Veo looked to at the sound of his name being called. He then saw the blue gem as it sparkled from what remained of the sun as it lowered ever closer to the ground. He put his crossbow away in its place on his back and took slow steps towards it. He then began to speak words that not even he knew he was saying out loud. "Finally, she will have it at last, it's beauty will mirror the one it is for...." He said as he reached her and slowly retrieved the blue gem from her hands. He then looked up towards her and smiled. His free hand clasping hers. "Thank you miss Alice, you do not know how much I appreciate this. It will be a great gift, for a most wonderful and mystical woman." He held it in his hand and lifted it up into the sky to watch the suns rays bounce off of it. He then placed it in his pouch and he had to bring the hand up once more to brush the tear from his eyes. "Finally I have my object of proposal. Just the gem though. This woman is a natural beauty who is one with the nature she surrounds herself with. There for no gold or silver shall touch it." He said as he patted his side. He then looked to the two elves and nodded in their direction. "All three of you will be well paid for this, do not worry." He then took a glance around their surroundings and took note of the tracks of the fleeing warg. "No time for celebrating just yet, we must go now before it returns with more friends." He said. He then looked to the sun and sighed. How much time had passed through this little adventure. He had no idea they had spent so much time outside. It felt like it was only mere minutes not hours. He sighed and then looked to the path they had come from. He then began to take that one path once more. Once they made it to the road they would make it back to the village. He would pay this trio and then head off towards the lake. He only hoped she would accept his gift for what it was and accept him as well. Perhaps she would even move into the village. That was doubtful ,but it would give the village a little extra protection from the outside world. He wouldn't mind at all if he had to move his shop to her location though either. He would find a way though. He then took a glance at Alice and then towards the blood. "It felt different then you expected didn't it? Taking the life of someone even though it was a orc. The first times are always the toughest." He said. Eirika used the cloth from the orcs to clean the blood from her swords. She did not want her fine weapons to rust. She then sheathed them and looked about the battle field as small as it was. It was only a small camp, nothing much to it really. She then noticed in one of the tents a bundle of swords. Rapiers and short swords mainly ,but they were weapons. They must have been taken from the bandits. She walked over and pried them out and held the bundle under her arm. She then noticed the gem as she heard Alice's words. It truly was beautiful as the shop keeper had said. She then watched Veo, the satyr, step towards it tears in his eyes as he seemed lost in his feelings. She recognized such feelings and his chosen words that were spoken only proved it. He was in love and the gem was for a lucky woman. Who apparently lived outside the village and at the lake too. She rose a brow and was curious for a minute and then listened to his next movements. They were to leave and go back towards the village. She nodded and watched him walk off. She then followed in behind him and she could feel the warmness of the sun and looked to it. It would be dark soon and with it the freezing cold of the winter. If they needed to stop she would be prepared for them to do so. She had a few spells that she could cast to better their stay at night. Elduin but a arrow back in its quiver and placed his bow in its place on his back. He then proceeded to follow the group. His thoughts of the matter he kept to himself. Taking small glances back towards the orcs. They would remove their heads and offer them to the Jarl ,but he did not know how the huntress would feel about it. Her reaction to the blood of the orcs was evidence of that. She was new to this kind of combat. However, the heads would provide a good income for them. He decided to go back for a short while drawing out his own sword. He then very cleanly removed the heads from the orcs and constructed a make shift bag from one of the tents to hold them. Once all five heads were securely placed in the bag. He looked for the mule which was showing itself once more as the fighting had stopped. He moved over to it and tied the bag in place. He then cleaned his blade and sheathed it. He then began to walk the mule in behind the group rejoining them from the back.
