[center][h1][b]Benedict Kaspin[/b] and [color=orangered]Theresa ot an Bol'hjar[/color][/h1][/center] [hr] At the sound of water being rocketed in the air, followed by a scream, Ben's head snapped in the direction of the explosive turn of events. He followed the body up into the air and back down, and winced as she connected with the ground again. He stood up from his seat and lifted [b]"Well, she's probably dead."[/b] Ben said, crossing his arms and tilting his head trying to figure out how the fuck that woman had launched and where the fuck she came from. [b]"I'll go and get her. See if she has anything work keeping."[/b] Ben announced, turning to Theresa for confirmation, only to see the woman had run past him and was busy climbing a tree trying to acquire a hat in a tree. More than likely one of the woman's possessions. Ben shook his head and continued on his way. As the woman came into his line of sight she was actually waving her arms around lazily, as if trying to summon something or another. Ben was surprised the woman was alive, but he was [i]flabbergasted[/i] that the woman was conscious. Unfortunately, the woman seemed to fall unconscious not long after he arrived. ...Totally dead. Ben crouched down next to her and looked her over. She was small, and young. Long brown hair. He poked her a few times to be sure she wasn't going to be able to chase them down. Nope. Seemed definitely dead-o. One hundred and fifty percent dead. No doubt about it. He lifted her arm off the ground and patted her down. Unfortunately the woman was in her pajamas and had nothing of real value on her save for a few coins and what looked like a wand. Ben unclasped the leather sheath from her being and pulled the wand out of it, looking the item over. His face contorted into disappointment, but he decided the wand was worth keeping regardless. He slipped it into a pouch in his cloak, and he was about to get up and leave when he Theresa, wearing the hat, knelt down next to him. "She okay?" [b]"Dead."[/b] "Ben, she's [i]breathing[/i]." [b]"....way dead."[/b] Theresa shot up to a standing position and swatted at the same spot she had hit earlier. Ben fell onto his ass and rolled onto his back, moaning like a total wimp, both of his hands holding his assaulted cranium. "Pick her up, Ben. We're taking her back to camp." Ben did as he was told without question, his other hand still rubbing his head as he lifted the young woman and draped her across his shoulder. As they walked, Theresa's face suddenly contorted into anger. "You feel that, Ben?" Ben was quiet for a moment, and he squinted, taking his hand off of his head and holding it palm up in front of him. [b]"Rain."[/b] Theresa suddenly yelled, grabbing the rim of the witch hat she was wearing and throwing it on the ground in frustration. She quickly realized that the owner of the hat wouldn't appreciate such an act and quickly picked it back up and dusted it off, putting it back on her head. "Well there goes the fire!" [b]"I'll kill the fire and grab my stuff. You get your pelt and whatnot in your bag."[/b] Ben said, using his tail to crush the flaming logs and smother them. He was fireproof due to his natural abilities, so this action, fortunately, had no affect on him. With his free hand he scooped up his bags and shouldered them. "I think I saw an enclave not far from here once we left the cave. Just... Follow me." Theresa stated. Ben nodded, and then flicked his head to his friend. An unspoken motion to [i]lead the way[/i].
