Audry paused, her lungs filling heavy as the breaths came and went. The green eyes piercing into Yevon as she simply stared at him, watching as the man finally collapsed. She tucked the gun back under her robe, wrapping her arm around her body under he breasts as she took a deep breath and another, cringing briefly and wincing before she slowly opened her eyes once more. Audry's eyes turned over from the man to the girl that she was sent to watch over. Audry stepped forward to aid the girl as she moved across the dirt to Yevon's body, though she relented from approaching further when Capella shot a gaze of her own back at her, prompting her to step back. As Capella placed the glyphs upon the wounds that Yevon had sustained, Audry continued to say nothing, simply watching as the girl manifested a collection of crumbling sigils upon the body of the fallen man. As Capella slipped into unconsciousness, Audry's eyes watched the glyphs as they crumbled away, though she took note of the cessation of the bleeding. The man would be fine, at least.

Audry vaulted the sword from her hand into the dirt, following up with an exasperated kick at the dust, scattering a few stones. She sat on the ground next to the two, face buried into her own hands as she seethed. [color=00a651][i]So much for good first impressions...[/i][/color] Audry thought to herself. Between the sound of her own breathing, she caught the faint sound of flapping wings slowly growing louder. 

[color=lightcoral][b]"You've certainly made a mess of things, haven't you, kupo?"[/b][/color]

Audry lifted her head to look upon the source of the voice. A strange little creature, almost like a bear, fluttering in the sky. Audry recalled the creature, it was cradled in Capella's arms as she was falling. Thankfully the little creature was blessed with wings to keep it from being in any real danger. Audry simply looked at the little animal, unsure of what to think.

The Moogle returned the stare, as the two simply were transfixed on each other, unsure of what to say or do, until Audry decided to break the silence to satisfy her curiosity.

[color=00a651][b]You...you're a moogle, aren't you?[/b][/color]

Upon the inquiry, the small creature fluttered down to the woman, immediately returning her question with a few swipes and swats with her paws, to the surprise and chagrin of Audry, who stood up, only to fall back onto the dirt. The Moogle ceased her assault. The furry face of the creature made it a challenge to discern any facial features, yet the little creature exuded an air of annoyance. The Moogle fluttered up slightly, before landing on Audry's chest, staring into her eyes. 

[color=lightcoral][b]"If you are done asking stupid questions, kupo, now is the time to explain yourself."[/b][/color]

Audry jerked up, prompting Amalthea to fly up, stopping at Audry's eye level, as the traveler glared at the Moogle. 

[color=00a651][b]"I already said, I am here to protect the Legendary Hero. I don't have to explain myself further to you!"[/b][/color]

As Audry tried to turn away, Amalthea followed after, repeating this process until Audry was trying to shoo her away, though with little success in so much as touching her. An exasperated Audry ceased her attempts when the Moogle returned to her eye level. Audry glared at her, though Amalthea seemed unphased. 

[color=lightcoral][b]"How do you know the star-child, kupo?"[/b][/color]

Audry sighed, before simply walking away, returning to the site where Capella and Yevon were resting. Audry picked up Yevon, hauling the man over her shoulder and depositing him onto the back of the Horse, strapping him down lest he tumble from the beast. She placed a hand upon the stabilized wounds, attempting to focus the magicite, as a soft light exited from her hands, and onto his flesh, as the wounds slowly began to heal. By the time he awoke, he would be fine, so she hoped. Audry then lifted Capella up, carrying her bridal style towards the horse, as she stepped up, seating herself as she took hold of the reins with one hand, and keeping Capella close to her with the other. The girl was light, light enough that she would not get in the way. Amalthea followed after, floating up to Audry, grabbing onto the woman's robe, though Audry responded by swatting her way, to which the Moogle responded with a swipe. 

[color=lightcoral][b]"What do you think you're doing, kupo? Where are you going?"[/b][/color]

[color=00a651][b]"Wadi al-Qamar, the Valley of the Moon. It's safe there, and they can rest."[/b][/color]

[color=lightcoral][b]"Kupo...if you insist on taking them, it would be smarter to go to Jerusalem, kupo."[/b][/color]

Audry turned to look at the Moogle, [color=00a651][b]"Hmm? Why is that?"[/b][/color]

[color=lightcoral][b]"The star child has a Gummi Ship for her waiting there. If you are serious, it will be a safer trip than traveling by horse."[/b][/color]

Audry pondered over the suggestion. The trip to Jerusalem would take only an hour or two, as opposed to a full day to reach Wadi al-Qamar, and another 3 days past that to Mecca.

[color=00a651][b]"Okay, Moogle. We will go to Jerusalem, but there better not be any traps waiting for me when we get there."[/b][/color]

[color=lightcoral][b]"I expect the same from you, kupo."[/b][/color] Amalthea responded as she landed into Capella's lap, keeping a close eye on Audry.
