. I don't really think i'm the right kind of person to be a slave." She adds simply.
Jaia-Asumoto turns her gaze sharply to the male that had been refered too several times that night, her brown eyes focusing on him, before she tilted her head to one side. She nodded slowly, before moving her left hand to her right side, touching her side through the kimono and pulling back as blood was brought up to stain the fabric. It bled now and again..but it was healing. Surviving a cut from a ninja-to was her luck, and seeing it was while she was bathing...it wasn't exactly the most honourable thing to happen to her. Shuddering lightly, she looked up at Flash before speaking, "I am Samurai. As I am not one for entertainment...I have a duty to my people..but..your right. I do bear something else, and...if..your are observant..perhaps you may have noticed that too..." she said this in her quiet voice, fluent english although with a heavy Japanese accent. She spoke in all honesty..as she did not mean to offend anyone at all.
Oraine rolls his eyes exasperated,"well that's no fun. I mean, i think it would be fun to be a slave, and then have a slave, I mean, that would just be alot different. And it's at least something I've never tried before." he lays down,"hmm, now what am I gonna do?"
Flash_Guardian looks back to Oraine grimly, as if the conversation seems to have struck a particular chord with him. "Don't bother, sir. Slavery is over-rated. You're much better off with your freedom intact. No sense working for anyone else but yourself, your own heart and mind." He seems stern as he says this.
War pouts for a moment before brightening up again, "You could try running around in circles until you fall over!"
Oraine sits up as if he was about to do it, then his smile drops,"Well, I think I tried that before. It was fun, until the whole falling part." he turns to her,"well hey, what do you do for fun?"
Flash_Guardian seems shocked as the woman's hand is pulled back stained with red, his eyes quickly darting down to find the wound. "Forgive me, I hadn't noticed at all," he says, eyes wide and now filled with concern. "By my honor, I am bound to offer my healing to aid you," he tells her, steadying himself in preparation for his form of healing which did not come easily.
War glances at Blood Moons orange eyes in the shadow of the trees before looking at Oraine and responding, "I go for a ride or walk, or hang out with other people. I ran out of new ideas a long time ago. These ones nearly always still work though."
Jaia-Asumoto stands there as if unaffected by the pain which shot up her side at the re-disturbance of the wound. She bowed her head softly, and smiled warmly unable to do much else but answer his statement, "I would not stain your honour by denying you the right to do so...But I deplore magic in most of its forms. To use it would shame me. But if it is your honour that I must uphold then I shall accept no shame for allowing you to do as you must." looking back down at the flames, she noticed the presence of another near the camp, her sharp eyes detecting a presence there...but not making them out that well. She noticed the Blood Moon Assasins were not going to follow her to this location... at least she hoped.
Oraine looks over at the horse,"hey, it has orange eyes too. It seems orange eyes are popular now. I had a horse once, thought it would be more fun to walk, so I let it go." he looks around boredly,"well hey, what's your name?"
[War ] I've never really understood why he has the same eyes as me. Obviously it wasn't a very good horse.
Flash_Guardian smiles to Jaia confortingly. "You need not worry at all, miss. My healing is not magical in nature. Rather it is a form of ki, the healing touch of the spirit, a skill I have acquired from my years of training. No honor lost for me, and no pride lost for you." He nods his head, then kneels next to her, sitting back on his legs. He closes his eyes in deep concentration, splaying his flat, open palms out in front of him. He breathes deeply, and a soft white glow envelops his hands. He moves his hands to lay them gently upon Jaia's injuries; at last he exhales. Upon contact, the white light would flow into the damaged parts. The light is soothing and warm, speeding to the hurt places and working to mend the broken flesh anew.
Oraine shakes his head,"no, he was a good horse, I just got bored, let him go, he was happier that way anyway. I tend to get bored alot, I asked this genie if you could make dark elf genies, you know, through that whole procreation thing. She got mad, now THAT was fun, but walking without the horse, that got kind of boring too."
[War ] I'm known generally as Scarlet. Pissing off a genie, that actually does sound like fun. I enjoy riding, and hes great company anyway. Its not like i could set him free, hes not really trapped with me or anything.
Jaia-Asumoto she nodded, slowly accepting his explanation before she felt her wound close, and the bleeding cease. A small scar would be left as the ninja-to used against her was an agile weapon. Had it not caught her so unprepared, Ichijmond would have tasted her enemies flesh at the same time. She looked around slowly, still unsure of whether or not she needed to be concerned. If the Blood Moon were out in force again, looking for another to attack..she felt she would have to confront them alone this time around as her samurai were always occupied. She closed her eyes slowly, feeling that soothing energies of Ki moving steadily through her own spiritual force, her eyes downcast as she allowed herself a moment to regain her composure, accepting the teachings of Bushido as each lesson moved into her mind like some form of review. Noting that the one beside her was a student of martial arts, although..perhaps not the same as Kendo..perhaps he was like Dae-Mi in the sense she was just a martial artist. Hey eyes fell --
Jaia-Asumoto -- upon the flames again, watching as the orange tongues flicked and danced in the night...unable to draw her attention away...her mind so clear until she looked back at Flash, the wound almost completly healed...which had surprised her. Just standing there...she bowed her head lightly, to express..in a small way..some of her gratitude at his removing a damning hinderance. "Did you have a teacher...a sensei of some sort?"
Oraine nods,"well, I'm Oraine, it's nice to meet you Scarlet. And yes, making the genie mad was very fun, but alas she said that you can't make dark elf genies. I almost asked her if that procreation thing is really all it's cracked up to be, but I didn't want to make her more mad."
[War ] Why not? *pause* Wouldn't it have been more fun to make her more mad?
Oraine thinks to himself for a minute,"well, I suppose it would have been. But then she started throwing stuf at me, so I didn't have much of a chance to say anythig else. I just started throwing it right back."
War nods, "Ahhh that problem. I've never actually met a genie." frowns at this realisation.
Oraine shrugs,"well, they're not all that fun, they take everything too seriously, so you're not really missing out. Well, except for that three wishes thing, I still haven't made mine." he looks over at her,"so how about you, is that whole procreationg thing what it's cracked up to be?"
Flash_Guardian rises after inspecting the wound, the healing complete, or as much as he is capable of. There is a bit of sweat on his forehead and he seems slightly wobbly and woozy, yet he smiles proudly, happy to have helped in some way. He nods to the woman, noting her gaze lingering on the campfire. "I have studied under many senseis in my time and training," he replies. "The first of which was a friend and companion by the name of Gendrin." He smiles, remembering the little furball fondly. "He trained me in the skills of the hand and fist. And I learned many other skills by studying under others along my path." He thinks for a moment. "Currently I am studying under a man by the name of Kazuya Kiruitseki ... less formally known as LoX. He is training me to better harness the powers of the mind," he explains happily, then takes on a curious look. "Why do you ask, if I may be so bold as to question?"
[War ] How could you not have made your wishes ... at least 2 of them at least. You should always keep something for emergancies.
War thinks for a moment, "Procreation. I would be surprised if it was."
Oraine arches a brow, "well, because there's just so much to wish for, wouldn't it be slightly foolish to make such wishes hastily?" he seems to frown in disappointment,"how come no one I ask seems to know the answer to that question?" he shrugs and smiles again looking around.
War just grins at Oraine, "Most people are probably to imbarrased to answer truthfully, or maybe they don't want to get your hopes up, or pressure you." Continues thinking of reasons but shuts up.
Jaia-Asumoto notes the unease in his body, and realizes that he had spent a rather taxing amount of Ki on mending her wound. She heard his answer and her brown eyes darted back to the flame, but this time only for a moment...taking in the serenity of its calm dance..and yet also keeping in mind the effectivness of its destruction. Her hair, was still in its untamed state, resting about in long waves of black strands. Her eyes narrowed, but only to keep the light from blinding her..and to keep a sharper eye on Flash. At his question she merely shrugged, without her usual pause before answering she spoke plainly, "I was wondering as to the extent of your training. I learned Jet Su and Kendo under Azure Kasumoto..He was my one and only sensei as his knowledge of all the styles of Kendo were extensive. I only truly specialzed in Shinto Munen and basic.." smiled now, a tad warmer then before, "I apologise...if my exterior..makes me seem cold...But I am not one for humour and the only dance I do is traditional to my people.--
Jaia-Asumoto -- which I am sure...does not go hand in hand with the music of guitar." smirked a tiny bit before sighing, "Besides...without those in mind, I still have enough to worry about."
Oraine sighs deeply,"well, maybe I'll get the chance to try it someday, and not have to ask. I don't see why people would be embarrassed to answer though. I mean if I don't mind asking then why should anyone mind telling?"
War shurgs, "I don't know. Some people think in really strange ways." Lays back down with her arms behind her head and looks up at the sky.
Oraine watches her for a moment and then lays down too, mirroring her with his hands behind his head.
Flash_Guardian nods, smiling as the woman seems slightly more at ease. "My style of fighting is ... less traditional and more ... informal at times," he explains awkwardly. "I suppose it's a rather interesting blend of basic, Jujitsu, Crane, and a rather exotic form known as Tai-bo." He grins. "To me, the fight is just as much an art and a dance as it is a weapon. Also, I tend to mix magic with fist ..." He stops, remembering her opinions of magic, stated earlier, now seeming rather awkward, rubbing his neck with his hand. "Errr, umm ... I mean ..." He sighs, closing his eyes and shaking his head.
Jaia-Asumoto shakes her head a little bit before looking at him, cocking her head to one side, before giggling, in the quietest way she could. "Your opinion on magic is different from mine. I tend to exercise the body for full control of my skills...without magic." coughs at the mention of the word and shakes her head, again..before turning toward him a little more...although she kept Ichijmond in the back of her mind. A samurai's sword was their life. To lose it..hurt them more then being cut down..or captured...because in capture they could take their own lives..and die with honour. She kept her attention focused entirly on him without changing her focus. "The samurai under my rule do not practise magic..and even if they tried...inside Asumoto it is useless anyway." smiles, and then yawns lightly realizing that time was creeping up to overtake her. "I have a fight schedualed in the Pit tomorrow morning. I have to ensure the watch has been set in the village and temple. " picks her hat up quickly, before slipping it --
War looks up at the clouds with a grin, "I wonder how they thought up clouds." She mutters, just loud enough for people to hear if they were actually listening.
Jaia-Asumoto -- over her head, without worrying to bunch her hair up, leaving it to dangle about her shoulders without any particular concern. Slowly, her left hand grasps the sheath of her katana, Ichijmond still inside, settled comfortably in its cover, before sliding the sheath back through her sash, leaving her left and on the pommel of the blade for easier access in emergencies, and making it easier to hold as she walked or ran. Bowing at her hips, to honour him, she stood up slowly and smiled, "One day...I wouldn't mind hosting you in my village. Its....a very long way from civilisation and no known road can find it..but then thats the nature of most of the places around here these days. I thank you, Flash-san.." smirked, at the use of his name..having heard it before.
Oraine grins in amusement,"now that might be fun to think about. Who did come up with clouds."
War laughs, "I wasn't really wondering who, just how. They must have been on something major that day."
Flash_Guardian relaxes slightly, pleased that the woman respected his ways, at least. "I would be honored to visit this place you speak of, Asumoto," he tells her. "To prove that my skills are indeed formidable without my ma- ... my more exotic skills. And it would be an honor to meet your sensei as well." Flash was curious at the mention of a pit fight, but decided perhaps that question was for another time. He seems startled as the woman says his name, not remembering ever giving it to her. He grins suspiciously at the woman. "Now that's hardly fair to use my name when you haven't even given me yours," he reasons, tilting his head to one side.
Oraine sits up a bit,"but you know, who is 'they'. I mean, are there really people that thought up everything. Or did it just happen as some freak accident?" he shrugs and forms a small ball of shadows, stretching it out into a rope and swinging it around aimlessly.
Jaia-Asumoto turns gently, but not as he spoke,...as not to be rude. She tilted her head to one side as she noticed the flames had begun to burn out..like most things do. She turned her attention back to him, her face hidden by the shadow cast by the straw hat, "Jaia Asumoto...Head of the Asumoto Clan. I am the Sensei there...Kasumoto is the head of the Shadow Guild. His clan is far from this world...whatever they call it..." nodding lightly she then, looked up at the sky to examin the time, "I must go..if I am to make it home in time for sleep...and then to make it to the tournament. Its the Pitwars..incase your interested." she dropped a hint..for the simple reason..her curiousity had no bounds..and she truly did wish to see how well he fought...even with his 'exotic skills'. Bowing lighter this time, she smiled as time progressed on.
War turns her gaze to the shadows rope-thing, "Probably both, they thought something up, but then had an accident and it turned out how it is." She says completely seriously.
Flash_Guardian bows respectfully to the woman as she departs. "Sayonara, Jaia-san."
Oraine grows bored quickly and tosses the rope backwards where it would simply melt into other shadows nearby. "Yeah, you're probably right."
Flash_Guardian glances around the camp, seeing the other pair still present laying on the ground and stargazing, no doubt. He would quickly collect his belongings, stowing his guitar and flute back inside the bag. He is about to close it up when he remembers something else. He reaches inside and pulls out a small metallic rod and some gold coins before closing it and uttering the word of reversal, sending the sack back to its original pouch size. He moves to the rear of one of the wagons, appraising the goods within. The magical quarterstaff should easily cover anything he wished to take; besides, it was no use to him anymore.
War gets up and walks over to the stallion, who moves slightly out of the shadows to meet her.
Flash_Guardian looks everything over, not really sure what to take.
War pats him on the nose before walking over to Flash, the horse following close behind her, "Hi."
Flash_Guardian looks aside at the woman, still holding the metallic rod and handful of coins indecisively. He gives particular interest to the previously unseen horse. "Oh. Hello," he says, greeting her cheerily. He turns to look back into the wagon for a moment before an idea strikes him. He turns to look back at the woman. "Say, I don't suppose you'd know of anyone who's looking for a magical quarterstaff, would you?" He cocks his head to the side bemusedly.
War grins, "No sorry i don't. But remembering the last time i saw you, i'm surprised you havn't eaten it."
Flash_Guardian looks perplexed for a moment, then laughs as he remembers the other day. "Right, you were in the pub when LoX fixed me breakfast," he says, nodding and grinning. "We were never formally introduced, though. I'm Flash," he says with a reverent bow.
[War ] Most people generally call me Scarlet. *does a half bow with a teasing hand flourish*
Flash_Guardian nods. "Scarlet it is, then." He then sets his load in the back of the wagon and turns to regard the horse. "And you?" he says, asking the horse quite seriously. Moving close, he puts a hand up before the horse, allowing him to catch his scent and leaning close to the horse's ear to whisper something inaudible to the woman.
War watches him interact with her horse, an eyebrow raised at the fact that it wasn't trying to attack him for being too close.
Flash_Guardian listens closely for a moment, then makes an odd sort of face. "Blood moon?" His face wrinkles up strangely. "That's an odd sort of name for a horse ... wha?" He looks back to the animal, listening again. His eyes soon go big and he slowly, timidly backs away from the horse. "Sorry, sorry. Didn't mean to intrude," he apologizes to the horse.
War laughs, wondering for a moment what is wrong with Flash. It wasn't that Blood Moon wasn't intellegant, it was more that if he was going to talk to anyone it wouldn't be Flash. "For a guy to be more interested in talking to my horse, i must be really uninteresting."
Flash_Guardian seems rather bashful, waving his hands at her. "No, no! Not at all," he argues. "Just didn't want him to feel left out of the conversation, that's all. Spirited, this one," he tells her, nodding and obviously impressed. "He does seem to be rather protective of you."
War grins, "Only when there are less than 4 people around. But i think that has more to do with his disliking crowds."
Flash_Guardian nods. "Ahh." With introductions out of the way, he returns his attention to the back of the gypsy's wagon once more, looking as perplexed as before. "Geez, I have no idea what to take ... I'm not even sure what's there, really." He looks back to the other woman. "I mean, do you remember any of those stories you've heard about the gypsies and the stuff they can make? You know, potions, or herbs, or wine ... wait, I don't drink," he says, reminding himself.
War looks at what is in the wagon for a moment before stepping back again, "I've never really had anything to do with gypsy's. But i have a vague memory of some cool looking jewlery."
Flash_Guardian ponders that for a time, rubbing his chin and smiling. "Jewelry ... yeah, that might be kinda neat. Hmmm." He hops up into the wagon and begins looking around through some of the boxes, eventually spying a small bag of gems and a bit of silver. "This oughtta cover it," he says, grinning and hopping back out of the wagon. "Besides, it's been a while since I crafted anything magical. I should probably make sure I still can, right?" he tells the woman, hopping back out of the wagon happily.
Glyniss_McMasters hums softly as she limps along the pathway she had newly discovered....the humming actually covering up the noise of the soft clicking of metal as she stops scanning about to get her surroundings...narrowing eyes as she sees a brightly painted vehicle of some sort between the trees...
Robert~Darklord enters the outskirt of the camp, standing there for a moment as he takes a breath, the air showing as it was a little chilly this morning, his hands dug into his pockets as he waited for his sister to join him
War watches Flash with apparent interest, "Maybe, that way you don't waste too much of your time. Not that wasting time matters to some people." She quickly adds.
Katlah would be clothed in her black cloak on this morn as her boots were covered with small drops of morning dew that splattered upon the black leather as she approached to where Rob was and stood beside him before turning her head, her face almost fully shrouded by the black cloak. "Morning"
Glyniss_McMasters shakes her head a little as she continues onward keeping the vehicle to her left....tilting her head a little as she picks up voices drifting from the camp though not much of what they said...one sounding faintly familir
Robert~Darklord smiles as he turns his head softly, fishing out a cigarette and lighting it before he takes a drag of it, blowing the smoke into the air before he speaks "Morning" He started walking towards Flash and War, smiling "Morning! How are ye doing this chilly morn?"
Flash_Guardian frowns a little at that. "Well, I used to have all the time in the world," he says sadly. "Not so much anymore. But we'll see." He shrugs, dumping the gems and bits of silver into his pouch. Amazingly enough, it all seems to fit in spite of its size. "Gypsy silver, too. Probably has some interesting properties to it." He looks away. "Anyway, I'd better be off, or the others will worry about me." Flash nods once more to the pair (the horse, too) and begins to walk off.
Flash_Guardian nods and waves back to Robert. "Morning," he replies, passing the man by, heading in Glyniss's direction.
War returns Flashs nod, adding a wave as per her style before turning at the sound of Roberts voice.
War turns to Blood Moon as she stallion is about to go back into the trees, "For once i'm with you Moon." She says as she pulls herself onto his back and is carried away.
Glyniss_McMasters stops immediatly catching the sound of maybe a third or even a forth....maybe entering a stranger's camp isnt a good idea.... her brows knit as even the forth voice sounded familair....ooh yes nodding as she places it to the motor bike bloke turning about not wishing to witness that again....limping back along the pathway
Katlah remains silent as she watched, noting the area and the people inside it, unless they were hidden. She kept still, her back straight and her right foot a few inches away. On the outside, she was making all the motions of a statue, though on the inside her mind was a busy, busy thing.
Flash_Guardian spots Glyniss retreating and quickens his pace effortlessly, as is his unusual skill, to catch up with her. "Guess I'd better head back to Kade's camp," he tells her. "You missed one heck of a party, Glyniss," he says, winking to her as he leaves. Yep. He's feeling a lot better now, apparently.
Robert~Darklord shrugs as everyone deserts the place, leaving him and his sister alone to speak alone and enjoy each other's company. He walks over to some wood and picks it up, knocking off the moisture before he threw it onto the fire, getting it to roar once again and provide some heat for the time being as he claims a seat, looking at his sister as he takes another drag "Come and join me by the fire sister, and enjoy the warmth it's providing"
Glyniss_McMasters smiles nodding " It afigure'.....yer sur' asoundin' chirpe'...." limping a little faster to keep up with him..
Flash_Guardian slows down for Glyniss's benefit, not wanting to push her. He contemplates his mood for a moment, head tilted to one side and grinning. "Yeah," he says to himself as much as to Glyniss. "Yeah, I guess I am feeling better." He smiles happily, just as a low rumble sounds forth from his stomach. Flash glances down rather sourly. "Oh for heaven's sake!"
