[Calieo]

       When the man in black leather began speaking again the knight frowned. It was difficult for her to understand what he was saying, the flat and empty sound of his voice being all she could focus on. He agreed to follow, and issued a threat should he receive no payment, that causing Calieo to raise an eyebrow in intrigue. He seemed to have a habit of picking fights with those clearly superior, Denise's horse being another good example of this behavior. He could be first to throw himself at death, a useful quality in Calieo's eyes.

       The oddly dressed girl once again drew the knight's attention, her mention of a new location somewhat irritating initially but overall good to know. She spoke of some organization, most of what she said making no sense though the name these people stood under was enough to keep Calieo invested in hearing about them. Before she could ask the girl to better explain herself, Denise raised her voice and commented on the state of their suddenly inflated travel party. Obviously ready to leave, she was soon atop her horse and offered a place beside her. 

       "You may need a horse to ride upon but I can walk just fine," Calieo commented in a snide tone, somewhat annoyed that her conversation with the oddly dressed girl had been interupted twice now. "You seem to think extra bodies are a bad thing. Bodies are useful," she smirked, hoping to improve her guide's mood by reminding her of that fact.

       Speaking of bodies, the one clad in furs had demanded everyone's attention and had started to lead everyone further away from the city. She seemed irritated still but not overly so now that things were in motion. With her and the girl she was with up ahead of everyone else, she looked back to question how prepared everyone was to travel. Not wanting to be addressed over the shoulder again, Calieo quickened her stride briefly until she was caught up with the the two of them.

       "I can take what I need as we travel. Nature has much to offer and is bad at defending it," Calieo reassured, all she had needed so far being the flesh of dead things, and water. "On a more important subject; girl, tell me more about this Cresent Sun you spoke of." 


[Tirñea]

       Tirñea could only watch and wait as everyone stood silently, her eyes shifting occasionally as she was unsure how to act given the situation. She was somewhat relived when the man broke the silence, running his mouth as if he'd casually just happened to meet everyone here. Something about what he said set off Veronica and she dashed forwards, the man gracefully avoiding her swing and preforming a counterattack with a surprising amount of finesse. Even though he was thwarted by Serena it hardly seemed to phase him, and before Tirñea even realized what had happened Ashley was now standing right beside her.

       Staff raised to protect herself, she let her guard down briefly when all she received was a pleasant wave. Quickly tensing herself again, the Piñuran girl could only watch with confusion and worry as to what was going on. Ashley turned his attention towards Serena with a snap of his fingers, and Tirñea saw it as a chance to try thwacking him across the back. Jamie had a similar idea, lunging forward in a far less subtle fashion than Tirñea was trying for.
